just wondering how much would it cost for an engine rebuilt for a 93 tsi awd.im sure somebody on the board had done it.maybe you can help and let me know what the work has done,what it cost and where around the GTA.thanks

Basic rebuild, about 1200-1500 and up.
One idea is get Ziggy to get you this Engine rebuild kit from Slowboy
The only thing I would add to that is a new Water pump, and possibly swap out the topline Timing belt for an OEM one.
For a "daily driver motor" it would be a very good start though.

Hey, i just recently went through it with my 94 AWD turbo.......... after all taxes in, i had no time to do it myself...Tapp Auto did it for $3,500........ the cost of the "new" old engine was $1500, $400 in belts, some pockey change for fluids, thankfully my clutch was still good, then all the labour........i have my exact quote somewhere else but that's pretty rough guess, the $3550.13 i think it was was the end cost

Must be nice, I ended up Paying for 2G pistons and an EVO III. And then well lets just say the machine shop alone was $2550. So I guess it all depends on if you engine went yet or if its' just going to be a rebuild. And obviously it depends on where you get it done and if you keep adding up replacement parts, gaskets, etc.

thanks for all your reply guys
i guess im gonna buy the kit form ziggy.gonna try and do the work myself
so got a feel more questions.looking at the link so which size should i choose for the rod/main bearing and the bore?? never rebuilt an engine before but im handy and arm with two talon manual i had change my timming belt water pump and all those bearings and tensioner on my fwd talon.so how much work would you suggest i should do myself??im thinking to send out the bottom end to a shop for them to work on and i'll try to work on the rest.....good idea??and i don't have an engine stand or engine lift.i think that would mean i can't even take out the bottom end of my engine right?? so what should i do??
