OK. Here is the latest info on what "REW" means.
"rotary engine double turbo" but the Japanese had trouble saying "double' so
they used W instead.That make any sense?
You would differentiate the late model sequentially turbo'd engine by
insisting on an engine from the 1993 and on models. Everthing before that was
not called a "rew". BTW, you can get a factory short block rebuilt 13Brew for
$2050 (exchange+crating+shipping) from Byran at Rotorsports Racing in
Kaanapolis, NC. (704-933-6222) My best source. He buys in quanity. I just got
one for an automatic tranny car (my wife's car).
That $3400 is high but what year/model engine are you buying? And are you
buying it outright?
