The 2.4L and the 2.0L block are exactly the same except for deck height. So why do you think that the 2.4L doesn't have any parts? It can use all the parts that the 2.0 uses.

 

The only valid reason NOT to go with the 2.4l would be if it reduced the redline significantly. I doubt it would. Gas milage might suffer a little if you have a heavy foot. Our EVO's really are turd's when off-boost and the increase in displacment would help cure that for sure!

 

Jeez. These companies are only about 3 to 4 years behind the US in terms of innovation.

Seriously, this stuff was being done 4 years ago with the 4G63. Jeff Carpenter was one of the first guys, if not the first, to build a DSM stroker.

 

JDM stroker kits existed since the early to mid 90s...besides, I don't like using USDM parts, no offence to those who do. As for the 2.4, you say that everything is the same except for the deck height, but I wouldnt take a gamble on that. I'm reiterating that I use only JDM parts, US parts are non-applicable to me.

 

Your loss.

The whole JDM/USDM thing doesn't really apply to Mitsu. With an Eclipse, for example, you don't get any benefit when you swap in a "JDM" engine. It pretty much all the same stuff, with a few exceptions.

But some people like to say they have "JDM" parts anyway. (shrug) They usually are the guys who spend tons of money and don't get any faster than someone who uses "inferior" parts from the US.

 

Oh, and just a terminology thing. A 2.4L engine isn't a stroker.

 

i guess it's culture..where i come from, NOS is a cheat, fitting parts that are not intended for the Evo is a cheat. No doubt american tuned cars are fast, but that's not the way i want to do my car (like fitting on a mustang auto tranny, HUGE turbo and NOS for low end). Honestly, if mitsu came out with their 2.4 turbo for the Evo, and the STis are the same 2.5 turbo spec, I'll go back to BMWs and Porsches. All I want is to have the same JDM cars that are released to the rest of the world. Call me a Japanese parts fan or whatever...that's the whole reason why I have an Evo anyway.

 

2.4 is too crazy for me. That's messing with engine geometry, which I don't understand. I also don't understand suspension geometry.

I tried reading up on how to degree cams (which you need to do to put in a 2.4) and it blew my mind. I think I saw brains running out of my ears.

This is why I'm stuck with a stock suspension, stock engined car. Except for bolt-ons.

Maybe if crankwalk ever visits my 7-bolt, I'll be forced to learn. Until that time, I remain ignorant, and declare 2.4L conversions to be unholy mutants with no place on God's green earth.

Amen!

 

You have an Evo with a different motor? Did you swap out or modify your OEM one?

 

With all I have said about 2.4L engines and strokers, I don't feel that there is ANY reason to go with one.

The 2.0 is more than enough. People belt out 700hp with these things.

Of course, Magnus has started offering de-stroked 2.4L blocks (2.1L) that give you more torque than the 2.0, and rev to the freaking moon. That is pretty interesting, but I don't think I'll ever buy one.

 

Um...FQ300 guys? 2.4L straight from mitsu...

 

The UK FQ300 uses the 4G63 2.0l,just like our US EVO.

 

No, I was simply answering someone's question about Claudius' engine. I live in Fort Worth, TX. I'm too poor after buying my car to do anything like that for a long time, not that I neccessarily want to. It'll be a few months before I can catch back up in the finances department.

 

Interesting stuff on here...

 

I swear I read somewhere that it was a 2.4... Oh well atleast now I know...thanks
