What is the cost of a 993 RSR engine rebuild?

How long b/w rebuilds?

Lots of variables to consider, a pro racer will be at redline most of the time so it becomes between 30 and 50 hrs if it's in sprint config and 10 to 20% more in endurance. If you stay below the last 800 RPM, MUCH more.

You never know how much a rebuild will cost before you open but a good starting point is $18,000. $12,000 for parts and 6,000 for labor

I had a 964 RSR that did more than 60 hrs and when they opened it it looked new...

I have heard that cylinder heads are $1500 a piece of the RSR rebuilds and that they are very prone to cracking.

Why not just sell the 993 tt and get a GT3 to run in B? Competion is sometimes light. On the plus side you'd make back the initial cost in upkeep.

OUCH! now that IS crazy insane!!!!

Almost forgot, the GT3 will be near 100% reliable. No packing up early and watching the other guys having fun,

You've had your share of early exits. Time to have fun

Alan,

I know what you are saying but PCA is actually the last club racing series I would want to run. The street GT3 could only run w/ PCA. I have always liked the look of the 993 RSR's and if the price is right and is also competitive in many series (i.e. HSR, NASA, PCA) then it may be the one I should buy.

Thanks

Tim,
I think Craig Freese may be selling his RS CS with a fresh engine. Not an RSR but more reasonable on the upkeep side. It should fit right into GT3S in NASA and be very comptitive.

RS CS? Or do you mena his 993 Cup?

Alan, did you mean the light competition as a plus or minus?

I always felt a big class made you a better driver.

I happen to have a 3.8RSR for sale.

Greg, Sorry the Cup.

Mike, I meant that there are times when there aren't too many cars in B. I'd shoot for the guy ahead of me no matter what class. As always, you may find guys a class down quicker than you anyway.

I have a 3.8 RS motor was more like $24K. parts $14K-$16K and then labor. As usual it depends on what you are replacing. If you are running it around 8K gonna be lots.
