You want ready built 2.4? Do you want Forced induction or N/A?

Try www.mantapart.com
or
www.rsmracing.com

They should lead you in the right direction!

Re: Looking for a Performance Engine...

more options.... check out jasper racing they will take any one of the cav's motors and change internals, basically do whatever you want with it. best bet is to take a 2.2 ecotec to jasper racing and they'll give it some serious power

Personally I feel anything larger than the $-cyl should be avoided, although it's cool they way I am I know I would be pissed after I did it and caught a shiot load of understeer from the even more heavy nose trying to push wide with the addition of the fwd push! not to mention further upsetting the weight balance of the car. But I'm from europe where the beny circuit rules and not the perfectly straight florr it and hope for the best 1/4 mile strip. Although I will get 1/4 times this will be just so I can validate any performance upgrades! I'm a circuit Guy! Not oval track though unless it's Nardo!! BooYah no need to steer at 100mph the banking steers for you!

I'd go for the 2.2L ecotec, throw a turbo on that and srt-4's are toast. Thats a phonomenal engine. Chevy did a new cobalt with a 2.2 ecotec, not the 2.0L. slapped on a turbo, kept 65% of the engine stock, upgraded the cams and cam gears mainly, and it has 535 bhp

I heard the 2.4 gets a lot of shit... but I don't exactly know why. Anyone care to clear this up for me?

Re: Looking for a Performance Engine...

2.2l ecotec is by far the best 4 banger to mess with. there is a dragster running 6's with a 2000hp 2.2l ecotec in it! 2000 f*cking hp! granted you cant use that on the street, but the point here is that motor has the most potetial, besides, if he was to put in a v6, his power-to-weight ratio will be all f*cked up. thing MIGHT be quick in a straight line, but how fun is that, the car wouldnt handle worth a shit.
