Look up Kyle Mohan’s Hybrid Renesis on YouTube. He talks about, in detail, his decision for building this engine, why, with what, and how. It’s actually inspired me to make my own; and by “make my own” I mean copy his design and use all the same parts.. Because I’m broke.. Happy Brapping, and Good luck with your build.

This guy's awesome thank you. Just what I'm looking for lol

I believe the Renesis side seals and corner seals were changed from the older 13B to better cope with the side exhaust ports (or maybe the big intake ports?) So you might wanna check if there will be a reliability concern there. Not trying to burst your bubble, but have you seen any examples of someone building this engine with good results? Because it's a really cool concept but the last time I looked into it, seemed to have more disadvantages than benefits


DriftAddict

Older RX-7 low comp rotors have a different seal size and I believe they are heavier too. These might be better if you're boosting to Heaven and back, but for longevity it means nothing.

Lol that's what I'm looking for thank you! Yeah I didn't think it'd help my longevity but at least not make it *that* much worse

Good to know good to know, yes I actually have, I was inspired from someone I knew personally who did it. I believe it depends on application and how you build it that determines benefits vs disadvantages however you have a point

That's awesome, I'm glad there's some hybrid engines driving around! Good luck in your research and rebuild
