I've got my 2366 listed here for sale. While I never ran it (so take this with a grain of salt) I did a fair amount of research before I started collecting parts for the build. What I found really boiled down to a few things:
1) Bigger cylinder bore = less cooling surface = need for additional cooling 2) To address the need for additional cooling, you'll need to at least add an auxiliary oil cooler and / or improved cooling like the DTM system 3) Piston rings won't last long, ~10,000 miles I wasn't planning on using the car as my DD, so the decreased ring life wasn't an issue for me and adding an oil cooler is a fairly straightforward process. |
