If your gonna do a self build on a rotary there is a yank company called Rotary aviation that will supply full rebuild kits for the 13B engine at very good prices.......they also sell videos of the rebuild being carried out by a bloke called Bruce Turrentine (sp) which is supposed to be a must buy for the DIY'er..........

Also, when i had mine, i sent it up to Pip @WGT in cheshire, and the man is mint! Top bloke, nice as pie and will tell you straight.

Would have thought 400bhp requires a new programmable ecu and new turbo(s) . Think the pair are replaced with a T04. not sure. Maybe also some 3mm tips for durability?
Just in the middle of putting one of these in a westfield........

whats with the DIY hating

i own a car as a hobby, the hobby is using my spare time on the car, i dont call a hobby something i drive to a garage and drop off a cheque and then collect it

wheres the fun in that

if i wanted a car that fast and costs me a fortune i would choose a fast fun car to start off with


also DIY aint that hard when ive got access to EVERY tool for a mazda

not to mention the full tech back up

just they aint that good at the moment

was thinking single turbo though
