So whats the story on the 2.1L

[Jason84]

well going to build a new motor for the Galant. motor in there has about 2000 miles on it so time for a new one (just a 2.0L w/ eagle rods and weisco pistons etc... something to get a junk motor out of it right away)

I was gonna do the 2.1L a while back but decided to wait to see what experinces everybody else had... and now winter so time to do another motor. and want to do something like a 2.4L 2.3L or a 2.1L something different then a 2.0.


basically what are the cons of the 2.1L ? and what are the Pros of it? versus a 2.3 or 2.4L..

right now ive got an FP3065... thinking about maybe going up to the 3575.. wouldnt mind doing a 42R.. but the engine bay room in a GVR4 is horrible... unless i swaped everything into the talon and made the galant a DD.. but would rather have the GVR4 as the race car

2.1L will rev higher, so the two biggest concerns I know of are:

1) building a trans that can take it will be some serious money
2) oil pressure can get too high

Other than that, I would do some searching here, or on the public archives of NABR. hope that helps.

I guess it depends on what you want out of the car, really. I've really liked what i've seen the 2.4L guys put down with 3575 & larger turbos, though the 2L guys are probably still faster.

Here a couple of links that I found with that topic in there.

There are a couple of links in this website that bring up a similar topic to your questions, I would recommend searching there too for more info.

yeah ive already got a shep trans in the car..

would get a dogbox but it seams to be to much to drive on the street... a local guy has one in his.. gonna go for a ride in it this summer hopefully... see how it is.
