Is the Renesis engine a good viable engine for an RV-4?   What is it's
actual horse power?  What are the downsides?

Gene Sandburg


The HP depends mostly on the intake system used and the reduction ratio
of the gear box. Bad intake system 150 HP. Good intake p-port system 240 HP
at 7500 RPM,.
One of the downsides is if you every flood it it is REAL hard to start.
Another is it does not lend itself to turbo charging.

In the future we will have no other choice as 2nd and 3rd gen RX7 engine
parts
are starting to dry up and get costly.

Gene,

Tracy Crook is very pleased with the way his Renesis is working out in his
RV-4.  I think it's a huge improvement over the 13B.
