This is awesome news!!! I so badly want this car to succeed.

Now we just need to start hearing stuff like this for the 3.8 and I will be ecstatic!!!

Agreed with the BR guys.. There will be a plethora of parts to choose from. And I have a feeling some initial parts offerings for the 3.8 will be coming out soon.

Man, I'm getting stoked about the R-Spec and this engine. I always thought I wanted the 3.8 but I don't want all that heavy track-unfriendly crap the Track model comes with. I dunno.... decisions...

Actually, I noticed something.. how do you think the 2 bolt mains will hold? Maybe just some ARP studs? I think the EvoX has 4 bolt mains right?

Yes the EVO X does have 4 bolt mains. I don't think the 2 bolt mains will be much of a concern for the Bolt on people, but when you start making some serious HP I think they will have to be addressed. We are currently studying different options that we may have to address this. I am going to push the 2 bolt main block though first.

Keep us posted on what you find! and the Best of luck to you guys

wrong...both Ralliart and Evo X share the semi-closed mitsu 4B11T.

Semi open = Semi closed??

Edit
oh i get what you said lol

"The Ralliart is powered by Mitsu's new 4B11. This is the same 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC intercooled and turbocharged engine found in the new Evo X. However, it has been detuned to a still-respectable 237bhp and 253lb-ft of torque. The Ralliart's 4B11 retains the semi-closed deck four-bolt main block and the reinforced reciprocating Evo X assembly that includes pistons by Mahle and strengthened connecting rods."

open deck + boost...hmm, kinda scary.

I don't think that the block guard will help this engine much if at all. The block guard in the honda are used for a few different reasons, but because this engine was designed with boost in mind, they have already built in strengths in the block that a honda does not have. The sleeves are actually a lot thicker than what i had initially thought or looked like. Can't wait.

Any chance a EVO X block would bolt up to this head?

well, at least that isn't a question that has already been asked before, typically people ask if the evoX heads would bolt up to the Theta II block..

theironmonk · 03-11-2009, 12:42 PM

Do the EvoX and theta have the same motor mount placement?

Tufast · 03-11-2009, 12:54 PM

It's simple, for those wanting well over 400whp, switch to the 6cyl or be ready to spend alot of dough on the 4.

Brillo · 03-11-2009, 01:55 PM

over 400whp? seriously? Do you have any idea how much power that really is?

Maybe its just maturity after doing this for a while, but there is a point at which a car can have too much power, the chasis is overloaded, and the other components, cooling, tranny, diff etc.. are a hicup away from being destroyed.

You do realize that at some point, more power doesn't make you faster don't you?
