Rebuild

[pawzbear]

^ agreed, swap.

but in response to your defense on the spoiler.. you shouldnt be going that fast on normal roads, its very dangerous; and you wont reach that high of speeds in the 1/4 mile (most likely) So, cmon, in an everyday driver it is ridiculously pointless. give it up, bo. If you want a big spoiler, you could go with the razzi like mine, its big but doesnt look like ASS!!!!

AnderbrA's estimate sounds good.

Actually, a friend of mine knows someone who had their GA's rear end destroyed, so they went out and bought a new Charger and said I could just have the GA for nothing. A swap would probably be the way to go if he follows through. Otherwise I'll get the parts cheap (with my 40% off connection) then get a place to do the labor.

Thanks guys.

OR......you can come get my rebuilt motor for $1k.

SD is a bit of a drive.

[AnderbrA]

Yeah, but its mostly flat.

i bought a used 2.4 with 80 000kms(50k miles) and a 5spd trans for $425 running...i couldnt say no to that after throwin 2 rods

[AnderbrA]

I know exactly what youre sayin, ive spun rod bearings and thrown rods in 4 of these motors before building mine with forged internals.....havent had a problem since.

[MixtapeMessiah]

why buy a new stock motor when u cant add f/i or the bottle when u have a perfectly good one rite now? kinda dumb if u ask me

a good 2 grand can get you ready for boost or the bottle what u perfer, now that I got my suspension work outta the way thats the new project, rebuilding my 2.4 and tranny

[[ion] C2]

Not sure what you mean; I need either an engine rebuild or a lower mileage swap before my parent will let me install the wet system. Insurance. High mileage on the internals is not a good pair with any form of boost.

So why do u want nitrous?????

From reading your other responses obviously you drive like an idiot, cause if your going that fast and your not at a track its stupid. Maybe you think with that big ass wing you can go that fast, but dont risk your life and other peoples lives by driving fast. So you probably want the nitrous so u can go faster on public roads right?? STUPID in my opinion.

[alerored04]

ion what everyone is trying to say is for the cost of this rebuild with stock parts you could get stronger aftermarket ones for it for nearly the same price, so why not? It will last longer and take the abuse of n2o alot better.

I'll probably end up putting in what AnderbrA had done.

@Billy: Private roads, track "road courses", etc. I plan on using it at the quarter mile, anyway. Maybe just hit it for a second on the street for fun, y'know.

[mrmike]

boo street racers. Anyone caught using Nos on public roads should be forced to drive geo metros governed to 20mph for the rest of their lives. If you're looking for speed, sell your Alero and buy some plane tickets, those things go like 500mph and have HUGE wings!!! Most importantly you probably won't kill any soccer moms in minivans. pwned.

[[ion] C2]

I don't street race, but hitting nitrous to boost acceleration every once in a while to the stated speed limit is, in fact, fun. Using it at the track is the best and safest time, of course.

[alerored04]

please lets not get into the street or the track debate, im sick of it, the site is to help him reach his goals not to preach to him on how to use it.

[Gr1m]

im sure your going to be using the nos just to get to the speed limit, earlier you were just saying how you feel the difference of the spoiler at speeds of 90-100, id bet youd stop at 55 with nos though right?

[MixtapeMessiah]

dude do what u do Im tired of people talkin shit, were here to help you out. U wanna put a 300 shot on that ho for effs sakes go for it! Go forged tho and ur straight

My point exactly! dont do stupid shit.

And mixtape, were helping him out by telling him its a bad idea idiot. Hes gonna be driving like a maniac if he gets nitrous. He already said he drives fast, now with the nitrous hes gonna try and go faster on highways. So think before u post up saying were not helping, were trying to help by telling him not to do that sh*t on public roads and potentially kill himself and other people.

[ptrudel]

i am gettin tired of ppl preachin street racin too...yeah street racing's retarded, but give it up...its a forum...if he wants to street race he'll very well do so even if some random person that may be halfway across the country, tells him not too

if you're gonna do nitrous, build up the internals for sure....yes the 2.4 can handle some abuse, but everything gets weaker with time...123k miles, and mine threw 2 rods and seized the other 2 pistons in the cylinders...without boost or nitrous

@Billy: Are you a complete and utter moron? Have you skipped every post except for ones that talk about how I'm going to all of a sudden go street racing at 120MPH? I don't speed (on the street), I don't street race, I don't drive like a maniac. I don't see anywhere where that has been said.

All I asked is a simple question of what parts would be the best to replace, and what installation costs were to have said parts installed, to prepare my engine for boost. What I do with that power is irrelevant (track use, as I said, but hitting it once in a while under the LEGAL speed limit is a side dish). I just wanted help to achieve the goals I lay out. And I have received that.
