VSR Engine Build
 

Hey just a little update for you guys and Cosmogirl.

We blueprinted the engine and it came out liked factory. VERY happy with the spec's.
From the pic's you can see the new CP 10:1 & K1 Rods

Very nice. Do you think you could shoot me a pm with an approximate cost to build me one? I don't need one now, but if I ever need a new motor I'll be damned if I don't upgrade while I'm at it.

Same boat. A PM would be much appreciated!

Ditto! I still have my Z. :p

May as well add me to that list. Maybe group buy?

Group Buy anyone?

I wouldn't be interested in a group buy, since I'd rather not have to store it until I need it. I was just hoping to get a price quote and the turnaround time. I've been following Cosmo's build, so I'm familiar with the specs.

Yeah. Can you please PM me pricing on what a ballpark estimate would be like to build a setup similar to Cosmogirl's?

Thank you in advance! :tup:

I'm not that familiar with what goes into an engine build but could you please PM me also with costs and timing as well? Just for reference.

For an "engine build" does it mean upgraded/strengthen:

-Rods
-Pistons
-Studs?
-Head? Top of motor? needed?
-Bottom? lower portion of motor? needed?

This is all I know about building an engine for more boost.

Keep in mind with internal parts there are less expensive ways to go that will be fine. Off the shelf pistons will be a lot less than custom ones. I' planning on doing a full write up on everything when on my built motor when it's all together and running to give you guys some peace of mind...

Talk about bad timing. :( The company I work for is up for sell. :( So I'm watching my pennies for now.

Is this motor gonna be boosted?

... Yeah... From the guy who only puts like 10 miles a year on his car... SMH... You blow... Wear out your motor in... 90 years...



Lol!!! Just giving you shít

tempting......gonna have to pm you guys!

Yes

Block Guard Blocks
 

This is something I'm considering doing to the VQ platform. We are having great success with our Subaru Blocks! ETS made 830hp on our block, PRS WRC Rally car with NO wastegate came in first place. These are not just off the shelf press in guards. We actually machine the block and deck it. Let me know if there is a market for them..Thanks!

Has anybody else gotten a quote from these guys?

I never did.

Nope

Nope.

What are you guys waiting for?

We have money burning a hole in our pockets and we're waiting on a price tag for an engine build lol.

Waiting on your build! Wanna see and read ur review on ur experience with them.

You can best believe the review will be honest and thorough. VSR does not sponsor me in any way nor giving me any discounts or perks on this transaction.

sub'd!

yea id like a quote to on this type of build...

Why the high compression???

Are you asking about the 10:1 pistons? It increases the the low boost performance by raising pressures to spool the turbos faster and provide more torque, of course anyone going over 15psi would be better off with the current 9:1 offerings as eventually with more boost the higher ratio is going to raise pressures too high. but for the guys in the 550-700 range it will be a more efficient built motor.

At high power levels the 9:1 motor will see less stress than the 10:1 motor, but the 10:1 more will make more power for the amount of charge it gets.

I never understood why the price can't be out in the open. Why send a private pm?

^ yea I'm not sure why. I guess to some ppl it's too personal

Some people get better prices by being smooth talkers.

Or by giving back alley handies....I like to try and smooth talk.....first....

I did mention a group buy and no one responded.
For a response if you guys are interested in a group buy.

I want to help save you guys from a 3rd degree burn...I can do that!!

No smooth talk....just the handy...just don't look into my eye's.


To make a estimate I need more info from you guys.

1) Rebuild your current engine?
2) New bare block from Nissan?
3) Does everyone want the same CP Pistons
4) K1 Rods?
5) Cryo treatment?
6) L19's
7) Balance?
8) Build a short Block? Or long Block
9) Are you shipping the car down for the install

Building estimates are very time consuming and each and every one of you could want something different. I post up some prices for a brand new short block.

plus if we do a group buy, you guys will receive a better price on the pistons and rods.

I look forward to building all you guys a engine
Thanks
Bobby

Like I said before, no interest on a group buy. I would hope you would be open to selling me a built short block without the group buy. I was hoping to get a quote to recreate Cosmo's build with a fresh block, and also if I shipped you my block.

Ok, will do. can you PM me your email address? I will shoot you over a estimate.

Since I am local I would just let you use my current block. I like cosmos build as well. Almost forgot any alleys near the new shop? I haven't made it out to it yet.

hahahahahahahahah:rofl2:

By the way how soon are you guys looking to do a build?

No time soon for me. I just want a number in mind if I ever need to do it.

Closed deck goodness! I would be interested. Is this something that you can do now if I were to send you a block or is R&D needed for our blocks?

Doesn't the Z run hot anyway? How much more heat are we going to be dealing with on a closed deck block?
