Hello everyone,
I've read on these forums that Andial is no longer offering its awsome 3.8L conversion. Who else can perform such rebuild? Preferably someone in So. California.
Thanks,
Enrique

Protomotive - go to S Car Go in Northern cali.

For longevity I would recommend staying with the stock engine size. The 3.8l cylinders are thin and to do it properly requires the case spigots to be bored out 2mm from 107 to 109mm meaning you cannot go back to stock displacement. I don't see the value in the 3.8l kits and think you'll get better valued results from turbos and programming updates.

Thank you for the replies.

Tony Callas at Torrance, Henry Smith (Super Tec), both are excellent, cheers, Sonny.

I would stay away from S Car Go. The guy is real flake

My 3.8L conversion did by Turbokraft. It's located in Phoenix.
I'm very happy with results: +600hp/+800Nm.
There you can get also Twin Spark conversion at same.
3.8L Cylinders are not weak if they are bore-in model(RSR conversion) and TS head with welded fins and good interlocking flame rings are very good combination..

Was the car in the US when you had this done? I thought there were European tuners who could do this ........?

David,

What is with the 3 posts and already calling Rob a flake ??

Woodster

Is turbocraft Bob Holcomb ??

Geoffrey

No. Bob Holcombe's shop is MODE engineering TurboKraft is Chris.

Jussi

No, the car was in home, only engine parts were sended there, Phoenix. Final assembly with all new and modified parts were done in home with good instructions and support from Turbokraft.

Yes there are but I compared all choices, also European tuners like RUF, 9FF, RS, FVD, Gemballa, Spezielmotorer(sweden) etc. and made my own choice...

edit: Bob ja Chris are friends and so Chris has also all Bob's knowledges and possibilites available. Also some of my conversion things were done by Bob....

Regarding Rob at S Car Go - stood me up for an appointment at his shop, and never even bothered to call back and apologize .... therefore a flake. I couldn't imagine treating any of my customers so poorly.

sonny1

A flake, and very expensive, I conjur., Sonny.

js-911,
Phoenix is not that far from here, is Turbokraft's pricing similar to Andial's, $50k-$55k for the conversion? What else did your conversion entail? Sounds like you did your homework and ended up with excellent results.
Thanks again everyone,
Enrique
