fellow msoc needs engine help!!!!!.
 

hello all,on a very big low at moment.just got my car back from having its final stage of mods,and after a very fast couple of weeks the big ends have taken a dissagreement with the power.im gutted,spent a fortune on my beast n now i need a engine rebuild.can anyone advise me of a good engine builder who isnt going to make me need to sell a kidney. thanks in advance,a very miserabl pete.

fiestaboy:notworthy
send him a pm

Sorry to hear mate :( IIRC you only had the car built last week by ScoobyClinic?

Try pm'ing Fiestaboy on here he's a mechanic & posts here.
Also there is Hughberry Vehicle Services near Moor Park/Ickenham

cheers guys,yeah engine management (solaris) was plumbed in by the clinic.cant fault the guys,they gave me what i wanted,just think the standard internals just couldnt hack it.what do u guys think of api, any good?

ask ash(aka going 4 400)
not my favourite place

Try EngineTuner they are building a 2.1 race engine for my TypeR, sample of there work :

Give them a call for a no obligation quote :)

i phoned them over a week ago
spoke to alan's son
still no reply:confused:

have had the same treatment from ds automotives
and torque of the devil

not having a go at their work
but they dont call back:Whatever_

Thats very unusual as Alan usually returns all calls within a few hours, drop him or Martyn a PM :thumb:

What did you need doing to your car?

sorry m8, i dont chase people for somewhere to put my money
i explained what i was after and was told i would be contacted
i own a carpentry firm and if i say i will call back i do
no second chances in my game
and i expect the same in return

maybe this is why rcm charge what they do?

Very true so far all of my messages and calls have been returned thats why they have my business :) The guys over at RCM are also in my good books they even sent me a DVD of the gobstopper with my last order :D But then again nothing comes cheap whilst dealing with RCM

maybe its just me m8
do they think i am a time waster
or maybe not good for the money
i dont know for sure but if one of them can get back to me
with a plan of action and a price and time scale
we may be able to make some headway
my car needs a purpose in life or i may as well sell it
maybe Ash is right about a bmw
did have a look at a maserati today though;)

not a good start when a company doesnt follow up an enquiry.im a mechanic by trade n would love to do the rebuild myself.prob is facilitys to strip my engine down,lovely boss is saying he doesnt want it taking up any space!!,cheers boss.

I would go to Engine Tuner or Zen.

Tried loads of tuners and ended up throwing ALOT of ££ down the drain.

Engine tuner have given a top service so far, and gone the extra mile to help out when needed.

Martyn is sometimes very busy so it's understandable if one or two queries slip through the net. Alan is normally on top form with queries etc...

Last time we were there, they had around 5 Subaru's to do big power builds on, a Noble, a BIG power GTR, Evo's, Kit car's, etc... There was ALOT of quality work being done by them and their prices are reasonable. Give em a call.

i have been to paul at zen recently for some guages and minor works
all carried out very well
on collection i asked him for a price and details on where to go next
chased him via e mail 2 weeks later
2 weeks later still and not heard a word
my car is desperate for a 500+ multi map set up
if it doesnt happen this year it may have to go:brickwall

thanks mate,will give them a call.im not looking to go super strong,just want a top quality rebuild with race bearings,hopefully to eliminate any future big end issues...oh,and an uprated oil pump.

hi there mate try garage whifbits in enfield thay are great thay built my mates skyline engine and thay have a great rep give them a call Contact Us | Garage Whifbitz

That would be a real shame.

Give one of em a call again and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

What's left to do on it now?...

No doubt they'll sort you out a good deal.

Their 2.1 builds are excellent VFM as well! K18LLR will have his on the road soon so will be able to showcase their work.

Hi Budgie -- you have PM!
We are here to serve ..

Good response Alan :)

Budgie you may still get that build your after ;)

rich is full time at zen now so hes pretty busy id emagine . pm him and see what he says

ok,just a quicky guys,due to financial issues,ive decided to do my own rebuild.must admit the newage wiring loom was a bit of a pig,but now everything is off n just need to hoist the engine out.already bought a set of wiseco pistons n manley rods.will let you all know how it goes, cheers, pete.

sounds like a nice job :thumb:

Pete

This is the only way to go IMHO :luxhello:

Being a mechanic you've only wondered have they done this :wonder: or that :wonder:

This way your motor will go together with TLC and KNOW it's spot B@llock :thumb:

When you give it full 'beans' it ain't going to let go :norty:

Good luck with the build up and I'm sure you will enjoy it in the end :luvlove::luvlove:

Paul

thanks guys,i know what your saying paul.its going to take a fair bit longer this way,but satisfaction level when its all done should make it all worth while.will keep u all posted.

ok guys!,all back together and had my first nervy start up yesterday.glad to report its running spot on!!!.now i need to get a base map put on the solaris to run her in,and a thousand boring miles here i come!.cheers for all your support guys,much apreciated.

Well done mate :)

thanks rickya,now just the slow running in bit lol.

I couldnt contemplate ever doing a job like that myself..good on ya.

That's Great news Pete :thumb:

How many fingers and toes did you have crossed during the initial cranking over :lol1::lol1::lol1:

Bet ya had a smile a foot wide when she fired :D

Good on ya for taking the plunge and doing the work yourself. I'm sure its given you a real sense of achievement and job satisfaction :luxhello:

Get that 1000 miles out the way, change the oil and filter and blast away :norty:

Well done mate :notworthy
