hey guys im new to perth an looking for good engine machinest/builder that isn't way over priced. too build a strong forged an balanced sr20 det short motor. i have all the parts already so just looking for a place to go an wondering what everyones thoughts an expirences are.... cheers guys.... any advice will be helpfull ;):thumbsup::cheers:

There's not too many places that do machining and building, apart from some of the bigger V8 workshops. There is a Consolidated Workshop thread with a list of numerous workshops around http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...hr-t191756.html. I'd try Kensei Garage as they specialise in Silvia's, but will most likely send it out to be machined.

Midland Engine Centre on Military Road... Very close family friend who has built my last 2 engines, and many other race cars. Very good engine builder, not too pricey and good turn around time.

Do they do there own machining too ?

Heinz engineering. Justin will machine and build your engine. Not remove and fit tho.

Nope, cant remember the mob who does the machining. But its a big player, will ask tonight if you like.

Ask to speak to John Preece, he will pull motor out of car, build it, and get it running again. Obviously it will be a lot more expensive if he does the engine swap for you.

Southside engine center are golden

perfectionists with a reasonable price

they did all the machining and balancing on my motor and now my dad is going to get his done there too.

Best person to speak to i Neil part owner.

even came over my house after work when we had a few problems with the build.

A++++++!

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
