i live in san jose CA and i only know of one place that will rebuild my motor. he told me that it would cost around 5000. thats way more then i want to spend. i was hopping to get a good streetport with 3mm apex seals for no more than about 3000. do you guys know anyone that can help?thanks

 

mabey you should post this in the regional section

 

I recommend Kevin Landers of Rotary Resurection.com

Even with shipping Kevin's rebuild would probably be less than your quotes, but check with him to be sure.

 

alot of people seem to be happy with kevin landers work and for his prices you cant beat it. im planning on sending my engine to him when it goes.

 

Would this guy be able to take your engine and do whatever has to be done to make it like a Turbo2?
(I have an 88 GXL...I believe thats the 6port 13b)

 

 

i had him do a rebuild in nov/dec, has 1400 miles and running strong.....id definitely recommend rotary resurrection to anyone, and me personally...there's no doubt thats the only place id ever take my car....

he's honest, very up front about everything and the prices are unbeatable.

 

don't forget about me. i learned from kevin and am also thinking about starting rebuilding motors for other people at a fair price. located in kingsport tn.

 

I live in the Bay Area,over near San Rafael (94904) and theres a shop around here which will work on RX-7's you might give them a call.. Its a bit far of a distance for you but might save you some cash still.. Ill post the phone number for you tomorrow when I find it, its somewhere in car. Its called Bextrum (sp) automotive... something like that. Eh, its worth a shot. Its only an hour or so from San Jose.

 

cool thanks

 

Found it:

BECKSTROM AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE
70 WOODLAND AVE STE B, SAN RAFAEL, CA 94901
Phone: (415) 457- 6050

Not sure if they will do it, but I know they will touch RX-7's.

 

I'm going to send Kevin my engine hopefully this week.

He mentions he is good at making normal engines.
He probably could make a 13bt out of your 6 port NA but that's an odd and bad mix unless you change everything in the engine like 4 port and go with lower comp rotors. By then you could have just bought a 4 port TII engine.

 

Do the rebuild yourself and learn

 

The best way to go.

Yeah but then you don't have a warrantee and you run the chance of screwing up.

I'm going to learn eventually but I can't afford to screw that up on my daily driver.
