Thinking of refreshing my bottom end due to nearly coming up to 90K

I have a 99 classic which is fairly standard engine wise apart from a VF35 and Ecutek running 310ish

Just had my 3rd gear explode on me and have now stuck in a UK 6 Speed

Speaking to a few people they have recommened a 2.5 conversion (due to the 6 speed box), but been put off due to them not being as revvy (yep can of worms i know)

So i may just stick with my block and fit some forged internals and stroke it

So ive been pricing up some parts for crank,rods,pistons and bearings and they all been around the £1600 mark

Was suprised when i saw this

What do you guys think......good brand names not like there cheap chinese parts

My finger is hovering over the buy it now button

 

Try here.

Have spoken to Alan and he has advised he would rather do the build as they know exactly where to machine the block etc

I would rather do the build myself due to costs and mainly satisfaction afterwards

So the above would save me £855 from Enginetuners price but the advantage with getting one from Enginetuner would be its built and carrys a warranty

Mmm but the £855 saving would go towards a MD321

So is anyone running Mahle forged pistons and Eagle Rods ??

 

or an s206 lol

 

Have a chat to Mark at Lateral Performance regarding parts, or check out his new website Lateral Performance Ltd | Home

Eagle rods don't have a great rep on Scoobynet, although I couldn't tell you why.

Not everything from China is crap, eagle rods are forged in China and machined in the USA. I have used them and they are very good quality, currently running in my rally car at 2.0 bar with full antilag and several class wins.

 

Thanks mate had a look

Still works out around the £1700 mark with pistons,rods,crank and shells and £1195 for the lot from the ebay link

 

Thanks for that mate

Ok so thumbs up for the Rods,

What about the Mahle pistons.......as for the crank and the bearings well there proven (sti crank and acl bearings)

Do i hit buy now

 

Phone them, speak to Kath 01179672344, tell her Andy Williams refered you and she may knock a few quid off? Mahle pistons are also good, used them in several engines myself.

Naff, APi use Mahle pistons, so must be decent.

 

i was going to get the parts all from diffrent companies and get the work carried out by engine tuner. but when i got the qoute from them parts and labour i was very suprised give martin or allan a shout and see if they can qoute you happy

 

Hi if you look at this link from the same seller the kit comes with manly rods
instead of eagle and you get the seal kit which you will need for the engine build.

Wiseco and Mahle pistons are good quality at an affordable price

I have also herd that that the mahle pistons run quieter than wiesco pistons
which might be better for the road.

 

after having a good look at the link thats excellent value for money comped to other tuners out their and very good quality parts too.
