go for it and write your results. im planning on this in the next few, and say your engine doesnt need a rebuild but you wanna rebuild it, do i need a whole bigass kit for like 1000 dollars or can i just buy what i need for cheaper

Doing a full rebuild is always recommended, but you can always open your engine, check what parts you need to replace and only replace those, if you happen to be on a budget.

Thermal reactor was Mazda's "early" solution to the "ultra high" HC problem
reason is that rotory's combustion are relatively long and narrow. lots of unburn(partial burned) fuel = high HC and high carbon monoxide
Thermal reactor is just a heavy duty chamber with fresh air injection so it allows the unburnt gas to "finish" burning.
I seen one of those in person recently, it weights like maybe 100 lbs or some crap. Think of it, its pure steel.

If I lived out in cali I would probably just throw one on my n/a every year or two(dont know what it is out there) to make smog easy. Thank god NC only requires "smog" on OBD-II vehicles =D

DLIDFIS is finally in! 
You can see 2 MSD Blaster 2 coils at the front, and the stock one near the engine.
The big heat-sink at the back is mated to 3 GM HEI ignitors.
