Cant believe no one mentioned amemiya's shop in japan lol.

But if i had to say in the US, it would either be PFS or IR performance.

 

If it had to be serious work done, I would have Mr.Koseki from SCOOT or Mr.Kumaki from Top fuel racing do my whole motor. (at least for the type of stuff i like to do)

 

Myself unless you open up Japan as options

 

I would say Dave at KDROTARY

Max

 

Best motor rebuilder by far is Bruce Turrentine. Got my engine done several years ago and runs super well.

 

Ernst at RX7 World in N.C. built mine about a year ago. He seemed to be meticulous in his work. He isn't as well known as many on here, but his work and ethics are first rate. . . but a long way from San Diego!

 

RotaryResurrection.com, there really isnt anyone else I would trust to build the engines for all my FDs. There are plenty capable builders out there, however, few you can trust with a struggling economy and a market that is growing smaller by the day for these cars. Just too many horror stories of shops shutting down over the years. Dealing with Kevin@ rotary resurrection may not be for the faint of heart but you get great work every time.

Aw come on DJ.....after our cuddling on the couch, you don't trust me ?

 

The guy who owns this car.


I wonder if Rich does TII's.

or RotaryResurrection

 

I wasnt going to name everyone and I hope giving him props makes him put my engines in front of others You snore like a son of a though

 

Myself. I can't trust anyone else, I almost got a job at a tire shop that also does alignments for the only reason, that I could do it myself. I can't stand anyone touching my car. Did the motor thats in my current FD and its the strongest motor I've had out of all 9 RX-7s I've had....

If I wasn't able to do it myself. Mike Janousek He did a motor for me and I was extremely pleased by it. I would go to him again without any doubt.

 

Hard to believe nobody has mentioned Racing Beat, although I called a few years ago and was told they don't offer rebuild services. Still, they were (probably still are) pioneers when it comes to rotary engines in particular, it would be interesting to hear what they would put together if you handed them a big check and an empty engine bay.


There's a guy who goes by "Judge Ito" on another rotary forum, not sure where he works but it sounds like he's got a pretty good reputation as an engine builder. He posts all kinds of cool photos sometimes.


Also, Paul Yaw's website has some very interesting tech articles, I'd like to hear more about his work.

 

Dave at KDR is awesome.

If I still lived in the Mid-West; either Banzai or IR. Living here in CA, I'd have to say Mazdatrix hands down.

 

Ihor and Rich at IRP in Clifton, NJ. It doesn't matter where I live in the country, they are the ONLY people I'd trust to build my motors.

 

Mandeville Racing

 

Who has the dirt on Mazdatrix?

 

.

 

If I could have anyone rebuild my motor it would be Mr. Wankel himself, because how cool would that be? And I would have the most bragging rights on, and off, of this forum.

 

Julia Roberts !! The motor would never run.....but as long as I could watch who'd give a **** !




Bob ( UK )

 

Brian Hinson.

 

Actually, If I could get Jesus to rebuild my motor, Id be cranking "Jesus built my hotrod" like 24/7

 

Myself, for obvious reasons.

 

There are so many good builders scattered around the country... I cant believe that there have been so few mentions of people like Ray at PFS, Jim at JPRImports, Chris at Banzai, Sean and many others.. I know Ray and Jim have 9 second street cars running out of their shops....

 

I think anyone can build a 'regular' motor but when you start crossing 600HP that's when experience comes in. If I don't see any 600+HP / 9/10sec cars coming out of the shop that are running RELIABLY, then I would not go with them. I would chose the shops that have experience building high HP motors.

I would also go with a shop that can handle tuning. I think it's ideal to have the same shop that built your motor, tune your car. If the motor does blow because of a tuning issue, you don't want to be caught in the middle of a battle of the tuner blaming the builder or the builder blaming the tuner.

Lastly, choose a registered shop in the event something does not go the way it should, you can take them to court if needed. Backyard wanna be mechanics (like myself LOL) are great if you want to save money, but if you are paying TOP dollar, head to a registered shop.

So who would I chose? PICA motors baby!
