is this 2.3 not just a 2.0 block with custom parts in it and some machining? how else can you get a 2.27L?

 

nevermind

 

"revving high" is something you should worry about with your head. if your bottom end is bullet-proof it doesnt matter that you spin it to 20,000rpm, the reason you dont is because the motor is out of its VE. a 2.4l on the 63 block is all about moving more air down low, a built 2.0 is about moving air up top.

 

[QUOTE=crcain;5058440]No disrespect intended because AMS seems to be a solid company. My AMS turbo kit has never skipped a beat for the last 2 years.

But is the 2.3RR just running a custom crank, rods, and pistons in a 4G64? Is that some sort of special feat in engineering? Why all the hype?

Exacly my point... Brand name road racing machine shops can tell you TONS of information on racing tricks that build those bulletproof blocks.

Destroke a galant motor or outlander motor, add a trick crank, proper correct rods and etc., etc., etc..

Basically all this is is a glammed destroked 2.4 with high compression.

Which allows you to rev the bottom end to the upper 8k's-low 9k's.
Since you still have more displacement over a 2.0 you still get the added tq from a stroked motor.
The high compression allows you to run less boost and the same ammount of power as a fully stroked motor.

I applaud AMS for bring this to the masses but then I don't... It is forward movement for the community but now I have to deal with a level playing ground when I hit the track with the ammount of people sprinting to get this engine.

 

Damn bro your the biggest hater I ever seen! If your so damn sharp sounds like you should have your own ams shop you tool!

 

the hype is that it works better than a normal 2.3 stroker. you make it sound like this motor is just slapped together. there is alot of time that goes into this thing. oh and by the way since you think i should "join the club" why dont you tell me some of accomplishments you've had with your motor that is somehow exactly the same as ours. im sure some people would love to hear them.

 

I live for the comedy!

I guess then the TA car is just an evo with some tubing in it with some nice shocks and a stroker motor.

 

wow there is alot of drama mama's in here..lol

 

Ill probably be going 2.4 4g64 since evo blocks are expensive.plus i got the 4g64 block for free.

 

The Magnus long-rod 2.4 seems like a good option too.

 

Wow, these guys just don't get it. Anyone looking for some signature quotes need to look no further than some of the posts in this thread.

I get it, but right now I don't want to spend 8G's on a shortblock

Albeit a very, very, very, very good shortblock.

 

Wasn't talking about you, mang.

Somebody with a calculator needs to add up the cost of purchasing the parts for the shortblock and you'll quickly realize you're paying $8,000 for a $5,000 engine.

 

Let's see your calculatoring, then ... 'cuz any way I add it up, the 8K price tag doesn't seem bad, considering that there is no core exchange for the 2.3RR. If you can sell your old block for $3K, then you're down to a total cost of 5K.
