Turbo has a 04B comp housing and before I rotated the motor forward 2" the comp housing touched the firewall...

FWIW, Erich Heuschele (SRT suspension engineer) once said that the spacing was chosen to help reduce torque steer on the SRT4. He also kept saying things like "kingpin angle" and other stuff I didn't really understand. :D

Kingpin was a funny movie..:D
Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
kingpin angle is probly just referring to the point that an imaginary line drawn through the steering axis would touch the ground relative to the contact patch of the tire. A more applicable term for how wheel offset would affect torque steer is scrub radius. scrub radius is the reason you cant just stick a RWD offset 10 inch wide wheel with a huge tire on it on your car and expect it to drive worth a ----, as some people in this forum have said they wanted to try :p the same effect would also work against you from road to tire too.. from bumps, uneven pavement, locking up only one front tire, would all try to pull the wheel out of your hands too.
i think this is a major reason why most powerful cars with power through the front wheels now have way more positive offset then we do.. i.e. 3.5 nissans, subarus, etc. even AWD magnums,300s etc have way different offset than the rwd ones. who wants to deal with hemi torque steer? lol.
i bet youd find the gm supercharged 3.8 and ls3 fwds have the same deal but i dont know those for a fact like i do the others.

Looks great,I hope to see it run some time soon.

Erich's a good guy :thumb:
I think the real goal is to try to get the lower ball joint as close to wheel center as possible.

Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
You did put an oil restrictor in there right?
Is that the stock dipstick? Did you not want it inbetween the runners?
Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
I did not assemble the long block, but I think there is one in there. Where does it go?
The dipstick doesn't sit between the runners too well :(
Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
It goes in the block, think its back right
Thats what I was thinking on the dipstick

Is that Alex M's old setup????
I went skiing with him out here in Michigan one random day. He was a cool guy. I drove my old '86 on some snow tires to there with an open downpipe! :p

Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
I was wondering what ever happened to that. I thought everyone else had forgotten about it.
Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
Is the electronic distributor a Dodge piece or is this aftermarket?

It looks a tad different from when I got it HEMI orange ;)

It is a FAST eDist box
Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
Thanks for the answers. I know alot of stupid questions, but I am new to this type of electronics and you have a great setup. Have you considered making a few of the adapters you made for the crank pulley?

Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
There are no stupid questions :)
LOL, Aaron already asked. This adapter is ver specific to the 2.4L pulley. If there was a big demand I'm sure I could make another adapter for the OE or FM underdrive pulley.

Me = big demand :nod: :p
Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A555 - It's ALIVE!!!
ECU - FAST SFI8LO
eDist - FAST
Crank trigger - MSD SBC 7"
Cam trigger - MSD
Box - MSD DIS2 Plus
Do you have any pictures of how you mounted the cam trigger? Or is there already a spot on the neon head for that?
Why did you use the eDist when you already have cam and crank trigger combined with the MSD box
