Hey guys, im trying to do some research on the 2.0L 4 cylinder that went into production in '94. Im only interested in SOHC versions of this motor. I need to compile a year by year history and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. The motor number or nomenclature would be of tremendous help. All I know right now is that there was a 132hp SOHC and later a DOHC 150hp version. Someone told me that there was also a 150hp SOHC 2.0 dubbed the magnum. Not sure if this is accurate or not. Any and all information is tremendously appreciated.
Thanks guys.

 

Yeah apparantly there is a magnum motor SOHC ill find the pics on one.

 

Mmmm.... Magnum. I have one. Its in the 2nd gen ACR and R/T's. Pretty sweet. 150ish HP compared to 132? I believe in the normal SOHC? correct me if Im wrong. Other than that there is info everywhere on the web, just google that **** homie.

 

www.allpar.com has some great info on the motor. It really hasn't changed much from the first run. The cam, bearing arrangement (minor), head/pcv system, and oil pan changed in '96. There were aluminum intake manifolds to start, and the plastic ones were introduced at some point. The Magnum (dual intake runner design) became available in 2001 on the R/T and ACR models, and the cam changed in 2002. The crank changed on all engines in 2003 as did the compression ratio on the non-Magnum cars. Otherwise, it's the same block from day one.
