I know Carlos very well, have done over $10,000 worth of business with him.. Trust me, if he has spare perfect condition 20B housings, they are worth more than scrap value... pm him yourself to see if he did decide to sell some off, what he would want for them... Scrap value, I DONT THINK SO.........



If the above comment from you is directed towards me.. then again.. I advise you to do your HOMEWORK before you open your MOUTH here....


For your information, I have actually manufactured a few items... that, "support the rotary engine community " as you put it.. And I have the lowest/Best price in North America on BRAND NEW OEM mazda engine internals... I challenge you to find an advertised legit price on any BRAND NEW OEM Mazda engine internal part that is lower than what I can sell the same part for.....


You probally did not realize it because, the items I have manufactured are being offered for sale thru other vendors.. not myself...yet have been manufactured by me..


Lastly, this comment by you is just stupidity..


"while other vendors have no skills to make an honest living so they make their money primarily by simply hyping-up used parts and inflating the market to their advantage"

You know absolutely nothing about me.. So the above comment is not only stupid, it is utterly ridiculous... In the future, you might consider taking a second thought about posting stuff thats unsubstantiated... You know nothing about me... The used auto parts business has been around for longer than I have been alive...and it would be a miraculous accomplishment if one person/ company could singlehandedly inflate the market to thier advantage... Its not possible...

From what I've seen, the exhaust port inserts are much different, and two tension bolt holes are of a larger diameter then the rest to accommodate the two 12mm studs. I'm not sure what the difference it between the front housing and the other two (centre and rear) though.

Just for people to know.
I sell the S5 Rotor housings which are excellent for FD or 20B with the annoying exhaust sleeve, S5 rotor housings have a normal exhaust sleeve.

I think im the cheapest around for these housings(i think)..

Sorry, but you're not the cheapest.
AU$555 = just a rad under US$500
I assume this is not shipped price, especially to the USA?

RHDJapan has them at $505 shipped to the USA.

Correction: Japan2la can sell for lower. I have confirmed it on just about every Brand NEW engine internal part. fC3S or FD3S it does not matter... As soon as IB gets the vendor pricing figured out you will all see.. I will start offering New engine internals F.S. and I doubt/challenge any other vendor/supplier to beat my prices.. Stay tuned

I asked because he came in here claiming the lowest price.. He quoted me $1255.00 delivered for a pair.. Mazdatrix has them for $1144.00 a pair. Mazdacomp is lower than that and I can beat all of those prices.. Wanted to confirm that I still have the lowest price...and I do....

Not really sure what your post is trying to say??? Maybe you can explain?

Mazda Japan does not have any 20B rotor housings available... I have been checking monthly for over a year.. There are some available here in the USA thru Mazdacomp. Mazdacomp shows inventory of the middle and rear housing only...back order on the front..

None of this really matters as you can use any 1986-up housings on a 20B with very minor modifications...
