Rb25/30 Engine Build

[CAT_SPEW]

I've had a search through here and couldn't really find what I'm after. I'm considering building up a 25/30 but wanted to know what the cost will be roughly?

To give you an idea I will be after around 350rwkw once it's all done. Basically what I need is to get the engine built properly with all the necessary parts for that power, then I will be able to put the engine in myself.

So can anyone on here who has had some experience with doing this please give me a rough price on the build by itself? Not including turbo/fuel system/ tuning etc.

Cheers, Matt.

By the time you get pistons, rods, crank collar, N1 pump, ported head, valve springs, rings and bearings id say about 6-7k assembled, then cams on top.

Rods & rod bolts - $900

Pistons kit - $1400

Studs top and bottom - $450

Head gasket - $220

N1 Oil pump - $600

New water pump, timing belt, assorted gaskets, seals and other ancillary shit - $300

Machining, balancing, grinding, skimming etc - $1500 - $3000 depending on how psycho you get

Assembly - varies dramatically as well

Find a machine shop that your happy with and ask them - that will give you a starting point. Others will fill in gaps i've missed no doubt.

Yeh that is around what I was guessing, can anyone suggest a good machine shop around Bris/Gold Coast that has had some experience building 25/30's?
