AndyT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Paul Whiffin (Whifbitz) is putting built blocks together. They should be available soon. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=202861 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Dreamer Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks, 'cause It's Just easier doing that rather than having to buy part after part all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yes it is mate. It's a small niche that Paul has seen and is willing to put the effort in. You know everything will be top notch too. Good luck and keep us posted if you decide on taking it on. Also you know everything will work together first time too. That's a big bonus.

RobSheffield Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Are you wanting to ship a full engine out there or are you wanting them local? Wouldnt it be easier/cheaper to buy from Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Are you wanting to ship a full engine out there or are you wanting them local? Wouldnt it be easier/cheaper to buy from Australia? Too early for me. Didn't even see he was in New Zealand. Forget my posts Supra Dreamer. The cost of transporting would be astronomical.

Might check up on Titan. Might be a little island off Oz but you do have one of the best tech right ups on Supras over there. It's often quoted on here in fact. Best of luck.

TLicense Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 It's funny you've mentioned this as over the last few days I've been discussing with a couple of members becoming a hobbyist and offering exactly this. The problem as I see it though is that very few people would actually pay for a "new" built engine. The MVP shortblock as advertised is a little misleading as the image they show is a actually a long-block. A fully built long-block would set you back somewhere in the region of £10k - £12k plus labour at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 sorry to wander off topic here, but 2jz long block and short block? could someone shed some light for me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Id try RIPS, they build some mental skyline engines and are on your door. sorry to wander off topic here, but 2jz long block and short block? could someone shed some light for me please. Longblock is a complete engine, shortblock is just the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I would look at a new Toyota short block, replace stock rods with lighter rods, ARP bolts and ARP head studs, then a built head, nothing more, this would reduce cost and can take more than enough street power, I would also always add a new water and oil pump and crank pulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Id try RIPS, they build some mental skyline engines and are on your door. . Beat me to it Jamie, RIPS build great engines, he could even do an RB30 conversion. As for not getting a lot in NZ, well the drag scene is bigger than here, so there are quite a few serious tuning shops in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 You should be able to get a 3.4 short engine all built for around £6-7K depending on spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
