yeah it is. The dude who I know also sells them on ebay. haha You should check him out tho if you need a turbo, I have talked to some ppl he has sold them to and they are really happy with everything. See I was thinking about an engine rebuild or maybe swap. Im also swapping from an AT to MT in like a month. What do you think? Should I just do an engine rebuild or swap to a 2.4L?

i paid exactly $745.90 for my je pistons(8.6:1) and eagle rods shipped, but you would still need to have your block bored out .20 over for the pistonsto fit

2.4L swap would put out more power in the end.

You can get a 2.4L engine for around $300 and the SRT-4 pistons and rods (used) for about $150.
