New FD engine. Who got them.
hey guys
I'm just curious to see how many people got the new FD engine. I know Mallow Mazda sold quite a number of them. These are new, not reman.
If anyone got one, please share how's that going. good / bad compare to rebuild and so on.
thx

I got the last one in existence, according to Ray @ Malloy. I bought it a few months ago. From what I understand, you can only get reman now.
I haven't fired it up yet, but for the price Ray was selling them for, I thought it was a no brainer. Look at my build thread in my signature for pictures of it.

We purchased several of them for different customers, opened all off them up to find the same things; lots of rust sludge and loose chunks of cast iron. There is another thread that addressed this issue. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...ngines-983731/

^If your buddy got an engine last month chances are it was a reman, not one of the all new engines. What I posted was pics from a new engine from Mazda Japan, not the reman facility in the US. We have opened countless remans, they have not been filled with water, so there is no rusty sludge. All the new engines, including the Renesis engines have all had the the same goop as above.
