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

quick one, anyone had any experiances with a lawyer and appealing a license disqualification after already having 1 appeal in the previous 5 years?

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.

thanks Dale where's the old man emote

yeah i never properly looked @ the price of 100% everything

you will want solid lifters when revving high and big boost

Michael Woods. You'll have to google the contact details.

I used him (Well, a guy at his firm). Expensive, but saved my license.

Happy b-day Steve.

Adrian, you gonna f**king reply or what? i have been trying to get in contact with you

for the last 4 days..

if theres one thing i hate, its flamin mongrels that dont reply to a simple sms or PM.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
