Can we safely turbocharge / port a Renesis to achieve 310 hp? Or is it safer

do so with the 20b?

How much would a new Renesis cost from Mazda? The one on ebay is over 5k and
has
not reached the reserve yet.

Hello Dave,

How many psi of boost would you have to give to achieve the 310 hp? at sea
level?  Assume you are thinking about the 247 hp. 6 side port RENESIS?

The problem with that Doug is as of right now there are no low compression rotors out
there for the RENESIS RX8 engine. My guess is 10 psi would make 310 HP for
you on the current engine. IMHO if you try 10 psi with the current high compression 
RX8 rotors you risk detonation.
