I decided to keep my 90 GSX bc everybody seems to want it for free nowadays
Anyway, I got a 91- 6 bolt from my rearended' TSI that is sitting on a pallet for 1 year now.
What I got so far figured:
-I'm sticking with stock 2.0L displacement;
Question:
What is the best rod/piston combo for a 500-600hp engine?
(My choise as of now: Carillo/Wiseco)
Machine work/labor cost quoted today March 08:
-hot tank: $55
-Boring any size: $80
-micro polish crank: $25
-balancing: $140
-Crank grind if necessary: $75
-Deck surface: $75
-rods/piston assy: $30 (or free if I chose to have them put the block togheter)
-$350 labor to put everything back togheter;
This is the machine work I asked for...am I missing anything important? I know I just asked for basic stuff.
IS this price fair for the machine work requested?
OK...now I gotta buy the parts...so I figure another $1500 worth of quality parts...
Any imput/recomedations would be grately appreciated since I gotta buy the parts in 1 week pretty much.
Who has the cheapest carillo/pauter rods, and good wiseco pistons? Frankly I'm a college student on a budget..so whoever has the cheapest NEW parts is the winner.
The engine will be hitting the machine shop in 3-4 days.
Thx a lot
