a 90' rx7 turbo 2

but the seller has a bad engine
it will get home, but won't last.

anybody have nice links to stores, techs, howto's
to places for engine swaps.

thanks alot...
new to the rx7 switching from hundah! hahaha

 

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..

 

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

 

www.pineappleracing.com is a good place. i got my 91 n/a from rob. i was very impressed with his quality...now if i could just get it to pass smog....

$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.

 

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!

for a BRAND NEW short block i was quoted 5400 from mazda.......

 

also check www.thepartstrader.com
might find some help there as well

 

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.
