Just saw this today:

Thanks. I'd been doing it the hard way looking through their full price list.

 

Saw the price of the thick housing?
The E-Shaft is the GURU one.
Plus I never knew the stock upper and lower intake manifolds were still available as new items. The price is pretty reasonable.
At least another source for some of the common parts needed without having to deal with Mazdacomp and their out of stock, have no clue when available answer most of the times.

 

Yep, prices are crazy. Tried adding up a list after I saw it

 

Good GOD...EXSPENSIVE!

Thick SIDE PLATE = $2564.00
After market "GURU"stock OEM type E-shaft= $3296.00

Lets see, buy 2 parts for $5860.00

or buy a complete low mile JSpec LONGBLOCK for $4500.00

Which makes more sense?

 

I think I would rather have the complete spare engine and numerous parts to sell of it.

 

True, so would I. Hopefully you'd never need to buy a new e-shaft or center housing

 

Yeah, problem is these are the 2 parts that tend to go bad in 20B motors... and without these parts you are screwed..

I have enough NEW NOS OEM Mazda 20B parts to assemble 2 complete shortblocks.. I am considering letting some of those parts go if anyone is interested????

 

Actually I might be, I'm beginning to give up on my custom twin turbo project because the fabricator is lagging and is putting other cars before my car which I've already paid before them.

 

encouraging, yet depressing at the same time ...

 

How much and what all comes with it?

 

In my experience, this is standard operating procedure. Every time my car goes into a shop - based on experience with 4 different shops) - it enters what I've come to call "The Samuels Automotive Time Distortion Zone." It's a weird an mysterious place where time comes to a screeching stop.

Part of the problem is that custom work is billed on actual hours worked. Standard maintenance and common conversions are billed on "book rates". Experienced mechanics can often beat the book rates, so they are reluctant to work for "only" their standard hourly rate. (One mechanic I talked with recently told me that his shop manager threatened to fire him for producing work at >only< 110% of the book rate.)
