After a shady eBay seller sent me a boat anchor disguised as a 13B, JDM Premium not only hooked me up with a perfect replacement – they helped me file the fraud claim! Their engine arrived crate-packed better than OEM, with every accessory bagged and tagged. Six months of track days later, I’m their customer for life. Real rotary pros who actually care.

The 13B-REW is a beast when it’s running right. The power delivery is intoxicating, and the compact size makes it great for weight distribution. However, owning one isn’t for the faint of heart. Apex seals, oil consumption, and heat management are real concerns. If you stay on top of maintenance and use quality synthetic oil, it’ll reward you. But neglect it, and it’ll bite back. Still, for those who appreciate rotary engines, it’s worth the effort.

After getting burned by two ‘low-mileage’ 13Bs from other sellers, I took a chance on JDM Premium – and wow, what a difference! Their team walked me through the full inspection report, compression numbers, and even sent a video of my engine running on their test stand. 6 months later, it’s purring at 12psi boost like it’s fresh from the factory. These guys are rotary whisperers!

The 13B-REW is a masterpiece of engineering. As the heart of the FD RX-7, this twin-turbo rotary delivers an incredibly smooth powerband and that signature high-revving scream. The sequential turbo system eliminates lag, and when tuned properly, this engine can push well beyond its stock 276 HP. Yes, rotaries require more maintenance than piston engines, but the driving experience is unmatched. If you love unique engineering and are willing to put in the care, the 13B-REW is pure automotive joy.
