Paul, Will your intake castings match up with the 4 (Major) intake ports
on the Renesis 6 port? I was looking at it on the RWS site and kinda had
a brain storm or maybe brain scud as the case may be. Anyway...I have
thought about a plan for the 2 outside intake tubes and I was wondering
if the casting would mate to the Renesis? I have looked at making my own
castings and that still may be a possibility, but I would really like to
get into the air with this thing and not have to reinvent the wheel. So
if anyone out there has a "working intake manifold" for the Renesis I
would love to talk about it. Thanks

No but it does not matter as I don't have any left anyway.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Here's what I did.  I was going to do a comparative dyno of this
manifold on my RX-8 shinka, but found you have to pull the engine to
get the stock manifold out, so this idea won't work.  I'm still working
on getting a test engine dyno'd to see how well it will work.

Mazdatrix is set up to do it Scott if you can get it out to So Cal.
I'll help them get it set up and started.

Scott, if you get that intake manifold Dyno'ed I sure would be
interested in the numbers. A small drop in HP wouldn't effect my
application. I could also get the engine turning and finish fwf.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to post the data on this list when I get it
done.  I've been doing some other projects on the plane, and a few
minor plumbing issues have slowed my intake manifold completion.  Paul
forwarded one message about this to Dave at Mazdatrix, without a
response.  I'll ask him directy in the near future.
