So just what / will my renesis cost installed ? To date I appear to have done
everything the dear way, but renesis motors and I seem to avoid each other here
in OZ. I bought my motor as a bare block for $1000, and have not seen one
advertised since, in any shape or form.
To -P port, balance the rotors and put in new bearings on the E shaft and
rotors, surface grind all wearing surfaces, around $2500.00
An -O ring kit from Tracy, $300.00
Have the motor reassembled with totally new apex and all other seals, $900.00.
Then came all the -little bits that I did not get with the motor.
4 injectors at $60 each.
4 igniter coils, $25.00 each.
Slide throttle and various alloy bends including those for the rad. $500.00
New water and oil radiator $1400.00
Bolts and similar $100.00
Engine mount $400.00
Oil filter, mount and lines $200.00
Fuel lines and fittings $200.00.
Set of alloy racing pulleys to slow the water pump and alt. $260.00
Alt and starter $170.00
New flex plate $160.00
Exhaust can (321 s/s)and full exhaust system $1000.00
Exhaust gasket, nuts, 13B oil filler pipe and cap, dip stick, $360.00
Rubber engine mounts, and isolated rod ends $130.00 .
Then comes jeff doddridges mounting plate and his renesis water pump outlet.
Tracy's redrive and monitor, plus controller.
A prop at $2500.00
Electrics to date (wire , sensors) $ $300.00
I must be getting close to the end ??? but there are cheaper options like
buying a motor complete in the first place. The states is the place to buy at
the moment and get overhauled with our dollar being where it is. As for time I
have spent surprisingly little time on the motor to date, most has gone on
getting my engine cowlings from scratch. Very nice vacuum bagged carbon fibre,
but enormous time involved. I leave you to add it all up as I get a head ache
when I see what I have spent. That however will abate once it starts.

I am sure you are at a disadvantage being in the outback.
If you lived in Melbourne or Sydney certain things would be a lot
cheaper. I was impressed by this place. They had a lot of low cost stuff.
