Hi Rusty,

The first one is based on a REW.  This goes in the RX7 mule with 
a turbo and will be serially abused and get thrashed to within an 
inch of it's life. 

A mate of mine in Melbourne has a turbo single rotor in an under 
2L Sports Sedan tells me he's getting 247 kW from a tubo single 
rotor on 100 octane racing fuel. 

This might sound a bit insane to some.  However,  it's about right 
as most of the really tough 13B turbos in the drag cars up in the 
600 - 700 BHP range.  

One bloke I know in Meelbourne,  Grant Williams,  is getting 800 
on methanol,  about the same as Abel Ibarra and others in the US.  
there are also a couple of guys getting 1000 + BHP out of 3 rotor 
engines.  Sacry stuff! Anyone want to sponsor a Reno Racer???

Back to reality though,  with the Renesis,  I need to stick it in 
myown car,  see it with my own eyes, and have my own dyno 
sheets to prove it,  particulaly  as the Renesis is so new.

Additionally, I really need to do a some serious evaluation of that 
as well before I let it loose on fliers.  To this end,  we are currently 
negotiating with a local manufacturer of an ultralight to try one.  
We'll try an REW based single rotor  first though.  I KNOWN they 
don't break.  So stay tuned. Moe coming shortly.

Cheers,

Leon
