    Re: So, you want a 2.4 in your car.... here's some info.

    Is it cheaper to pick up a 2.4 Longblock and modify it for a turbo set-up or would it be cheaper to purchase an SRT-4 2.4 Longblock. I have been seeing quite a few SRT long blocks going for $2,0000.

    Mario.
    Cheaper depends on what you can get and where you can get it.

    If you want to make it a srt motor swap keeping everything stock SRT then that may be a cheaper route. Here are my costs to date:
    2.4 block $75
    2.0 Head $150
    intake manifold (2.4 van) $50
    Mexican turbo manifold $170
    2.5 turbo rods FREEBIE (Already had them)
    Used SRT4 oil pan, pump, pickup and water pump $110
    Brand new Holset HY35 turbo $230
    _______________________________________________

    So thats a grand total of $785 so far. Now, I'll need 4 venolia pistons, rings,machine shop work, head studs, upper and lower gasket sets, main bolts, ARP exhaust studs, and some more minor odds and ends.

    But, how will it compare to a stock SRT4 2.4 block??? You decide.

    Well, I guess I'd better go aftermarket. I was hoping to save a little money since I already have some turbo 2 rods.

    Frank, what kind of engien assembly do you want? Do you want a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.2 stroker motor? If you want a whole engine, I would say get a SRT motor from ebay and start there.

    About $250 for the rods and pistons. I know, I came very, very close to buying them until pops called off the project.

    How much are SRT 4 heads going for these days?

    Also is what I hear true? That a stock 2.4 head will indeed flow better than a fully ported Steve Menagon 8v head?

    Anyways sounds like the 2.4 swaps are fairly cheap.

    What kind of engine managment is everybody running?

    Can I just let Cindy handle all that computer bullcrap? Does she make anything like that? I'll have to call her I suppose.

    Dave, it really depends on what you want. If you are going to run a distributor off of the cam, that's one thing, you can make a 2.5 or 2.2 computer work.

    I like all the options that you get with the megasquirt and spark, so I'm going that route. Complete control designed for this motor.

    I'll basically be copying OhioRob's setup. Him and I will both be building it together, so whatever he says works I'll do. I'm just doing my homework to see what kind of setup will suit me best.
