What's up everyone. I'm new here, and I just got a 91 convertible. The only problem is that is has a blown engine. I was wondering, where is the best place to get a good, reliable (warranteed), performance motor? I've been looking at www.mazdarotaryengines.com and they seem good, but I was really looking for a little more performance right out of the box, but the main concern is reliability, as it will be my daily driver. Any help for a newbie will be greatly appreciated...

 

nippon-motors has the longest warrenty that ive seen, its not a rebuild, its an import and costs less than 1k

for Good / Reliable / Warrented moter, i think Pinnaple racing is the only real combo of thoes i can think of

 

Thanks for the response man. I just checked out the pineapple racing website and the engines look good. Also, the 5y/60k warrantee is the best i've seen. Anyone else heard anything about Pineapple Racing, good or bad? Any better companies to pick up a good/reliable performance motor for my 91 vert? Thanks again.

 

My Pineapple /racing engine is on a truck to me right now.

 

That's cool man. Which did you get...any performance options? I was looking at the large street port, does anyone know how much hp that engine will push? I guess I have some calls to make on monday. Thanks again for the help.

 

I'm pleased with my engine from Pineapple Racing. It had a bit of trouble starting at first, but seems to running like a champ now.

As for performance options, theres a whole bunch of them. I'm not sure how much HP a large streetport would be, I think Rob at Pineapple said the small would gain about 20hp. Just ask Rob, he'll answer anything you want to know.

 

momar, what kind of problems did you have starting it? Were they due to the engine itself, or due to the installation? I just don't want to have any major problems installing it. I need this thing to be reliable...

 

Since when are J-specs NA?

The hard starting on a rebuild is pretty much normal till they get broken in. The compression will start out low and build up after the break-in miles.

 

you can impport a Jspec s4 or s5 na

what, do you think they have no n/a's in japan land?

 

Mel...

They don't. Not a single RX-7 in J-town is NA.

?? so they dont have n/a's in japan

 

Thought I just said that.



No, they don't. FCs anyway.

PaulC

 

ok, at first i was "ok, so im wrong" but now

to the "they dont have fc's"

So if there are NO fc's in japan land, how is Soul assasins FC in japan, is there somethign im mising?

are there no verts in japan land? or are all verts turbo there, im not ranting, just aksing

and so all the jspec import companys that say S4 13B, are they not from japan?

now im damn confsued

 

ok, you need to read some more.

I said. No, they don't. FC's anyway. Meaning, NO NA FCs.

THey have PLENTY Of turbo FCs.

Sure, but those S4 13Bs are turbo 4 port motors. And all the verts there are turbo. sweet, huh

PaulC

 

Reallyyy

damn, i want to move to japan land

 

I have a pineapple engine in my 90 n/a. Thing runs great....even how hard i drive it. Would'nt go anywhere else than pineapple. Rob is the man. CJ

 

Dont get a motor from Mazda Recyclers in California (Rancho Cordoba) They assembled mine wrong and wont take it back..

 

Thanks for the info guys...Seems like I'm hearing a lot of good things about Pineapple Racing, so I think I'm gonna go with them. I just have to give Rob a call and ask a few questions. In the meantime, if anyone has any more info/reviews/advice, I'd appreciate it. I'll keep everyone updated.
