Engine rebuilder & turbo/supercharging...Gold coast/Bris
Hi,
I've got an NG 90 Pajero, with a 3.0 v6 that needs reconditioning. Just would like to hear of recommendations for engine rebuilders in the Gold Coast/Brisbane region. Also was thinking of having a turbo or supercharger fitted [economically ($) though], so recommendations here would also be appreciated.
Cheers
Neale

dont like your options on a budget like that (including forced induction) basic rebuild perhaps.Techracer wrote:</=/~ $3000 would be good.bogged wrote:what is your budget for the complete project?Techracer wrote:[economically ($) though],

Thats what I was getting at. I would have expected an engine rebuild to cost more than 3k alone..love_mud wrote:dont like your options on a budget like that (including forced induction) basic rebuild perhaps.Techracer wrote:</=/~ $3000 would be good.bogged wrote:what is your budget for the complete project?Techracer wrote:[economically ($) though],

Well, the first and only quote i've had was from from ABBOTT engineering and was $2000 for a complete rebuild.....

Re: Engine rebuilder & turbo/supercharging...Gold coast/
I rang up a local performance shop and was quoted ~$7000 to fit a turbo. So unless it's a backyard job, i think it's going to be out of my budget....bogged wrote:Thats what I was getting at.

Yeah, suppose....chimpboy wrote:lol just get a second hand 3.5 and whack it in there. Five hundred bucks and you've got 40% more power..
Yeah the power would be nice but don't really like the sound of the 90 degree as much as typical 3.0/3.5 with the 60 degree bank...chimpboy wrote: Or get a 3000GT front cut

Hmm, I thought it was just a 6G72 DOHC and should bolt in.Techracer wrote:Yeah the power would be nice but don't really like the sound of the 90 degree as much as typical 3.0/3.5 with the 60 degree bank...chimpboy wrote: Or get a 3000GT front cut

I'm not a mitsubishi man though, so I will withdraw the suggestion
This is not legal advice.
It's not the actual fitting i'm referring to but the actual noise of the engine.... Don't like it, at least not as much as the 60 degree engines...chimpboy wrote:Hmm, I thought it was just a 6G72 DOHC and should bolt in.Techracer wrote:Yeah the power would be nice but don't really like the sound of the 90 degree as much as typical 3.0/3.5 with the 60 degree bank...chimpboy wrote: Or get a 3000GT front cut

He doesn't want to sacrifice the throbbing sexy rumble of the 3 litre Pajero V6 with the mighty single overhead cam...

dont you know anything?
The blocks etc on all the 6g7X motors are (well on the outside at least) essentially the same.

A DOHC twin toibo 3000Gt donk is the same externally as a paj motor (close enough to bolt in with anciliries swapped over)

Love_mud you are right. They are 60 degrees. If you go to the redbook site:love_mud wrote:The blocks etc on all the 6g7X motors are (well on the outside at least) essentially the same.

They say they are V90 but i just pulled out an old copy of Motor magazine and indeed it is a 60 degree bank. I had a sit in one at an auction yard (a couple of months back) that was running, i didn't know why it didn't have that characteristic NG grone, but returned home to find redbook with its spec saying it was a v90, so just assumed this was the reason, but this is obviously not the case.
Apologies Chimpboy. Reliability of my source ain't that reliable!

I did a bit of reading out of curiosity and some of the stuff I read is that you need about 2" of body lift to fit a 3.5 in where a 3.0 was.Z()LTAN wrote:wont the 3.5 bolt in?
they are plenty powerful enough with a decent exhaust and tune
The DOHC 3.0 would be nice, 168kW compared to the 105kW SOHC one before it even has a turbo on it.

You can get away with about an inch BL. OR you can massage the floor the main differcenc is the size of the gearbox, with the 3.5 cog swapper being largerchimpboy wrote:I did a bit of reading out of curiosity and some of the stuff I read is that you need about 2" of body lift to fit a 3.5 in where a 3.0 was.Z()LTAN wrote:wont the 3.5 bolt in?

The SOHC 3.5 give up a few KW to the DOHC 3.5, but I found the late motor to be far easier to drive, delivering torque much sooner and it is LPG compatible.
