Hello, I have 2 engines on hand coupe 20vt and stilo 2.4. Will build one forged engine , just unsure if I want to go 2.4. I would like to hear your experience with different combinations of work done on 2.0 /2.4
Im after good power band and reliability.
So pros and cons of 2.4 conversion ?
For a 2.0 i was thinking to go for higher cr pistons ( 9:1 ) Ported & flowed head possibly 3 angle valve seats (need to do more research) Fully balanced crank ( would like to know exact benefits for coupe)
Can you guys share your experiences on different builds/parts costs/ reliabity of your coupes ? Thanks

What are the choices of rods for 2.0(being nostalgic about original displacement) seen some people using steel rods ? Are they comming of some other car that use same size rods but stronger than coupe? Or they just standart coupe rods?
