I have a 96 GSX turbo car that has a rod knock (at least thats what i think it is LOL) well i have been trying to find stock rebuilt short blocks but no one seems to sell them. I am not looking for something that makes huge horse or anything because this car is a daily driver (i.e bone stock). Who sells short blocks that are stock (maybe replaced faulty parts)
Thank you for any help
 
You can try jackonautomachine.com

anyone have results on the frankenstien shortblock? I know its just 1G rods w/ 2G pistons, but as far as rebuil quality for the price?
 
well my local machine shop would charge me 1250 to install everything like;

bearings
rods
pistons
polish and balance crank
deck the head and block
hone and bore the block
install timing components
and timing job

but the price was with my stuff

so i ended up doing whole work my self,except some machining requiring work ;) and i ended up close to 1300 with eagle rods ,wiseco pistons,arp headstuds,new oil pump,and new timing components ;)
 
I'm researching two possibilities right now

From DSM Gravyard -
DSM Graveyard - Your #1 Source for Used DSM Parts!

and

From Jackson AUto Machine - JAM Spec~Stage I-2.0 4g63 Shortblock -
https://www.jacksonautomachine.com/html/shopping/list_section.cfm?sectionId=27

Anyone know where else I can go? My goal, like most of us, is a daily driver w/ 300 - 350hp (for now...)

What are everyone's thoughts? I don't want to go over 2k on just the block. But if quality is going to cost that much...then hey, what can I say. I'll pay a few extra hundred for a job well done.
 
ive got class with one of the shop workers. i can ask him tomorrow if you want. slowboy is gonna be a little pricier than the others..

I have TWO stock 4G63 6 bolt turbo blocks with:

Stock rods
ARP rod bolts
ACL bearings
OEM pistons

$1,850.00 shipped... no core due.

If you are local, I can give you $300.00 back for you turbo core. We are a bit more expensive, but I have a lot of guys to pay - and they like getting paid - !! ;)

whose the one who works on the bikes at your shop? took a spill on a gsxr 1000 last semester. forget his name..
 
thedsmgraveyard is a good place to order from. I have ordered parts from there and they are very nice for the price.
 
ROFL he was a pretty cool guy. got me back into the bike scene.
hes lucky to be alive after a spill like that tho man. and hey i see you dont do turbos for r6's yet. you should consider a project. id even donate my 08:thumb:

Nick is a good kid - I have seen him wreck one to many times... it is the main reason the wife made me sell my bikes :)

Rigt now he is in Nursing school at IUP and only spends about 15-20 hours a week here at the shop on the dyno or building custom kits - we have more work then we can handle so right now is not a good time to take on a new R6 project... although we want to.... we just cannot right now... huge thank you for the offer though!
