Rebuilt Engine and Power FC? Good Deal?
Alright, my budjet is $4700. And I've shopped around, checking the prices on different rotary sites, and calling around.
This is what I've come up with, so far it seems like the best deal, but I just want some personal opinions.
This place uses new rotor housings.
13BREW-TT Engine
Street Ported
3mm Double Spring Custom Apex Seals
Oil Mod
Full Gasket Kit
Apexi Power FC & Commander
Shipped
12mo/24k Warranty
Now, the engine in my 7 now (which has a blown seal) was most likely rebuilt by Mazda on it's first rebuild. Which means it only has 36k on the rebuild. I rather use my 36k core, than one of their 100k+ cores. If it is a mazda rebuild it will have new rotor housings, or at least one of them will be. If I have my engine rebuilt, I could save another $900-$1200
Making my price around $3800-$4100
Sound like a good deal?
Lemme know!
Thx

Call Rob at Pineapple 530-233-3878 or Jason at the rx-7 store.
He uses new housings and a stock rebuild is 2495.00 with a 5 yr warranty.
You may not want 3mm seals unless the rotors are warn and need to be milled

Mazda lists 1 housing for 656 so dealer must be like 450 each (low guess). Pineapple will take the 900.00 off if you want to use your old housings so a Pineapple rebuild would be 1595.00.
What do you do for the 1800.00?
Not that I would EVER take the time, labor, and money to take the motor out, ship, reinstall with all new hoses, lines, and seals WITHOUT using new housings
