So I am building my first 4g63 engine... evo9

Any pit falls and things
to look out for?

I am using stock crank
Manley pistons
Manley rods
ACL bearings
kelford cams
manley springs and retainers
arp L19 head studs

nothing major

 

Might as well throw in some ARP rod bolts while you're putting in the bearings...since you'll be in there anyways.

 

Balance shaft elim? New pulleys, belts, and pumps?

Nice list - good luck.

 

Using ATI damper
loosing the water pump for a Electric one
Norris drysump

(BTW...putting evo9 power into RX7 FD3s... to shock the rotary guys )

 

^^ wow, dry sump alone is a BALLIN set up...post pics of the car when its done

 

He is running manley rods.

I would do ARP main studs and delete the balance shafts.

 

"Nothing Major" huh?

dont forget to add Motec system exhaust

 

I will use a Haltech P2000 ems,

I have a motec M800 on my evo9 and I cant say I like it much.

What I meant by major is that the block and head nothing major.
I didnt want to use too expensive internals the first time around.

After the first experience building a engine I will build a second with the following"

94mm Billet crank
I beam rods
CP pistons coated
272/280 cams
Supertech vavles 1mm over
head ported
block nitrited
L19/H11 all around

 

i dont like the CP piston design vs the JE, JE has the squish areas in the piston where CP is just round.
whats up with Nitriding the block?

 

best of luck man, looking forward to the progress. if u could make it a piece by piece build and detail the clearances ur allowing along with some pics that would be very helpful for some of us noobs.
Thanks and gl!

Is that an rx or supra hard to tell wit the lights out. Pretty sure that's an rx-7 but not sure. Anyways that's pretty sick to be swappping a 4g into it. Personally I would love to have a 11k rpm screamin rotary b motor.
