ok i am a newbie i will admit and i am in the process of looking for an fd. from what i understand the engines with higher miles soon need to be rebuilt. i was jsut wondering how much a new engine costs...or... how much most of you spend on the rebuild, what consists of the rebuild such as apex seals and vacuum seals? any help would be greatly appreciated and i have searched

 

Typically a remanufactured engine will run you ~$2000-$2500. many guys here got their remans from Malloy Mazda in VA. The rx7store is also now selling remans (http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?0=368&1=371&3=737 ) for $2299 + $900 core charge (everyone charges a core charge). Try a search for "remanufactured" or "Malloy" and see what that gets you.

If you already have a core and you want it rebuilt there are several quality rotary shops that will do it. I've heard nothing but good things about Pineapple Racing (http://www.pineappleracing.com ) and they are less than 2 hours from me, so that's where I'll be taking my engine when it needs a rebuild. I have 90XXX miles on my original engine and it was still pulling strong when I burned the clutch out last month.

As for what a rebuild entails, it varys based on how many pieces your builder reuses, and it's really more involved than just a simple response would do justice.

i just had my engine rebuilt at Rotary Reliability and Racing. they are in santa ana. i don't know where you are in CA, but if you are in So. Cal, then i would recommend them. they have pretty good prices, compared to other shops around here. believe me, i looked. they are good people too...they won't sell you something you don't really need and they are straight up with you. they have a website as well. rotaryracing.com is what i think it is.
