The KA24 internals are fairly strong. The rods are very strong. But the factory ECU with a turbo on it an pump gas runs way too much timing and they blow up. Put an AEM or something on it that gives real control over the ignition timing and you can make some power.

The attached dynosheet is a stock bottom end car, but he had an AEM EMS on E85 with big cams, 61mm turbo and a huge intake manifold. He ran it with the stock bottom end while he was building another motor and now the car runs 9s with the boost cranked up to the high 20s.
