how much would u charge for a decent rebuild for a v3 non sti....incl parts

[Guest boostin]

You supply the parts and I'll build it for you. I'm in Massey East.

[Guest scoobydoov3]

how much labour will u charge u reckon??

[Guest boostin]

It all depends on what you want done.

Do I need to assemble the rods, crank, block etc? And how complete does it need to be? Like would I be leaving it as a long block or does it need the cambelt and everything on too?

Decent build, and supplying you a engine ready to be fitted to car. ( full build )

This inc new forged CP pistons, forgded rods, genuine gaskets and bearings, new water pump, new oil pump, cambelt, tensioner and idlers

base porting of exhaust and knife edging intake ports, and baffling of std sump

$6000, this price is dependant on the state of your crankshaft

upgrade to Xdrilled factory crank will put cost at $7500

Camshaft upgrade additional $1500

Use of an external oil cooler is a MUST

This rebuild is is good for a reliable 250Kw+ all day long

[Guest scoobydoov3]

HOLY SHIT!!!! 6G

[Guest scoobydoov3]

6G!!!! but thats not bad i guess as my mate got a rebuild for 8900 lol. but i gota sort the cash first depending on what i want done like u guys said.

well i gota gc8 wrx v3...and i was thinkin of http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Subaru/Engines/auction-266747501.htm

and that would be the block done im sure...apart from boreing it and shit to 2.2???

and for the heads i was thinkin of jus gettin a sti head in good cond...if it will fit??? and upgrade afm ecu and turbo...im not after much power atm. just wanna get a bit faster and a rebuild as im getin little signs of BEB havin a trip lol

[Guest boostin]

You go and price up bearings & gaskets, cambelt, waterpump etc, oversize pistons after a cylinder rebore, add head and block machining costs, plus a grand or so labour, and it tallies up pretty quick.

If your crank is stuffed price that too, along with new rods. 6G is easy to spend.

[Guest scoobydoov3]

yea i know it sure will tally up fast...im slowly looking into it. do youz reckon jus gettin a sti engine with low kms is worth it?? or forged rebuilt with yellow injectors, sti ecu and vf turbo etc.....

thanks what i gota do ta make up my mind first

[Guest boostin]

What do you want to do with the car? Just a daily driver or track racer?

[aim]

If you give it to Ichi Ban or Boostin, you're in safe hands, they both helped diagnose my engine issues over the internet! They know their ****.

[Guest scoobydoov3]

o f*ck yea i know they know their shit lol...umm for your question boostin..i jus wanna daily driver...but at the same time have some fun on track days and shit. got a 14.43 at night wars last year. going for 4 n rota nats nxt wkend
