Turbocharged RX-8 engine teardown and rebuild

http://blackhaloracing.com/

With three days to pull the engine, rebuild it and reinstall, is Charles R Hill from Black Halo Racing (BHR) up to the task?! View the video to see what we find when the engine with 51,000 miles is pulled.

More details and photos of this rebuild can be seen at:

PS: I admit I didn't hold the camera stable enough for the first day of footage. Gave me a damn headache editing the footage.

@roaddiablo Of course you can add more rotors! They're called 20b (3 rotor) and 26b (4 rotor). People have made even larger versions, but the shaft that spins the rotors take more stress so the max rpm is lowered. Still, you can make 300 hp on a NA 20b, and 600+ hp with it turbocharged. The 26b is what won Mazda Le Mans.

Thanks for the video. So I take it that a stock Renesis rebuild will suffice for 300+ WHP turbo charged? My number 2 rotor blew an apex seal and I am planning the rebuild.

Also, what is the reason behind painting rebuilt engines a bright orange color? Thanks for your help!

what do you have to do to the rotors and cases before turboing? Or do you not really have to do anything.
