Need New Engine
OK guys heres the story.
I bought a car from a kid in Texas and he told me the turbos were out on the car. So I asked what happened. He said that one day he was driving around and all of a sudden no boost. So he shut the car off and towed it home. I asked if anything was wrong with the engine and he said no. He said he had the engine and turbos rebuilt about 20 K ago. He then said that he had a compression test and both rotors were good.
So I bought the car and planned on putting a single turbo on it. So I got the car put a XS single on it PFC, fuel pump, 1300cc injectors, AVC-R, and a lot of other goodies. Then I was ready to go I did a fast compression test and it only had about 20 psi in the rear rotor. So I read on the internet that if a car has sat for a while the seals might have relaxed so I did the ATF trick and nothing. So I did a compression test on the front rotor and it had about 90 psi. So I spoke to a guy at Rotary Performance and he said that the seals are gone. So he said to buy a new engine through the Mazda dealer.
But do you guys know another place to buy a new engine what might be cheaper. The Mazda dealer can get me one for about $2200 . Any advice would be appreciated.
