still working on the car, just way too busy right now to spend time on it. fwiw i finally have my own shop again. i am also finished with the rewire and should be able to try firing it up again whenever i find the time to move the car to my shop. i'm going to sort everything out n/a first and then b...

order 21lb injectors and let the magnum ecu do it's thing. as long as you're at it you should clean up the ports on the head and intake. shouldn't take more than a couple of hours and will make a bit of a difference. if you're not changing out the exhaust then you'll be in good shape. with a mag hea...

i never sorted whether he made 400hp with the 50 trim or the gt 35r. based on the numbers that a 35r makes i'm assuming his 400whp was with a 50 trim. it just makes sense. as far as easier to build hp with a 2.4? sure if you have an srt block. just put one of asp's s256 turbo kits on it and you'll b...

roach in florida made over 400whp on a 2.0 sohc with standalone. the extra headache of the swap vs. the ease of the 2.0 isn't worth it imho. if you're a studly mechanic and don't mind hassling with the swap issues then go for it. if you're looking to make 350whp and keep things simple then keep the ...

talk to sick95sohc (arthur) and see if he'll sell you one of his superported heads. no need for a mag head if you port the mess out of a std head. after what i've learned i would just stay with a std head and port the stew out of it. there's plenty of metal to work with. the std head also has better...

headers come in short tube, mid tube and long tube. the gains go up with each one, however so do the mounting/ fitment difficulties and noise levels. pacesetter, obx and magnum are all short tube headers. i had an obx and liked it fine. it was also relatively easy to install and gave some nice gains...

advantage to using srt parts= cheap disadvantage to using srt parts= 1. you'll have to figure out an adapter plate, source all of the parts, do some fabrication, etc. etc. alot of work, but good results in the end. 2. you're stuck with an srt turbofold. if you ever decide to go nuts with an engine ...

see the thing is ia i wana stay n/a. money isnt really a problem for me so thats not the issue. i just dont want to have to deal woth the whole turbo setup and hassle. at least not for now. i plan on pickin up another neon sometime this year (preferably a 00-02) and make that my boost build. im not...

i wish it were only 2,000.00 in parts.

no worries brr, not going n/a anymore. i've already torn out most of the wiring screw-ups from dcr and am in the process of rewiring the entire ms, crane, nitrous, gauges, etc. currently working on finishing up the interior wiring and battery relocate to be able to move into the engine bay and sort ...

got what i needed. thanks danteneon.

i saw that brr had an old post of the pinout on an 02 pcm. but, the images are gone now. i need to go through mine and verify what wires were cut by dcr when installing my megasquirt. my oem manual disappeared while the car was at dcr so i'm blind right now. can someone give me a pinout diagram for ...

here's the for sale post link for anyone that may be interested. if you want something different then this is the way to go. it runs fine on 87 octane so it could easily be a daily driver. i'll make a deal for any 2gn member that's interested in the entire engine package. otherwise i'll list all of ...

Umm... Why are you trying to sell it already? BillyMike read post 738. the car is a mess and without a herculean effort, i don't have the time or resources to get it back to where it was. if i can sell the engine and then start parting it out i'll at least recoup some of my investment. for those wa...

if the 2.6 sells then i'm parting it out and i'm done. i swore i wouldn't go into it in public and i won't. i just don't have anywhere to work on the car anymore and the amount of work just to get the car back to where it was when i dropped it of at dcr is more than i'm able to do and no local shop ...

oops, didn't realize i have to have pictures of everything to try to sell it on srt forums. i'll try to take some later this week. it's always frigging something. that is of course unless someone on here is interested in a 2.6sohc motor.

come and get it

i thought i was in for sure, but my car is a mess. i may have to sit out this round. too many other things to fix on my car. i'm also a little worried about the extra inch of space i lose since i'm already 1 1/2 inches taller than a 2.0. i'll let you know.

i finally have the car. there is a lot of work to get it back to where it was before and i really don't want to hear a bunch of crap from everyone. the numbers arent what i want, but it's what i have. the numbers are as follows and it's a 2.6 sohc low compression (i'm guessing around 8:1) i am posti...

c'mon guys this stuff is awesome. can't believe these haven't been snatched up already. if i didn't already have 2 i bought from you i'd be in for one. good luck on the sale.

ok. i certainly am not an expert and am only passing along what i have been told by those who are far more experienced. fwiw, formulas are great, but not always quite as accurate as the math would indicate. for instance. back in my sailing days we used a formula for hull designs that indicated what ...

I think the tb plate size will be fine. Arthur's tb's are only 52mm, which are 2.04". Also, I like what he did with the ITB tuning, but I think it would have to be like he did, with the tubes before the tb plates, since he tried making a longer runner intake and it didn't work as well. problem is t...

just an fyi. my current mag head ports are almost 2". it may be worth upping the runner size to at least 2" and enlarge the butterfly to 2.25". there is plenty of room to hog out the stock intake to 2"+ on both the mag and non-mag head. take a look at arthur's head (sick95sohc) he's also at 2" on a ...

i'm just starting to research the itb possibility. wouldn't it be easier to take this http://www.obxracingsports.com/products.php?pk=1475 hack off the mounting plate and reweld a sohc neon, port-matched one in it's place. voila, 52mm itb's with vacuum block, etc ready to go. yes i recognize it's not...

Most don't, if any at all. Actually, I don't think I have ever seen a filter on a ITB set-up.

every bmw m3 for the past 10+ years has had itb's with a filter box.

i'd like to see that dyno chart too. it was supposed to have been tuned last week. but, then again it was supposed to have been tuned the week before as well. i have spoken with arthur aka sick95sohc and he agrees that more than likely the peak hp is probably b/w 6500 and 7k on the 2.6 as it's only ...

that's what i thought. that's not too bad. shouldn't take but a day to pull it off and put it back together. i was hoping not to have to pull the crank straps off and drop the crank. i'd pull out my oem shop manual, but dangit the thing is with the car at darrells!!!!!!

erick is indeed the voice of wisdom. maybe i'll do both. i'm still miffed that we weren't able to max out an n/a build. i have always wanted to see what the absolute most was that you could get out of a stroked 2.0 and now i'm curious to see the same for the stroked 2.4. vic just sent a pm stating t...
