with a solid mod list i dont think Aaron will have an issue getting 460 or more from that turbo.

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

I'm running a stock IX turbo on a LR2.4L...

How is that running? have any numbers?
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

How would a larger turbo destroy your transmission? If you are referring to your drivetrain, it would be the torque that you need to worry about, my friend.

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 a very large amount of torque (500+). Which I wouldn't want to have, due to the increased risks of something breaking, within the drivetrain.
I guess what it comes down it, how much can the drivetrain take?
Anything in regards to my question?

We will have to make a way for you to take a ride in my EVO as I am located in Sierra Vista. I presently have 510whp+ and 470wtq with the EF4 and it is amazing.

And I am still on the stock drivetrain.

Well It ended up making 485hp and 480tq at 3500RPM WOW
picking up the car tommorow. I will leave a review of it.

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.

very nice graph. love the 2.3/2.4 motors... the bigger displacement seems to make the ultimate street machines

That is an amazing power curve. Exactly what I want to get. I hope the 2.3 is able to provide me with that (I have a 4G63 in perfect conditions). I would like to get a little closer to 500. I have every bolt on, but I will be getting ported intake manifold and a throttle body, as well as a ported head. Hopefully, that'll help me get to 500/500 HP/TQ.

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?

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.

Aaron
If it is not personal. Can you please post what bearing clearances you ran to spin it to 9300 rpm?
Thanks
