hey guys.. need some help.. i just saved my Rx7 from a junkyard with a blown motor. and i don't know how you rebuild it. so my ? is when rebuilding this motor is it like anyother engine or is there a certain way that it has to go? also where can i get a rebuild kit from. i found a kit from www.mazdatrix.com for $310.00 and another one from an airplain company for $1000. is there a certain why one i should get.. I DONT KNOW anything about these cars. the last one that i had i was in high school and just drove it (it was an 85)but that was when i was young a dumb.

anyways.. how do i go about fixing this motor (13B turbo)

 

There's rebuild videos you can buy.

Welcome to the club.

 

There are several rebuild kits you can find on the internet. You should order new soft seals and a set of hard seals to start. Depending how bad the compression is on the thing, you might have thrown a seal that ripped up the rotor housing and rotor.

They have a specific way to get rebuilt and as it was said, you can get a video on it. If you go to the FAQ at the top, there should be a link to a download of the factory service manual which will tell you how to do the build as well as the specs it can have for tollerances. Hope that sets you up pretty well. Welcome.

 

so..i guess i need to wait untill i pull this thing apart before i can tell what kind of rebuild i need to get.

 

Your best bet would be to rebuild it by going to www.rotaryressurection.com and talk to Kevin Landers.
