U can get the following stuff at mazdatrixs, atkins rotary, or mazda dealer. I think go around from $1300 to anywhere of $3000.

woah up to $3000? I want a really good kit an dI was going ot get the RB rebuild kit for $1,300, does a $3000 one include housings or rotors? Cause I want a really nice one that will have the engine lasting a while on moderate upgrades (around 230 bhp is what I'm aiming for) Is the RB one considered "cheap" If there's a better rebuild kit that will help alot I'll spend the money for it but wow $3000? that seems a little much I've heard a whole self rebuild with new housings is around $2000 in parts and I want to get a new wiring harness. Someone give me some good news and tell me that a $3000 rebuild kit is basically a disassembled engine or something.

thermal pellet removal, higher oil pressure regulator, When you send your plates to be lapped at pineapple racing have rob do the oil passage mods for you and street port them. Exhaust port mods. While you are waiting pick up the dremel and port match your intake manifolds to each other and when you get the engine together port match to the block. Do the TB mod, and do a cold air intake box. Read RETEDS page here is a link.

All the mods have been written up and you can search for them. If you are going to do the streetport yourself do it before you send them to get lapped.

i saw that few months ago, comes with new housing, and new rotors and an option of 3mm apex seals. Pretty much almost a disseamble engine.

Don't street port the engine unless you intend to making the appropriate fuel mods.

Rebuild kits are also well covered in the Archives.
