so that list is everything thats in the new bottom end you want to buy?

how many k's or new? sounds alright i guess, how much power you aiming to hit it with? you might wanna make sure everythings there before you buy

It isnt getting brought, it is getting swapped from a company, it has recept's and photo's of everything that will be going into the engine, as i have said i am swapping for a blown up vl turbo,

how much do you guy's think this be worth?

if you were to build that bottom end, and you already owned the block,

you would get change out of $2000

if you pay any more then this you need to find a new workshop.

its a stock rebuild with forged pistons and thats it.

if your VLT motor has bits worth more then $1500 that are still usable, then dont do it

theres no mention of the crank being balanced to suit the new forged oversize pistons, so if that hasnt been done it will struggle to rev past 5k and will rattle itself to bits.

Why would you reco a oil pump when a brand new N1 is only $400

sounds dodgy..

reco oil pump? what!

cps yes,(they come with pins)

billet rods.

n1 pump with collar

9:1.

standard main and head bolts.

head clean up mild cams.

thats what i would concider a reasonable build without busting the bank

ok thank's for this, was going to swap tomorrow,

so really if im going to swap what should i ask for in this bottom end?

an in the head i just basically want it rebuilt with new cams springs an make sure all is good, befor even thinking about fuel and bigger turbo,

but this bottom end has me thinking he might be taking a lend of me and getting a cheap vlt.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
