Best way to ACHEIVE 2.2-2.3L

[Guest]

Its all going to cost similar money regardless of the geometry. For drags ypu need the rpm reach. 

 

If I was building a dedicated drag car it would be a 3l with a front mounted hx52. Could be done and street legal with some clever thinking.

Haha seems complicated . Might be easier just to build another worked 2L

Could just build it and see how it goes but could get expensive if it doesnt perform and you need to start investigating.

You can use a 2.5 crank in a Ej22 to get 2.35 too. The Brits seem to favour it over the destroyed 2.5.
But you will have to get a rather $$ crank or machine your Ej22 to be centre thrust.

Why would you need a centre thrust crank? If you did theres plenty of 2.5 non turbo cranks that will do the same job. The rear thrust is better with heavy clutches which is why phase 1 blocks gey converted. All the ej22 blocks were centre except for the tommy kaira iirc.

I was typing faster than thinking. Convert from centre thrust to rear thrust. 
Also i was thinking of a more hectic crank over the Ej257 one. 400kw maybe pushing it?!

Cranks arent usually the weak point in most engines. Upside of aftermarket is lighter and knife edged.

Just out of curiousity would a 2.5 be better and easier and cheaper to build, i mean i know ill lose a bit of revz but is there actually any other dis advantages between a 2.2-2.5?

gotasubys 2.5 holset engine went to 8k rpm im pretty sure. You would have to ask him on the engine specs

They rev to 8k but theyre falling over far lower.

Correcto, but with the cam packages you can get now you can get a great power band from 4-8k. I've done, 2, 2.1,2.33, 2.35 and 2.5l. Personally if I was to do it for a power and rev motor I would do a 2.35. Best one yet followed closely with 2.5. The torque on both was awesome. Makes a 2l feel like it's running on 3 cyl off boost

I too will cross this hurdle if i build a engine. Im assuming its easier to de-stroke a 257 then stroking a 207? i thought you could do a similar thing with a 207 to make 2.35?

 

Now I feel like I should've gotten a forged 2.35L CDB build instead of my 2.0... god dammit @gotasuby

 Bro, my motor is done CDB 2.1 built stroke cams etc etc. Im picking up motor this weekend and hopefully have it dropped in by next week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Wow see now makes me want to go towards the 2.5 then

I loved my 2.5/holset very fun daily but 2.35 the better choice for rpm work.

[BlueTeamRacing]

I love my 2.0ltr. Can push to over 550kw atws. Considered trying different options but figure why change something thats good. But my car is built for circuit racing not drag.
