I beat a srt-4?
Srt-4 turbo, chill factory regulator and 28.1 lb/hr injectors with a in tank walboro pushing the fuel. And I got my waste gate for 8-10psi of boost but to scared to install it. I get very bad torque steer and tires break loose at random times. I am buying better axles and some nice radials, hope that will fix it. I just hope the centerforce clutch holds that power, I couldn't find ratings for them. I figure my car weighs almost 3,000 so I plan to drop weight also, hope that wont make driving worse. Oh yea I am running stock dohc with around 120k miles (as far as I know)
What do you guys think about changing the rods but not the pistons for more boost? Does anyone know the limit on the stock pistons? I would also like to point out I ran the car 6k miles with the turbo and I have had no issues and the motor still runs very good. Last time I blew it up with 5 miles on it, and the one before was 3,500 miles. So I guess I learned alot. Achievement for me

Well the SRT pistons would hold more boost, its the same bore size plus with you already running a DOHC set up I would think there wouldnt be a problem. As for torque steer lol get use to it, even with a SRT trans you still get the steer. Do you have posi? Put in the better waste gate, one guy on here is running 10 psi and dynoed at 212hp I think. To bad you didnt live in CA, Ill show you what a SRT with mods can do hahaha, but its all good. The gen1 can be quick boosted, I havent ran one or seen one here. What fuel controller are you useing?

2.4 pistons won't work in a 2.0...different rods, different piston pin diameter and different height.
Yes I use a aem wideband, I know the rods wont work from a 2.4. I beat a 13.7 daytona r/t running 16psi today . I am still on 4.5psi. And the srt-4 I raced did have mods. I was thinking of running eagle rods, stock sohc pistons on the dohc with 14psi daily driver. Oh, will power steering being reinstalled help torque steer?
