ATK Engines rebuilt and ported my motor. I just recently sold the car, and it had about 25,000 on the rebuild and was running strong as ever.

Who is the best at rebuilding a 1993-1995 13B? At a decent price? Mine 13B has no compression and want someone professional to get it rebuild and ported. Websites? Contact?

I built my own as I have always done for the past 25 years...My latest motor has 60,000 plus miles ~400 rwhp. My last engine in my personal car I sold is still going strong with 133,000. If you get a shop to build your engine ask questions.

1) How many engines have they built and how long have they been around?

2) Where did they learn to build and what types of engines and year cars have they done? There is a multitude of variables between engines and there are many, many "tricks" of the trade. They make a big difference in engine longevity and power.

3) There's no substitute for experience and also a good name.

This guy above me built mine. I have had motors built by 4 different people for my customers cars...when I used to work on FD's. I don't have the time anymore. But I have to say- the MOTOR BUILT BY CHRIS was the HIGHEST QUALITY I have ever seen. Any monkey can assemble a rotary, and most will last an amazing 13000 miles. When Chris receives my motors, he always calls and tell me exactly what needs to be replaced- right down to every single small spring, as well as bolts that have too much stretch to them. For the price I thought he was too good to be true, however, his rebuilds are the only ones I have never had problems with. Many rebuilders DO NOT replace the small parts that he does. They just slap together a rotary on top of a 5 gal. white pickle pail. Many builders do not have the contacts(mazda factory engineers), that he does, and many builders won't spend hours on the phone telling you about every little detail of you motor. I can't say enough about this guy. He talked me into getting NRS ceramic seals, and then built the motor that has stock seal compression numbers. If he didn't talk me into these seals I would have blown my motor 5 times already. I am not exagerrating, as I had APexi BNR fuel pump problems and was running lean at 18 pounds of boost, then shutting off, and then turning on again.....All I can say thank God for Chris. There are literally hundreds of motors built by him out there and he never receives credit for doing the highest quality work I have ever seen. Do a little digging and you'd be surprised at whose motors he has ported and rebuilt. Some of his customers are active suppliers on this forum. No one can compete with him as far as I am concerned.

Chris (mr rx 7 tt) built mine from a Mazda reman. Took a perfectly good new rebuild, tore it down, ported it, did his other cool improvements, rebuilt it...and it is going friggin' STRONGER every day, with about 4000 miles on it.

There are a just a handful of rotary experts, and I consider Chris at the top of the list.
