well i wanna start building my bottom end for my turbo set up, im new to this and dont really know what to do besides sleeves, what all do i need to do to build a reliable bottom end that will hold up for a long time??

 

you will need a good set of rods (Pauter, Manley, Eagle if running moderate power), forged pistons (many to choose from), good machine work

 

Are you getting the work done locally or? I sent my block to ERL. They put the JE pistons in, Manley Rods, Sleeves, ect ect.

 

Depending on horse power goals ERL has several different packages for rotating assembles to chose from. You can check out our website and go to the engine catalog to get some good info. Also we have tech articles that help understand our sleeving/machining methods.

 

about how much did that cost you 2bar?

 

You can expect 2000+ for an assembled bottom end.

 

ERL, Laskey, GE.. seen/heard good stuff from all

 

Roughly $3900 with the ARP bolts and the cometic gasket.

I attached a page with some of their prices.

Also you can see the details of each short block package they have in the link below. Check out page 10, which is the "C2" package.
