Interesting. My motor is apart. Headgasket was perfect. Bearings are perfect. Caps are perfect. No evidence of movement. Grouting will help yes. I'm only considering brace as an insurance policy. If i call platinum or spool about a brace they will be trying to sell me a brace hence I want to know, have people used them or have people cracked blocks using braces. Even pm if you don't want to say in public lol

How much is the kulig kit? I understand the kulig kit comes with caps as well. Turns out I've split a bore. Engine is out and considering my options. N1 blocks are too expensive. I am using another 26 block and it will be half grout filled. I don't know if I should buy a brace......
-
what about 600?
-
This is true.^^ Has anyone grouted a block and used a brace? Side note. Spool imports also do a brace. Has anyone used this?
-
Lol dat dose. Get yourself a gtx. Hardly any dose.
-
No bov. No leak.
-
yeah i understand. i was suppose to just do a freshen up, at the time i wasnt even considering going single, only thing led to another, 35psi later......
-
good stuff. i actually didnt anticipate id make 800hp. long story but it sort of just happend. wish i went block brace from the start.
-
Excellent! im looking at a PRP also. i imagine you are chasing north of 500kw atw? aftermarket front diff or stock? i do. how? dont know. just happend? it has cracked on the outside of the block, on the hot side, between cylinders 2 and 3, right above the oil feed. after some googling, it seems to be a popular spot. Next question is. have you cracked one? what have done to remedy it?
-
Who has used one? Has anyone cracked a block since fitting one? Discuss.
-
If the block has 05U embossed on it then it's a run of the mill rb26. All the same. If it has 24u its an n1 block. You'll find the markings on the exhaust side under the welsch plugs... near cylinder 2. -
WTB R32 GTR OEM Turbo coolant hard lines, rear turbo
WantGTR replied to rb30gtr's topic in Wanted to Buy
Pretty sure kudos will have this stuff new. -
Of course. Wrecker engine could last 1 week or 5 years. Never know. Just know that if that sump comes off it's $$$$$ of the bat.

Is the engine still in the car? Do you know why you lost comp? You can save money by pulling out the motor yourself. Strip everything off it and take it to a shop for a rebuild. They can do the hard part. In the mean time you can clean everything and take your time putting it back together, cleaning, painting, new hoses, new gaskets. After the initial build it's the add ons that shoot the bill up. Are you going to paint the engine bay? Rebuild CVS? Going single is VERY expensive. It is the same a turbo charging a non turbo motor. NOTHING on your twin setup can be used. Keep that in mind. Fuel setup, just injectors? Going e85? Larger lines? Pumps? Ignition and electrical upgrade? Ecu? Clutch? Gearbox? Tune? Point is shit gets out of hand VERY quickly. You can spend 5k, wrecker engine, swap it over and keep on cruising or by the time you're done your bill will be over 30k

Usually budget is the stopper for everything. Even though you have the funds to go billet block, dry sump, race head and promos doesn't necessarily mean you should. If you are going to chase power you will do everything. Bottom end. Head. Fuel setup. Turbo. Clutch. Everything. This will take time and money. Or you can fix what's broken and be content with what it is. I got my engine built. Makes 800hp. It's sick but it was off the road for almost 2 years and it was heaps of stuffing around. This is the time you need to decide what you want out of the car.
-
cheapest option? wrecker engine. old one out. new one in. can be done over a weekend. pros; minimal downtime, cost effective. cons; used performance engine. dont want that and want the next step? start saving. starting from the bottom of the engine you will spend 5k before you even touch the block. think; upgraded sump, front diff, block brace. thats just the start... moral of the story, get yourself a serious coke habit. its cheaper lol

im not quite making 1000hp but i am using Brad Penn 20w-50
