2.1L vs 2.4L vs 2.3 Stroker
Awesome I love my 2.3 although Map built it and I agree Dave the extra displacement spools larger turbos so much better.

Bigger displacement is a long-term goal for me, & even though I think I'd make a LITTLE more power with the 2.4, I'm leaning more towards the 2.3...for now...unless someone can provide a big enough arguement showing multiple benefits of going 2.4. Here's mostly why I'm geared more towards keeping it 2.3: Pulling the Evo 4G63 out & installing a non-Evo 4G64 block, in my mind at least, makes the Evo lose a big part of it's soul. It'd be like wanting to increase the displacement in your Integra Type-R motor, & pulling out the B18C5 & installing an H22 Prelude motor...it's just not a Type-R Teg anymore in all its essence! The B18C5 made the Type R legendary, just as the 4G63 did for the Evolution. I just wouldn't feel the same about my car driving it around with a foreign engine in it. Anyone else see it like I do?? IDK, I guess it's not as sacriligeous as dropping in an LS1 motor in or something like that, but still..
Have there been any documentation done as far as power gains the 2.4 offers over the 2.3 with the same mods?

Only problem about the type-r comparison is the 4G63 has been in many other vehicles besides the evo. The B18C5 was a lot more exclusive then the 4G63

The Evo's initial success in the 90s was tied to the 4G63 the same way the Type R was to the B18. That's the key, not whether it was in another car or not.

Your comparing a mass produced motor (conquest/Starion, DSM's etc) to a motor that was hand built for a specific model of car. Not the same thing.
Putting a 4G64 in a Evo (only using the block for bigger displacement and keeping everything that makes the Evo an Evo) is not quite the same thing as putting a H22A in a Integra (heavier motor that puts out the same power as the one it replaces and is inferior in every way)

Starion/Conquest TSI has a G54BT engine. It is an SOVC, throttle body injected, 2.6L
The engine is commonly swapped into the Mighty Max pickup lol. I believe that it is the same engine used in the old montero's.

Its also called a 4g54 so it is technically a 4g motor but the 4g is just used to denote a 4cyl gas motor by Mitsubishi the 4g54 is built on the astron series engine as opposed to the 4g63 which is a sirius series engine.
Well just found this on wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Astron_engine
I never knew. lol
I personally like the extra head room the 2.1L would give. I find myself burning through tires and driving a little to agressively with extra torque. So I like the 2.1/2.0.

OK. LOL. Bad example. My point is the 4G63 is nothing THAT special. We've had it in eagle talons and eclipses. the B18C5 has only been in one car.
Interesting.... I used to own an 1989 and I have never heard it called a 4g54.

What about a full drag motor? which setup is recommended? a stroker? long rod? 64 or 63? really need help as i don't know where to start. Any of you could recommend which kinda setup is good for a full drag car please let me know. I'm so confused with either to have a massive torque or a flat curve torque for full time drag.
please help. btw i'm using evo3.
I ended up going with a 153 mm rod and 94 mm stroke in my 63 block. I was originally going with a 159mm rod and 94 mm stroke in a 64 block but I was a little worried about headgasket sealing myself. Piston speed and cylinder wall loading will be higher in my 63 setup but I'm ok with that considering i'm not revving to 10k. I'll probably see 9200 max. I will be happy to let you know how my setup turns out as soon as English Racing is done with my block
