best place for a forged rebuild?

[mattymr2]

my rev 3 turbo engine needs a rebuild due to a cracked piston in cylinder 3.

the cars always been warmed up and cooled down and has had 2 oil changes in 4000 miles in the 2 and half years of onwership.

i am now deciding wether to break it, source a second hand engine and have an engine transplant, or have my current one fully rebuilt.

i have had a quote from rogue, drive in and out basic rebuild with forged pistons for around £3000....

who out theres had rebuilds? whos good value? sbits? 3s?


thanks

matt

If it was me I'd go with Rogue

[b4rk3r]

3 grand seems good for a forged engine. Anohter vote for rogue aswell

[Razor04]

3S would be my choice depends where your located really. The're in basingstoke

[skipp123]

my 3s build has been faultless and great prices too pm me if you want further info

i got all my gaskets/service items from jeffd
all performance parts from xxxx
and all put together by james and the boys at 3s
fueling and map put together by ryan at 2bar

everythings been fine since

[Rev 3 Kris]

my choice would be rogue set price engine build with parts from momentum

[sutton]

I know tim at xxxx has some good deals too, Nathan at century motorsport? And luke at pacific works

[prosser]

sbits is meant to be good it depends on your buget really becasue there is a man called john from daventry meant to be really good but abit pricey from what ive heard and i havent heard any bad words against rogue

I would hate to be in this position, £3000 for a rebuild OR buy a complete 2 for £3000, swap parts over and then strip the rest for parts to make some money back OR put the £3000 towards a newer Rev5

[Race Idiot]

I bought a mint low mileage rev4 motor for about £900 from Gts chris, bought a load of gaskets and other bits and then had Luke @ pacific fit it all.

It might work out even cheaper for you because I went from a rev2 motor to the rev4 one, so I had to get a loom and other ancillaries, sensors, ecu etc which upped the cost for me. If you already have a rev3 car you will only need the longblock anyway.

If you arent going for megapower I dont see the point in a forged build realy.

most of the cost is labour, , extortionate if you ask me but that's the mechanics game,

i have a rev3 turbo engine i am about to split, think bry wanted first dibs but i am going to be sending him a pm to see, are you able to drop the engine yourself mate ?

[Greddy-Matt]

Yeah but it is pretty labour intensive + I shudder to think what Toyota would charge for an engine change let alone a rebuild @ £75 an hour +VAT!!!!

I feel for you chap I'm in the same boat at the moment

[toxo]

I'd be talking to Century Motorsport or Rogue personally...

[chron]

my advice would be to try and do most of the work yourself if you can, drop the engine, strip is, and send away parts to be done by pros if necessary. that's essentially what i'm doing right now and so far its been a breeze.

just my 2p

Another vote for Patrick, Matt, Tony and Lyndon at Rogue. They built me a beauty and kept me up to date with regular pics and info. Was consulted all the way through the process and given options as well.
Here are a few pics of their handiwork.

hi matt

are you going for a forged build? where are you going for it?

[craig_mr2_mk1]

I would speak to Nathan @ Century. Very reasonably priced and someone I would trust do work on my Car.

Craig.

[mattymr2]

can i not just replace the damaged piston if the bore isnt damaged?

not really sure, but do i actually need a full rebuild?

[Greddy-Matt]

hi matt

Hi
I think I've sourced a pre built lump, so fingers crossed I'll have it in by the time the world record attempt rolls around

Pacific Works forged engines are all built by Nathan @ Century motorsport
