Re: pistons n cams

Are you seriously asking if you have to pull the motor out of the car to change the pistons in it?

Re: pistons n cams

If you're not a mechanic you won't be changing out pistons yourself, so why ask in the first place?

Short version? Several thousand. Figure ~$3000 for pistons and cams, probably another $2500-4000 for machine work, reseal kit, new crank/rod bearings... You also need some sort of engine management since the stock MAF runs out at ~250HP. I doubt you'll get it done for less than $7000. Probably closer to 10K to do everything properly.

Re: pistons n cams

lol I can see much fail in this job... lol this isn't a honda... the EG33 will take a lot more work to build than I think you'll be willing to put in. If you are serious about this however hit me up and I can get you all the parts you need to build the engine for a good price.
