Holy ****.


7 had a faulty second turbo (seals were trashed), most of the wiring underneath was coroded, all in all weak compression, oil pan leakage, etc etc

basicly at 90.000 miles it was time for a rebuild.


Due to our previous mods it was recommended after the rebuild that we use a 7Psi turbo line "pill" until we get a power FC. With that said the new engine rebuild is at least 15-20 hp more than the previous engine was at 12psi. It was a brand new car when we picked it up.

I'd highly recommend Gotham for just about anything. Great guys and great communication.

Oh, and sorry to threadjack, but Dan: Are you rebuilding the engine yourself or sending it to somewhere? I hear Brett does great work at Rotary Performance in Manassas.

That's where the car is right now! I've been dealing with Brett for a couple years now. I wouldn't trust anybody else with my car.

SA22C refers to a 79 or 80 RX-7.

SA- RX-7
2- 2 door
2- 12a engine
c- Coupe

Mine's an 85:

JM3FB331XF.......... I'll keep the rest to myself

JM- Mazda
3- North american coupe
FB- RX-7
33- Body style code
1- 12a engine
x- Check code
f- year (85)

So, as you can see, my car is an FB, not an SA22C....

It all depends on what the motor needs... bearings, seals, etc.. Give him a call...

How much're you paying, if you don't mind me asking? I tried e-mailing him twice but i just got back short little messages with no details. I don't wanna waste his time with a call because i won't be able to afford the rebuild for a little while. I met him once at summit point though, he seems like a really nice guy, and he knows his stuff, that's for sure.
