I dont know that you can rebuild a blown motor for $300. when a motor blows, you loose at least 1 apex seal, and at least 1 housing. the housing alone is at least $300. not to mention all the seals and gaskets you would have to replace, just to put the motor back together.
you can buy a used JDM motor for about $800, thats probably the cheapest way you could go.
