2.4 swap research

[1fast97gsx]

and about the 2.0 with the 2.4 crank in it, this is information that my friend told me about an hour before i made the post. he said i just need to make a notch in the block and somewhere on the crank, and its minor machining.

A 2.0 block with a 2.4 crank will give you the 2.3 stroker however stroker pistons are still required to make it work. The other machining required is the normal machining that would be required for any buildup. If you upgrade the pistons and do all the machine work and build a 2.3 you are generally looking to make a decent power number, and not just 300 whp or something like that. At this point you will also want to upgrade the rods or at least shotpeen and install arp rod bolts on 1g big rods.

hmm, i was merely trying to point something out about the evo 8 pistons, why would the catalog say that they require the same machining as 2g pistons??? misinformed... lets not flame here.

and about the 2.0 with the 2.4 crank in it, this is information that my friend told me about an hour before i made the post. he said i just need to make a notch in the block and somewhere on the crank, and its minor machining. again what i was told. i proceeded to ask if 4g63 internals would work, he said yes. i am posting here to learn more not to get bashed.

and yes i do plan on running built internals, eagle rods and wiseco pistons.

thats fine, I dont mean to bash or flame...just simply saying that your comment about the 2G head was a little weird...and since I have done this swap myself (not saying that I know everything) I think I would have an idea on what works...only from my experience. No hard feelings

I'm looking at purchasing a 2.0L N/T spyder that is the perfect colors dark gray/black int, 5 spd, low miles and cheap. I'de love to buy a turbo but they are at least $4 or 5 G's more, plus insurance. So I thought of having a sweet street set up with a 2.4L 4G64 short block, and a 2.0L 4G63 head that made great low end torque and lots of hp up to redline. Possibly from SBR, which would cost a little over 4,000. Plus the price of a turbo (GT35R?) and turbo exaust. I'm not sure if the swap will fit, what do you guys think? I also plan on swapping drivetrains to have one of the few turbo awd spyders. Thanks a lot.

So If you got the 2.4 stroker from SBR what else would you need to put it in a 1st gen? Also does SBR sell the 7 bolt 2.4's? I need a new block and have a 94 so it has a 7 bolt that has a clutch and flywheel setup that is only 2,500 miles old. I would have to have to ditch it just to get a 6 bolt setup.

thanks for all the info so far. I wanna go 110mph on a 14b and with me having to get a new block just means that maybe that 2.4 will help me acheive this goal.

thanks again,
Josh

I'm not sure if they sell the 7 bolt 2.4s, but my assumption would be no. You know you could just get a 6 bolt flywheel and bolt your existing clutch to that ... all you'd loose out is the cost of the flywheel unless you are using an oem on to begin with.

Just in case you didn't realize, you still couldn't put down a whole lot of power due to the fact that you are fwd. I've never seen under the hood of a n/t, but since the spyders have the same orientation as the turbo models assuming the transmission bolt pattern is the same you can most likely make it work. If you REALLY want a convertable I would personally just buy a gst spyder, because the money you're saving you'll be spending more and then some to switch to a proper turbo setup. Otherwise find a used high mileage gsx if you are going to rebuild it anyways.

Yeah I was just trying to keep my current flywheel so I dont have to spend too much money. Oh well, Im still debating on which bottom end I want to do. I have a FWD talon so I dont need to go all out or anything. But if the swap is about the same cost or maybe a little more then a built 2.0 then I might do that. I just want to do 110mph in the 1/4 while keeping my reliability. So this winter might be the chance I have to build it.

What do you guys think about this?

thanks for the help,
Josh

I guess you missed the part where I said I also planned on swapping drivetrains from a GSX to have one of the few turbo *AWD* spyders around, it has been done. Anyway, can anybody else verify that the spyders have the same orientation as a turbo model? I definitely want a 6 bolt turbo 2.4L. If anybody has more information on this please respond.

Thanks | Brian

N/T spyders come with 2.4L 4G64 not 2.0L as someone stated above and yes they do have the same engine orientation as turbo cars.
