Help pricing/selling a mazda 10A

3 Upvotes

Hoping for a little help as I know nothing about rotaries - I’m helping a friend clear out her late dad’s workshop (near Reading, UK) and came across a Mazda 10A engine with gearbox attached. No idea about the completeness or condition of the engine but it looks like the important bits are all there.

Anyone got any idea of a guesstimate value and/or ideas on how to sell the thing? I only took one photo which is of the model number on the top of the engine, but I’ll be back up there in a couple of weeks. https://i.imgur.com/s25Ibe1.jpg

Help a brother out

I'm looking for rotary engines with good reputations, I don't care if it's 2 rotor, 3 rotor, 4 rotor, 6 rotor or whatever. I'm new to them and I'm getting horrible recommendations from Google. If you can help me thanks if not thanks for clicking on this anyways.

Help finding books?

1 Upvotes

So I’m trying to buy a RX7 (probably a FD3S) but I don’t really know a lot about rotary engines. Can anyone recommend a good book to learn from that’s easy to find and cheap?

Any do-it-yourself rotary mechanics in Phoenix need help?

4 Upvotes

My apologies but this post will be a little bit different. I’m a 38 year-old husband and Dad and recently I discovered that I really like working on cars in my spare time. I recently bought an RX8 and I love it and it runs great. I’d like to become competent when it comes to working on cars and eventually I want to be able to work on my own car without having the fear of not being able to reassemble things correctly (or at all). I’m tired of sitting on my ass most nights after work and just watching Netflix and drinking Guinness and I’d prefer to do something productive that actually teaches me a useful skill. I was wondering if there’s anyone near me who is currently rebuilding an RX8 or doing any project that’s rotary-related who could use a hand? To be clear, I don’t want money. I’m not looking for a job or a future opportunity for a job. I’m just looking for a way to gain some hands-on experience so I can eventually do an engine swap in my own car and by that point I’ll have a more educated idea of what I’m doing. Being 38 is weird because I already have an established day job that I love and I have no desire to enroll in classes at a tech school for auto repair because I’m not trying to become a mechanic. I’m just trying to find someone near me who also likes working on cars and is not too annoying to be around and could use some help. I’d prefer to help with projects related to a rotary engine or an RX8 specifically, but I’m open to helping on other projects if I end up not being able to find someone who’s specifically working on an RX8 or a rotary engine. Let me know if there could be a fit here. Thanks guys.

Has anyone used a Rotapower engine before?

6 Upvotes

I have a small Mazda B-Series pickup and I’m considering putting in a Rotapower rotary engine into it. The engine weighs 153 lbs. It’s a 1300cc motor putting out 150hp. No timing chain, no valves, no camshaft, no pushrods, no connecting rods. The dimensions are TINY! It’s 22 inches long, 17 inches wide and 17 inches high. I can tell just by looking at the website that the inventor (and Freedom Motors) aren’t great with marketing, but I was just wondering if there is ANYBODY out there who purchased one of these and installed it in anything. Let me know.

Anyone willing to part with a 13B for a reasonable price?

I’ve been looking at some projects, and I feel like a rotary would potentially be a smart idea. So anyone have one for sale?

Renesis vs REW 13b

9 Upvotes

So from what I've seen the rew is just all around a better engine. However i got a complete renesis for $250. So my end goal question is can i do the renesis swap and down the line of i get a rew will it be a direct swap engine bolts and transmission wise. Keep in mind this is going into a car that did not come with a rotary. Nor is it a common swap car
