Depends if your building it yourself or if your going to get it outsourced really?

[turbo Grant]

I thought the vf series turbos tend to shit them selves after 1.4 bar? And for the engine it will set you back 2k easy.

Imagine it to be more a gt30 than a vf turbo like I say it's a hybrid

[AdamB]

If your looking for a quick cheap build then you can probably get it all in for £2k. For a build which will withstand any sort of punishment you'll probably be looking closer to £3k.

[Taggy]

Hope the guide helps, prices for forged deals have dropped a little bit since i built mine, but yes dont expect to get much change from £2k!

[little dave]

well looking at it i think im going to start putting money aside and spend it once and with the right people im happy to wait for a lovely car as long as it comes in the end.

[daniel_g]

Taggy, how much did your machinist charge you, and what work did you have done ?

[Taggy]

errrrm let me check, prices are without vat

Resurfacing the engine block (Decked) £56

Notching the block to accept 5e rods £75

Rebore oversize and cylinder hone block £104

Polish the crank £13

skim head £39

It's not cheap even if you do it your self. You need to factor in all the new service parts too, belts, pumps, plugs ect. Then all the running in mineral oil then the decent stuff after running it in, plus a handful of oil filters.
