someone on neons.org has already done this, so i figured i can do that too. in fact it only took a little over an hour to do this.
i have access to a big cnc mill, lathe, and other lots of great tools...yeah i know i'm a lucky bastard (d*mn i need to learn how to TIG weld :) ).
so i spend my saturdays in this shop working on the 2.4 when time allows.
anyways, even without those pads on the later blocks, it's a pretty easy job. mill a little bit down, drill holes in the right spot and you're done.
i wanted to stay with factory parts so i purchased some srt squirters and bolts (could have used bmw spray jets for the same $ but it already works on the srt - you can't go wrong).
couldn't find a way to install some on my 8v block, but i really wanted these on the 2.4 build as i find them really help full. also every other proper built turbo cars have them from the factory (cosworths, audi 5cyl turbo's, ...).
the first pic is the factory srt4 squirters, then you can see mine.
i have more pics from the whole machining process, but i have problems uploading new pics to my gallery...
EDIT: admins please move this to the 2.4 section, thanks
