Just got quoted $2900 to take all accs of and pull motor out/apart, fit rods and pistons, check everything and reassemble everything/drop motor back in and including all fluids. so pretty much $5500 total including rods and pistons + check tune on dyno. Sound about right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/07/10 09:14 AM Share Posted 16/07/10 09:14 AM at least! I done the sums on my build the other night. 15 g's for 370rwkw. Dont know how so many people get to this level of power so cheaply. And that is power mods only, not servicing and tyres etc. In hindsight a built atomic motor would have been the go, and then I could have also sold my f6 motor. But oh well, sh*t happens. Wow I came up at about 7k on a BF2 engine without tuning time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What machining do they intend on doing? I spent about 4k in machining and balancing the bottom end alone, albeit with the intention of 1000+hp.

But just wanted to get a rough idea on labour costs and so fourth. Think I'll wait as I'm moving to Adelaide or possibly aubury/woodonga end of this year anyway.
