I have a 2004 g35 coupe stage 3 stillen supercharged. I blew a piston recently and now im looking to rebuild my block. I was trying to get some suggestions on what parts i should go with. Im an everyday driver... Dont race and really dont beat on my car much. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

there are tons of threads already do some searching lol

not the block but Forged Performance has the Cosworth ported and polished heads for the DE those and cams along with whatever your going to do on the bottom end will decimate all

 

your budget will decide all lol How in depth do you want to get? At a minimum you'll need:
Pistons
rods
bearings
upgraded head gasket
ARP head studs

As well as a proper dyno tune this time so you don't blow up again... a stillen kit shouldn't be owning pistons...

 

Budget is definitely a factor lol. Like i said i use my car to get from point a to point b. Ill **** around a little here and there but im not racing/launching my car. Just want some stable parts that will last me. Really Appreciate the quick response

 

Do you have a shop locally that you trust to rebuild the motor?

 

Yes a family friend does all my work but me myself does not know much about engines in general and i told him id do some reseach on it and get back to him.

 

Are you thinking about upgrading anything else or just building the bottom end to get her running again?

 

Find a used long block from an auto wrecker or classifieds section an put it in, a stillen SC doesn't make enough power to justify and aftermarket engine with forged internals. Drop in another stock long block and get it tuned ASAP, your tune or another issue likely caused your piston failure.

 

If you really want to spend and get forged then look here other wise stock is cheapest option


Engine packages are customizable to match your goals. Here are two samples of common configurations:

One thing to keep in mind if you do go through the vendors is that a short block package looks really cheap but its going to need a lot more to get it together and in the car, and no matter what package you select you'll most likely end up adding some of the options, plus shipping so it will end up costing $$ in the end.

I'd second Slyvan's opinion if you're on a budget and just want to get back on the road, spend the extra money on a solid dyno tune.

 

Let me start off by thanking everyone for all the help so far. I talked to by buddy and he told me to worry about the bottom end mainly. Is it better to go with a package deal or should I buy each part seperatly.

 

A package deal will be cheapest, next to a used stock engine.
