What would you do if you had a chance to build an all motor 2.4L.

engine work, tranny work, engine management?

must be intelligent. No nitrous, no turbo, no supercharger.

MUST use 2.4L block. If head swap must state what you are doing to tame the compression changes that will come about.

There is no money limit, but you can't say you're strapping JATO rockets to the car either.

Spy's all moda monsta.

basics.
2.4L block
2.4L head

moving onward we'll go from intake, to head, to block, to exhaust, to fuel system.

intake!
45mm individual throttle bodies.

Crower valvetrain (retainer, oversized valves, springs) that induction-dynamics has under lock and key
bronze guides
mantapart hydraulic cam followers 33mm
ported polished head biased for all moda power
RSM cams (yeh they look quite tasty)
Mantapart cam gears (yeh I'll be more than happy to drain the oil, take off the timing cover, adjust and do it all over again till I find the sweet spot!!!)
11:1 compression (stock bore) JE pistons w/ a slight dish to them
Eagle rods (love economy rods)
Crank polished/lightened knifedged & 2.3 oil pump gear
fully balanced rotating assembly
balance shaft delete
block guard *no more balance shafts to act as one apparently*
modified oil pan w/ windage tray
custom 4-2-1 header w/ 2.5inch collector going into 2.5inches of catless love
370cc injectors (if I need bigger than I will go bigger)
a/c delete pulley
Fluidyne radiator (find a design they have that will closely match to what will fit and order it custom style)
replace the stock fans for somethign sleeker and more "hardcore" flex-a-lite


(IF the intake that manta offers can somehow work on the stock pcm than I'll go the route outlined below, if not than I will be using an Electromotive TEC3 engine management)
Apexi S-AFC II
Wideband 02 sensor
MSD DIS-II

weight reduction, essential to any all moda car:
carbon fiber hood (rsm and MFX offers one)
road race engineering (have them make me a carbon fiber glove box to fit my pretty S-AFC and non essential gauges, carbon fiber center console piece)
Bride racing seats (carbon fiber shell)
Headliner replaced with thin solid molded sheet of carbon fiber w/ a thin sheet of insulation
carpet delete, tar mat delete (gunmetal repaint for the floor)
trunk hatch (cut off support structure underneath trunk, delete brake light)
Lexan rear quarter windows
Passanger airbag delete
driver wheel replace with thing Sparco unit
side mirrors delete and replace w/ thin carbon fiber mirrors
wheels (something 16inches something less than 12lbs)
big battery - batcat battery less than 12lbs!? wtf!?
a/c delete
carpet trunk delete


Still streetable
