Also is it the rev limit on the 2.35 is 8500rpm but the 2.5 is said to be ok to 9000rpm?
I thought the main bonus of the 2.35 was that it would rev higher, again this may be wrong.

Duty on turbos is 2.2% so if the blocks are the same then its...
$2450 block
$350 shipping
$500 gaskets and bolts
Total of 3300 USD = £1587
1587 + 2.2% = 1622 + VAT
= £1905 delivered for the stage 2
or £2916 for the stage 3

thats the question i asked in general,im just worried about duty/vat and customs charges,if goin to the expense of rebuilding my engine then might as well do it properly and those prices are very tempting,might pm playsatan or scoobyslammed as i know ron @axis did their 2.35 engines to see what additional costs there were

Aweek or so ago I emailed Ron.
He quoted me for the S2 engine short block, 350$ for shipping.
Now we know 2.2% for duty and Mr Brown's cut on all of it.
Good deal, and you might as well get the studs/gaskets and oil pump from them too.

It is also worth checking out where I got this engine from RalliSpec Ltd. Their stage 2 2.5 is equivalent to the AXIS Stage 3, but comes in a bit cheaper, he gave me a trade discount so this worked out to about £2200 all in delivered!!!
I've just ordered a new EJ257 bare block assembly from them, it only cost $810!!

Dont rely on that 2.2% figure I gave for turbos is the same for blocks, BUT I would have thought it likely as they are both mechanical parts. You would need to phone customs and excise to confirm this.
The axis stage 3 has a modified crank where as the RalliSpec has selected factory ones. This may be why the price is slightly diffferent
The RalliSpec stage 1 is $100 cheaper than Axis tho

This must have changed recently, the Rallispec stage 2, used to be modified Crank (was when I purchased) The duty Rate on the blocks was 2.7%.
If you want it done I know they can do it, If you want a stage one with ACL's they also do that.

Seems like along time ago but yes, I went down this route last year.
You can always do what I did and ask Ron to declare the value of the parts alone. Not like you can export labour now is it? Takes a big chunk out of the duty.
Think I still have a list of costs somewhere but these may have changed what with the price of steel and the currency fluctuations.
