I wish people would stop calling a 2.4ltr a stroker.

 

this is a littile off topic but how about the destroked 2.1Lr.

Just not enough solid testing to even comment on these at this time.

 

i prefer the 2.0 cuz i think that reving higher will yeild to more power on the track that has been proven. the saying if it ain't broke don't change it sums it up. if a 2.0 works, why do a 2.3 or a 2.4? that's just my opinion. jerry's car is one of my favorite mitsu's around, and i think he is doing his motor and chassis set-up to be different more than anything. plus you cant count jerry, because he is not trying to build his car to be the fastest mitsu ever, but for it to be a fast, fun, and reliable street car. his set up is good for that.

 

One might say that with a well selected parts combination you can achieve just as good torque curves with a 2.0 as you can with a 2.4. If I had two dsms, one would be a high revving 2.0 for the track to get some good mph traps. The second would be a 2.3/2.4 for stop light digging 0-60's.
However it is interesting how a lot of the latest turbo cars sold today have larger displacement motors.

 

How is that interesting when turbo cars with 2.0 displacement with 15 year old technology are still whooping their asses?

 

that's fucking hilarious

 

I think we'll have to wait and see. Its not really fair to judge the success of a 2.3/2.4 by comparing 'who is fastest'. The 4G63 in 2.0 form has has years and years of development compared to the 2.3/2.4 variations which are relatively new. Strictly speaking, not many people have 2.3/2.4, so by sheer numbers there are more 2.0s out there running around. So naturally there are many more fast 2.0s, simply from a numbers perspective.

I think as more and more people try the 2.3/2.4 combo we will see it becoming a more attractive option. With proper headwork,intake, cams,rod angles, and other motor tricks, there is nothing to really hold you back. If you can rev the same and hold the torque you will make more power, and its just that simple. People are trying 2.0 cams,intakes,heads on the 2.3/2.4 with so-so results. You need to realize, when you have a motor with vastly different requirements, you cant just use the same cam, head increase teh displacement and expect anything great. Thats why the results are so-so at best. But people are realizing this, and trying non-off-the-shelf cams (custom), and providing a proper intake (not a generic one designed for a 2.0 sheetmetal) and are starting to see the benefits of the displacement up top as well.

Sighting Shepherds car isnt a good idea. He has a VERY well working 2.0 combo, for him to try a 2.3/2.4 just for the hell of it is not prudent. He just can't waste that kind of time / money. Thats not to say its not a good option.

All in all, there just hasn't been enough effort put into the 2.3/2.4 yet. But more and more are popping up, and the results look good.

 

I know the dodge 2.4 isnt mitsu but is proving to be quite impressive to me.The torque its producing with a 16g variant is ridiculous.

 

i think i am selfish i want to have both i really love our 2.4 it is very responsive when you need it we would nerver go back to a 2 liter so i think i am going to talk to my machine shop and lighten the crack and knife edge it also balance pressure plate , flywheel , and crank all together as one assembly and rev it to about 9500 rpm to have the best of both worlds
