cost of putting together a motor
 

Just running through a few things, looking my 'parts list' over before I start buying ----, does this look about right? Plan is to build a D16Z6 with the vitara/rod combo shoot for 350-400hp. Not doing another HF manifold/sidemount set-up.

block 50
FJ rebuild kit 300
FJ rods 322
engine cleaning/honing/etc 150
Manifold 400
turbo 400
WG 100
oil line 85
intercooler 100
bov 85
down pipe 100
exhaust 150
clutch 200
cam gear 100
misc ---- 200

not gonna do this without putting in a LSD
300+ install fees

total, I am looking at about $3000-
this is buying new stuff, and rounded off prices. Of course a few things could change here and there, but is this a rough estimate for a GOOD build with a new motor?

Yes it's good. Spend a little bit more on the clutch, say at least $250

+1

Also, id avoid the cdm wastegates, ive seen nothing but fail from them. Find a good used one for the win, if you wernt planning that already.
I found a sweet old school turbonetics delta gate for $70. :6

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

yeah, I might have to rethink this option. :-\

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

you mean the deltacreep? you're a ------- retard. i've used a bunch of the ebay wastegates, they work fine. just take them apart and make sure they are together correctly, just like EVERY other china part.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

Lets not get into the china debate ----. Everything in this ------- country with the exception of beer is made in china.

Ive had the exact opposite experience from what you just stated. To each their own I suppose.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

putting it together yourself?

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

yes

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

are you going with 0.20 over vitara's? if you are i would expect machine work to be a little more than $150. i think i paid about $400 to have my z6 block bored 0.20, honed, decked and hot tanked. then again it all depends on what your local shop charges.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

I can have it done on base, very cheap.

real clutches are 300+



I bought a twin disc to ---- the bull ----

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

ive never ran anything other than a f1 spec ebay clutch and never had any problems. for whatever I end up doing, building a turbo motor or putting together my motor from okinawa, it will be another ebay clutch

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

It got that name because it was sold on the original Drag kits, whose manifold exit was the real cause of the creep. Also, it was commonly touted most Deltagates didn't creep until you opened them up to change springs, which translates to a bunch of young riceboys pinched the diaphragm during reassembly because they were ------- fools. It's probably the first bandwagon, and is the reason TiAL is so successful today.... when TiAL first came out nobody knew anything about them, they just knew they weren't going to run a deltagate.

BTW, you're the retard :1

Cdm wastegate for $50; http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/...id/0/SFV/31982

Your drive like a little girl then if you your not breaking those spray painted ebay oem pressure plates.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

I had an Ebay clutch, 6 puck, in my CRX and a stage II fiber type in my 4 door Civic. Both slipped early on. I will never make that mistake again.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

better make it 800 :-X

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

I couldn't find a "d" series twin disc.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

maybe clutchmasters

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

install the lsd yourself. if you can build a motor yourself, you can definitely intall an lsd

Re: cost of putting together a motor

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

I was just off the phone with a buddy of mine. He swore alot of the old school 10 sec guys were running these clutches

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

Got off the phone with head engineer at ram clutches. He said that they stopped with the development of that clutch due to lack of desire from the market. I may try to find one and have my machinist build them since he seemed pretty much turned off from the import world.

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

i cant remember off the back of my head whaty i spent on my build but i have to say the most important part was the machine work
I went with 76mm vitaras and used Hbeams from ebay. Its held up fine so far. I dont beat on it but it sure drives fine with only 240hp so far. My goal is to reach 300 so when i have time and more money i will up the boost and get some bigger injectors.

Im running the Ching chong waste gate and it holds 17 psi steay with a MBC i have. Turbo is also ching chong aswell as the manifold.

I love orange chicken so i support its CDM parts aswell. Holler!

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

dont forget all the other crap, 2 bar map, fuel injectors, fuel pump, tune. my budget d series went from 10psi on a 14b to 17psi on a 16g with a completely rebuilt motor...

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

While you have it apart might as well add a

Water Pump
Oil Pump

You probably meant that under *misc ----....which should also include every gasket and seal new

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

Gaskets are included with the fjt kit

Re: cost of putting together a motor
 

misc:



blown motor
3 broken d series transmission
5 ebay painted clutches

Re: cost of putting together a motor
