number of New crate Engines
 

Hi guys

According to our Mazda dealers here in Australia the total amount of Mazda FD RX7 Crate engines left is 6 ..... 3 in New Zealand and 3 in Japan .


I was lucky enough to get my hands on one from New zealand they dont come cheap anymore just under $9000 .:(

you.are.nuts

9k for a pported 3 rotor.... ok

how much does a fresh rebuild usually go for say all new seals and bearings more of a refresh

$9k for a stock motor... probably has the 3 piece seals still also, not to mention 20 year old original coolant seals(rubber).

I got the last new one from Malloy here in America. First order of business was breaking it apart for a rebuild with stronger seals, higher compression rotors, a street port, and stronger tension bolts (Elliot's kit).

I got one of the last new motors also. IRP pulled it apart for porting. Quite nice.

Aye, I was especially pleased considering my last engine looked like this:

Attachment 683760

And the previous builder claimed it was all "well within" Mazda specifications... :scratch: (and yes, those are two gouge marks in my iron.. no idea how they got there but this pic was taken less than 1,500 miles after a rebuild)


I'll take this:

Attachment 683761


Over that:

Attachment 683762

Any day of the week!
