The quote is Buschur Racing's 2.3 liter engines can go to 8500 rpm, no problem. The topic starter in this thread may build one that can only go to 7500 or may go to 9,000 rpm. Parts choice and machine work are going to be the factors in how high the engine can rev safely.

Wow thanks for bringing my old thread up lol.

I already built the motor, I am my own engine builder as I feel my attention to detail and quality control is better than people that are just spitting out engines to make a living with.

I will take the motor to whatever the turbo stops making power at, and in the 4094r case...probably 9k maybe 9.5k.

That may be true, but for the record BR and AMS are the industry standard... spitting out engine to make a living isn't the case for these guys...

Good luck on the High RPM 2.3!!!

Being the new "nice guy" that I am all I have to say is good luck. I'll keep running the engines we are just "spitting" out for the last 20 years.

Personally, with a 4094, I don't even think you should set a rev limiter, 10,000+ rpm should be easy for you.

I want to see how long that 2.3 lasts with that kind of turbo and high revs... Keep us updated .. I am guessing that it will not last .. That is WAY too high of a rev for that kind of stroke on an EVO standard 2.0 motor IMO.. Did you possibly destroke a 2.4 block, similar to the AMS 2.3RR? The longevity of that motor, shifting that high.. is just not going to last regardless.. Good luck..

You will always hear mix reviews on this... They are both built extremely well.. In my personal car.. I am supporting Buschur Parts 110% so BR 2.3 it is for me!

Did you go with a 2.1 or 2.3
I'll just add I'm asking because in your OP you toss the 2.1 idea around...

No no destroking here 2.3L.

I had a honda with a 99mm stock rods spinning to over 8500 with a big 4088r.

Tell sharkbite his motor isnt gonna last!!

Okay, you are now comparing apples to oranges.. you are comparing a 99mm crank compared to a 100mm crank and 8500rpms to 9500pms.. How long did that motor last?? I don't believe in 40rs... Maybe if it is Twinscroll, but still.. Why use that big of a turbo when you can use a Singlescroll 35r or 37r and run 9's and 8's... Makes no sense to me.. but to each, their own!


I'm not quite sure that Sharkbite takes his standard AMS 2.3 that is supposed to MAX rev to 7800, to 9000-9500 on a daily basis, but i HIGHLY doubt it... His motor has lasted a year already without bearing wear, but the last I heard, he doesn't even barely have any miles on that.. I'll have a 2.3 Buschur and I will be daily driving it, putting 15k a year on it, we will see the true test of how long it will last.. but I will not touch anything past 8500, which is recommended by Buschur so it should last a long time

LOL you missed my point

STOCK rods and bearings and pistons on my 2.4 motor. The motor got beat all to hell, I beat the **** out of it because we were trying to push the limits of it. It saw 550+ whp and I daily drove it. I raced everything that was fast just to compare how fast the car was. After I built my 2.2L that stock 2.4L motor came out and I gave it to my friend that has it in his car all motor with a 100 shot of nitrous. He makes a little over 235whp stock form without the nitrous, here is his video. Same motor that was getting beaten on in my car. In the video he does not have nitrous hooked up. Which by the way I probably put 10-12k miles of boost on that motor too. It was boosted for over a year.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/K...ith_209996.htm

And if you look at his other video that teal terror is my car that was on the stock motor.

This is thread wasnt even started so that we can compare turbo's, it was to see what people are revving their 2.3L's too.

People like sharkbite should prove the point to a T that you dont know what these cars, turbo systems, drivetrains etc etc are capabe of until they are pushed. He obviously pushes his car, turbo, tune, etc etc to the absolute limits.

Your swinging is so funny. **** single scroll... The fastest cars in the world use twin scroll.
