mswit209 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 i have a 13b at my shop right now almost no miles maybe like 2. has turbo 2 side houseing 3rd gen rotor housings 3mm apex seals and a slight port job. it has a bunch of other upgrades aswell. i just cant seem to remember them right now. we did a shit load of work on this guys 2nd gen rx7 suspension motor and a lot more the bill came to 10g's and when it came time to pay he never showed. well now the car is off to the scrap yard and the motor shit on a table. i can see how much my boss would want for it. its a solid motor. oh yeah i work at ricks rotary performance one of the last few rotory shops in the bay area of california. but then again if you want another motor built get it bridge ported. unless you wanna daily it. theres this guy i got my engine from its pretty reasonable too. his website is rx7world.com Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 sounds good! Just wondering though, why do people always put the tachometer where they can't see it. :( I would put it smack dab in the middle where your speedo is. But thats just my opinion. or on the a pillar i was considering running my oil pressure temp and voltage there but i decided not to because i would need to take my eyes off the road to see them thank you for the internal pics of a rotory i knew hoe they worked but never seen one torn down like that before Quote Link to comment
