hey guys im looking somebody who can rebuild and port my engine for me... does any body know who can do a rebuild and porting in alberta? mainly looking for the mid to southern alberta? and how much does the rebuild and porting usually cost?

 

what year and model engine??

 

my car is a jdm 88 tII

 

not to thread jack but add me to the list.. have an s4 N/A 6 port id like to port out. calgary

 

If you guys are willing to ship the motors to Ontario, I can do any kind of porting you need, right from mild streetports to peripheral ports. The rebuild kits costs $1000 Cdn to get a short block put together with new seals, gaskets, springs and o-rings.
Pm me if you want any other pricing, our website is down while we move to the new location.

 

RX-7 Specialties in Calgary.

 

A.B.A (Anybody But Adam) I suggest a search of RX-7 Specialties before you go any further.

 

Adam @ rx7 Specialties will build u an strong motor.....dont believe the bullshit of the 4 guys who dont like his work......call it jelousy???.....he gets a bad rapp from having to fix there backyard butcher work.......and they want it done with used parts.......so no wonder they are unsatisfied with the end result.......u get what u pay for.......
Adam backs all his rebuilds with a 1 yr warranty......so u cant go wrong with that......if u want a see a strong fd.........that adam build.......i suggest u come check out mine.

 

There is also Conroy up here in Edmonton. He does a ton of rebuilds. He is quite busy though.

Yeah, I'm pretty jealous how he could just butcher up my car and told me to fix it myself after i paid him. An good engine builder wouldn't use parts for an engine that were out of spec. If i wanted to use apex seals made out of plastic should Adam build it and charge for it in full? From what i know you are also mixing up whether it is the customers or Adam that wants it done with used parts. A 1 year warranty is misleading. I wouldn't care how long my engine lasts if it still makes crappy compression.

 

Ahahahhahahaha that was hilarious!!!!

So that's what Adam has turned to? Interesting.

I see Adam has gotten in your ear. Well your not the first. I love watching this pan out. Let me make a quick prediction based on prior experience. Because we've been down this road before OK. You'll defend Adam because you have an Adam motor, and you get your work done there, so you have to otherwise your admitting you've been ripped off and have a poorly built motor, understandable. So two things will happen, they always do. 1) You'll find through your own personal investigation that just about everything that comes out of Adams mouth is a lie (this includes everything he say's about "the 4") you'll catch Adam lying too you and finding that claims he makes about all kind of things, engines, porting, people, it's all a big load. Or 2) Something will go wrong with your engine or car, Adam will not honor the warranty, or he'll claim some bogus cause for engine failure, and assuming your smart enough to either rip the motor down yourself or be there when he does, you'll find the cause most likey is his poor engine building. When either one of those things occurrs and I have complete faith they will, you will most likey disappear from this forum, or at least become alot more quite when the topic of Adam and RX-7 Specialties comes up. Anybody who's been around for awhile care to chime in? We've all seen it before.

Oh and on a side note Adam has NEVER repaired any of our "backyard butchery" Mostly because nothing gets butchered in my back yard, and also because we only work on eachothers cars. There ya go that's the first lie Adam fed ya, believe me there's plenty more, you'll find them in time, people always do.

 

I agree. Preach it brother. In the end its your money and if you want to spend it there thats totally up to you but you have been warned. Take caution.

*sigh* Again I have to post on here that I have an engine built by Adam, about three years ago, with about 55000 KM on it, that is working well, one thing went wrong with it about 6 months after instalation, and Adam honoured the warranty. Everything has been good since. I still take my car there, and I think Adam does a damn good job for his customers. I recommend him, others do not. I'm trying to give a positive review.

 

Congrats you got lucky and beat the odds.

 

Settle down max............if i wanted to read your opinion i would just search again.......my car is all the proof i need of adams work....so put the thesaurus away...and go pound together some rotaries in your backyard......dont forget to wear your scarf......

 

I would imagine that there is guys in Calgary that can build a motor for less money and have it outperform whatever Adam builds. I bought my car and it has an Adam rebuild in it, no problems with it so in no way am i saying he cannot "do the work" but what I am saying is that he is not "God"

Also most of the best tuning companies in the world started out in their backyards/garages.. where did Adam start?

 

You think I'm Max? Lol, I'm affraid you've been misguided again. Max has far more pride than I do, he'd never be caught on THIS forum again. You want to find him "man up" and come start a discussion over on www.teamfc3s.org/forum. Besides if you did your research you would find Max hardly ever posted in regards to Adam and his shop. Scarf? Hmmm not sure I "get" that one.

You have no reference other than what Adam spews to you. You always post "Adam built my motor and it pulls hard" Compared to what? Take equal turbo's on equal cars, one with an Adam built and ported motor, and one with a decent built and ported motor and I am very confident you would see the difference. But that's the problem really. You won't compare you take Adam's word as Gospel and bow at his feet, like others in the past. There's more to rotary than that guy knows, you just have to be willing to take the blinders off and stop listening to him. Stop drinking the Koolaid man.

 

well the bottom line is........i am happy with the work i got done @ Adams shop....if u are not happy with work he did for u .............i guess thats 2 bad........i am by no means looking for an argument with u.....all u are doing by constantly slandering rx7 specialties is dividing the local rx7 community....which is not doing anyone any good..........i know i do not attend the local meets due to the fact i dont wanna argue about what kinda work Rx7 specialties does.........

 

Listen keep bringing your car there that's cool. I will continue to discuss what I've seen there. You don't go to the meets cause you don't what to argue about RX-7 specialties? Come on man, that's retarded, anybody whose been to the meets will tell you that the topic of Adam and his shop rarely come up unless in passing. It's not like we all gather around and yell and scream about his work. He must have a massive ego if he believes that goes on, yikes. Come to the meets you'll be pleasantly suprised.

I got my panties in a bunch because of the claim that "Adam spends his time fixing the backyard butchery of a few" That was nonsense plain and simple. Whoever told you that is lying.

 

TDO7............is that a personal invite from u 2 me......for the next meet......well thx dude if it was.........i just may have to accept.........i would love to c these cars that u and your buddies drive.........and i am sure i could learn from u aswell......i just hate to see guys who share the same passion about the same cars not getting along.........


I apologize for the backyard butchery comment....it is true............just maybe not in your case............i have seen adam have to work with very limited budgets to rebuild some guys engines........my advice to anybody who is getting a rotary built.......would be to spare no expense........choose what u want the engine to be capable of..........then build it accordingly...........dont cut corners and use old bearings or seals...........or even rotar housings...........and if u follow that guide line........Adam can definetly build a strong motor.........even picasso cant paint with a ratty brush

 

Can't you talk normally? There's ellipsis, and then there's just a ridiculous amount of dots in a post... Wow, ****.

Anyway it sounds like RX7Specialties is usually 60% disproval rating on here, from what I read.

I don't attend every event, just can't make it sometimes. But it's not like a junior high dance where people who like Adam stand on one side of the parking lot, and people who don't stand on the other. The meets are typically a whole mix of people, those that work on their own cars and have substantial knowledge, those that don't and don't care too, and those that are new and looking to gain knowledge.

I agree about using good parts. New housings and rotors is not always neccessary, will the motor be stronger with new parts? Sure, and should some parts never be reused? You bet. My beef with Adam is not that he uses used parts, I'm sure some builds require it, like I said, if in spec housings and rotors are ok to be reused. My beef is on a couple of occassions now we've seen customers who PAID for new parts, and when the motor went prematurely a rip down of the motor proved there is no way new parts were ever installed. You have the choice to believe me or not, but that's the way it was.

 

well if that is the case......u have a right to be mad......using old parts when the customer has paid for new parts is totally unexceptable and i would have to think punishable by law as fraud in some way???
how long ago was it that u seen these problems..........i am curioius to know......i am not saying i dont believe what u saw with your own eyes after tearing down and Adam engine (or what u believed was an Adam engine)... but i have a hard time believing that Adam would be that decietfull to his customers......one of Adams downfalls in my opinion would be the fact that he takes on 2 much work @ times trying to keep all his customers happy......the end result is he has trouble meeting deadlines......that 2 me says that he wants to bend over backwards to make his customers happy........it just backfires @ times........He wants his customers to be happy with the work.........thats why he will work to the wee hours of the morning, make house calls or even travel out of town at his own expense to fix a problem that someone maybe having
so why would he try to pocket a few extra bucks by using used parts if new ones were paid for?..........but if these things did happen in the past... Adam has definetly learned from it....and your accusations will only prevent them from happening again.........

When a rotary goes prematurely.......i would first point the finger @ the driver..........secondly the tuner..........and 3rdly the builder

I would think that a engine apart, on the bench, would be the only way to determine who's at fault with a engine failing early. To point a finger at someone, as you say, would be wrong and premature untill all the facts are in....
