CRH’s First Real Post
Well, I finally have a chance to post something so here it is;
I have a VERY busy couple of weeks coming up and the most notable work I will be doing involves building what will probably be one of the more “epic” street Renesis engines we have seen in a while in the RX8 community. Some of you may recall that I rebuilt my own engine a couple years ago and I had a good friend (“Rotarygod” from the RX8Club website) do a little mild porting work on it for me. That effort resulted in a little more midrange torque when the secondary/shutter valves open up.
The engine I am next building has a somewhat similar porting approach to it (performed by Rick’s Rotary in San Francisco, CA) except this build will also be sporting a set of NRS Ceramic apex seals (SpeedSource prepped the rotors for the seals), I will be custom gapping the side seals for F/I use, and the engine’s internal clearances are so good that I am calling it a “semi-blueprint” build. I am actually jealous of the guy who is getting this engine. Hopefully, his core return will be in equally good shape. We will be shooting video of the build process and I am sure the video will be posted on BHR’s own website, on YouTube, and the RX8Club website, as well.
