The 4g64 Hype

[Iceman]

Great input guys! Yeah i had been doing a lot of reading latly on the two. I personally had thought that if you had a 6bolt than why would you need a 2.4L but steve/goat cleared that up ("I'm building one because I still want a streetable car, so spool is a concern, running 9's is not". Other good points were tossed around such as it was more of a 2g upgrade which i think it somewhat correct. All in all if i had a 6 bolt i would keep it build it up for high rev.. Or 7bolt of wanted to tried something new etc. I would do the 2.4L. The money issue comes into hand if you ask me... even though some of you are building nice 4g64's for pretty cheap...

Whats the cost of the full engine(4g64) costing everyone, est?

Thanks agian for the info guys, I knew you guys knew your SHIT! :dsmrule:

Im cool, I just dont take sarcasm too well... heh. ;)

Ahhh, that is the whole problem. 90% of my jokes are sarcastic. Most of the people on here give each other shit all the time, join in! We don't actually mean everything we say.


Now for some 4g64 content:

Wiseco pistons $400
Eagle rods $325 (both from Elite)
Cam gears $50

I think pretty much everything else that gets replaced, should be replaced on a thorough rebuild anyway (front case, water pump, etc).

What kind of motors are in the dodge avengers? Would those work?

Parts only, about the same as rebuilding a 2.0.

I've had a couple people ask me about building a 2.4 for them, I might be interested in building another 2 at the same time as mine, which might even save a bit on machine work. I'd have to figure out a price though.

Now my question is that I see everyone talking about Wiseco Piston part number bla bla and Joe Blow rods part numbers bla bla for this setup, but is there is there a 100% OEM setup that can be used for the 4G64 setup?
i.e.- crank, rods, pistons.........
*Cough* *Cough* ;)

There are a few using the "SA" version of the pistons (9.5:1) along with lower boost to make an engine with 300 whp @ 6k and 275 tq from 3500-6000 at 13 psi. The 6 bolts come with big rods, so throw the wiseco's on them would be the least I would say to do. The stock pistons are pretty fragile.

HMM! need some DsMers opions. Either i can go with the the 2.4L or i can go with a stock 6bolt... I would be building them both up.. Now i want a 91 cause of the slick looking front... but it lacks the 4 bolt rear. So basicly i could go 6 bolt or 2.4L with a 3 bolt rear... (it would be made into a 4 bolt in time to come)

I think that makes sense it kinda late...

unless you are 100% in tune with your car's drivetrain, you'll want a 4 bolt rear end LONG before a built motor.
You can go with either motor setup..
2.0's like to rev more.
2.4's are torquey usually and should spool a turbo faster.
Both motors have pros and cons, it all depends on your goals.

Goals consist of a high to mid 11 on pump gas :bounce:
