im almost certain that one of those 2.4s is DOHC...im pretty sure that its the EDZ. it uses a design similar to the 4G63...

 

I won't argue with ya on that one. I'm pretty limited to the 6g73 as far as specs.
Someone should update wikipedia to note which one is dohc

 

i talked to pghsebring..his engine is indeed an EDZ stroked to 2.6..running a worked DOHC 420a head. eagle rods, JE pistons...neon RT trans, quaiffe diff.

 

The EDZ is DOHC, the EY7 is SOHC.

If its DOHC, i actually used the exhaust gasket (its MLS, very nice) from a DOHC stratus as opposed to one for a neon, sebring, etc, cause those are all crap.

An off the shelf DOHC neon manifold (from an aftermarket company) should bolt up - but i don't know what the space looks like between the back of the engine and the firewall...usually there is enough space though if its similar to a neon.

I'm pretty sure the cheapest way to go is with SRT4 pistons/rods, you used to be able to get them from cheap, i don't know if thats still true or not...but neon guys who swapped to 2.4 blocks from a stratus all just used them - they fit fine IIRC.

Hahn Race Craft sells manifolds for DOHC blocks i believe...then get a turbo and a welder, you're going to have to figure out how to get the exhuast to fit back up. Also, figure out a path to run boost pipes. If you get an intercooler, you're getting into even more mess...

The simplest way for more gas is to get a RRFPR, and a new gas pump (walbro) or at least an inline booster pump.

And what's a "turbo intake manifold"? Yours should be fine, i think some of the neon guys even run a plastic one sometimes.

EDIT: Actually, the easiest way for you will be to find a "turbo stratus" they made down in mexico, and steal all the parts off of it...bolt right up...and i think some guys use the SRT4 crap, it should bolt up too i imagine...it has a manifold/turbo all built into one thing...if it fits in the given space...and those are usually cheap to find...

 

i believe that the turbo stratus was the same drivetrain from the PT GT

 

my engine is the EDZ I4, 2.4L 146CID.

 

well then, what was your budget, is it a manual trans, etc?

 

After reading pearl01stratcpe's posts, I got really discouraged. It was just an idea and he came onto me like he knows everything there is to know about the stratus and it seemed like he was trying to say "I'm better than you". I'm scrapping the project and I'm just gonna get a 2.4L EDV HO out of a Chrysler PT Cruiser and do an engine swap.

 

interesting..is your car a stick?

 

Not yet, but I'm looking to get a 5 speed from a junkyard. There's one that has (or had. idk if they crushed them yet) about 10 cloud cars sitting in the back and 4 of them had the 5 speed.
