Which Builder To Go With ?

[pineapple]

hey guy's im posting this up because im having problems on deciding who i want to build my motor.

I have been talk to they guys at Garage101 (aka import101) and they have offered to build me a motor.

the only problem is that i have never heard of them since i am in Qld and they are in Wa

as im aiming for a 10 sec motor (i know 10secs is slow these days) and as we all know motors arnt cheap

so i would only like to go dwn this path once but i highly doubt that

so any information good or bad on these guys would be awsome

as the title says im still looking for a builder perfered in Qld but any info would be great on any workshop

good or bad

and also out of curiosity

what machining can you do to your block (bang for buck) and is a must for a bullit proof motor

any info would be great on the two topics

Mark has done heaps of work for the SAU community and has in house engine building facilities...

Most importantly he is a sponsor and is accountable for his work by the SAU community...

101 are good if you're in WA, but as said above, if you're in QLD with one of the best builders........

yas that is very true

the thing is i bought a block off them n they have offered to build it

so it would save me alot of trouble them sending the block to me

then me sending it to some1 else

dose any1 else in wa driving a 10sec car built by 101

also is any1 running Nitto internals

Dan at ERD is worth a look too

Dude, give Mercury Motorsport a call on 3352 3363. They are using Nitto parts throughout their 1000hp 34 gtr. They are by far the best people i have dealt with in the last 6 years of building my car. Could not speak highly enough of them and their work

[pineapple]

were bout is ERD

ya i heard Mercury Motorsport using nitto gear

n all though im 7hr from brisbane i still hear of ppl sending there cars down there

ya its all good to make 1000hp gtr but are the internals realy that good

i thought it was all bout the tune these days

id realy like to hear what combo internals ppl are working for them

dose the cheap stuff work jus as good as the expensive brand

or are u better off paying that bit extra

so far i think mercury are in front

but weres all the dirty detail not ever1 gets a 100% job

Elite Racing Development is at Yatala, south of Brisbane.

Best engine builder I know. So meticulous with his engines!!! And 99% of his engine builds are Rb's

ERD will build you one with what ever parts you like in it!

He may have preferences of course but with my engine he gave me a range of options and i selected which ones best matched my budget and goals

[pineapple]

what do u mean by options

like a package deal kinda thing

what do ERD usaly work with any ways

Whatever you want to work with. if you want nitto he can get it.

Whatever you want to work with. if you want nitto he can get it.

both are good, depends on your goals, you may need to over bore wether you like it or not, there is no real benefit in going out to 40thou though. Talk to builders about your goals, they will help you make decisions regarding parts
