after i blew my motor the mazda dealer told me that it would cost $6000 for a new one $3000 of which is labor. i have replaced to couple of motors before. is the rotary hard enough to pay $3000 to have it put in? how hard is it to put in?

 

Depends on how much 3K is worth to you. If you are patient and meticulous in marking things, no sweat, if you aren't mechanically inclined then maybe not your cup of tea. It's not difficult, many forum members, myself included have installed their engines, and I myself have done over a dozen. (only 2 of my own). The nice thing about doing it yourself is you will learn far more than you ever imagined about the systems of the car, and you can inspect every piece for problems. I say go for it and put that other 3K towards making her faster!

 

We should sue Mazda dealers *** for ripping people off! God damn it, $3k just to put the damn thing in, $1k for a precat, $1k for an air pump etc. WTF

 

go sue them then. btw, why do you have that avatar? You don't even drive there that much

 

with that $6,000 you can have your whole engine rebuild with all reliable inners, 3mm seals, ported, and install. don't let the dealer do it man, if you let them do it minus well walk in the dealer with your pants off and stick your *** up high. Have you called A-Spectuning yet?? they've been swapping rotary engines in and out and have plenty of experience with rotarys. they are in Chicago. the # is 1-630-543-8890.

good luck.

 

Your dealer is screwing you over unless he is putting a NEW turbo and Reman engine or NEW engine (almost impossible to buy).

Local dealer quoted $3200 plus any accessory parts that are needed. This included removal and replacement of the engine with a Reman Engine. Accessory parts are gaskets, broken items, wiring problems, etc. that would creep up upon removal.
