im going to be sending my car out to get a fully build LR2.4 at English Racing and i was wondering how long these engines might last as a daily driver with high miles 50K+ ??

just wanted to know some of the mileage people have on there 2.4L, and have you had any trouble with the motor?

the 2.4 is gaining in popularity man ER would be the best ones to ask or SBR but no complaints I have heard and every motor minus aluminun rod motors are the same take care of it and it will last a long time. It almost like the 2.3 you dont see those failing at 50k do you unless ragged out with out working being done to it.

 

thanks Rock!

anyone out there have decent mileage on them?

 

I'm at about 2500 miles.. haha

 

how solid does the motor feel?

how you liking it so far?

how does it compare to the stock 2.0?

 

solid? lol well -- I spun it out to 8600 to finish the 1/4 in 4th. Didnt explode. But I dont have a stock crank.

It should have been an option from the factory -- Makes for a lot more fun street car. 444 ft/tq at 3800 in 4th.

 

I have break in miles on mine (~500) and I love it. Between the 2.4 displacement and 9.7:1 compression, it's a blast to drive, even on low boost. My room mates stock engine Evo 9 feels sluggish in comparison with pedal response and off boost feel. I am VERY happy and glad I made the choice I did. Running an Evo 9 turbo on it right now, but should be ready for an FP upgrade soon.

awesome thanks!

is your 4g63 stroked to 2.4 or do you have the 2.4 block?


John

 

I wasnt aware you could stroke the 4g63 to 2.4 liters..

 

I have a 4G64 block. When I bought my car, the block had a biiiiiiiig chunk missing from it. Along with a rod and piston. haha

I think the 2.4l builds are fairly new so its tough to predict how they hold on the long run.
anyone have any idea what the diff. in cylinder wall thhickness is between the 4g63 and the 2.4 block? and off which car does it come from?
Thanks

EXCELLENT! thanks!

 

There is a lot less space on the 64 vs the 63 between the cylinder walls for head gasket sealing, L19's and o-ring'ing are definitely musts.

Rogue what billet crank is in your motor? You did a long rod block right, not a standard?

 

So far I am at 7200 miles, hit 8650 every time I shift and normally run at 30psi (700-720whp). I am not beating on it like I did initially but it runs hard when I run it.
