Ichaidez, it's pretty much like in my first post a few things listed would be:

-Rebuild Kit which is pretty much the seals springs and you name it for the internals of the engine
-Gasket Set which is for the rest of the stuff external
-Lapping all four sides of the Side and Intermediate Housings
-Two new Turbo Housings (current ones are shot)
-Porting on the new housings (Exhaust and Intake)
-One "Very Good Used Rotor" as one of the Mazdatrix employees told me
-Main and Rotor Bearings

All that comes out to a ballpark figure of around $3k...

The rest of the rebuilding is being done by me.

Also anyone that has experience with Mazdatrix porting, when they quote me $290 for porting the Intake and $90 for porting the Exhaust, is that a street port or bridge port? I'm not too sure on the difference of the two, I'll go look that up. And exactly how much gain should I be looking at through just the porting? Maybe Higher RPM operation? I don't know...

O and another thing I bought the Engine Stand Adaptor so tack on another $100 for whoever is doing the math.

RX7Tuner.

For $290 Mazdatrix is going to give you a streetport. It isn't very aggressive but it will be a noticible difference over stock. They will enlarge all six of the intake ports. I forgot what year we are talking about but you should make about 15% more horsepower from a good streetport.
Your RPM operation will remain the same. Don't go over 8,000.
If you are going to assemble this motor by yourself I think you should pay the $20 and buy a rebuild video from either Mazdatrix or Rotary Avation.

Why are you using brand new rotor housings? I guess if you're will to pay an arm and a leg it's worth it but I bet half you rebuild costs are in those two housings.

The housings that came with the engine are shot to hell. It's been rebuilt once and whoever did the rebuild reused the original housings so there's a huge groove on them. So ultimately I'll have to replace two housings anyways and the price difference between the NA housings and Turbo housings are a mere $50 or so. Thus I figured might as well go with the Turbo housings and port it while it's all apart which means dropping about $300 more. All in all not that big of a dent compared to what I'm paying already just to get the engine in good running condition.

Hopefully with that extra 15% and whatever I decide to put into the car it'll be in great running condition when I'm done with it.
