Rotarywarehouse

Does anyone have any experience with them and their motors?

With this new job I might be landing I'm considering their stage 3 13b turbo II. It's $2,000 built for me. All I'd do is the install.

Has anyone worked with them before?

I'm contemplating finding a junkyard TurboII and doing all of the work myself but it would be so simple to drop a pre-build motor in.

Whatcha think?

look up Kevin Landers at Rotary Resurrection, he is closer to you and can build one for cheaper.

Yea, at the same time having someone else build your engine takes a lot of the fun out of it. I think I might find a junkyard motor or at least a running untuned TII, throw it on a rack and spend a few months building it up and fine tuning it. Then I can say I built it myself and the car is my build. It will most likely be cheaper too.

Ya, you would get a lot out of rebuilding it yourself, but i don't know how to and i don't want to take the chance.

This site, the people here, and the rx7club people that live near you will make sure you are well taken care of.

I'm going to start searching for FC TII engines, trannies, gas tanks, ECU's, harnesses, and all sorts of other parts. I want to build the longblock on the stand piece by piece and have it completely ready to go into my car. Could take a little while but I'm up for it. Till then I'll buy a clean running 12a to replace the piece that's in it right now. That way I can take the piece in it now and rebuild that as well. Maybe sell or find a rolling shell to make an autocross car or even another street FB that is still 12a powered.
