if you want a new one and can install your self. i belive the Mazda dealer has them for ariund $600 bucks but that s a short block. no accssories.

Your ******* kidding me? Where I got quoted 2100

$600 won't even buy you a pair of rotors.

why are rotors and housings so expensive..is it the metal? the fine smoothness on the faces of the rotors + housings? i just dont understand 400 for a rotor..

Josepi

manufacturing, tooling, overhead, the list is endless of why they charge so much...

I know people have doubted reliability but www.corksport.com
or,
www.fc3s.org
www.mazdarecycling.com
www.mazda-dism.com
or best bet is to find someone in your area that could build you an engine

$600...I'll take a few of them. Just tell me where to buy'em.

There are good shop in NJ. I think there is one in Hackinsack.

BadBoy

i think some dealers will sell em that cheap if they have them in stock for a long time...most of the stuff i buy at my dealer i get a huge discount because its been laying there...but when its something they dont have that they need to S.O.P.(Special order parts) damn no discount and totally expensive!

Not a chance in hell of finding a new 13B for $600... It cost me $700 just for two housings! Hell, a frickin' rebuild kit is more than $600!!!

$899 13B turbo rotary engine from 87-88 Rx7
I copied that right from CorkySport and i think its jspec, i like 99% sure its not Brand new, but its newwer than my 153k mile 87 n/a that cant move

my car is going into shop this week, if it was possible for a car to have 100 problems, mine would have 102 of them, its a very unhappy car power train wise...

umm. i'm in NJ i can give you some help if you need it. if you want a reman its gonna be like $2100 + labor. most shops will charge around $3000 + hard parts to remove and rebuild & port and reinstall. housings are $$$$. my FD engine only cost like $4000 in parts but everything except rotors and eccentric shaft is new i'll send you a PM bom

I just had to call the Mazda dealer and find out how much they really are: $3000 + $1000 core. Now I'm sure thats a lot more than just a short block but it sure as hell ain't no $600.
