no, the word RENESIS is a block and the name was added to show the redesign. The porting is just one of a few of the Renesis attributes. Change any little thing on the block, and it's a different redesign stage, a post renesis improvement. You could call it the RENESIS II if you wanted, because it bases improvements from the RENESIS redesign and carries them further, but it continues where the RENESIS left off and has a few changes, differen rotors entirely, harder stationary gears, probably different seals, being 20B shows us that they both are based off the 13B design, but you don't call a RENESIS a 13B even though it says 13B stamped on the housings(which it does) so you don't call the R20B a RENESIS, oyu call it the R20B, as it is THE engines name, the word RENESIS is a name, not an engine type. It's no different than RB26DET only RENESIS sounds nicer cause it happens to pronounce soemthing. If you want to call it the RENESIS though, you still can, it's just implying that the Rx-8 block is in there, as it is in the Rx-8.
