Ouch if the turbo thing is true it will suck
yeah, its true... at the last tokyo auto-salon showing, they had a Renesys engine bisected into quarters for display purposes along w/ some engineers... we started grilling them immidiately about the intake port configuration, as it is solid cast and literally part of the actual block..! it doesn't come off, ever. i guess you could take a bare block into a machine shop and hack the intake section out, and then fab your own replacement... but the rotor housings themselves have changed shape to accomadate the shortened intake ports, so force-feeding just isn't going to be as effective as we are used to on the earlier 7's... no Haltech E6K fuel goodness, no massive single turbos... i'm truly depressed about the whole thing, if you cant tell..
