Has anyone successfully turbo charged a Renesis for flight?

I want at least 260 hp for takeoff.  Yet want to maintain good life on
the engine.

Paul, could you consult with me on a personal basis?  I would pay.


Rick Irwin

The problem with turbo charging the rotary is low compression
rotors are not available yet. I could be wrong. Perhaps
Guru racing in Australia might be working on low compression
RX8 rotors. You might consider p-porting the RX8 engine
and having the apex seal slots in the rotors deepened slightly
for use with 3rd gen apex seals. Or go with Ianetti
ceramic apex seals.

Naw I am not in to charging for consulting. I would rather
do it for free. Just send me email labeled private.

Rick and anybody else interested

I believe that anybody interested in turbcharging the renesis engine
should read articule link is below.
It has been done in the RX-8 here is australia I cannot find the oringal
articule I read about it,
but the cost was around 100K for the development.

Thanks David,
An Interesting  article, more especially for what it doesn't say.
I'd be more interested in what rotors they used, I couldn't imagine them
using the hight compression (10:1) RX8 rotors and although they used a
larger exhaust the exhaust ports are more restrictive than the RX7.
I really can't see the advantages in the RX8 (over the RX7) for aviation
use. If you take off the fancy manifold, the RX8 is more inclined to male
less power than what a RX7 can be configured for, especially with Turbo or
P-port.
