This sounds like a monster.

I will def be checking back to see the pics cause I also have the 2.4 and am interested to see what it looks like and how it turns out

Sweet, Marcus is a good guy.

Planning on feeding it escargot?

sounds beastly.

Sounds great!

Keep us updated

Sounds like my motor at the end of the month, except mine will be higher compression, and rev 7200+

took me a sec to realize you meant turbo. haha

yeah, that sounds like a hell of a setup. keep us posted!

looking good bro.

sickness! its gunna be one mean setup

Ya mines going to around 7k what compression are you going to run?And what springs are you running cause OEM going to get the springs from mantapart which im not crazy about but i havnt seen any other after market springs for the 2.4 i saw people on j-body running 2.3 springs

Ya im going to run a snail with meth

Depending on my cam setup, I'll be winding her out to between 7200-7800rpm, the springs I'm going to run? Well I did make a few phone calls to a few places that may be able to help me out. Worst case scenario, 2.3 springs which I already have. Best case scenario, something better.

Compression right now w/ the headgasket I'm running, it is going to be 9.5:1 compression.

The car is going to have tunes for E85, 100octane, and a c16 map.

I've also changed my mind on turbos again, :-\. No more GT4088R, I'm going with a BorgWarner unit. However still shootin for 25lbs of terror.

I wouldn't touch Mantapart with a 50ft cattle prod. I dont trust them at all. My original set of pistons that I'm still running took them 6 months to get to me. They sent them without rings. Then sent me rings and shorted me a set of rings. Then I had to bitch for another set of rings. Never would answer the phone, would gladly take my money, always were a pain in the ass. Sent me a piece of shit exhaust flange that is worth only the metal it was cut on. They need to go under.

That is going to be a monster set up im very jealous :p

I'm jealous of both of your guy's engines.

How much money do you have in the engine alone?

Its going to run 3400 ish for parts labor shipping and machine work

I'm 90% positive I'll find something to break after three or four trips to the track. :-p

Elevens?? :p

That's a given.....
