Coolant in the head only like the rest of our race cars and only a big oil cooler to make it work on the street...or two of em

We use R&R for all our connecting rod needs for that level, this case is 156mm steel I beam.

 

Gotcha, thanks!

 

I just noticed the OP avatar is the 10 second club. Have you actually gotten an evo into the 10's? I just thought that was funny. My car SHOULD runs on 10's but Im not putting that in my avatar unless it does.

Thats all.

Do what you want. 2.0 with a 6766 all day. Don't listen to anyone here. They just have the knowledge you have asked for and have recieved.

 

Dang Rock, I feel left out.

To contribute to the thread, I have a STD 2.4L with 5k miles on it, and wouldn't trade it for a 2.1L no matter how high it could rev. I love this setup.

Same here

 

interesting. i thought i was the only one with hard block in a 4g64. im only filled to the water pump holes though.

 

I thought about doing a 1/2 fill but decided that if I was gonna do it I should just do it. The difference in actual metal temp of the block between a fully filled and a fully wet block is 20* higher on the full fill (190 vs 170 at 170* coolant temp). A 36,000 btu oil cooler should keep it under control especially with the AMS pan on for the increased capacity.

 

I also fell in love with my 2.4L on my '98 Eclipse GSX with HTA3586. This thing made 727/711 whp/wtq at 35PSI on E85. Talking about one nasty street/strip machine. It would light the tires in 3rd with that torque.

My questions for you 2.4L guys. What "special" things do I need to do to the head to take on the 2.4L block. On my GSX, I didn't do anything special but just want to be sure for the Evo8.

Thanks in advanced.

 

bringing back to the life this old post.
I'm in the middle of build a new engine. I blown my 4g64 2.1 LR (156mm) destroke, but now, I want to build a LR2.4.
I will use the 4g64 OEM 100mm crank and block, and I want to buy a 162mm i-beam rods. The question is, What type of pistons do i need? In my old setup used wiseco hd1400 K626M87 AP.
Can i use the same pistons part number or need other for the rod size?

 

You can't run 162mm rods with the 100mm crank. You run 156mm rods to make a 2.4LR

 

really, I didn't know that. Ok man, I will buy the 156mm rods. What about the pistons? Same part number describe above?

 

You need K627m87ap

The following piston in +.080 size-

great man. What about the rods. I'm looking lightweight rods, maybe Brian crower hbeam 625+ are lighter than I beam.. what do you think?

 

Call up English Racing and get Carrillo 156mm. They're right at 600g IIRC.
