when i was there a few months ago to get my car tuned, they had several motors and parts laying around. i asked what was up, and i was informed that they are indeed rebuilding them. if i'm not mistaken, jason is running a motor they built in his car. don't quote me on that tho

*Raises hand* Running one here!

They have about 6 motors in the shop to build currently, and are working 7 days a week to keep up. I'm sure your patience will be rewarded.

Mine is there right now and been there for i would say a month or so. I have called and talked to them they are very helpful people. They told me that they had around 10 motors they were working on at the time. It also took them some time to order the rotor housing and they also had to order me a front new rotor. I talked to them yesterday and they told me they should have it done this week. And yes Jason is running a stage 3 in his car. that is what it says on his website. i cant wait to get the engine in I got the stage 3 what stage did you go with?

Did a custom race-port, along with some other porting and polishing.

The kills were all at low boost ( 12psi ), Tuning for 15 psi by the end of the month. I'll keep you upated! hehe!

Sorry for any delays on peoples motors. We have had to wait on parts that have held alot of these up, plus our daily schedule of service work has been heavy. We are working on a bunch of them now and should have most of them completed by next week sometime.

I may be having my motor built along with a single turbo set up at rx7 store aswell. Jason tuned my car and my friends car. We drove there from Toronto!
He is very professional about his work.

Most parts are on back order, because i have been waiting for my intercooler for a few weeks too.

I guess it will be there soon
