Hello,  Is there any
source for Renesis engines?

Thanks

This question gets asked A-L-O-T!!
We were able to ask Senior VP of Marketing and Product
Development, Robert Davis at the short lead press preview of the
RX-8

 http://rotarynews.com/view.php?id=193

Q: When will the RENESIS be available for purchase as a crate
engine for research / racing purposes?

A: There are barely enough new RENESIS engines for the new
Formula Mazda series. All new production right now are earmarked
for the production cars. But check back in one year.

 They received 70+ orders for race cars, and they are having
 problems
getting engines... and this is a factory sponsored race series!!

 Hello, Thanks for your reply.

I guess I'll just have to advertise to the local wrecking yards.
Please post any new information you may receive.
Thanks

Here's another interesting question w/response from the above link.

"Can the RENESIS be adaped to aviation ?
Jay Amestoy actually brought up aviation in the press conference. He said the rotary is the most successful aviation adaptation
of a automotive engine. However, Mazda is in no position to get into the avaition business."
