Cuske 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've just killed my 2.9 vr on the way home. Does anyone know how much I'm looking at to make it a 3.0 and how much a rebuild to standard 2.9 would be? Also where would be the place to take it? Link to post Share on other sites

Antihero1981 8 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 dont see the point......for a little more you can get a charger or do turbo... Link to post Share on other sites
LadVR 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi mate, you would be looking at around 200 for the machining of the block and 500ish for pistons, but then if its in bits you might as well replace all the bearings, chains, gaskets etc so budget for around another couple of hundred...soon adds up this engine lark!!

Antihero1981 8 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 yeah , not cheap when you start playing around with internal mods... Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Go for a 2.8 24V instead :-)When and if that wears out, you can rebuild it to any size from 2.9 to 3.3A nice 2.8 with R32 crank, modded pistons and R32 head will make lovely, thick walled 3.0 engine, perfect for turboing ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
