So whats the best way to go on the hg for the 2.1 4g64, is the bored out evo 9 hg the best out there? I was looking at the tomei head gasket but didnt find much info in the search button. My goal is to be in the 700-800awhp range so would it be better to o ring the block or the head? Or no o ring?

 

My 2.4 standard rod. No orings. 625+ studs. I used a SCE copper head gasket with a built in SS o-ring into it. Held 908 awhp at 43 psi till coil went out and damaged the head gasket for 6k miles.

 

i had a bad experience with a gates timing belt .. snapped from the middle.

Replaced with oem evo 9 belt and all is good now.

 

Was it the Gates Racing Timing Belt T167RB1?

 

What oil are you guys using for the 4G64?

 

I run Schaffers 5w50 and 10w50 between summer and winter.

Thanks for replies. Going to try out Schaffers

 

You wont be disappointed, and wont regret it one bit. It is well worth it.

 

Hey Team, I have a 4G64 GDI Motor out of a Charriot (JDM 4G64 Engine), I know I can use a Stock Crank, and 156mm length Rods for a 2.1 Build, but I cannot find what pistons I can use? Anyone know what pistons I can run? The factory bore size is 87mm. Anyone know exactly what pistons I can run? Even a link would be good

 

I am putting a 4g64 2.4 together, stock crank, eagle rods, wiseco pistons, which balancer do i use? do i use a evo/4g63 balancer or one from a 2.4 4g64?
what is the part number? i dont want a fancy one like a fluidampr

 

Run GSC race shaft and delete the balance shafts... Save yourself trouble in the long run... Also get a fluidamper pulley highly recommend it

 

You realize those balance shafts are a bunch of bull**** right? There has been no technical info saying they are better then a stubby. At least not that I have seen. I am sure people will say oh well its right here. Personally I have never seen a pump fail with a stubby shaft in it without a fancy pos cut up one. I have seen pumps fail being people reuse them and do not put new gears into them from wear. But I do agree on the fluidamper

 

i plan on using the balance shafts that came in the 2.4.

which stock crank pulley? evo or 2.4? i guess 2.4?

 

I personally think it helps in better support at the gear of the oil pump in comparison of a stubby shaft this is something you cannot technically prove through driving etc... but to enhance longevity.But I agree with you as well in terms of one not being better than the other..
