Just wanted to know what everyone else spent on just the engine build. No turbo included. Mines cost $5k for everything in my engine including labor, parts, and installation.

 

Roughly 3k US for me...

 

what engine and what did you have done??? i got my d16y8 completley built bottom for 700

 

Well im planning on taking mines to 400-450whp so i pretty much replaced everything in my engine. Rods/Pistons/Sleeved/Clutch/Valves/ect. I know 700 wouldnt even pay for the parts for my build

 

I haven't added it all up, but it's gotta be over $7000, Dart block, custom RLZ head, custom Wiseco pistons, 95mm crank, cams, full assembly by Howard at RLZ, so much other stuff, and probably half that much again for a custom intercooled supercharger setup, and this is probably my 4th motor build. I spend way too much $ on this ****, but it's fun until it blows up

 

h22 h2b gsr lsd tranny, dss stage 5, tilton twin disc, je 9.0 pist, eagle rods, all parts cryo treated and coated. port polish head, skunk 2 valve train. sc61, love fab mini, tial 50mm bov, 38mm waste, PTE 600 IC coated black, love fab Down pipe. 3inc back with 3inc vibrant muffler...... lots of little parts but total 15k wraped up in the project. It's something you got to have time for. parts break and more money to fix.
