rotary mechanics

[Spec_R]

I was wondering if there are any rotary mechanics who work on RX-7s' rotary engines in Fargo?

[rustychevy]

I had work done on mine at Lunde's here in fargo. A little expensive, but one of their mechanics has been working on mazdas forever.

Ya the only place I could ever get my RX-7 worked on was Lunde's. There's a guy there that know a lot about them and always got myine running perfect when something was a miss. Otherwise I haden't found anyone else in town.

id suggest lundes or i have heard that caleb at type-r does rotary work

[Guest]

no, as far as I know, caleb does not do rotary builds/rebuilds. I know he has a couple 7's sitting around that he is planning on getting running but he will be buying a motor for them iirc.

I'm in the proccess of starting the rebuild my T2 but the rebuild kits are so damn expencise and i know i'm gonna need new housings.

[Spec_R]

so i guess if u don't know much about those engines, then Fargo isn't a great place to own a RX-7? how about modifying the car?

Marty at Lunde is one of the two rotary mechs in the state. The other is in GF. Marty did my engine install, 30k on that motor now with not one problem, with the motor that is. You dont need to be a rotary guru to own one. Most 7 owners will have there motors built to the needs they want i.e. street port, race port, 3mm seals ect. Working on a rotary has the same principals as a piston motor; air, fuel, spark. So working on them and modifying them is almost the same, if you know how to install a piston motor you know how to install a rotary. Unless you plan on ripping into the motor and changing the dome of the rotor, you'd be fine with owning one.

Eric you are the exception...

Well i guess that about sums it up then...hahaha^^^^^

Well depending on what kind of build you want I know of a couple of guys that do them outta their homes. I had mine rebuilt by a guy out in PA and he did a street port other than that it was just new seals and springs. Si far so good, there is also another guy I think the website is www.rotaryresurrection.com Other than that I think you can get a Mazda Reman for like $1800. As far as modding goes the rotary is one of the easiest engines to work on. There is plenty of room under the hood to work with. I have done some decent upgrades to mine and it took real well to every mod. So dont be scared because the # of rotary specialists/gurus is low in this area. With the I-net these days help is never really to far away. Plus there is a ton of rotary shops nationwide that can build you a motor.

Marty does know his rotary's but he is no longer here at Lunde's

[Efini]

This post is deleted!

[Raider]

He was let go a few months ago

[Efini]

What! Let go...how in the fuff do you let go your only certified rotary tech let alone one of two in the state! Not very smart on Lunde's part if ya ask me.

[Raider]

I agree with you

HAHA, like a tech at best buy is worth a shit anyway!!

[Spec_R]

let go as in he want to go or he got fired?
really? he was one of the best rotary mechanic in the state...?

[Raider]

Marty was a good tech for the older mazda's but he couldnt produce the hours that Service wanted...he was/is very good at what he does but he just takes his sweet time at doing it and wasnt making the shop money so they let him go...Im sure if you guys need work done he would do it on the side at his house...he loves the rotary and I think he has a few motors laying around at his place as paper weights
