PM'ed SBR and they have not responded. I am sure the kia block is a 4g64 I just want to make sure it is the right generation. No one seems to know what to look for when you a looking at just a bare block and nothing else to reference.

 

dude why are you taking a risk there is a guy last night that just posted 3 4g64 blocks for sale for 500 each and if you need crank alittle extra pick up one of those. he also has a Mivec 4g69 block as well

 

Maybe since I can get this one for <$200 delivered. Show me a block listed for that price and I will not go this way. I think the information would be universally useful though.

 

Uh I've never paid more than $100 bucks for a 4G64 with rotating assembly, usually they have a spun bearing or balance shaft is seized but the block is usually perfect. I've got a few here for building so we shall see what the machine shop says about them. BTW I haven't heard that Kia 2.4's are the same. Does the Evo head bolt right on some of them?

If you have any usuable ready to drop in rods pistons bearing already machined blocks with 100mm crank for sell let me know. I might want to build a LR2.4 at my own pace and replace the one i have with it later. Really depends on how mikeys and Nicks turn out to be honest the reg 2.4 might be enough

 

Be easy to compare it to Johnny's.

 

huh?? I was clearly stating i wanted to see how the LR2.4 was going to turn out. Its called being interested not coming to any conculsion yet of course.

 

Mikey- LR 2.4/Black
JohnnyTSI- standard rod 2.4/Black

Both E85
Both IX
Both SD
Both Magnus
Both S2
Both me tuning

=

Easy comparison

 

There actually will be 2 variables between our setups:

1. LR vs Standard length rod
2. Compression ratio!

Frankly, the fpblack is pretty much out of breath on my setup by 7.5-8k rpm, so I'm not really convinced that building a LR 2.4 will buy you anything on a fpblack combination. -> Add an hta35r to the mix though which would keep airflow up when reved out to 8k+

Still, I am definately interested in this comparison!

John-

 

You read my mind my dude exactly what i was thinking

 

thats what I meant (other than compression) the LR to short rod...thus what we are comparing

The 9:1 vs 10.3:1 is going to be overall power but shouldnt affect the shape of the powerband. If there is any difference to be seen I will hope we see it
