rebuilds

Hey, I was just wondering if rebuilds are ever as good as the stock engine that you get in your rx7? well it even last near as long ? What is a 24,000miles in km does anybody know ? Thx for helping!

Depends on the quality of the rebuild. One with new housings,properly lapped sideplates and all new seals and gaskets will last far longer than one with used housings, some new seals. You get what you pay for!!

There isn't anything wrong with my 300zx i my still keep it and get a rx7 too. My 300zx is faster then most rx7's around here i raced on yesterday and raped it but it looked bagged be hey want to race!!! I love my 300zx but i have always wanted a rx7 and i am going to get one!
Do you know what 24,000mile is in km ???
what is a comfortable amount of money to have to keep the rx7 going do you think cause i got about 6000 to spend and got to save some money for the 300zx. the rx7 gxl 88' i am look at $4000 is 2000 extra good enough? thx

Quality and reliability of the re-build is dependant on the parts used. When it comes to re-building a rotary the longest and most time consuming part is the checking of sizes, tolerances, and general condition. If some one does not pay attention to detail here then you might get a re-build that does not last long. I would make sure that the builder is careful in selecting parts that are in good working condition and within spec to insure a long running motor. The actual building of the motor is not that hard, its all about the prep, cleaning, and inspection time.

So would it be a good idea to buy rx7 that is fine but the motor is blown and getting a rebuild put in which i think maybe cheaper(would it be) ? Or get one that the motor is running but don't know for how long and really what condition it in ?? Does anybody know a Canadian site for rotary part and re-builds that are in canadian prices?? Thx for the help!

Dunno what you are looking for, but say it was a TII.

A good running TII (US Price) - 5k?

A good condition, non running TII (US Price) - $1k
Rebuilt Stock Engine - $2.5k

Its usually cheaper to get a non running one if you know the only thing wrong with it is the non running engine. But if you wanna be safe, get one that is running or has recently been rebuilt.

erm, you can find some good running tII's for around $3k-$6k
For a good condition non-running tII, about $1k-$2.5k depending on the mods and condition.
And you can always go bargain T2 hunting. I found a running (barely) turbo II for $500, but didn't get it in the end.
