How did you like the 2.4LR?

On a side note, anyone know anyone with a srt4 that would be interested in a triple pod, stg1 ecu, or agp adjustable wastegate?
Like I said, it is an easy 500whp turbo on 93-octane.

Yeah I got that. I'm just curious if it was still rev friendly. Some say you can't rev high others say you can rev it just as high.

I have no idea what you mean by "can't rev high", my friend.

There is no limit to how high you can rev a turbo as it is just a fast spinning piece of equipment to put it simply.

The turbo is slightly larger than a FP Black and there are people making over 600whp on E85 with it.

I was making 30PSI at 4,500 with my 2.4LR.

What more do you need to know?

There is a trade-off, my friend. There is really no need to shift past 8,500 RPM with a 2.4LR engine. Depending on what you plan to do with the car and your turbo selection, each engine size has its ups and downs.

Yeah I know what you mean by the trade off. Just curious as to how you liked yours. Some people say they will never go back to a 2.0 just looking for your thoughts.

8,500 RPM was fine based on how I used the car which was a street brawler.

Exhaust Shop - I found a crack in my RS-R in the stretch between the rear lower control arm and the actual muffler. Where can I take this to be stitched back up? I've tried that Bills before on Business 190 and they don't even have the capability to lift an AWD car.

Ended up cutting out a section of the RS-R and replacing with more 3" piping; where the label badge (you know, the mad JDM part) was welded to had rusted through, damn it. $55, not bad.
