Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

The build is being done at S&R Performance in tampa. I did a lot of research before choosing them so keep your fingers crossed. They have done several vq builds

I would think if you could get the car up at least a foot, maybe that would be enough room to work with. Who knows though
Yea it's very easy. Remove bumper, headlights, radiator, core support (lots of bolts), drop tranny, disconnect main harness, power steering, AC, and pull motor. For me this is a walk in a park just takes time.

Why drop the tranny? Couldn't that just come out with the motor?

I think we need a DIY, that doesn't sound too bad. Did you do this with a normal jack/stand combo? You have a lift too right?

Sorry, wasn't thinking. You don't have to.

Yes I have a lift but kept it low and used a engine hoist.

Would anyone be interested if I bought another bottom end for my existing motor and built it for a Forced Induction Application? These motors are not that easy to come by as the 350z motors...

Harry,

Could you PM me maybe a ballpark cost? Possibly interested. Also, are you referring to a built bottom end, or just oem?

I can do either or.. Depending on what kind of internals you want if you go built. I do know s&r ordered another set of cp 10:1 pistons for another guy who wanted the same build as me when the word got out... Want my number?

Well it has come to my attention that this may happen in time with my exhaust manifold on my gtm TT kit so I am seriously considering changing kits. And I am sure they are not going to warranty it because they cant even keep up with the current demand now. Decisions decisions...

Interesting. It does not look like it was actually leaking though, unless you cleaned it up. I would expect a lot more soot if it was leaking.

Sorry for your troubles!

Wouldn't it be a lot easier and cheaper to build some kind of bracket to support the weight of the turbo while the engine is out of the car?

I guess by that you mean you saw my post in my thread, downloaded my photo, and then uploaded it here

It wasn't leaking enough to notice any noise or a loss in spool, but this is something that would only get worse over time. we just happened to find it before sending the manifolds to swaintech

Can you show us what you end up fabbing for a bracket? If/when I have to deal with this, I'd rather not re-invent the wheel if there's already a working design out there.
