Having said all that; I’d say the 20B is obsolete.  Start fresh with the new RX8 Renesis.

 
 
Al,
 
    Thanks very much for taking the time to answer my questions!  I'm curious as to why you suggest the Renesis engine?  What things are improved w/ this new engine? I'm wondering though, if cost wouldn't out-way the incentive because you would have to buy a new engine from Mazda? Compared to the price of a 20B engine?  I tried looking up info on this new engine on Google and didn't really get anywhere and I wondering if you have other sources?  Do you know even ruffly the improvements a person could expect over the 20B?weights?Power?  If you had to do this all over again, what changes would you make? Would you still go w/ the 20B, Renesis? or something else? If you don't mind me asking [ just tell you you'd rather not say]  How much do you have into your 20B install? How is the price of the Catto prop compared to say and IVO Magnum?   Is your 20B install a normal breather or a turbo'd version?
 
Thanks very much for all your help!  I'm working on my own design and I can literally build the airframe to suite the engine or the other way around, but before I do I need to get all the facts I can!
 
Again, thanks very much!
 
Jarrett Johnson
