who\'s the best person for a rebuild

[BlitzBoy]

Two reasons I moved to SCR they are half the price almost lol , plus the way SCR have made them I can use 2 piece on full bridge porting.

But I was impressed with the PTS they did the job well in three years I had them with all the abuse I threw at them coping well with 3 major overheating events

yeh fair enough.. i run them in my car back home and the engine still starts on the key hot or cold after 8years and plenty of 9000rpm skids!!
 
i am contenplating if i should stick with mazdas or go scr this time round..
 
As for engine rebuilding in the UK - Do you research !!

yeah thats what I was thinking about the ancillaries......
Tis a shame that something like that has popped your engine mate - i really feel for you - but on the bright side as you menioned - can now go for bigger power and porting

Hi Graham,

Are you the same Graham from Leciester that bought my white to4r that had 424rwhp and we went out on the motorway and mapped with water injection to 1.4 bar and we crapped ourselves when this benmd appeared out of no where? If so hope you doing well mate have you got another rx7 yet?

Good stuff welcome back mate. Funny I\'m a t working talking to a colleague about that white t04r and then about half hour later I\'m on mrc and I see the username Mulv, previous owner of the said car I\'m was talking about. Trust your doing well mate, will be looking out for pics of your new beasty.

Ps I\'m not sure I\'ll ever fully recover from the fright of seeing that bend loom out of nowhere, I must say you are very calm at the point of near death lol.

Hi my names adam and new to this site ive got a fd3s rx7 which ive had since november last year. currently on 49000 miles was rebuilt at 41800 but looks like it has blown a seal, it drives but lumpy idle and just sounds like the engine is not happy, it was getting mapped at tdi and broke on the dyno . so im in need of a rebuild.

To be honest i will probably take the engine out of the car myself( how hard can it be? :s). but need to know who is best to rebuild it. i want it street ported and built to a high spec so i can add front mount. single turbo etc etc after so i dont have to pay out so much at once.

ive heard of pip gardner at wgt. is there anyone else that anyone can reccommend. i live in sussex if it helps.

Many thanks....Adam

Sorry mate the least I could do after coming on here and spoiling your thread(sorry) is answer your question, best person to do your engine is Jaydee.

calm... hmm yes I am generally a laid back person, but I think my calm demenour had a lot to do with the fact I was concentrating so hard trying not to crash the car and keep it in a straight line, I just appeared calm.......trust me I was a tad concerned!!!!

[lowslowandold]

only one person i fully trust is oldones, just look at the last few santa pod events, oldones cars in the finals. reliable strong power, ive seen the quality of the porting and NO one does it better. pictures all the way through from strip down to rebuild with photos of the new bits going in, i know he is very busy due to all the motors he\'s building, but im sure he will squeeze you, great bloke.

[splinter53]

Just checked where they are and there only like 5 mins drive from my gfs which is ideal. Have sent them an email but what sort of prices do they charge? As was thinking about taking it to Carl at Hayward rotary but he hasn\'t replied to an email I sent the other day :@ lol. Basically want a street port engine build and map the power fc.

[BlitzBoy]

yip Oldone built my engine and I won the past Jap drag series round at PTM show at Pod
you can contact him on the fduk.org forum , forum name on there youngone

The best thing with him dude he will take pictures on the strip down and build, you know you wont get ripped off and he will put in the parts you paid for

[splinter53]

Does he give any kind of warranty? Only really gonna use mine on the road.

[captainbizzaro]

oldones FTW.

I would echo Brian here - Kerim and Jaydee at Powergains built my engine (large streetport) and single turbo setup (gt4088) for track days and fast road use and it has been absolutely solid. Great power (all my mates with Scoobs/RS4s/supercharged elise) etc have commented how strong it feels and I\'ve had no issues with it since. I received a steady stream of photos during the initial strip down and porting, and they were happy to let me watch them build it all back up afterwards.

The great thing about Powergains is that it\'s a one stop shop - solid engine build and excellent mapping from the guys with excellent support afterwards, they even popped up to Snetterton on my first track day to see how I was doing, help out if I needed anything and also offered to fine tune the map on circuit.

Cheers
