Does anyone know of an excellent rebuild kit?
Ive searched all over the internet, and all I can really find is
Atkins most complete kit is $1475 - Racing Beat is $1737 - Certainly worth it for a good running engine with no headaches down the road.
Im sure most will say call them first. I have not had time to call during business hours (I work the same hours) So I thought Id see if anyone here has any experience with these kits and might reccommend one over the other first hand?
Im thinking Atkins, because of the better price, and RB appears to be an OEM rebuild kit.
I was wondering if there might be some harder to find kits out there set for racing? My goal is not less than 440 HP at the flywheel, or about 350 at the wheel. I just want parts that can well handle this power. As well as 20lbs of boost or more (with stock ports) so I can have room to expand later on.
As always your help is appriciated

Hey yeah, Id like to know the pricing on that kit! Still might be a little while before I order one. My main concern is durability, and I would think that something aftermarket is designed to be used with modifications. I would think that the OEM mazda kit is designed for stock applications.
Let me know if Im wrong about this thinking

I know Atkins does stuff for Rotary powered Avaition. If its the same motors, then they *HAVE* to be excellent cause you cant really pull over to the shoulder at 20,000ft.
I would imagine there are differences enginewise though
