A few people who have tried the 92mm crank(2.4L). Most with dissapointing results.
That I know of only two or three, of the seven or eight that tried it are still running.
Have all your work done by someone who is experienced, and knows very well what they are doing.
For example, one failure was due to inproper sleeving of the block. Thus, it dropped a sleeve.
Another was due to an unknown reasons that caused the oil pressure to suddenly drop, motor ran dry and threw a rod through the block coming from a stop at a light(@ low rpms)
The engines that are still running where all sleeved, decked, etc. by one company. Mazworks
These engines are streetable, and they seem to be running very well/healthy.
So if all the work is done properly, then its like any other engine, it will be fine.

If I was putting in all that money, I'd go ahead and use the 6-speed. But people have used P11 5speed transmissions.
Its really up to you, depends on what all you'll be using the car for.(track, drag, autox, etc.)

I'm just trying to be helpful. Alright I was wrong in, apparently all, my information. when I read about people doing it I asked questions and I was told to search. So there is what I gathered.
So please, if you have all the correct information please do tell, as I'd like to know also.
All of the problems that have happened over time with the 2.4L builds had no common tie to each other.
Further, these problems had nothing to do with being a "2.4L" whether bore or crank, with the exception of one where the crank lost its hardness after a crank grind.
I never said there was a common tie with the failures. I know two(iirc) that dropped sleeves, one had an oiling issue, etc.
I know the cranks werent at fault either.

out of all of them i think only 1 is currently running. well one in this country that i know of.
the other few have had to been taken apart and fixed for one reason or another.
like sr20gti-r said, there is no one link tieing all the failure together. but with all the failures we have built up a large list of do's and dont's.
can it be done, clearly yes. has it been done reliably in my eyes no.
mine failed pretty epicly, will i build one agian. absolutely, but not until i see alot more being successfully up and running with no issues.
until then ill be doing a built 2.0 liter.
building a 2.4 is very complicated and takes a keen eye and knowledge of motors and sr20's.
i look foward to the day were 2.4s are common place, and ill happily jump back on board !
to the OP good luck in wichever path you choose, a ve is no slouch in any variation.
Hi my knowledge on cars isn't that big I have a brand new sr20ve 20v with 6 speed gearbox and drive shafts. after I bought it I realized it does not bolt in.the fact is it's a big job to install and I never found anyone to do the job for me.money isn't a problem for me so I want to a big bore setup but they seem unreliable. can use please tell they best hassle free way of doing a nice powerful street car. As I said before I don't no much about cars and I don't no much people who work with cars. My car is a 2000 model Nissan pulsar sss thanks when my car is done I will give a nice donation to this site thanks again
