Can anyone explain the benefit of the 2.34l in this comparison? It seems that the 2.5 is a clear winner here.

I bet the 2.34 lays the smackdown on it when the car is dyno'd to 9-9.5 though.

The point would be, why have a powerband that starts at 6000rpm and goes to 9000 rpm when you can have a powerband with more tq that comes in sooner (say 5000rpm) and revs out to 8000-8500 rpm or even higher with a properly build 2.5

you would be achieving the same powerband without, with more tq and essentially faster response by not needing to be as high up in the RPM range to make power

huge cams giant turbo and he doesnt even have avcs working. Id say not bad spool for that case. esp when that engine is gonna rev past 9k.

that 40r is getting spool at 5300 without avcs working. thats good even for a 2.5
so more like 4500 with avcs and going to 9k equals a 4500 rpm powerband. show me a 2.5 with a solid 4.5k rpm powerband

One of the benefits for the LR engines is the ability to rev and carry the gear longer....So basically any highway pull the LR engine is going to be much faster due to the mechanical advantage and the VE of the motor itself....As long as the heads and intake are massaged to be in the same rpm range....I believe Micah with 3MI racing is working on such an intake and both Micah 3MI and Dom with MPS have heads that will work in a 9000rpm engine....I am not sure of any other builder working towards this type of engine....

If you look at the small cubic inch engines that are trying to compete in the 60-130mph times it takes HIGH rpms and HIGH horsepower in order to run good times....(the captain obvious statement)

When I build my block it is going to be an 11 to 1 LR 2.35 or 2.43 engine in hopes of spinning to 8500-9000 with two turbo selections.....A quick response turbo of a 35r and a high horsepower turbo of a 42r or so.....Granted the motor will only run on E85....

The bottom line is this....It is an individual choice in engine set up.....

I don't think many builders are going to recommend this style of motor (LR) for someone looking for under 500whp or serious daily driving...

The LR engines are going to shine in drag racing, mile racing, and road racing applications. I think the LR motor and a 35/37R would be an absolutely fantastic daily driver....

I love my long rod motor so far. Full boost by 4000 on a turbonetics gtk500, 280 cams with headwork. Great for drivability. I have not been able to wind out any gears higher than third yet on my 07 sti tranny.

I have not even finished tuning it yet. I just switched to e85, and speed density.

This is exactly my view on the matter. The ONLY viable benefit I see from having to rev that high is to extend the gear range. Aside from that the larger displacement and less over square engine wins in every other category.

Maybe I'm missing something though.

It's not suppose to end at 7500rpm. It's suppose to keep going upto 9k rpm. From the mods for the 2.34, the powerband was shifted all the way to the right and then you are comparing it to a motor with the powerband not shifted to the right as much. You can even see the 2.5 starting to run out of breath by 7k rpm while the 2.34 looks like it wants to keep going.

I have been in Doms 07 STi with his 2.34l motor with practically nothing done to the heads. It's a seriously smooth motor that while it doesn't have massive power before 4k rpm, it has pep in that range. It just WANTS to rev. Aside from the poor gas milage it gets, it makes for a fantastic DD IMO.

That 2.5l setup could easily go to 8k+ RPM as well. Also notice its running less boost than the 2.34 and seems to be running out of fuel up top. I just don't understand why people think the 2.5's can't rev out. They're already fairly short stroke engines so piston speeds are not a big issue.

I think the purpose of the 2.34 is rod ratio more than anything. That's something I think we can all agree that the Subaru engines lack.

That first 2.34 Dyno graph was my break in tune. The engine essentially had about an hour of run time on it at this point, which is why It was only ran to 7500 rpms. It was utilizing the stock ECU and Speed Density via cobb AP. (This was done back in early august). However, the two graphs are not necessarily apples to apples comparison. I changed a number of things between the two engines.

The 2.34 has larger lift cams, a bigger exhaust housing (0.95 vs 0.85), and adjustable exhaust cam gears.

I did this engine because I wanted to try something new. It didn't cost me any extra to go this route than it would have cost me to go with a 2.5L setup. I do know of one local 2.5L engine that runs to 9k routinely at the drag strip, and he's been using the same engine for 2 seasons now I believe without any issues. He runs low to mid 9's pretty consistently with an almost identical setup to mine.

Back in November I had the chance to get the car back on the dyno. I changed the ID1000's out for a set of ID2000's and E85. I made some adjustments to the exhaust cam timing. I spooled 700 rpms earlier and gained 20-30wheel hp and 20-50 ft lbs of tq at the same 7500 rpm redline (As welll as over the entire rev range) and the same boost.

Hopefully on Feb 4th I will have it back on the dyno and run some real boost through it.




Here's the video from the very first time with a 2.5L... The car spun a rod bearing on the dyno about 15 minutes after this which is the whole reason I had to build an entirely new engine.

Ed,

I think it is just personal preference....The motor being better persay is upto the individual buying the motor....The 2.34 and 2.43L destroked LR motors have better volumetric effiency than the 2.5L....

It is really a moot point though....The bottom end is reliability....the power is in the breathing....

(Rant off topic) When is a company going to come out with a head/cam combo including upgrade/larger throttle body and a better intake manifold.....

I dont want people to think that all we build at MPS in destroked wonders (LOL). Every engine we build is custom tailored to that specific customers needs with their vehicle. We still build plenty of 2.5s, big bore 2.6s and big bore 2.34=2.5.
Driving both of them on a regular basis I must say I like the destroked engine. Its a whole lot smoother power and more controllable over the larger stroke 2.5. Some like torque down low and that large stroke engine. No problem with that. Plus the shorter stroke has better wear because of less sideloading. Thus maybe making it last longer in the long run.
Ill never put one in my Forester with a spec B 6sp though, that will stay 2.5.

Has anyone decided to spec a specific gear set for the long rod motors to really take advantage of their powerband....

I think everyone already pointed out the vast differences in the setup. Also not that the EJ25 is peaked and the 2.34 is just at that plateau point.

Turn up the boost and see the peaks in the tq curve come out even more.

It was to broaden and flatten the tq curve, yielding better timing in gear and a higher rate of averaged acceleration.

Keep in mind that I originally designed the engine around a 4" bore, so now you have the EJ25 stomping ability of the 2.34 but with only a lack of 32cc. Now keep in mind the long rod bringing up the VE where you actually use your car...at RPM.

Yes, they can but it doesn't mean they're 'happy' and for the same RPM you have more stress on every component in the engine with the destroked engine...oh and your crank has more flex = loss of power

160 mph...just punched it into the spreadsheet.


To Ed,

Put simply, a lot of guys don't understand the intricacies of the destroked setups (where large companies did EJ25 development) and probably why there have been so many shops trying to knock off what Dom and I came up with but without the engineering to make it work. There is a reason I literally spent a year doing the original engineering work on the engine before the first prototype was made. Since then, Dom and I still share experiences and ideas and further develop the package. Dom didn't step out with his publicly until early 09 IIRC. Mine are still largely behind closed doors...just a hint, there are some new puzzle pieces over 10k
My largest gripe with the knock offs, other than trying to steal IP (), is that they suck at it and make the engine look bad when really it is just them and their research that sucks.
