I am just trying to imagine what kind of power a turbocharged RENESIS engine is gonna produce... Let's do some figures shall we.

Assuming just for comparison sake the 13B-REW(Twin Turbo 3rd gen version) and the 1991 13B is the addition of turbos then we can also inherantly assume the following:

Naturally Aspirated 13B: 160 HP
Turbo 13B: 255 Hp

According to this comparison the turbo increases the power output of the engine by approximately 59.375%

Naturally Aspirated RENESIS 13B: 250 HP

Projected APPROX. Turbo RENESIS 13B: 398 HP

Of course this is just by using the same percentage of power increase that was achieved in the 13B-REW. These numbers are only validated by the math i used to accomplish them. If anybody knows a better way to guesstimate the potential power output of this amazing new little rotary wonder, feel free to let me know. That would be insane to have a a little 1.3liter engine come rolling off the factory line with close to 400 HP. This probably isnt realistic as it will probably only have a little over 300 hp due to likely problems the car would face in having that much power stock...who knows.
