Engine rebuilt question!!!

[Aya]

Hi all, Planning to get my GTR a engine rebuilt. I dont realli know about what they do with the engine rebuilt, is there anyone can list what they normally do with a GTR engine rebuilt, I mean what u have to change to aftermarket one. And what's the normally cost will be a full engine rebuilt? Just want to have an idea. My friend done his R34 GTR engine rebulit with upgrade RB26 to RB27. It cost like around 20G. I dont want to be like RB27 or RB28 or something, just want to give the engine a new life. And also I serach a few brands that they have the rebuilt kit.

So which one is ppl recommend?

1:JUN

2:Trust

3:HKS

4:MINES (hell price)

5:Tommei (hell price)

6:NISMO (only seen that in Japan)

If you're looking at those brand parts I'd budget somewhere from $10-15K for the engine build depending on specification. Plus turbos/manifolds/fuel etc.

[cameron]

I'll start with the bottom end,

Forged Piston's : Arias - $1450

Forged Rods : Crower - $2100

Crank Shaft: Tomei forged counter weight - $5k +

Machiening & Balancing - $3 - 5k - price will vary depending on what needs to be done.

I would use thoes spacific parts if i was on a tighish budget, but if you want to go nuts go for a HKS/JUN/TRUST/TOMEI stroker - $10k for the piston's/rods/crankshaft.

Then you'r bearings crank shaft main bearing, con-rod bearing

Genuine Nissan bearing kit - $600

Rear Crank shaft seal - $60

New idler bearing $95

New tensioner bearing $45

New Genuine nissan water pump - $150

New Oil Pump - $500?

New Gaskets for oil pump and water pump - $20

Head:

Port & Polish - I'm not sure on price?

Tomei Metal HeadGasket - $450

Tomei Camshafts - $1000

Valve springs - Depending on what lift cam shafts you want to use the price can vary from $500 through to $1400

Upgrade Valve's - ?

Upgrade Lifter's - $700

Valve guide's - $750

Thoes price's are off the top of my head so they could be expensive/less give and take. All that adds up to just short of $20,000, its not until you add up the price of all the little things that makes a engine rebuild expensive!

Theirs proberly more that i've missed.

hope that helps,

why are you thinking about rebuilding? is your engine stuffed?

[Aya]

Just want to do it, give the engine a new life. Coz I'm thinking to put 2530 or 2540 in it. And my car is a R32 GTR. The engine is getting old. Nothing wrong with the engine now.

[Wazz]

if i was you.. i'd only rebuild it once it decides to die people have made 450+rwhp thru stock 26's with the aid of cams tho

but yer your choice..

[600hp]

Speak to JIM from CRD and then have a Talk to Ian at Hi Octane for prices.

[Trust33]

Drive it hard and boost it like a bitch wantn it.Then when it goes **** it off and get the rebuild.

Tracks are a great place to do this.

[DaGr81]

u dont really need an engine rebuild coz like the dude said can make over 460hp with stock internals and if uve seen hi octane 4 and 3 , they go thro a whole rb26 deal and end up doin high 11's without doin a whole rebuild

but if u really wanna blow ur cash then heres how www.hioctaneracing.com.au u can find a whole engine rebuild pack for like 6 - 8 grand , sometimes having japanese parts isnt the best.....

[Aya]

Thanks for everyone's advice. My friend rebuilt his R34 GTR at CRD with fully JUN 2.7 set. He was talking to a lot of shops about rebuilt engine. But finialy he choose CRD to do the work. Tune ECU, get bigger internal, wash everything and things like that. He recommend CRD. But I just woudering to ask ppl in this form who done engine rebuilt with your GTR. Recommend some place as I can choose one to do my engine rebuilt.

[pnblight]

the stock engine if in good shape can make good power reliable

1/wreakhead ~450awkw (10.8sec 1/4mile)

2/rick madsons gtr r33 550rwhp(i have seen it run on a dyno day)

3/mine gtr r33 529.4rwhp

so i would only rebuild when it needs it

[Duncan]

#1 went bang straight after that run

but yeah, don't rebuild until you need to!

[Aya]

So what is another way that my friend told me, just put HKS 2530 in and change dump pipe, front pipe, big cat. Have fun with it for a while, then unitl one day the engine finished. But I just worry about if I do that way, I mean of course I will have big intercooler, radiator upgrade, hard piping work for the 2530. Otherwise its gonna easy to blow engine i believe. So how about the rest of engine parts, If I put 2530 in it, does that mean gonna blow the engine quickly? Or if I do blow the engine after I put 2530 in, is that gonna dammage the turbo as well? Want everyone to give an idea.

I might asking these stupid question, I like my GTR, but I dont know the thing inside the engine, so just want to know that clearly and learn more about it. I have done a lot of research these days with these rebulit parts. read a lots of book. Just want to make the things clear.

[Jago]

this might seem like a stupid thing to ask, but hey, im tired, and i noticed it so yea.

You're talking about the 2530 in singular form, you're only putting one in? Or is it just, uhm, a typo?

[ferni]

he will mean 2 x 2530...

Aya: The car should handle 2530's fine as long as its tuned right and doesn't ping, injectors, powerFC and 2530s, with a good tune, should be fine.

[Aya]

Sorry about the misunderstanding. My english isn't that good. I just try to explain what I want to say. oF course for the 2530 that I had now are twin. I just bought a Tommei RB26 engine rebulit magzine. It is realli mad... but only got japanese version. It is not only tell the step and also with all the pics show in it. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to understand all of these things. But yeh! I will talk to CRD next week and see what they said...

[CerealKiller]

try Unique Autosports as well http://www.nismo.com.au

I would rebuild until the engine dies. Best way to do that is on a track day or down the strip

[Trust33]

Woot.
