Default GO 2.4 OR GO HOME

well i road in a srt 4 with a stage 3 turbo and does not even compare to anything that i could ever have with my motor and money situation i have been looking around and have found a great deal a srt4 motor with 38k and trany axels and any ohter thing that i need for $2500 so is that worth the money to do the swap?? i think that i have some help to do the swap i was wondering how long would it take to do it but anyway give me some feedback on the deal [sm=yikesomg.gif]

the 2.0 can get up to 400-430....and i don't think the 2.4 is the best example of a super engine they make engines way above 7.0

however the 2.4 is the best 4 banger imo you 'can' get up to 600hp with alot of work but who wants that much in a neon[&:]

Merlins (Chevy BB-based) can go 632 inch (10.4L) and there's now an 830 inch (13.6L) Ford-based V-8. Mopar's biggest is the 528 Hemi (8.7L).

But 2.4 is on the larger side of modern 4 cylinder gas engines.

As for your question to the pcm jelly.
No if you have the pcm you can not use it you would need to buy a brand new never been used or seen a flash. Most people just are forced to go and shell out the money to get the stock pcm. Or get megasquirt.
