Edited with current setup:
Forward Motion Enforcer shortblock
Eagle Rods
JE Pistons
Cylinder Head by Steve Menegon
Stainless valves
Crane "18" Camshafts
Custom intake manifold, header, downpipe by Brian Slowe
Precision Gen 1 6262SP ball-bearing turbo
Frozen boost intercooler
With several years of debating what the next engine for the Horizon will be, a few months ago I came to the conclusion that I would be building up a 2.4/automatic drivetrain for it.
Over the past few months I have been gathering parts for it.
Passenger side mount adapter from SRT4OMNI.com
Iggle (Eagle) Rods and JE pistons from Forward Motion. ~ 9:1 compression.
I have a lead on an ATI balancer for a good price, hopefully that will pan out.
Mexican Stratus exhaust manifold
I have a lightly used Super50/Stage3 turbo. Not certain this will be my final choice. I may want to get something newer-tech, but this may suit my goals.
I have a large-plenum intake that was previously used in a Neon. I'm not positive it will fit in the Horizon, but we'll see. I may end up opting for something that puts the throttle body on the passenger side for better plumbing and intercooler options.
Right now, the plan is to run SMEC electronics, with a side-mounted distributor, and maybe someday move to something user-programmable in the future. I'm pretty sure the latest cal for my 2.2 would not have the right ignition curve for the 2.4, so a new cal will be in order.
My goal for the car is to run mid 10's without the bottle.
I'm really looking forward to getting back into the fray. I'm not confident it will be back at the track this year, but possibly next season. I will update this as things progress.
