Ask, the shop im assuming, why specifically you need a new engine. See if your compression is around 90-110 psi on all 3 points of each rotor. Was it overheating? Only take your car to known rotary shops. People like banzai racing and others do rebuilds for around 1300-1500$ as a base price. If you need rotor housings, lapped plates, or any internals replacement cost will go up significantly. Right now im spending around 4500$ because I needed new rotor housings and a new rotor.

a basic rebuild consists of all internal o rings and seal replacement. If all of your hard parts are good the builder will reuse them and the cost stays down. If your apex seals are not broken or worn they wont be replaced unless you want a different seal. Check out this link. http://rotaryaviation.com/overhaul_kits.htm

As per Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda, FD remans are not available, and have not been available for over a year.
He sells new (new) oem shortblocks for right around $4000. I know, I bought one

I just picked up a FD with a Mazda reman. I was told there was roughly 43K on the rebuild. I have a TT setup non-sequential. I was told roughly 60K was a good number to start looking for a rebuild to keep the costs and such down. True statement?

if your compression is good and you're not smoking like a ****, no need for a new motor/rebuild. I bought my current FD with a reman and has 15k on it, I wanna do a compression test while I've got it half apart for a new fuel system, but I gotta get a comp tester first.
