Why I will never go back to a 2.0L
I am highly considering a 2.3 or a 2.4 (not sure which one yet) for a daily driver. I dont want to get a big turbo, maybe a green to increase the flow, but plans for now are just a stock turbo with a 2.3 or a 2.4L. I wouldn't want to destroy the transmission by using bigger turbos.
Anyone else has inputs on stock turbo 2.3 or 2.4L ?
I am already E85 with essentially all bolt ons possible. 400whp, etc etc.
I would like to maximize efficiency and increase power. Im guessing a 2.3 or 2.4L stock turbo evo will be stupid crazy.
Any inputs will be appreciated. I need to make my decision fast!
Thanks
I guess what it comes down it, how much can the drivetrain take?
Anything in regards to my question?

I guess I was referring to the idea of having a built 2.3 or 2.4L engine, matched with a bigger turbo will mean 550-600hp, with an equal amount of torque, maybe higher. Which I wouldnt want to have, due to the increased risks of something breaking, within the drivetrain.

And I am still on the stock drivetrain.
How is that running? have any numbers?

Here is Keath's dyno sheet-

There is also a write up in the Dyno forum. It came thru a little crappy, but its 486/480 on a 28psi spike.

I hope the powertrain likes that!.
What is your opinion on the 2.4LR you offer and the 2.2LR ? would you say one is better than the other? depending on my situation
both would be your E85 pistons
I mostly drive on the street, but i have set my car up for drag racing so i would say that i "care" more about those results. I have been driving around on a 35r on a 2.0L stock motor though so anything will probably be better. I had an S2000 before my evo so i don't even know what torque feels like Lmao.
I am hitting my 8300rpm rev limiter now for a bit going through the traps currently. I know i will get down the track faster, but will this rev limit still be a problem on the 2.4LR since ~8500 seems to be about the max, or can i bring it up for the track? I know i can switch to the 4.11 rear gear but will that offset the advantage of the tq from the motor on the street? ideally i would like stock gearing AND the displacement to make it fun on the street.
I am probably around 500hp but new motor i would expect to be 750-850 on a 64mm turbo
and do you offer an engine building service with your rotating assemblies?
thank you
Also what is your opinion on T3 vs open T4 vs T4 TS for drag racing?

Keep in mind a stock rod is 695g, so really any good aftermarket rod is better than that. The rods in our motors are 602g for the I beam and 568g for the H beam. The piston in a LR2.4 is also lighter since it has reduced compression height and skirt length. Stock is 360g + pin where the LR pistons are 309-315g. Everything we are spinning is lighter with the exception of the crankshaft which is more about main bearings. That being said, the stock crank has worked admirably for me up to 8800 so far and the motor for next year has the clearances to run 9200-9300 if I need to. With the different final drive I will be running I shouldnt have to do that unless I wanted to run 24.5 slicks or something.

You have a 7460 and you're worried about overspinning it?
