hey just wondering what u guys get charged for a rebuild with forged internals in the perth area, including labour and all??
as im in kalgoorlie im not sure if im paying the right price or if im being ripped... all up i was quoed roughly 8k
Hey mate hit up eBay USA u can
get forged wiseco pistions to ur door for $600 there also forged rods for $600 on there spool imports do a kit arp bolts cosmetic head gasket forged rods/pistion bottom end bearings for $2000 u should be able to get away with machineing and assembly for around $1000
Yeh u would have to ask the person who goin to assemble it and they will measure up your bores,crank ect then you just buy the parts to suit or buy colins one for 3gs and do a motor change and you have just knocked off $5 grand off ur quote and u dnt need to deal with the problems and costs of gettin ur motor built
If the machining & assembly is only $1k I wouldnt go for that. Machining is a very important part of the engine build. Machining alone you can spend thousands like what Ive done on my 30.
Question is how long is a piece of string? (Kyle dont answer this!)
Maybe you should consider how good a quality forged motor you want, compared to just a forged motor.
My RB30 owes me well over $20K due to quality of parts AND machining.
See that $1000 for me covers balancing the engine acid wash,crack tested,honed,top of block skimmed I then plan to assemble my engine my self I think it's not the amount of
money spent on machineing it's the machinest that count at the end of the day
turb3l pm sent mate, yer well i would obviously want the best machining done as i dont want it done twice.... with the engine in would u need to run it on standard psi and so on for a 1000k or so on>
