is common to remove balance shafts?
any problems with durability?
is there a better camshaft made for it?
better induction and exhaust?
anyone get much gains from porting?
is there a aftermarket company that specializes in these engines?
is it best to use the MOPAR head gasket?

 

If you use MOPAR anything youre getting parts for the wrong engine. You own a Mitsubishi 4G64, hit up your Mitsubishi dealer for parts.

If you want performance, drop a DOHC head off an Evo (4G63) and maybe turbo...

 

no wonder all the bolts are 12....14...17....
got the engine and trans out today. got the car for 800, bent valves from bad timing belt. i usually drive and work on 86 to 95 daytona's spirits and acclaim's. really like the look of this 02 Stratus. gotta re-learn everything though. i'll check out forums for the Mitsubishi engine....thanks

 

i need exhaust parts for my 02 stratus sxt, would like to up date to larger tubing. any one make a 3" system?

i found a header, not sure if it's much better than what was one it.

not ready for turbo charging , unless someone has a idea of what is needed

 

3" pipe is useless unless you go turbo, which couldnt be easier since everything from a 95-99 Eclipse will swap over, along with an EVO 8 till the newest. (2003+)

If you want sound, unbolt the muffler near the rear subframe, make a flange, and make a pipe that deletes the muffler and brings a straight pipe out. You still retain the 2 catalytic converters and resonators but gives it a deeper sound.

 

thanks for the help.....its a hole new world with this car. where can i learn more about it? i have the service manuals, where do i go for aftermarket parts ?
DOHC and Turbo conversions with how to and items needed, i'm sure the ECU will have to be changed

 

Its highly frowned upon to 'recruit', but since you asked im hoping theyll let it slide...

www.2gstratus.org is the know all for this platform. www.club3g.com will help you with everything mechanical as well.

 

will Eclipse parts work on my Dodge 2.4?

need heat shield for exhaust manifold, also possibly a new exhaust manifold/converter.

 

what is the direction of rotation on my 02 stratus coupe 2.4 ?
