Cool. What does his car weigh and what tires was that on?
Any idea how many miles/passes are on the rods?

I think Paul was saying the motor has 200 miles and if I recall correctly from Dave’s thread on evom the motor has 10 passes on it tops.

that seems like a motor ready to make some serious power! idk why but i just cant imagine using alum rods on anything but an all out drag car that gets rebuilt yearly

Motor has 100 miles on it of track/dyno time. His car weighs around 150 less than mine and he used motorcycle slicks

Dope

Sounds good. :slight_smile:

Hot Damn. Nice

dave has finished my original long rod motor and is now up for sale for anyone with a 4G63 that wants to go fast :slight_smile: its just the bottom end for sale

this is a steel rod motor, it has BR spec steel rods and BR spec JE Tough Skirt Coated Forged Pistons. it will handle anything you throw at it.

price is $3050 with a good block/crank

I dunno much about Evos but it seems that the price on your built motor isnt too bad.

His car made 800 hp though, at like 45 psi on that turbo :slight_smile:

I’d say great deal but the only thing I dislike about that motor is the aluminum rods.

They are great for performance but I would dislike checking every season if/when the rods began to stretch.

+1 I’d hate replacing those every winter or sooner. I’d never put them in a street car.

no need, i wont be doing either of those. i aint skurred, ive been over this numerous times with david and has no concerns at all about aluminum rods. he just tore apart a motor that had 10k+ on alum rods and had no signs of stretch at all, motor was never checked prior.

Out of curiosity, is there any proof that they stretch? I believe the tensile strength of aluminum is as much as steel.

bing, bang, BEWM the motor is done! heading down friday to pick up the beast. motor/trans will be back in the car saturday, gonna be A LOT of progress this weekend.

ill spectate

I actually retract my statement about rod stretch.

Maybe they do on v8’s but after a chat with Emery@STM today he enlightened me about the weight of an evo piston weighing next to nothing - Which makes a ton of sense to me.

Enjoy the motor!

motor is home!
