Im rebuilding my b18c1 soon for boost, i had a friend who was going to install all parts for me since he works at an import shop here in town....well unfortunatly he died along with his best friend in a bike accident this week, RIP, and now im going to have to pay for installation by some other stop...anybody know how much its go to be for this install...

CP 9:1 81mm pistons
Eagle Rods
ACL bearings
ARP Main Studs
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Studs
Cometic Head Gasket

i think thats everything...i will be supplying all parts, anybody have ideas on how much its going to cost?

 

well depende on the shop ful rebuild here in CT is around 900 to 1500

sorry to hear about your friend my he RIP

 

hmm...900 is steep...

any other input guys?

 

*note* its a lil inflated up here cause theres not many shop around here that like working on "JAP CRAP"

 

600-700 id say. i know people that have gotten most of that stuff (not all) installed for around 500 so thats what im basing my estiamte on.

that would be ideal...im gunna call around for estimates soon...

 

when you find out post it. id be interested to know.

 

u can cut cost by haveing a friend that knows what hes talking about call and have work done by different shops.

u can have the pistons install to the rods 4 30 if u take that in by itself first

then take the block appart and take the crank in and have then balance then and have then plastic gauge it 4 $200

then u can take the pistons with the connecting rods in and have another shop hone the cylinders and gap the rings 4 about 60-80

 

i think im going to call the place that im getting tuned at to see if they install...

ill post up some prices when i find them out..

 

Damn; don't look for the cheapest place you can find!!!!

Ask people in your area where they would recommend (don't even talk about cost at this point).

Then go by the shops (check out several) and talk to them about the cost. The big thing here isn't really about getting a price, but to see how the shop is run and what type of equipment they have! Are they working on the floor putting stuff together, or do they have a clean work space. Do they have a press, or do they just hammer in wrist pins? Are items that are waiting to be worked on clearly tagged as to who they belong too and what work is to be done on them. Are there "work orders" pressent or do they just do it on the fly?

You have a sizable amount of money spent on parts and a "cheap" shop could damage them. And to make it worse, they could damage them in a way that they don't break until you have the motor running, and it trashes the whole thing.

Take the time to save up the money to have a good shop do the work!!!!!!!
