VTT/Rebello Sleeved N54 Engine progam

[Chris@VargasTurboTech]

What's up, guys. Just wanted to post a picture of the new VTT/Rebello Sleeved N54 engines we have coming out at some point in 2018. We took delivery our first engine yesterday and will be assembling it with a Rebello ported head, with either Schrick High Lifts or Cat Race cams. This particular engine is running CP Stock compression pistons (We now run all our motors at stock compression) fully coated side skirts, thermal coated domes, Manley Turbo Tuff I-beam rods, ARP mains studs, ARP Rod bolts, coated rod, and main bearings, custom sleeves designed by Rebello for the N54. This eliminates the need for a closed deck insert, as the blocks are machined for the sleeve all the way down, the sleeves are then fit to the block. This strengthens the block the length of the bore, NOT just the very top of it. It also means no loss of cooling, with the closed deck insert.

We will be torture testing this motor, and we have one more coming for the Nizpro AT car. Once we have run them and done our testing, we will announce pricing, options etc.

Keep in mind, we do not specialize in selling engines. We are doing this because of the numerous problems we had with the built motors we were sold, and the general lack of quality N54 engine builds on the market. The list of stories about failed built motors is long, we get emails about it all the time. Since we made it known we were working with Rebello, they field calls all the time from people with failed built motors looking for something more reliable. This lead us to start this program.

We look forward to getting your guys more info as we move along!

I'm happy to see this. As the N54 platform gets more affordable, people are comfortable throwing big power at these cars. I think we will start to see more failed engines than ever before, pretty soon. It's good to have competition in this area, and a variety of options to choose from.

I know I'll be looking for a built motor sometime in the future. I'm on a junkyard motor right now, but I know it won't last forever.

Out of curiosity did you find your yard motor online?

Yes, but I was searching locally via carpart.com. There were a few good candidates on eBay, but I wanted to see the motor in person before purchasing it.

Turbo tuff rods!? When did they start making those for the n54? Or did you bribe them lol

 

[Tony@VargasTurboTech]

Been available for a while, in our opinion the best rod on the market at just about any price. We love them

 

[Kommodore]

Would it be possible to eventually also have a program for a 3.2L option?

 

[Terry@BMS]

Looks solid! Can't wait to test out my budget build.

I will run this by Rebello, and see how much room there is to play with on oversized pistons with the sleeves

 

[JBacon335]

those turbo tuff rods are no joke, I used to work at manley about 12 years ago now when they were just making them for the 4g63 and 2jz. They'll take whatever you throw at them

 

[Payam@BMS]

I need one too, saving up for so many things.

 

[luchocamp]

Gold pistons. How fitting.

Tony,

How’s the torture testing going? Curious to know when this will be publicly available..

Thanks.

Thanks.

you'll have to ask @Chris@VargasTurboTech, Tony is no longer on this forum.

 

[Chris@VargasTurboTech]

So far so good. We're looking forward to SS in a week.

Exciting stuff.

Would the Rebello sleeves be just as strong as a closed deck?

 

[Chris@VargasTurboTech]

We like the sleeves... they strengthen the block all the way down, not just at the top, plus no loss of cooling. Strongest would be sleeves and closed deck.

When will we see a full billet 3.5L race block?
