Hello zed peeps. Just wondering how much,approx,an engine rebuild on my '91 tt would set me back? cheers.

Ask Duffers ;)

Depends a lot on what you want doing. Stock rebuild? Forged internals? Bigger tubs etc?

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

just a basic stock rebuild,really to get the engine running perfect

So new bearings, new rings etc?

 

Just rebuild or including removal and refit?

 

Soooooooo may questions lol

removal and refit also,i understand just to remove the engine and refit will set me back a grand?

Duffers ?

Nah bud, that seems a bit steep to have it removed and refitted!

I recently had mine rebuilt and it set me bk around £500.

£500 sounds very very low, I've never seen a price for it but i was guessing about 4 times that otherwise i would get it done straight away....

£500-£600 is typical for engine removal and refit.

 

I would say of the top of my head around £2k to remove, standard rebuild and refit for all parts and labour.

 

That would include Full gasket/seal kit. Piston rings. Bearings. Oil pump. 60k parts.

 

Depends on what is wrong with current engine too. If you want to get the block and heads inspected properly then you would need to budget for additional engineering costs.

 

Sorting out possiblel damage from Overheating, excess boost, oil stavation..etc would put the price up.

 

Contact a few specialists for prices - Andy Duff, Jimmer, Ztech ..etc

£1500 including parts? LOL where are you buying them from?

adding up in my head did'nt go to well there ..I did'nt leave much room there for labour LOL

 

The trouble is when most people go for a rebuild you end up spending a lot more than planned......Once engine is out you might want Turbos checked...and then upgraded, Forged pistons are only a few hundred more than stock rings, ....but then you need engine hone or rebore, may as well fit some bigger injectors...and then you need a new ecu remap how about new efi loom, det sensor....cometic heat gaskets.......then oh dear your very very poor LOL

i always assumed around 4k for an engine rebuild with uprated internals, and that was before new tubs, it sounds a lot cheaper than i thought

I spent arount £6.5K for a full rebuild, crankshaft damage repaired, heads skimmed, blocked bored, 555 injectors and a set of turbo's!

Quickly quickly deteriorates your bank balance!

il be doing that soon :)

just saving the pennies :)

A standard rebuild is fine but id advise you to fit forged pistons as at a later date if you want to up the boost and chip the car youll kick yourself when the ring lands part company with your pistons.

What about a slightly uprated N/A?

No need to go to forged pistons on an N/a with mild upgrades.If the bores and pistons are within tolerance then a hone with new rings will be fine.

Beat me to it! For the price of set of rings the wisecos aren't much more
