depends on who you get to build, and parts price list

a while a go i got quoted 2k machine work on a bottom end increasing the capacity to a 3lt, i couldnt afford the whole route so i have put it off

add in another 1k for pistons, 1k for balancer to rev to 8k, few other bits and pieces 6k is achievable

plus camsad valve springs $1000+

rods $800+

head gasket $300+

as you said above it depends who builds it

you go for a cheap build then u gonna get what u payed for

i had mine built by peter Hall when he was at Willall hence the price i paid n i supplied a few of the parts aswell

this builder was confirmed through Martin

i have heard a lot of reports of who not to build with and there reputable builders (cant mention names)

i don't believe you really need rods for 400kw

Heslo picked up his metal head gasket at a steal for $220 delivered for an ACL job, right place right time

how much should i budget for a fully forged engine rebuild? i want a 8000rpm rev limit with enough to produce 400rwkw safely (not that im gonna use it).

Depends whether your going to go solid head or not? As i'm quickly finding out setting up a solid head with double valve springs will double the cost of the build.

If your planning on pulling those revs constantly (i.e. the car will live on the track) then i would suggest going this route.

Still cos' i'm swinging my own spanners my build is costing me less than paying someone to build a Basic Mild CA.

This is my CA cost so far;

Pistons and Headgasket (bundled) $760

SPOOL Rods with ARP Studs $500

ARP head & Main Studs as well as ACL race series Main and big end bearings $440.

Power Bond underdriven Balancer $250

Oil Pump $180

Machining, balancing, blueprinting $1100

=$3230

The Head Parts still to buy;

Solid Lifters $400

Shim Kit $200

Retainers $250

Springs $350

Viton VS Seals $120

EPP Valve Guides $120

Tomie 260 x 10.25 & 272 x 10.25 Cams $650

Head porting/machining $500

=$2590

Misc' $800

Nistune $500 (With cable)

Vacuum Pump for custom breather system $300

Total = $6620

Then factor in the cost when i change the turbo over to the GT3071 $1900

External Gate $600

Custom Exhaust manifold $1000 (I'm actually going to spend $1000 on my own TIG and make it myself)

Fuel pumps for E85 $500

Injectors $500

Bigger cooler, piping & surge tank $300 (I'll be using the TIG to make the piping and the tank)

= $4800

Final Total = $11420

This package will make a responsive 300rwkw, and the bottom end will be able to take 700BHP. But as you can see the costs quickly add up.

And as you can see the step from 250rwkw to 300rwkw (When i add the GT3071R and the stiff below that) it nearly doubles the cost.

So now you can see why i'll be rebuilding a hydraulic head and using that with my HKS 264 x 9.0 cams initially with the GT2871R until i can source the other (expensive) parts.

Now start getting quotes for a 25 build and see how much more expensive it is than a CA.
