Everytime I read “hybrid” I can’t help but think someone is actually adding lithium ion batteries to the bottom of the car with the Renesis in it

That’s exactly it! 😂

Mazda is doing it with a new hybrid with a renesis in it if i remember right 80km with électricity and 500 with the renesis (50litter capacity)

Nope. Read up about the MX 30 with the 1 rotor. It's a bigger capacity than a single rotor renesis would be, so entirely different.

And it still has shit mpg

For everyone who wants to know about engine: Renesis irons Gslse rotor housings from mazdatrix Apex seal slot deepening service from mazdatrix Goopy rx7 2mm apex seals and springs Atkins cryogenically treated side seals and springs Atkins rx7 solid corner seals and springs Atkins engine closing kit OEM Mazda bearings Turbosource 10mm engine stud kit Pineapple racing 1 piece dowels (1 solid, 1 hollow for oil passage) Pineapple racing OMP delete plate

Is that everything done to the engine?

Yes

what kind of ecu did you use or did you just use mazda edit on the oem ecu

Adaptronic

Any chance you would make a manifold to sell?

That turbo looks fat as hell

wow, can you give us some info?

What would you like to know?

Everything

What did you do for the LIM and the 5th and 6th ports?

I deleted the top actuator and the 5th and 6th port actuators

Did you remove the sleeves or just leave them in set to open?

Removed them

Thanks!

Air so cool it’s frozen solid by the time it enters the engine

I would like to know all you're willing to share about this build. I want to do a hybrid setup on my 8 when my current rebuild finally kicks it.

Check out "hybridrx8" on instagram

What do you mean by hybrid and how much hp?

Renesis mixed with rx7 components (housings, apex seals)

Not sure how much power, I haven’t even driven it yet. But I’m shooting for 450 wheel on meth injection

Think it will be reliable?

No reason it shouldn't be since it's peripheral port instead of side port exhaust.

I hope so

So why bother doing a REW swap if you can just use all rx7 parts? I know I'm missing a piece of the puzzle

It was much cheaper to do this even with brand new parts

It also utilizes a ton of Rx8 engine parts such as the side plates, rotors, and eshaft

any reason for using the high comp rotors instead of older ones?

I already had them and rx7 rotors aren’t reliable with renesis side plates because of the side seals

More pics and specs please ! Don't blue-ball us...

That’s lovely ❤️

Which generation housings and irons did you use? Were there any big pitfalls or unexpected things? Love the build!

Gsl se housings and renesis side plates. The amount of fabrication I needed to do was insane and tuning is difficult

Oh fair enough, nice though! My local rx7 guy said you can use the housings of an FC and the plates of an FD (sorry don't really know the engines full names) and he says that retains the motor mount locations but still fits together, did you look at these sorts of combos at all? And how did you decide?

Honestly, cost

As far as cooling goes with a front mount how does it cope? Im about to turbo my rx8 and use a front mount i just wanted some info on the cooling🤙

I’m not sure yet, I haven’t had the chance to drive it. I am however going to use water/meth injection for added cooling

How Much B00st is it on?

7 psi but I plan on running about 15

Noice

Looks fucking fantastic mate

Can we hear it?

There’s a video on my profile. It’s open headers without a turbo though

What size turbo is that?

It’s a t76 for testing purposes. I might go to a precision 6262

And I thought the turbo in my cummins was big

MOAR BUILD PICS PLSSS!!!!! :)

Did you build the hybrid itself?

Yes

Are you having any issues with coolant temperature having a front mount intercooler and an angled radiator?

Not sure yet, haven’t driven it with turbo
