I own a 09 X 77000km 400hp at engine Driven Evo 7 and 8 Here is my general experience The 4g simply feels more raw and brutal with sudden boosting feels very strong but definitely feel the lag and sluggishness in the lower rpms The Evo X feels definitely more refined less brutal more consistent torque and power band through the revs The turbo lag is minimal and car responds so rapidly to boost and picks up speed to fast it’s shocking After fast it spools and slams through the gears It’s by far the more advanced faster and more reliable engine.
My 4B11 is the same setup as that one, with the Darton sleeves. Borg Warner 8374 twin scroll, 93 octane, AMS TMP cams, fully built... 600 HP/400TQ at 27 PSI, takes it no problem, I’ve done some pretty wild shit in the snow full throttle for like 2 minutes straight and it got toasty under the hood, but didn’t phase it, built Jacks transfer case. The problem is the tranny, they’re real easy to kill. Diffs are real strong. If the tranny were stronger, the Evo X would be one if the best platforms for making huge power and hooning around
I just had my dry sleeves drop. 1000kms later they all dropped 2 thou even Letting hg blow. Ive just decked it back flush so hopefully its good again. Next time im going wet sleeves
There’s also another option for the 4b11 Cylinder support systems. It makes the simiopen deck to a closed deck. Can probably do 1000 hp on stock sleeves with a ccs block if your making close to 800 on simiopen and it cheap
I do not know of any options other then dry sleeves = open deck , wet sleeves = closed deck, or block guard = which is open deck with support. Would u be able to send me a link to an example of what ur talking about ?
I bought a lancer race car with a 4b11 NA motor in it. I sent it to a machine shop to have work done and discovered that the crankshaft is NOT a 4b11 crank. The rod journals are measuring 1.8882 which seems to be close to the 4G63 crank size. Is it possible to fit a 4g63 crank in a 4b11 block?
It's interesting you love the Darton. A big head gasket manufacturer was telling me it's junk and just because it's the most popular doesn't mean it's the best sleeve.
Informative video. My 4b11 has ERL 87.5mm wet sleeves, it doesn't have the cylinder support like the darton sleeves. Hopefully it can still handle the 850-900whp I am about to throw at it :D
First of all? I would like to say amazing explanation I came across loads of 4g63 vs 4b11 however I have yours to be more user friendly. I run an Evo 9 race car need your opinion on Spark plugs what spark plugs would you run in your race cars - thanks
Not a fan, it was very popular on Honda's back in the days. If ur getting to the point where u need block guards/closed decking welded or not, might as well sleeve the block.
I have a 4b11 with a built bottom end, but no sleeves. It's a 86.5 overbore. What do you think the max HP and torque should be on the stock sleeves? Does the overbore significantly weaken the block?
All on the power ur trying to achieve , bigger the bore on stock sleeves the weaker ur aluminum cylinder will be. I personally would not go more then 20 over.
U do have to shim the buckets and adjust to lash. It's recommend u do stronger springs and retainers and replace ur stock valves with none hollow ones. I go one step further and delete the exhaust mivec cam gears.

Hey bro love this video can you make a video about how to replace a sleeve those are hard to find i want to know if it’s possible to change just one like they say you can
4g63 block from factory is stronger. 4b11 is more efficient. Block can be sleeved to hold similar Power. Evo 8/9 lighter and easier to make fast on dragstrip. Evo x heavier and cost more to make fast on drag strip. Evo x has a better chasis but weighs more. $ for power analysis the 4g63 would win. $ for speed analysis Evo 8/9 would win. This is probably because the 63 motor has been around for a while and more support is available. Same for the car.
Do you know the weight difference between your darton sleeved 4b11 and a 4g63 block? I imagine weight would be the main benefit. Slightly better heat dissipation on an alu block aswell I guess.
Do not know actual difference but from picking it up I would estimate 25-30lb difference even with sleeves. Also the iron of the 4g63/64 is different then that of the sleeves. The sleeve material is much stronger compound then the iron block.
One point of your description of the 4b11 is a little unclear. The block is aluminum but it already has steel sleeves from the factory as all aluminum blocks do. The performance sleeves replace the factory
There's been guys in the DSM community that have made 600Awhp on stock 4g63 internals, but as for longevity who the hell know's. 500AWHP is pretty attainable and easily, not bad for an engine that came out in 1982...... 4B11 has the advantage by a long ways. How much power have people even made with the 4B11?
I think it comes down to what you're looking for in an engine. If you want to modify your car and run big power the 4g63 is the 'better' engine because it is stronger. But on the other hand the 4b11 is lighter, quicker throttle response, revs more freely. Which in a stock or lightly modded car is better. I have an evo 7 and a sti and everybody says the ej257 is a crap engine because of its chocolate pistons. Well yes arguably from a reliability stand point the ej isn't a great engine. But the way the engine performs is brilliant. It's smooth, has lots of torque and a generally really pleasant engine for a road car, far nicer than the 4g63 in the evo.
Ok I will put the aluminum 4g63😁up against the 4b11t I a head to head shoot out, bother with 8685 turbo, let's see which one survives the longest, 80+lbs of boost......

I own a 09 X 77000km
400hp at engine
Driven Evo 7 and 8
Here is my general experience
The 4g simply feels more raw and brutal with sudden boosting feels very strong but definitely feel the lag and sluggishness in the lower rpms
The Evo X feels definitely more refined less brutal more consistent torque and power band through the revs
The turbo lag is minimal and car responds so rapidly to boost and picks up speed to fast it’s shocking After fast it spools and slams through the gears
It’s by far the more advanced faster and more reliable engine.
Great information. Quick break down was very informational. Now we know what needs to be done to our 4b11 to make em go fast.
Fuel injectors, upgrade the clutch ,and larger intercooler is pretty much all you need to make 500-700
