Artguy: Was that $3800-$4800 you were quoted just for the motor (w/core charge) or the motor and replacement. Mazda dealers up in the bay area are asking more in the $2300-$2500 range for the motor (w/o core charge).
BTW, I retract my statement about the 3mm seals not withstanding detonation that much better. But then again, you've got the ceramics and not "standard" 3mm seals. Hopefully, most people won't have the tuning nightmares you did.
No tunes by mail. Ever. I have learned from your example.
BTW, you're dynoing the new twins pretty soon right. How do they feel now that you've got them tuned fairly well?

damn these engines. I'm going to sell mine before it hits 65K.
Good luck on your rebuild.

You should have the motor you blew taken apart and see what you can salvage. Remember you blow a seal you could...
Scratch a housing
Scratch a rotor
Screw up your turbos....
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but there may be worse things done to your motor.

your car will wake up with a streetport. but you will need more fuel to really feel the difference. its a must...you wanna beat those supras or lose to em...simple as that.
yeah...Ill dyno the twins soon...am waiting on some parts...as soon as everything is in Im tuning for high boost and hitting the dyno.
j
rynberg...i dunno...i asked what they were chargin for a reman and they said 4800 bucks...call aneheim mazda...just for a good laugh...ask for a price quote.
its worth a laugh if you are in the mood to tell someone to **** off.

Good luck with the final parts, tuning, and dyno run, I'm curious as to how it will turn out.

well the first difference would be that the renesis has huge ports...less backpressure and no low end at all....no thanks in that department. thats why they have the rev limiter set so high...cuz it doesnt do jack down low.
Ill keep my low end.
a streetport is as big of a port as I would want for city driving.

i'd get a reman, return your core and then rebuild/port your reman motor. It'll end up being around 4K or so. WHy exactly did your motor blow? Too little fuel? cold night?
