Evo X motor
Well, judging from the opinions of ams and looking at the pics, this motor is going to be able to support big power. I mean, with the 4g63 the stock internals cannot hold up reliably to more than about 450whp max, and I'm guessing that the 4b11 is probably the same. One thing I will say is that while you're in there, drop in some more heavy duty sleeves into the 4b11 and I think that this motor will be able to hold close to the same power as the 4g63. If not, I'm sure that some company will make an iron race block for the car. For me, though, ~400whp, depending on the dyno, is probably where I'm going to be content. I don't need any more than that, and so far the motor has shown that it can easily accomplish that.

am i the only one impressed by the 4bolt mains????? thats awesome! this motor is built to hand it to people!! very well thought out engine.
as for it being modular, has anyone seen the ecotec engines? same design. and those motors are rediculous.

At the risk of sounding completely ignorant (hey, I don't build these things, I just drive 'em) ... Is it just me, or are those significantly larger water cooling passages than on the 4G63?

hey turbotriz, is that a 60-2 crank trigger wheel? any chance of measuring the diameter of it? vw's come with 60-2 wheels, but they're stamped and some stand alones will throw a code for a skipped window.
I wonder what the weight differences are.
I agree it is nice to have a bottom end that can handle more then the 4g63 can stock. However if you are going to double and triple the stock power output i would think breaking down the engine and building up the bottom end is a must regardless.
