As per your other post asking about adding a turbo to your 2: my reponse is still the same: don’t bother. Just buy a faster car. It’ll just be an expensive lesson in how to break your fuel-efficient little grocery getter.
Source: modifying underdog Mazdas to barely outperform non-performance cars followed by wearing the car out prematurely. Repeatedly.
AutoEXE is definitely a Japanese parts company with strong ties to Mazda. As others have said: RE-Amemiya for rotary goodies. I think Knightsports is Japanese, they do have parts for Mazdas, but i don’t think that’s exclusive.
If you are okay with broadening to non-Japanese only aftermarket companies that do Mazda parts, your options open quite a bit.
AWR are awesome.
If there was a good warranty on the new engine and the mileage was nearly identical, then i’d be getting it.
It might, it might not. That’s what a warranty on the “new” engine or transmission is important to get. It’s also important to make sure the dealership is getting an overhauled engine from the manufacturer and not just a scrap engine from the field out back.
Definitely agree! And OP should DEFINITELY make sure there is a warranty on the new engine.
Just an fyi if you didnt know, an option most dealerships may offer is a used engine with comparable mileage for significantly less cost than a brand new one. Not saying its better or worse, just that the option is often there.
Roasts my toes in my 2!
