Built engine cost? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

To all of you with built engines how much did it cost you when it was all said and done?

The specs of the build will make all the difference. Are you talking about just pistons and rods for boost or literally every aspect of the motor? The name of the companies on the parts replaced (and doing the blueprinting, polishing, assembly/honing, etc.) will also play a role in the cost.

Too many variables to list...

You can buy a stage 1 block from Full Blown for a little over 3K. I think Outfront Motorsports is about the same.

Say just rods and Pistons. I'm more curious as to labor costs. Part costs are easy to find out

I, too, would like to know this, but I suspect it would be quite a bit.

The going rate for just the shortblock (botom end), meaning starting and ending with the engine on a stand, is about $2000 plus or minus 2-300. That's just labor, not parts.

A reasonable shop that's selling the parts at cost and making everything on the labor is going to charge you $3100 +/- 100 to build the bottom end.

For a shop to do the full monty including pulling and reinstalling the engine, all accessories, clutch... It's a crap shoot. Ask your local shop. I don't know anyone in TX.

$7500 installed is my guess

Probably looking at around $100 an hour for somebody that will do it right.

It's something like 23 hours book time to do rods FYI

steve86gt · 11-24-2016, 04:25 PM

I got quoted $8K give or take for the full monty on the fa20
