The 2.4 ended its life on Gotland Ring last year. :huh:

 

This engine is my old original with som mods. :tt:

 

Original 2.2 bottom with balance shaft delition kit and 5kg flyweel.

Patriot Performance CNC ported head (+0.5 valves) and compcam stg 4 exhaust/stg 3 inlet.

Homemade race hedder tuned to 89 degree BDTC exhaust opening.

AT Power 42 mm shaftless throttle bodies

Homemade inlet manifold.

 

The engine is restrickted to 7000 rpm due to the fact that piston and rods is original.

Tuned to 305 NA flywheel HP and lasted for 40 min. 7400 RPM on standard engine bottom equal short life. :tt: This VX220 will take a rest enginevice in 2014. I bought a second VX220 turbo rolling chassis that need attensione.

Crank good for 600 bhp so doubt it but one has let go above 8000 rpm. Rods would not have been happy rated up to 250 bhp and the pistons would be next in line. Which was it?
