what could you do to increase the compression to somethign closer to 12;1?

 

buy new pistons

 

ok you will need to run the 24lb injectors anyways for the 2.4 swap... and will be enuf for the extra boost in compression...

the 2.4 is a tq monster anyways plus the bump in compression is going to add more then the sohc is going to add more... so say the least yoru going to have a tq laviaton...

ATX tranny acually performs better with the increase in tq then when used with a lesser powered 2.0.... you may need to adjust the kickdown a bit to better handle the increase in hp and tq so it will shift appropriotly but it will like it...

 

Hey thats awesome to know, now instead of dreading the job I'm really looking forward to what lays ahead. I might actually want to take the car back from my wifelol. thanks alot Jeremy I really appreciate it.

Also with the 2.4 i have some questions about the alternator and power steering pump brackets i know you probably have this in your swap info but I didn't see anything when I skimmed through about why I would need a PT cruiser bracket for the Alternator and Power steering. Are they too big or in the way? or just bad spot?

thanks.

 

lol i dont remember why you need them.. but you just do they wernt to spendy so i didnt see it as being a problem to need them...

 

so you saying if i put the Sohc head on my car would be even faster then it already is... if thats true
im gonna get a race ported sohc head with a crane cam

 

Its got a pretty good design maybe not as efficient as adohc but for na and near stock build the sohc is the way to go for a 2.4 from what I've heard just because you don't have to take the motor all the way apart to puthigher compression pistonsin and both heads flow very well. I'm sure when you get down to max power and unlimited moneya dohc is the best but for applications with near stock parts the sohc is a pretty good head. Like i said in the other thread of Jeremys that I had did the dohc swap on my first 5 speed neon and I was disapointed there wasn't a more noticable gain if any at all. I wanted to feel a gain but I could never say there was a gain because I thought it was in my head but I swapped the dohc tranny from the donor car and I was very very fast then. Night and day.

Horsepower aside theres only 2-3ft lbs of torque difference between the sohc and dohc and so the gearing makes all the difference and sohc gears suck (for power anyway).

Right now I'm porting the head from my 95 motor and I think it will be a nice fit for the 2.4 seeing its got theagressivefactory cam in it not the dogwater 96-99 cam. I'm just excited to have a 2.4 and I can't wait for the torque fest. This should be able to smoke a Quad 4CavalierI suspect?

 

[quote] yes in the 2.0

go check out the 2.4 stats

150 hp 165 lbs of torque

2.0 stats
150hp 133 lbs of torque

its it whole differant monster[8D]

 

this is what i'm tryeng to do right now to my race car i got a couple questions ?could i run the stock 95 sohc injectors on stock intake or would i have to get bigger ones ?

 

and if i use the 2.4 block with 2.0 head what timing gears do i need the sohc or dohc ?
