4g64T question

[xharlequinx]

if I were to turbo a 2.4l 4g64 for my mighty max truck, would all I need to do INTERNAL WISE is to add 2g rods, and lower compression pistons? I know I would have to go about doing an ecu swap, fuel pump, injectors, probably a keydiver chip, and all that, which I ma fine with. I know the stock set up can hold 10psi if tuned correctly, but I am pretty set on 15 or 16 psi, just because my goal from day 1 was to push 300whp...no more no less.
I was thinking about leaving the stock internals and just removing the balance shafts so I could run 10psi, but if I were to do that, I would only be pushing 230whp and I'm more than sure I'd get greedy and want to go faster. If I have learned anything from my talon it's to do things right the FIRST time.

You can get away with just replacing the pistons, but it would be best to replace the pistons and the rods at the same time. Its extra insurance that nothing is going to come flying apart.

sweet!! so what I expected wasn't much more then?

one question tho... if I were to get this combo, would I get the connecting rods in 7 bolt, and the pistons in 7 bolt .20 over? or what?

 

[Cs4g63]

It depends on what your mighty max has in it. Which 2.4 does it have?
The 4g64 is a 7 bolt motor, but the g4cs and g64b are 6 bolt 2.4's.

ask on the 4g64 mailing list which 2g 7 bolt 4g63t rods are known to work in the 4g64 block because some will not.

Off the top of my head I would say get ROSS pistons for the 4g64 and eagle rods.

hmm okay thanks a lot guys.

Just to chime in here, If its a 4g64 the rods are the same as the 2G turbo rods.

Well its a 1991 mighty max. I know that the earlier years came w a 6 bolt. But here's the thing: the guy that I bought the car from said he replaced the motor w his dad. It has 60k original miles on it which is awesome, but it would just suck if I ordered the wrong pistons and rods. So, I went and looked at the block # and I came out w this : 4g64 LD5401
