         It is likely that the new Mazda Renesis engine will put out 200+ 
HP without a turbo, but there is not one in the air, yet. Several folks are 
deep in the throws of installing these new style rotary engines, but they 
have yet to actually fly. It is a two-rotor that weighs slightly less than 
the 13b engine.


         There is always the 20b three-rotor engine....
