nono its nothing like that, and of course i would use whatever recommended oil religiously, i just meant like.. i didnt want to go so far and so crazy, ie., i dont need to run 9s, even 10s.. just want a solid reliable motor that won't consume oil etc..
sigh i should probably revise that statement, i just meant that i didn't need something too wild, just a great, solid, reliable and worry-free motor.. sorry guys

No they did not and it's pointless now as we use a crank we had Manley do custom for us, lightweight 100mm stroke built exclusively for us. It's 5 pounds lighter than their standard billet crank we used originally in the 2.3RPM engine.

Dave just curious if I daily drive my Evo year round in Chicago weather would you still recommend 20w50 for temps in the teens and below zero? If not what ambient temp would you switch over to and what weight? Looking to switch to a 2.3rpm motor in the future if it makes a difference.

My personal recommendation is Mobil 1 15w50 unless you are using a FP stock frame turbo. In that case Brad Penn 10w40.

I just received my new BR 2.3 for Project MJ this past week. I sent in my BR 2.0 to have it looked at and David recommended I go with the standard 2.3. My Evo has always been a street car used only for weekends (not a daily driver). I currently run an FP Black (JB) on E-85. I think with this new motor I will drop down to an FP (BB) Red, continue running E-85 with about 35psi (maybe 37 peak). I think that's going to make for a wicked street set-up 
Thanks again DB!

David,
recommendations for a street car searching for 500 whp+ on 93 octane with possibility of E85 tune.
had my prior evo with a 2.3 50 trim with a full bolt on making 500 whp on 93 and meth. i wanna stay away from meth and with the turbo advancements, it should not be so difficult.
My thinking was a Rebuild with the stock 2.0 / 2.2 or a 2.4
My old 2.3 used oil, not a major amount but it did use some oil. I was told by many that it is normal but i never felt comfortable with that.
i dd my car and a rare drag strip car....
What would be your recommendations for a block?

2.0 standard build, this is basically a built replacement of the stock engine. The cylinder walls on the EVOX will get distorted at the tops when getting close to 500 whp from the engine.
2.0 with sleeves, this is the highest rev'ing engine, same CC's as stock with the exception of a slight over bore. Forged internals like the engine above. The sleeves will allow the block to withstand any power you can put to it.
2.2BAMF, this is our most popular engine actually. Billet crank, forged pistons/rods/sleeves etc. Better low/mid range/top end power. GREAT engine for bigger turbos, street, autocross, road racing and yes even drags.

We offer three options for the EVOX, basically.
