just wondering what parts would i need pistons rods etc and what should it roughly cost for all the parts and labour just a rough idea
I got most of my parts from Ross W and in the end it cost me about 2.5k and that was for 1000bhp rods and pistons, knife end crank, acl bearings arp studs (main and head),full engine gasket set. machine work done at Anderson race enignes, then I built it myselfused millers oil for running in, and very happy with the results.

what else do you get jamie for the 6.5k?
Should have added dial in cams/map ecu/5lts of synthetic oil and oil filter/MR headgasket/new timing belt/balance shaft eliminator kit/new timing belt tensioner and pulleys you know how much work is involved in doing a full stroker build.what else do you get jamie for the 6.5k?
id want the car:razz:
yes i do know as i did my own, still think you can get all the parts you mentioed for less than 3k and then you got the remap. i know enginetuner charges 3.5k for his drive in drive out deals
Fair do's let him crack on I am building a stroker engine for a guy that bought a car that he had done a rod job on I will say no more.
I wasn't slagging you off but wondered what the extra was for, especially as not all the parts were listed the earlier post as this is what I had and rough prices
Wiesco pistons, BC Pro I rods, knite edge crank £1500
ACL bearings £120
ARP main and head studs £160
MR head gasket £45
block rebore, deck and hone £180
Head decoked, skimmed, replace 2 valve guides £120
Kelford cams ( already had ) £450
Piper pulleys (already had ) £100
Reused oil pump (as only done 25k) £245
Balance removal kit £60
Full engine gasket set £250
Gates timing belt £40
Tensioner £120
oil filter + oil £50 x 3
ok so parts ~= £3550
Remap (did it myself) but say £500
and it took about 25 to pull apart and put back together and back in the car
so that equates to ~ £120 an hour
i'm defo in the wrong business
do you polish and port the head also? or add anything else to the list?
a lot less that thatSo basically And, what you are saying is that your build, including the mapping side of things equated to a total of £4000???
When was this carried out???
El
No I dont port the head I missed a new water pump off.
