need help to rebuilding my block but where do i get started?
i have 03 350z.
how much am i gonna spend to get a good 450 to 500 to the wheels?
i have a turbonetics kit i just dont know where to get started or who to trust to building a motor.

Does anyone sell built blocks thats not gonna cost me a nut?


thanks

 

Oh boi...

MODS... I said this a couple years ago, we need to have a "search exam" for all new members

 

skip the headache and buy my Z for $28k and you will get 641 wheel horsepower and not get flamed

 

 

sounds really tempting but i would need to sell mine and i dont think ill get much under its current condition

 

OP, keep your nut and just sell a kidney, problem solved. A bit of free advice, expect the unexpected and add 25-40% to whatever you "think" it will cost.

Give Kyle at Import Parts Pro a call if you don't know what shop to trust, but JTran is in TX and Intense is in AZ. Intense has a great rep on the forum and are as close to the tip of TX as you are gonna get. JTran is closer, but newer and less established.

PM RudeG_v2.0 or IIQuicksilverII about Intense and MethosRN about JTran for more input. I have earned points in heaven for this, I am sure...

 

Sell it for 7-10k add 3-6k to it and finance the rest, c'mon I am willing to work with you .

Seriously though, your looking at $16-20k to do it right (that's if you already have twins).

 

if you do just the minimum to get her up and running around 450whp with your current turbonetics... $10k. that's like a stage 0 motor labor for install and tune. 10k might be estimating too low.

 

part out the turbonetics kit, buy a cheap vq put it in ..... and sell it to buy craigo'sznprgrs Z.... Every post this guy makes he's trying to pawn his Z off..... ( hah j/p Craigo!!! ) but seriously thats where I would start, unless you can do the labor yourself.

 

No missed opportunities, lol

Its cool, I just wish I had bought built to start with and skipped the inevitable headaches . Straight to the fun with no down time.

 

+1... George aka IIQuicksilverII is good to talk to, he knows his stuff and the guys at Intense are straight up honest. Some top choices right there.
