martini Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hey guys... How much does a complete engine 'clean' and, I guess, refit cost? Single turbo conversion from a manual N/A? Looking for ball park figures. Not sure if I should just buy an NA and then fit a body kit (bomex) to it and convert the engine when I have more money... or save longer and buy a super machine from this site...

Matt H Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hey guys... How much does a complete engine 'clean' and, I guess, refit cost? Is that what people do?! Umm, cleaning your engine, bizarre terminology there. I'd have thought if you were after a shiney engine bay, you would be looking at buying bling, chroming, polishing and spraying. As for cleaning it... De-greaser and elbow grease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Clean and taking it out and refitting it I would say 1k Single turbo conversion done properly on an N/A 10k + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre going to do the NA to single then do it right. And its not cheap,you would be better going TT and then single TBH:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant some people seem to have very shiny engine bays... I'm not a mechanic of any standard but I do think it looks nice and I guess it's good for the engine....

Not always good for engine, good for eyes usually It's usually some polished or chrome covers, caps, pipes etc You do not need to take off engine to install those, you just replace standart parts with shiney one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
