Yours are friendly?
Only if you pay their prices. Then they smile until you are out the door and then they break into demonic laughter.

I'm leaning toward Atkins right now. I can't remember ever hearing anything bad about them.



Anyone have experience with Revolution Rotary?
My atkins blew a main bearing and it was less than a year old. I've heard from a few people about these engines having main bearing failure. No more atkins for me. I got a J-spec and it has been the best engine ever, (knock on wood) Puts out 330 to the wheels daily.



If i were to get a new engine again with out upgrades, it would be a mazda reman.

Ive had good luck with my J-spec too. It handled 19psi on the stock turbo more than a couple times.



The turbo actually ended up blowing up before my engine did.

I will rebuild my own using a jspec as a core. Otherwise I would send it to ITO or BDC. I had problems with RR.

I buy my motors from Mandeville Auto Tech. Darryl Drummond builds the motors. Stock to PPort. He knows his stuff.
