All motor, it's a waste of time going with a 2.0.NGCnoproblem wrote:^which is?
I'm doin a 2.0 cus its different. And yes it can b done reliably. At 8 psi I'm gonna b as fast, most likely faster then a stock SRT
As for boosted, with how cheap you can build an SRT'd bottom end, I don't know why people go with the 2.0's. I always laugh when I hear "to be different". There's a reason it's "different". But to each his own. If you really wanna be different, get the 2.2L stroker kit as well.

Trade 2.0 bottom end to someone with a 2.4 that wants to be different, straight up. Or for a profit. Port 2.0 head and sell it to someone with NA aspirations, buy 2.4 head. Probably another profit. Build a boosted 2.4 and win!

and at least $1500 in pistons, rods, studs, and gaskets thats why i can't go 2.4l now that and i really wanna rev to 9k at least once in my life (and not be on a bike)Wenuden wrote:What exactly won't swap over? Cheap bolt on parts, that's what.

Pull them, sell the bare short block, then part out the internals for a sleight loss. Buy 2.4 and build. You'll be more happy.stdlystdmufn wrote:and at least $1500 in pistons, rods, studs, and gaskets thats why i can't go 2.4l now that and i really wanna rev to 9k at least once in my life (and not be on a bike)Wenuden wrote:What exactly won't swap over?

Good to be back. Trying to work an SRT angle looking at 2 one is a stock 05 with 25K miles or a stock looks 300 hp 05 with 55k milesstdlystdmufn wrote:and at least $1500 in pistons, rods, studs, and gaskets thats why i can't go 2.4l now that and i really wanna rev to 9k at least once in my life (and not be on a bike)Wenuden wrote:What exactly won't swap over?

Already spent too much on rebuilding the 2.0, wouldnt even come close to breaking even if I sold it all.jrumann59 wrote:Or save the headache and buy an SRT-4Wenuden wrote:What exactly won't swap over? Cheap bolt on parts, that's what.ThatKevin wrote:

Can't buy an SRT4, insurance alone will rape me. It would still be more expensive, AND I wouldn't be able to sell my car for anything more than $2k, even then I'd be lucky.

i really just like my 2.0l (and it's alread in the car) and i'm happy enough to just have a DOHC head for now. trust me it was a hard choice but im gonna stick it out. plus pretty sure the wife would if she saw me pull the engine again (it's been out of comission since dec and it was my DD)Wenuden wrote: Pull them, sell the bare short block, then part out the internals for a sleight loss.

Get the stock low mileage one. I was sitting round 300 (undyno'd, but the same mods as so many dyno proven 300's) for around 3k on the stocker I bought. And you're 30k miles under on maintenance costs.Wenuden wrote:Pull them, sell the bare short block, then part out the internals for a sleight loss. Buy 2.4 and build.

Of course, if you can find one at 300hp with immaculate maintenance records at 50k+, get that one.
Good luck, tittyman. (fuck a boobie mod {<3 u Chris})
ETA: A large portion of that 3k was cosmetic shit. You should be able to easily run a stocker from 235 to 300 with $1800 or less, running used parts. Biggest mod is going to be a simple WGA pushing 18-20PSI. But you know this.
