Inside a AMS 2.3RR engine

Inside the AMS 2.3RR you will find the finest components and most innovation ever seen in an Evolution engine. Some highlights of this beast include:

Pistons:
• AMS spec Ross pistons utilize our specially designed quench area.
• Slipper skirt design helps cut down the weight by using less material and using a shorter pin. The 2.3rr pins weigh 92 grams compared to standard length pins at 101 grams.
• Window milling and internal plunge milling is done to help reduce weight.
• Black skirt lube is used to help prevent galling and help reduce friction.
• Green Top Fuel Coating (similar to hard anodizing) of the entire piston is done to help prevent skirt scuffing, improve piston hardness and strength.







Connecting Rods:

• Custom manufactured to AMS specs these rods are longer than stock yet weigh less. The 2.3RR AMS rod weighs 584 grams compared to a standard length Oliver rod at 593 grams.
• Upgraded ARP 625 custom age bolts with a tensile strength of 260,000 lbs are utilized in place of standard ARP 200 bolts at 210,000 lbs.





Crankshaft:
• Made of the finest 4340 steel, the crank is core hardened, nitride, and mag-particle inspected to ensure there are no flaws.
• Knife edging is done to help cut through standing oil in the pan
• Large radii fillets increase strength
• Improved oiling by implementing cross drilled oil holes

Speaking as an educated consumer, it is most encouraging to know exactly what one is getting for the money. The real value lies in the attention to detail. Good job!

Question:

Could you still operate this engine on the stock ECU (no AEM)?
