I am very humbly asking serious machinist/builders to step inside.

Right, the 2.4 standard pistons are a .060 2.0 piston, thus the use of "regular" instead of "standard."

[CrackedDSM]

It should be worth noting that a large advantage of the 2.4 over the 2.3, is the 2.4 blocks are 6mm taller in deck height than the 2.0 blocks.

As I've said before, what is the purpose of the car??? What benefits would a 2.0 have over a 2.3?

Wow, relax man. I wasn't arguing, more so clarifying a point you made. You said high revving and 2.3 which is simply not the case. I loved my 2.3 for street duty with a little bit of track sessions thrown in...but it wasn't the best drag motor. You were on point asking the purpose of the car as that is a huge contributing factor. My high compression aluminum rod 2.0 can rev to the moon, but it wouldn't be the best street setup...vice versa on the 2.3.

We rev 2.3's with billett cranks to 9k all day. Same as with 2.4 Long Rods.

It is also worth mentioning that if you do a long rod motor whether it be a 2.0 or a 2.4 you need custom pistons or you have to use 2.3 pistons that are a point higher in compression then what you actually are looking for.

No one is disputing they can be revved to 9k.

Agreed, alot of things CAN be over revved.

Loki, fantastic man, that's the info I was looking for .

11sec, what are you talking about, am I an angry typer? I'm not angry or anything else I just want real information. Nothing worse that searching and finding a long thread with no real info, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Well, I am building a 2.3 race motor for a custom car installation later! I have a 91 block, 100mm 6-bolt crankshaft, and I just bought a set of Wiseco stroker pistons 86mm 8.8:1 & Eagle rods.
It is going in the back of a mid-engine street car to power the rear wheels. I want to pick the best turbo for the application, to make between 550-650HP, but have the quickest spool on the 2.3 for the street. I am also thinking I want a head with +1mm oversize valves for this 2.3, best idea for this combo right.

I am doing this simultaneously while working on my '91 Talon I have ALL built up for years now still never finished for its 'completed' goals yet, it is running a 2.0 block (actually an N/A block with no oil squirters- some may argue not best but others will say its fine, original rods modified to fit 2G pistons at 8.5:1, headwork and cams, and I just bought a 20G turbo to swap out for the chinese e16G I had on there! I can't wait to get pushing some serious boost..

The 1mm over valves really arent worth the time and money spent, especially with your goals.
