Paul,

I recently obtained a Renesis engine by going to Bruce Torringtin's shop in
North Carolina and would like to install it on my highly modified Variezy
which I am building. I have Tracy's B model PSRU and recently have become
familiar with your web site. I noticed Gregg's mounting/adapter plate and
have down loaded your instructions on designing a mount. Before I do very
much I was wondering if you have already designed one for a Variezy.

We have something similar. I will change it to fit but
I need the exact dimensions on the firewall hard points
and the position of the thrust line relative to the
mount points. Can you scan the firewall dwgs and email
them to me? If you don't have a scanner you can zerox them
and mail that to me.

What kind of intake do you plan to use?

Does anyone have any experience with Dave's  13b's he sells (sold) and his intakes.  I saw Dave Leonard's experience with cooling passages (water rust), but mine was never run, it's still coated with cosmoline and I Fogged it liek I did the  9 million Outboards I have worked on over the years. I plane to run it at 7500 rpm's , normally aspirated with his cast aluminum intake and hope to achieve 180 hp at full throttle.  Does this sound realistic and are there any problems known with this area.  I am also using his iconel "can" exhaust.

Several people have had trouble with Atkins engines. I recommend Mazdatrix
as they test run all the engines they rebuild and use only new rotor housings
and real Mazda apex seals or optional Iannetti ceramic apex seals.

They also have a dyno if you need to know the HP.
