Gonzalo,
I don't know if the Renesis has a turbo = version, I=20 didn't think it did. All turbo 13B's require low compression=20 rotors.
You can put Renesis rotors into RX7's = but not the=20 other way around. The RX8 rotors are a high compression rotor, higher = than Rx7=20 rotors, the RX8 (Renesis) are 10:1 compression.
 
I guess you could use a turbo for = altitude=20 normalizing, but great care would have to used, I can't say I would = recommend=20 it.
Consider peripheral ported RX7 engine = with 44mm=20 inlets.

If=20 I chose and engine, a two rotor, which way do you think is better, the = 2004=20 renesis for example (I saw one in eBay) or the 89-91 or 93-95 as you = said? Can=20 the =93modern=94 renesis be use with a turbo?
