GTR Rebuild TIME

[Boosting]

Hey gent's today i got a compresstion test to bring my worst dreams to life.

First 3 cyclinders are at 125psi last 3 at 160psi.

So its time for a rebuild and yes when we did a wet and dry test. The cyclinder pressure did rise back to 160.

My question is how much should i expect to pay for a normal rebuild nothing fansy.

Just new pistions, rings maybe rods bearings all the usual stuff. I just want something stronger then standard. that will get me low 11's it already did a 12.1 standard, i do have n1's on it now with power fc zorst cooler and all the goodies.

Pritty much just want a engine stronger then standard with out the bill of a race car.

Can it be done for around 5g (bottem end)

I guess you can build the motor to spool that T04Z now

This topic has been covered numberous time if you do a search, basically once you take into account the parts, machining and assembly you will be looking in excess of $5K quite easy, to which degree depends on what parts you will be using. Even with a budget build with just new pistons, bearings, gaskets if you are to do it properly.

Yeah i know just hoping here ok and as for that hs turbo its out the window im just going some 34 n1's now when the rebuild gets done im just fishing to see what ppl have paid.

Boosting - you have PM - $5K is WAY under budget I think

[fatz]

do it all yourself and you could get away with 5 k

just had my RB26 rebuilt by John Hill performance engineering, ported the head, new cams, timing gears, forged pistons, shot peened rods rebuilt water & oil pump, fully ballanced. modified sump, 650hp engine and he has a great reputation for his work charged me $7200

$5000 not too far off.

WORD of advice go to someone with a good Rep, there are too many 20yr old experts out there!!!

Dam this is a good price having smillair build but with rods for twice the cost. was this a drive in drive out price

[R31Nismoid]

i'd aim for around 8-9.5k for something decent.

that includes motor in and out... and a set of Rods, not the stock ones prepped up a bit

[R32-GTS]

for a proper rb26 rebuild including new valve guides , rods , and pistons... Start at 10k and go up and up and up and up. If you think im joking get it done and you will see.

[BoOsTeD_RB26]

My only advice is don't get carried away. Yes you can spend 10k on a motor, and yes it will be cool. But why build an 800hp motor if your only aiming for something like 500hp.

Spend the money you save on other important bits like a fuel system etc.

I went around a fair few repair shops for some repair prices, like a few my RB26 spun a bearing approx 2 months after purchase, (direct from Japan)

After some recearch i found out that a few shops were contracting out their rebuilds to JHH I found him great to bounce ideas off, eg N1 oil & Water pumps sump baffells and turbo setups. My main goal was 500rwhp BULLETPROOF, daily driven,

The total cost for engine in&out will be approx $8000, "Race clutch" from Jim berry $900.

with fuel pump,injector,intercooler,computer,oilcooler&remote mount, diff oilcooler,gearbox oilcooler to follow after initial bedding in.

Thanks guys and yes now i got my loan of 10k so all i need to do is find some one who is gonna build me what i want at a decent price, second thing is my gearbox needs a rebuild to syncros are gone is there such thing as heavy duties for gtr boxs.

Oh oh oh i almost forgot how much power could i make with 34n1's or would it be better to go hks 2540's i dont want a big single how much boost should i run shoul di get a thiker head gasket.

R34 N1 rated at 320hp ea.

Since you are in brisbane have a talk to mike vine turbochargers, (capalaba) been around turbos for a ages, maybe a little pricey but his turbo selection is second to none,

I went for a pair of his Gibson Motorsport spec T28, AWSOME!!!!

HKS head gasket good around $350. bit pricey!!
