hello everyone. basically, i plan to rebuild my motor in the future so i can go turbo . right now i have a 92 gsr with 165k miles on it. i was wonderin if anyone knew about how much an engine rebuild will cost me on average...(btw i meant average cost for a shop to do the rebuild, not myself ) but yeh, any ideas on average costs??? thanks for the help and have a nice day (feel free to ask further questions)

also, wat items are usually replaced when doin a rebuild??

 

Stock rebuild ~900 bucks, they don't replace stuff unless it's broken, just grind it down.

If you want to build it up all the price depends.

 

nah..i just wanna have it rebuilt, as to where it'd be safe for boosting around 7-9 psi and as daily driver (also, wat does "grind it down" mean?? )

 

This is just to give you an idea of what is involved and is not all inclusive!

Econo rebuild, lol, usually replace rod and main bearings, piston rings, gaskets and seals.

Better rebuild would be to check the pistons, rods, crank, cylinders, block, and head to see if reconditioning or replacement is necessary. Many rebuilders will have the crank micro-polished and balanced, and replace oil and water pumps, timing belt and tensioner, rod bolts, and head and main studs. Also they should check the condition of flywheel and clutch while everything is apart.

The head could need new valves, valve springs, retainers, valve guides, valve seals, valve job, and a mill to insure flatness. The block could need boring, honing, milling and the threads all retapped and oil and coolant passages cleaned out.

And if your building for performance, many items will be upgraded and can be costly. And some will have the rotating assembly balanced.

Ok, that was just to give you an idea of what is involved, hope this helps you out.
