There are plenty of great engine builders in Australia.
Danny, if you really want to know one, and you really want a high output Honda engine, PM me and I can put you onto our engine builder. He is doing our RB31DETs, highest of which makes 1300bhp, and has previously done our 2litre B18. If you really want to do it, keep it local. Its cheaper and just as reliable. And you'll get more power for your money, IMO
hm...i have seen heard bad stuff about tuning places
and so my faith have decreaesed well i am not saying that ur a dodgy bastard..
i am saying parts bought out and having a performance shop fitting stuff in? i dont really trust it
but toda like spoon, mugen or JUN is a respectable brand.....i aint talking about u guyz making ur motor it's for the people who buy parts and get installed by sum dodgy people...
oh yeah and reliablilty is a big issue for me :P
This ain;t dodgy. They build some of the most respected boat engines i the country. We have been using this engine builder for a very long time. He is the man. As for tuning, DynoDave is the man.
Don't just look at the big brand names. A lot of those companies outsource.
There is a lot of good stuff around, and a lot more coming from the US (such as Isky valve springs now made for B series engines, and JE pistons). Seriously, I would not be buying a crate engine. I personally do not believe they are any better. I have had involvement with a Jun crate engine, and it wasn;t so flash. The spoon engine was replacing it, until he gave up and sent it to an engine builder. I can not recomened the engine builder enough.

That's life isn't it?
Some people are clueless... Others are not...
It's up to you to decide who's who in the zoo...
Fact is there are places in Australia that are more than capable of strapping together excellent engines... The other side of that is that there are others out there who aught never touch engines...
Various consumer protection agencies exist for this exact reason…
If you’ve been shonked & you’ve got a case…
The MVRAC (NSW) is there to help you out…
If you still can’t trust anyone here and simply must outsource the engine build to Japan… Good for you…
If you're not interested in a reliable alternative to your beloved Spoon engine…
So be it... I can't make you change your mind...
The offer is there if you or others want it...
In any case, here are a few tips to help you get by...
The only thing the cheapest guy in the industry really knows...
Is what his time is actually worth...
Combination is everything but nothing without good tuning...
Cleanliness is next to godliness... How clean is your favourite workshop?
Function should always come before form; strangely form comes with function...
There are no tuning secrets, only bad memories...
Common sense isn't really common at all...
*scribbles down in notepad...*.... Wise words. :nod:
It's all true
Adrian, can i ask if the red ITR that u built with the motec turbo system was done by u when u were toda au or as hypertune?
That was way back when, in early 2000...
So yeah, I was still half of Hypertune at that stage...
That was when I was working with Mark...
Strange question... Why do you ask?
id better take it to Pm :)
