All new seals
(2) Rotor housings
PCM Reflash (RacingBeat)
Racing Beat Porting + Templates
(6) injectors cleaned
Installation on BHR Ingition Kit

~$4000 dollars. But every engine needs different parts. My bearings, Rotors, Stationary Gears, and Eccentric Shaft were all in great shape. They were just cleaned up and reassembled with new housings.

The bitch of it is...is that all of the engine components block it from plain sight. But if you look close, you see a bright blue glimmer from under neath the hood.

I still kick myself for not jumping on Mazmarts engine sale a while back. So, $5,000.00 should cover a nice rebuild huh?

$5000 for a ported and engine rebuild ... seems really steep considering you havent broken the 200 WHP mark yet ......

How about this http://www.jdmtigerjapanese.com/details.php?id=3778

Ty, ty. I'm still quite happy with the Racing Beat Header, Dual Resonated Mid pipe, and HKS Hi-Power combination.

Thats on racing beat's ported tune...which is garbage. When I complete my tune with MM I'm going to hit the dyno and see my WHP restored.

So not only is their tune garbage, they also uploaded the wrong flash as well ... Ok .. that does it ... no more racing beat stuff for me .. that's just seriously unacceptable. I'm switching out the REVi box for the AEM/Mazdaspeed one. lol

You are better off with MS or AEM. You remove so much junk weight from your car and get cold air. My AEM with throttle body coolant bypass mod get me intake temps of +5 degress over ambient.
