hi all, im currently rebuilding my spare engine at my garage.

ATM, looking for a good & cheap :) shop in canberra to:

- shot peened my gtr rods & freshen up the rod stud bores.

- decked bottom end surface (before putting head gasket)

- freshen up the bore before putting new studs.

- balanced my crankshaft

and how much $$ im going to spend each?

i'm not looking for a cryogenic cranks etc, just to do basic rebuild stuff.

and lastly, does anyone have any prev exp for tuning pfc in canberra? i know lots of famous one in sydney but i wont be able to drive it to sydney.

thanks.

Oh he wants the work done.....I thought he had it done and wanted a rebuild. Present and past tense ing vs ed, so yeah pro engines for any machining etc

Plus it still stands for pfc anyway.

No PM's from me, It's a waste of breath and as correctly pointed out each persons experience is different.

Slaughter - Ditto mate, I have experienced the same pain on a rebuild. Take solace in my sig.

I've been burnt by Autotech. >.< Shame because Ed and the others there are great guys.

Plus, I don't think they are cheap.

For mechanical I'll be taking mine to TopSpec in Hume.

I haven't had anything 'big' done with him, but he's been great for the things I have had done there and all for a good price.

Also, girlfriends dad takes all his business cars there and recommends him.

Meh, every shop has bad feedback. I wont name them but I have had work done at a particular shop and was totally shocked at the price tag but they did do good work. Some times you luck out some times you don't

just got quote from proengines.

Just sharing for reference on machining cost for RB25det:

shot peen conrod $120

close & grind conrod $132

mill 6 cyl block - trade $100

machine hone 6 cyl $100

machine + fit crank collar $300

balance 6 cyl $225

check size & polish 6 cyl crank - trade $80

chemical clean 6 cyl $135

can upload the pdf if u want.

some questions:

what is mill 6 cyl block - trade? is it shut & grind new main stud hole?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
