Hello everyone, I wanted to ask what are some good places to send out a motor to be sleeved and possibly blueprinted and balanced?

I remember hearing about companies like ERL and Eagle doing the sleeves and if i remember correctly the prices were close to $1000. But overall which place would you recommend and why.

Thanks for your help, time, and assistance. Appreciate it.

 

Both those companies are the ones to go with. I think there is one other one but don't remember the name or much about it.

I don't think Golden Eagle blueprints and balances engines or at least not ours. I don't think they assemble them either.

ERL will do everything but I believe they are no longer taking engines from the public (mine is there now). You would have to go through a dealer. You can contact Todd from Turbotoyotas aka Why Industries, he his a dealer and that's who I went through.

 

darton is coming out with a wet sleeve for the tc.

 

eagle is a good one togo with they do blueprint and balance that what they went with on my set up.

 

Dartons sleeves for the TC have been out for over a year, they just started advertising them though...

ERL = Darton East. ERL uses Darton Sleeves in all there Sport Compact Applications.

Take this for what its worth:

1- GE is going one way while ERL is going in the opposite direction.

And you get what you pay for.

Going cheap on the most important part of your engine build will only cost you more in the long run.

And if you don't go with ERL the first time you eventually will

Regards-

Todd

 

good to know. thanks for the info!

 

How do you figure ERL is one way and Golden Eagle is another? We have supported scions from day one and we're the first to sleeve a tc, when erl and aebs could not get it done because darton did not make a sleeve. what makes you say if you dont go erl first you will after, because thats a bold statment when we have not had one problem with a tc block ever. we have done meny and not had one problem and have many happy custimers. we make all our sleeves in house and always have, no outsiders here. we sleeve some of the fastest cars in the import racing world not just drag cars

 

we do build and bluepring tc motors always have pm me if you have any questions we are also working on a line of tc parts just finshed our fuel rail and are working on a intake manifold and lots of other parts will post as there done

 

i have used both golden eagle and erl on the tc.. both have been superb quality and have held up to some good abuse.. either one will do the job well...

 

i agree

 

I had a Golden Eagle motor once but some ***** stole it.

 

he stoled your motor that sucks sorry to here that when your ready to do another one pm me ill see what i can do for you

 

Yeah we had to get the owner of zpi for you guys to release the info on who signed for the motor. So the dumb cops haven't done nothing to him yet so he continues to work now with turbochargers.com and ArtisanPerformance.com. You guys know Kenny Strickler. He probably gives you a lot of BS when you talk to him, then again that's all that comes from his mouth. The pipes that go to his a$$ got crossed some how.

Anyway thanks for the info you released and thanks for the offer but ERL is doing it. Nothing against you guys I just had someone helping me out that pointed me in that direction.

 

no prob man i rember you didnt we end up releacing it to you after we no longer do anything for zpi and never will again

 

Yes we got the info thats why I said thanks. ZPI is gone but it's Kenny you have to watch out for who is still popping up and BSing his way to getting jobs and sales.

 

LOL what a bummer I had a pretty good time getting my Golden Eagle block only one thing that had me worried was how you guys decked the block But i called and you guys told me it was ok ..... still had me worried and still kinda does but fk it. sleeves hard strong, hope to get your fuel rail next i already have a re-turn system just need better flowing rail.

 

Golden Eagle, you have pm!

 

nothing to worry about on our decking its called a step deck and is just a performance way of decking been doing it for years no problems at all im sure it wil work fine for you and just give us a call when your ready for your fuel rail or head studs

 

Well what are your prices for building an engine?

Also what do you offer in that price? (what services )

 

I have used ERL for all our motors whether they be a Honda, a TC, and STi or a VQ35 and have always been MORE than satisfied with their work. Yes it takes longer to do with them than others but their attention to detail and experience in the racing world (particularly in the Tc racing world) make it worth it.
