Hello All,

I was just reading some magazines and most if not all the well known and popular brand name cars always have people refer to their engine type as a certain code. For instance the new Mitsubishi Lancer has the engine code of 4B11 as what the new block is I suppose. Now I am curious if anyone knew what our engine code for our cars are? I guess there is one for the 2.0 Liter and another for the 2.4 liter. I know that the Neons are on a PL platform - kinda like when GM advertised the newer cars they have are on the new Zeta platform. Curious if anyone had some info on this...

Much care,

Frank

I know that they're around, try doing a search.

A855 is the 2.4L Turbo out of the SRT-4
A853 is the 2.4L Turbo out of the PT GT

S4RE, D4RE, (ECC, ECB, ECC) are the 2.0litres

The new Evo, Current Eclipse GS, and Hyundai will share the the same block with the Caliber. I can see potential for some franken motors ala Honda since all the heads would ahve to fit the same blocks.

But that sucks because the caliber motor isn't exactly a bolt-in for our neons That oil filter in the front being the biggest obsticle other than motor/trans mount issues. Just what I've seen from a quick look. And the caliber's handling is horrible compared to the neon. Having driven both, I'm keepin' my neon!

I think the idea behind sharing blocks will lead to some evo powered calibers I like that idea.

You can get the base model caliber 2.0 and slap on the mitsu evo head and stuff, is that what you were getting at?

Hmm AWD and high boost, sounds like a good combo, that be nice to see, An SRT caliber and a frankencaliber.
