Did you not get all those pictures I sent? Here they are again.
One RX8 HP curve and two of the sleeves.

       I noticed the pictures after I sent the reply.

       I looked at the sleeves closely on my Renesis. The curved inside
portion looks pretty good. I suppose I could smooth the surface a bit, but
i'm not sure how much improvement it would make. I'm also not sure that
removing them would improve flow and it might do more harm than good.

Mazda backed off the  RX8 HP claims to 238 HP when a bunch of
people started putting RX8's on chaissis dynos. Something to do with
the EPA.

       I think they run 247 in Japan. Still, 238 would be OK too.

       Since the stock computer is not being used, it is quite possible
that 247 HP could happen.

       BTW, I bought my Renesis six port for $1800 + $347 shipping + $200
in paperwork costs.

       He has about 20 more of them.  They are some sort of test engines
from the factory. I borescoped mine and it looks fine inside and out. I'd
guess that they were used for some sort of pollution testing.

So what do you think your manifold is going to cost us here in the
US Bill?
