Morning All, 

I've managed to get a couple of quotes for engine builds and can summarise as follows:

- atomic 698 long ~ $13k

- TBRE long ~ $15k

 

Question is, what's a reasonable price to pay for a mid range build? I've seen as low as $7k for your standard ross/spool combo. I'd have thought $10k would be reasonable, but that doesn't seem to cut it if you want the head tidied up, new timing gear and quieter pistons. 

I'm in SE QLD, so maybe away from some of the proven expertise down in Melb and Adelaide. 

My motor is currently fine, but planning for future! 

Thanks, 

Experts in Adeliade ? 

 

 

lol

If I was in the east I would be going to Melbourne. Not much in SA

Dynomite?

I'd consider selling my spare short engine for 8.5k. It's pretty much a 998 spec short with a Torrington set up. That would give you a lot of room for head work and have a better engine...

 

 

Throw in that box of chipboard screws and ya have deal.

Would love to throw that in my BA series 2 but I just spent some coins on fixing a diff bolt failure.

To spend 8.5k worth of engine upgrade plus a shed load on strengthen everything behind it.

Mal Wood clutch $$$

IMS diff hat to stop bolt snapping.

700 hp short shafts

Chasing the dragon..

Although it does look damn cool layed out like that. Soooo tempting.

Hey man, tried to send you a message, but your inbox must be full? 

Give Colin Lloyd at Headsense a call.

Even better go and see him and run through some options with him.

Thanks mate, will do. 

 

So Maxx Performance do pretty much exactly what I'm looking at for $10,400.

 

Ive spoken to Dynomite and haven't got a price yet, but advised I should do fire rings from the start. 

 

Broad array of pricing around, that's for sure. 

What type of turbo are you looking to max out? Gearbox? End goals?
