madkaw Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Okay guys, I know this is small time for you guys but I was wondering if my 2.4 is capable of 200rwhp. I know I should of done a 2.8 and I won't even admit that I sold a 2.8trbo that i had (oops), but I had already thrown money at the original motor before I found the turbo car. I am doing a total rebuild with .40 over pistons and balancing the complete assembly. I am oversizing to l28 valves on the e-88 head with mild porting and port matching. A stage 2 cam, stainless valves, header, electronic ign,dual exhaust, SU's. I know if I was wanting bigger ## I should have gone a different direction but I think 200hp would make me very happy with this car. Maybe the next project I will have the knowledge from all you guys to go for big horsepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 you sould consider going to a higher compression ratio and a more extreme cam. That is the only way you will get to your 200hp goal on N/A. Also, do the standard mods such as 3.9:1 rear diff, lightweight flywheel, maybe lose some weight on the car itself? That will make the car feel faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Thanks olie05, I know 200 is very optimistic and I do intend on raising CR to the premium pump gas limit. IF later down the road i put together a stroker with my worked e-88 I wonder what the hp would be for the increased displacement?MAN- i wish I kept that turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris240zTurbo Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Madkaw, I see from your signature that you're a train crewman, who do you work for? BNSF here, 15 years and counting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSHER Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Do you consider using a 2.8 crank cheating? If not, then that would help a bit and you could keep the 2.4 block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
