ek4 Engine rebuilds

[Limbo]

Hi just wanted some feedback from ek4 drivers in relation to standard engine rebuilds for our b16a

Main thing is where you got it done, how much it cost and if you think it was a good job. Also any tips you might have in relation to rebuilds. Looking at the cost/effeciency VS a performance rebuild

[hyrpm]

give hannys in smithfield a call they do pretty cheap std rebuilds

[PHAT1]

if tou want rebuild its cheaper to get a second hand engine.it depends on how much work you want done.ranges from $2k to$10k totally upto you.second hand is about $1500

[misteR_bilzz]

i dont think thats correct PHAT1.

TODA is offering STD rebuilds for b16 and b18s from $3000..

if u were to get a workshop like hannys or something im sure you could get cheaper.

Cost would be abouts 3-3.5k. Our type R motor has been rebuilt, i would have to say the quality is good, made the power which a stock R motor would do out of factory.

no point, sell me your motor cheap and get a b18c =)

what makes you think you need a rebuild ?

Spun a bearing ?
Coming up to 250,000kms ?

rebuilding it is better than buyin secnd hand as the rebuilt engine will be like new and you dont know how good the second hand engine is and like said give hannys a call standard rebuild should be a bit over $1000 not over $2000 as i asked for my crx and he quoted $1200

[chrisyuym]

I would prefer to rebuild my engine rather than getting a 2nd hand one, cost you never know if the 2nd engine that u go for may have the same or even more serious problem than urs.
and one guy said is true, to rebuild urs can make sure it will work like new.(at least have 90-95% new. and what if u buy the shit 2nd engine and the money u need to spend for the labour will be a lot! so, think twice!!

nothing wrong with engine. Just wondering if i turboed it and blew the engine how much it would cost to rebuild it.

Was only gonna run 6PSI max boost so wasn't gonna rebuild the engine now.

SO i though i'd ask if anyone actually rebuilt their engines, and their opinions

depends on how you "blow" the engine..

broken rod through the block?
melted piston?
cracked piston?
scuffed cylinders from broken ringlands?
burnt valves?

too many variables for a blown engine scenario for anyone to give a re-build cost.

Budget anywhere from $1000 upwards to get hannys to get it sorted

:thumbsup: to above
hole through the block will cost alittle more.. new sleeves cost abit too for it to be done coreectly.. ringlans are the cheapest...

take your pick

just the usual ring blown, high oil consumption.
I'm only looking at little boost so just a worn engine rebuild
