i got my TII motor from them and have ran 300+whp through it for over 2 years now, its still goin strong "knock on wood"

there page is just generic pictures i think, its probably best to talk to them see what kind off goodies they have sitting around

I bought a s4 13-BT from a company in Canada for $1,400 shipped. I forget the name of the company, but I do remember that I was very unpleased. Like many people that buy engines this way, it was blown. I had it rebuilt and ended up spending WAY more money than I had intended.

You'd be better off buying one from a member here on the forum. With engines that are imported, it's "hit" or "miss". In my case, miss... But I have heard of most cases being this way.

try the BC Rotary Forum @ www.bcrotary.com
I think there is a guy called Eunos (maybe www.eunos.ca or DOT com)..they deal in rotary engines .
or Try a Buddy I know..Travis..@ t_virus11@hotmail.com .he is in BC.
Tell him that STYX gave you the Email addy and ask him If he knows any Good Engine People around..I am sure he does.

Check with Staff's in vancouver on the swap. But think about it, $3000/engine + swap + ecu, etc etc....why not leap into a RHD FD instead?
