hey guys i am in need of a rebuild on my 88 N/A. I am going to go with a bridge port as well. i need to know of any recommendations you guys have as far as who to take my ride to. rx7.com i know is good, MZM will only get a reman. motor, and then there is alamo rotary in San Antonio. has anybody used these people before, or had any good/bad experiences. also what is a good price for a rebuild with a bridge port. i can get a bridge ported motor from tunerdr.com for about 1600 but then i still gotta get some one to put the thing in. i would rather have them do everything at once, if possible. thanks guys.

 

I can install a motor (having it shipped here would be cheaper than your house, too); never rebuilt a 13B, though.

 

Well you have Rotary Performance , Gotham Racing , BDC, and Marvel Speed around the general DFW area. Ones that actually do BPs..... no idea, I know BDC and Gotham do Half bridgeports.

 

a half bridge would probably be better for my crowded neighborhood.....i get complaints and mean stares every time i start my car in the morning as it is...oh well screw them...thanks for the info jay

 

I would go with Marvelspeed.

 

I have no experience with a bridge port, but I got my motor from rotary performance. I got a mild street port. I like their work, as they test run the motor to ensure that it works, before they send it out to the customer. 10,000 miles on the motor and it runs like a champ. You have many shops to choose from in Texas (above post), and I would recommend that you call them and compare product versus price. Make sure you ask what they reuse and what they replace. That will affect your price dramatically. Good luck.

 

Toss me a PM ad I'll give you a labour and parts' quote. I will do you a very good job.

i bought my car from a guy in waco he had it rebuilt at alamo rotary i think

 

BDC has built some niiiice 400hp+ engines. Latest guy is at 506hp on a street port was it?

 

I hear MArvelspeed is one of the best up in the DFW area

 

Not sure if any of you have heard of a guy named Curtis James over in Arlington off Cooper st. Im hopfully about to buy an FD from him, he buys wrecked RX's or ones with blown motors and fixes them then sells them. http://revvinsevens.com/

 

Yup, I hang out at his shop every Friday and watch him and his partner turn some beat up RX-7s into pretty cars worthy for the street once again. His 13B-RE swap on his own car should be finished by now and he recently imported an actual 93+ish Cosmo.. that is such a b.e.a.utiful car in person.

 

go with this guy. he is one of the FEW people i would even consider to allow to port/build/tune my enigine

 

I saw the cosmo that your talking about. No engine but beautiful!

 

Very beautiful. I know Curtis; I am very good friends with him and am at his shop often. Next time you're over there, take a peek at his Cosmo 13BRE engine in his white 10th Anniv. I ported and did some of the assembly on that motor.

Go with BDC, he does some serious quality work. I've seen some of it
