well to give ya a base, its almost 1k labor from the more experienced shops (Pettit, KDR, RotorSports), while Mazda will charge anywhere from 2-3k for labor.

Average price around the states for a reman is 2200, with Malloy having the lowest price at around 1900. Figure 400-ish for a port job, and 100 or so for various belts, hoses, fluids, etc. just as twntrbo said, 3-5 is the average.

try not to just get a mazda reman motor, but rather a motor from an fd tuner, like pettit. these are much better. u would most likely just have yours rebuilt and put back in = 4000$, just make sure you take care of the new one and itll last 4 ever.

3-5K is a good estimate.

If you do it right here is a breakdown. I might forget something but you get the idea.

$500 clutch
$150 new water and heater hoses
$100 clean injectors
$50 new plugs and wires
$40 new fuel filter
$35 new belts
$600-1000 rebuild turbos
~$2000-3000 rebuilt motor (depends on source and
mods)
$150 misc gaskets
$100 silicone vacuum hose job

$3500-$7000+. Some stuff usually breaks (solenoids) or needs replacing (motor mounts) so the total ends up being more than just the price of a rebuilt engine and installation. If you get a good shop to rebuild your engine and you want new housings and rotors, porting, etc. the bill adds up quickly. There are more than $5000 worth of parts in an engine if you need/want to get a lot of new stuff. The rpice depends a lot on how **** you want to be with the rebuild.

lmao, my fave, get the fulll rebuild with new rotors, housings, and what not. . . . 3 days later the car overheats bc of a clogged STOCK radiator always a fear of mine. make sure to throw in a price of a Fluidyne or a Koyo, so you wont waste your new investment. Or at least have the coolant system flushed, just for a lil bit of added insurance.

I KNEW I'd forget something important.

RedR1 is 110% right. Get a new rad or at least check the condition of the stocker (looks good and you have a temp gauge).

definately closer to the real price.....also, the minute you start adding other parts in, the quicker the price goes up. some shops like pettit, DO NOT include miscellaneous parts in a rebuild. i found this out first hand. like if you need a new rotor, add on 800, new housing, add on 550 each..........other goodies like hurley apex seals,,,,,yep,,,,,,even mo' chedda.......like max said motor mount is also most likely to be on the list as well....they are notorious for being shot.....then there is the harness.......it most likely has some brittle areas in it, and may need replacing all together.......the list can get even longer.....
