greenbluewoo turbo build ''list''

Daft Art did a damn nice job on the engine mount.... you should consider powder coating it to protect it as you don't want it to rust.

After all.... who knows if or when he will get back into fabricating parts.

How did you make out with the piston clearance issue ?

Going to try and run it as is or do you plan to have the bore diameters increased ?

[greenbluewoo]

I still want get the bore fixed still have to check the clearance do you know how much it would cost to have the bore increased and everything balanced as for the mount it is damn nice I was going to paint it chassi black because I have some left over from the rear beam

[PrecisionBoost]

I suppose cost will be dependent on the area your in.

If I were to guess your probably looking at $500 to $800 for a basic job.

I would at minimum have the cylinders bored and deck machined with a balancing done with the flywheel and crank pulley attached.

With respect to deck machining.... it will ensure that the top surface of the block is absolutely 100% flat.

They don't have to remove much material unless there is warpage.... which I wouldn't expect from an iron block.

If you wanted to go all out and have everything aligned (mains, camshafts ) your probably looking at $1500 but again it depends on where you live.

You should pick your machine shop based upon the types of engines they normally work on.

If it's a V8 factory..... consider finding a place that is doing lots of 4 cyl work.... tell them it's a GM 2.0L engine from an 88 Pontiac Sunbird GT Turbo and that should allow them to give you a good quote.

Don't mention Daewoo.... or the price will probably go up $200 because they haven't a clue as to what to expect.

The Sunbird 2.0L 8V turbo blocks are the same.... so there is no reason to do anything differently.

You may want to find a shop that is familiar with performance engine..... but they will usually be more expensive than your regular run of the mill engine machine shops.

The only reason I say this is that they will be more familiar with forged pistons and clearance issues.... but you'd probably be just fine with a regular company that is use to working on 4 Cyl GM engines

If I were you I would go around to a few places and find out what they "specialize" and get some quotations.

Look on the web and find some local forums that deal with grass roots racing.... you should be able to find a few guys mentioning how impressed they were with the work and price of some local shop.

New Hampshire.....

http://www.crankshaftco.com/engine-repa ... shire.html

From that list I think RL Engines is a decent choice.
http://www.rlengines.com/

They have a price list and they do list 4/6 cyl applications... honda... nissan... BMW...VW... Porsche

$80 for cylinder head resurfacing 4cyl
$125 for cylinder bore and hone to fit pistons
$220 for balancing engine

So that's really quite reasonable at $425

They list lots of different types of work including high performance engines and their list of machines is decent.

So..... I don't know how far you are from Dover but I think this is your best bet in New Hampshire

[greenbluewoo]

I would go with http://www.rlengines.com/ because they are only 30 minutes away and because its good price thank you for the help

[PrecisionBoost]

yea its a bitch tho i like the 2nd bumper better

you can make one urself u know

[wolfsreign]

i know.. but i dont know how... @.@ hahaha. im just gutting the stock. for the time being.

that front strut.. it seems like if you almost rail the car on a turn, it would flex and would lose the use of it.. anyway..
i really want to see the dash, good luck though.

[daewoomofo]

ive got a front strut brace, adn it helps alot, trust me. well worth the cash, or time to make one. hell i even make a rear one, lol

[wolfsreign]

i know it does, but i was talking about the one grenn posted up. see near the mounts... it looks like it could move up adn down a little, then the middle metal part seems pretty thin to where it could flew a little too.. so im just asking wouldnt it lose its purpose as a strut bar? hahaha
im thinking about welding a rear together thats adjustable.. just incase i add too much weld and i need to make the bar smaller.

greenblue, any pics of the inside the boot? (like inside, inside)
~wolf

[daewoomofo]

you can see that if its straight it wont clear any thing. it doesnt flex that much if at all.
