This is my first post and I'm new to the RX7's. I live in Montreal and I bought one from Fahiti Auto this year and blew my motor not long after. I do not recommend buying from this dealer but now I'm stuck without a motor.

I first went to JDM skyline and they are charging 1800 for a motor. I then fell upon Royal Japanese and they offered 3000 installed. Is this over priced or a good deal. I want to know if these places are reliable if not is there one around montreal anyone can suggest for FD engines or mechanics. Any help is appreciated.

 

Maybe find a rotary shop that will rebuild your motor instead of finding a used motor. Those used motors you never know how they been treated or what type of mileage they have. At least by rebuilding it, you know its fresh.

$3000 installed for an FD engine is pretty cheap.

I know that Dave at Mazdees - arguably, the most reputable rotary shop in Ontario - charges $6000+ for complete removal, rebuild and re-installation.

 

i heard good thing about japan motor import the other one i don`t know go check www.rhdquebec.com it`s a club of jdm only

 

Don't think its that much lol.

Thanks for the feedback, but does anyone know if there are any rotar mechanics in quebec or someone that remaps engines?

 

Yeah, don't think it's that much..... I just rebuild my FD at Mazdees, it's around $4500 + tax........

BTW, I think I saw your blue 99 spec FD there, thewird......

 

Yah, its been there for 2 weeks but its nothing engine related. I toasted my front brakes at the track so they are grinding metal to metal. I'm still waiting for JRP to get my Stoptech big brakes in so hopefully my pads won't wear out so much. They told me it would be here Tuesday/Wednesday of this week but now they say Tuesday next week.... Also, waiting to get some upgrades (oil coolers, sway bars, flywheel, and some other things) but they want to do everything at once so I'm still waiting on those damn brakes which I need to drive around anyway >_>

4500!? WOW Id rather dive into it not knowing anything at all...the place where i worked not long ago charged 2500 rebuilt.

 

2500 rebuilt do you have a phone number for that place?

 

Yes but were not on speaking terms and I refuse to advertise for him.

 

Snok,

Did you find any answers for help in Montreal?

The reason I ask is that I just had the same thing happen....very bummed. Coolant getting by seals. Bummer.

Get some precise answers tomorrow.

 

I'm getting the engine installed tomoro but im still having trouble finding anyone that will work on FD's in montreal. Im goin with royal japanese motors they garantie me no exhaust smoke and no engine problems for 60 days. Which sounds resonable because first engine went from drifting abuse.
