Isn't the LE5 crank cast how much hp is it good for?

All the ecotec cranks are pretty beefy. I'd be surprised to see anyone having trouble at anything less than 600hp.

Has anybody broken a 2.4 crank?

Tjolley

It lives!!!

This is the very first start up notice the new engine rattles and noises. After about 2 min its silent. Runs well
The valve train sound like stock.

Nice clean first start.

Tjolley

Car sounds amazing with the Cams and high compression.

It revs like a ****.
Havnt messed with the tune this was the tune from my 2.0 un Modied.
After i warmed up i drove it a Lil and the car seemed to always want to die coming back to idle. Im sure its just the tune.

I wanna get a 2.4 stroker for my lnf

ItalianJoe1

Dude... 8K into the build... wow

Makes me look at the pricing breakdown i'm doing for my potential 2.1L hybrid and just realize that it's not nearly as expensive as I think

Mine will be quite stock though, nothing nasty like that.

iTrader: (17)

That's what I'm saying. Unless they really do have crazy overlap/duration


Trevor do you have adjustable cam gears?

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

its not a stroker its a 2.4 with an lsj head on it

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

Tjolley

my oil cooler arives today so the car is going back in the garage to pull the front bumper off to mount this huge cooler and oil thermostat housing and lines to go with it all. new oil pressure guage and oil temp guage on the way
