^ lol i remeber a little while ago a guy was saying about how he spent 1500 pound getting similar mods (and a few others i think) and that it was a complete waste of money etc etc...
lol I like it "pro mechanic" in inverted commas.
Not a clue I phoned him today and he gave me that price.
I was thinking that refurb the old one and sell it on? Will be a piece of piss to work on the engine once its out the motor!
Been quoted £250 labour. (excluding consumables I think) also get the keep the old engine so I can strip and refurb it
Any opinions? (this is a pro mechanic btw) Believe my mate will do it cheaper
Should do the clutch aswell he reckons.
Thanks
Top end wise theres not going to be a difference, I personally don't see much point in mapping unless you have cams. Although to be fair you see a reasonable increase in torque
Nope dont need to its a pretty new engine.
May be beneficial to do fanbelt while its out? fanbelts got 30k behind it
So i need everything that in my list correct?
I probs could do it myself but id rather leave it with my mates then at least it'l be okay!
He just said get some qoutes and let me know what garages want.
I cant see it being uber difficult to be honest. Just awkward. What would a garage charge people!!???
Real quick one Guys.
How much would you lot be charging to change an engine over (excluding belts)
Also how long does it take approximately?
Edit: whats the book time in hours? How long does it take in relaity?
Thanks!
Can I get away with changing just the fanbelt or do I need to other crap (idler tensioner etc..) also?
No abnormal noises coming from the belt so thought I'd probably be okay changing the belt, Thoughts??
Many Thanks
