All I'm saying is if you got $10 to $15,000 by all means build yourself a 2.4 and have a reputable shop do it or if your some seasoned vet of the game and really know what your doing WITHOUT SECOND GUESSING yourself. Dude is on a budget and for a DIYer its not what I would recommend a 2.3 would be less if a pain in the ass and would yield much better results.

yeah i hear ya, the 2.3 is definitely cheaper i was just trying to add that the 2.4 tends to get a bad wrap a lot of times. And dont worry me and tyler are friends so I knew about this awhile ago we're about 2 of 4 evos in the Mankato area so we talk lol

Actually the 2.4 is not more expensive. The 2.4 crank is pretty much the same price as the 2.4 block and crank, all the other stuff is the same, actually I think 2.3 pistons are slightly higher because of their 6mm shorter pin to deck height. I could be wrong, either way, it's a wash. But yeah, if your existing block is good, the 2.3 is definitely the way to go since you don't need the water pump adapter and you have the oil squirters.

He has a MIVEC Evo IX also, so he wouldn't have to deal with making that work with the 2.4 block if he did a 2.3l and could run stock cam gears.

I know when Andrew and I were researching how to build his IX we decided the 2.3L was the better route to take, especially for the IX w/MIVEC. Retaining the stock block really simplifies things.
I agree with this, another reason I'd rather do a 2.3 even in my car, it sounds like with mivec might be worth going 2.3 too.

You should just stop talking and respewing shit you see online, its just providing misinformation that isn't needed.
My 2.4 was built by some old guy that never did one, turns out that shit is still taking a beating.

You never mentioned them before, but most of you tools that come on here and try to spew shit never do refer to the sources you get your info from.
Still doesn't change what I said, and I'm pretty sure shane has a 2.4 in his DSM.
Funny I'm tired of ass-hats like you constantly showing up talking out of their ass, either way it will still happen until the car fad is way down the line, sadly its only behind MMA, gym freaks, and now guns plenty more guys like you will be showing up talking plain old garbage.
Dude are you on the rag, your a Fucking girl, I spew shit ok. Half your post are utterly useless
