I have a blown engine with less than 60K miles, but it is out of 8 year extended warranty.

The dealer wants too much for labor, and I have a shop that has done rotaries before and is much less money.


The question is where do I get the reman engine from? I heard they were about $2100 - but I assume that is with taking back your core.


I called one source (all they had was used) who said they calls every single day from people needing 2004 RX-8 engines. Very disillusioned with Mazda at this point.

just a few, the latter are members on the forum.

 

try calling Goopy Performance in Stony point on the north side of town.

 

Mazmart right here on the forum in the vendor section.

 

The list price of a Mazda Reman is $2001.00 + $1,000.00 core charge. However, most dealers (all of my local ones were much more than $2001.00) charge a huge mark up so it could be much more than list price. Also, the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty you get a Mazda reman is only valid if a Mazda dealer installs the engine.

Your best bet is to contact a reputable builder. My last engine was rebuilt by Rob @ Pineapple Racing and it was a wonderful experience.
