hi guys ,
i've had a look and couldn't see a thread that gives a price list for a forged engine rebuild , is there one that anyone knows of pls?

ive just priced it up my self and it went over £5k so im guessing im being abit generous .

would 350 ish bhp warrant a forge block ?

cheers

 

Are you planning a self build ?

 

i am yes mate ive watched a few videos on youtube and with you guys aswell i feel very confident that i can do it ,


guys a legend

 

1200-1500 for self build. That includes replacing a buggered crank and all gaskets you will need and other consumables.

 

350 is borderline, just pop up and see me for all your bits and pieces.

WMS above supplied all my parts for my rebuild, everything is still running beautifully. His advice and service was excellent!

 

andy !!
its dai from off flint

edit: lol i guess you realized that hence the pop up lol got excited

 

im struggling with this bolt that much i actually hate it



pinched the pic from slash
any tips ? the engine is still in and downpipe pushed out the way ..

 

Search Ebay for these sockets mate, essential for an engine strip. They grip rounded off nuts/bolts.



As for the cost of an engine build, well if it's a straight forward build then it should be a straight forward list. However this is when it gets complicated. The "while you're in there" factor can take you off on all different types of tangents.

Project creep is a bitch.

 

lol love it cheers !! never even knew these sockets existed
sweet

edit: just been reading your build kwik , thats what im going to be like , but more spanner rash no doubt
anyway i had to fast forward to the last page so dont tell me what happens lol

 

alright then this thread was more of a shall i keep it and know you have given me the answers i wanted im going to close this thread and make a project progress thread ,

cheers for the help so far but dont go far

 

Hey thinking of doing the same with my97 Sti that has a knackered bottom end that guy on you tube is so good anyone thinking of doing a diy build really needs to watch him!! Good luck to you with your build hopefully mine will start next week :-)

 

See, already inspiring others....
