I have done some enquiring with a friend of my family as to pricing for engine rebuilding. Please note these are quotes atm but Grant teh own of Doctor Macs at Maitland said their very close to accurate. Pricing will change over time!
I'm going Supertech valve train Catalog - supertechperformance.com you can buy kits with valves combo, spring and retainer combo. Found the kits on ebay. You need to upgrade to normal mazda 3 mzr 5.5mm thinkness guides with these valves as the MPS is 6mm
When running heavier valve spring you will need upgrading VVT. I'm going the DCR VVT again
Than check out the rebuild kits from egde http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/edge-...uild-kits.html
Than just get your piston and rods .
Grants going to chase up cams for me as well so hopefully we can get a cheaper/local options for different cam profiles here in Australia
I'm doing the rebuilding myself so i don't have the cost of labour for rebuild. I will have to enlist the help to time the engine as i don't have the tools ..
Hope this puts it into prospective as far as cost wise
I dont want to junk this thread up with chat i will keep it more on pricing. This link is more the journey of my build and results/wins/losses http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/membe...tml#post285043
I have a package price for those who are keen-
Bore and Hone
Porting head and mani matching, with air speed in mind (quicker spool time)
Head service
Engine balance to 8500rpm
$3000 price is a guide
There is extra you can do like-
Valve guides pressed in $375
Larger valves
etc etc
You will need to speak to them for pricing and what you want done
