Who's running a 2.4L Mivec???
 

I just can't make up my mind on what motor to build. I was set on a 2.0L for Drag, and then a 2.1L, then a 2.2L 4g64, now back to the 2.1L, but now, I'm not sure once again.

I know that I want 10.0:1 compression on the build. At this point, I want my car to be a low 10 second drag/daily driver. And Buschur said, go with a 2.3L on my last thread, so I'm lost at this point.

I plan on staying with the stock frame turbo, currently I have the Red and might upgrade to the Black if I can't get into the low ten's with the Red.

I know that the stock frame turbos are at peak HP under 8k RPM's, so what about a 2.4L Mivec?!?

I want the most reliable engine out there! I put 26k on my car last year and can't tell you how many time I drag raced. The stock motor has held up great! But I want more WHP!

I'm running a 4g64/MIVEC/FPBlack combo (2.4) and couldn't be happier with the setup.

26psi @ 4000 rpm and over 500whp on 92 Octane pump gas simply can't be argued with! This combination Kicks Ass! I have the rev limiter set at 8000, but honestly, the power starts to drop off and I shift well before 8k.

That being said, I built my car for Daily Driver duties and will rarely (if ever) track the car. I do have a track wh0re; a 722hp 1g DSM that I have fun in.

I have one wish for my build, and that is I should have went with a higher compression piston, I think 10:1 would have been a perfect setup for my needs.

John-

I agree with Johnny. My car is going to the shop on Monday to get a MIVEC 2.4L. My motor is a bit different than Johnny's however. I'm going 10:1 like Johnny stated and I'm doing a long rod 2.4L. We are putting a 156mm rod in it with stocker pistons where the wrist pin is moved up 6mm. I think it will be hella sick.

If you are staying stock frame I would go 2.4 MIVEC. You will love it. Perfect combo if you end up going with the FP Black in the future. Shoot for this build:

10:1 MIVEC 46G4 2.4L Long Rod (156mm Rod) with 288 cams of some sort. I like GSC but FP make a nice set too.

Johnny what is your cr? 9:1?

Mikey

^^ awsome cant wait to see you review on the car after you get it back!! GL

i'm undecided rite now on if i should go with an all out build or buy a cbr rr 600?

^ I'll be sure to do a nice write up on my motor. My motor is a bit different than everyone elses so I hope everything works out good in the end. :D

I have had a GSX-R 750, F4I, and a RR. I have to say the RR was hands down my favorite bike. The GSXR was faster but it didn't handle **** compared to the RR :D

Mikey

yeah i just sold my 07 gixxer 600 last year and i really been missing it :(


Q: why you going with stock pistons?

^ me?

Mikey

He meant stroker not stocker.

However the correct term would be long rod since we arent stroking the 2.4 merely increasing the rod length and raising the compression height.

:)

My next motor for my car is going to be a LR2.4 as well.

^ :D Thanks Aaron!

LR2.4 now?

Mikey

I went with the off the shelf JE Pistons for the 4g64.

Dang Aaron! you change your mind more than my wife does! :D

John-

Committed now, pistons and rods are on the way. Well rods are here, pistons are on order.

Aaron, are you doing a setup like mine or are you adding some more "custom" Aaron stuff? Also can you hook me up on your MIVEC Intake Cam Gear mod on my motor build {thumbup}

Mikey

Always custom Aaron stuff to be done. Devil is in the details.

Well if you have any interesting ideas for my LR2.4 I'm all ears. We have a week to get everything set in stone {thumbup}
