If you do the work yourself, it can be done for pretty cheap. Probably about $400-$700 depending where you buy your parts from. You can buy rebuilt FC engine cores (with yours as an exachange) from many rotary shops, and those range about $1000-$1700.
Sorry to hear the engine went. Why did it go? Was it just that time (high mileage)?

If you popped the motor chances are you are going to need a new rotor + housing. So like 700$ for all the seals and crap, 650$ for new parts. Thats 1350$ doing it yourself Sucks huh.

There are no rotary shops around that are worth a crap (or any at all for that matter?). There are a few people in the area that can do motor rebuilds/swaps but it would be an out of a home garage and I am not sure they have the time at the moment. Your best bet is to order a rebuilt motor and swap them over, it will save you alot of time and heartache in the long run, or if time is not a problem then you may opt to rebuild it. It's up to you.

your closest bet would be to go to Tampa Mazsport. Great guy. yank out the engine yourself and make a day trip and take it to him. I would go with your own wter rings and oil control rings from Mcmasteror/ McCarr they would be way cheaper and save you over a $120 dollars. look at the single turbo page for more info.

My buddy GLHS bought a J-spec motor from that website I posted and it was in great condition, very clean and new looking. His car ran fucken great!
In Japan, they have a emissions over there where they have to replace their engines or get a new car when they hit 30,000 miles......if my buddy did get a used engine from the junkyard it was quick as **** and ran great. It spooled up so fucken quick compared to my TII.

Ryde or die: I know him, indeed. He raced me in a white RX Subaru. He has tried to race me in my 7 as well.
Billy, if you're still gonna rebuild her yourself, I was gonna ask.... give Danny a call, he rebuilds, too I believe. His name on the forum is P'cola FD.

I found a jspec motor with turbo and tranny for 880AUS. I was quoted $630CDN for a new housing and $225CDN for a rotor. Why would I not throw the Jspec in and when it goes use a housing and rotor from it to rebuild another one. Plus I'll get a stock turbo and a backup tranny if I might need them. The Jspec is a viable option for some people, dismissing the idea is what's foolish.
