Anyway, so is your (all) impression of mike he knew what me was doing, or what? He knows his shit as far as I can tell.

Ok, I got most of the receipts from when the motor was built, here is a basic parts list:

Brand new 4g64 crank from Mitsu ($$)
Eagle rods
Magnus designed Ross pistons, 9:1 compression
All new gaskets/bearings from Mitsu
Forward facing oil filter housing
ARP headstuds
Align hone
ACT2900 clutch
Fidanza flywheel

1G head, ported, 1mm oversize valves, with a radius valve job, all work done by Arnolds Motor Supply in Ames, IA
Crower springs and titanium retainers
Stock cams!!!!! woohoo
Also got a 1g intake mani and 1g throttle body for it.

Everything has around 800 miles on it, I'll edit this post later when I'm home and I have the receipts with me.

Right now I have all hoses/sensors unplugged from the engine, all fluids out, just need to get the axles completely out of the transmission tonight and pull the motor out tonight. I plan to have the 2g starter plate on the new motor with the transmission attached by the end of tonight. I'll try to get pics.


Plus, the guy who sold me this just had his 2g motor go out, so he wants my stock shortblock once it's out.

Awesome! You will love driving that act2900 through downtown traffic haha.

Yeah, the 2900 gets a bit rough. It doesn't feel all that much worse than a 2600 though, but they are bad enough.

[TkrPerformance]

you will get use to the 2900. I dont even notice it any more in the evo

[crazy_skier]

that sounds like an awesome engine, and I thought the 2900 had a different angle of release or something to lower pedal pressure, but correct me if I'm wrong

You will definately want a bigger turbo. My 2.4L had my old GT3076 spooling hard all the time and saw full boost around 3200-3300 rpm.

Yuck, I hate how hard it seems to not spool my 16g, I cant even imagine with a bigger turbo. I bet its cool as hell when it actually is go time though! Nice buy man.
