#74427, "RE: Will u do the 2.4L swap? (420A)" In response to In response to 0
in 2002 I decided to do the swap with a 2.4 built motor instead of building a 2.0 , in a way to be an original but also because of the really cheap cost of the srt-4 parts and most 2.4 parts in general 20% more stroke is nice, the 2.4 is a torque monster by nature who prefer to deliver boosted power at low rev, my kind of engine I hate engines that you have to push to 6000 rpm to wake them up
the swap is a long process for me because I have really limited financial ressources to put on that engine, it's only a hobby and not a goal in my life
I also have nothing to hide, each and everyone of my ideas are out there in pictures
I once taught about doing a kit with engine support and power steering/ac compressor adaptors but my first potential customer, bugging me to produce this kit, was already advertising "his own kit" comming soon ... basically meaning that "once I get Alain Bourassa's parts , fuck that french-canadian, I'm just gonna reproduce them and sell them for less" the kit idea is now gone and forgotten
I also started recently to be more quiet about my latest things I put pictures as teasers and pictures once done but I'm tired of answering the same messages again and again from peoples who don't take the times to search and read evertyhing done so far, or not even trying to search something i'm talking about guys like this one for instance http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=32&topic_id=1328&mesg_id=1328&page=
he couldn't even find the second post of that conference where he was posting this message ...
the more peoples are getting into the 2.4 swap fever the easier it will be because the poll of ideas will be go larger just last weekend I spent 15 hours trying to figure how to put a mitsubishi made power steering pump on the 2.4 finally found an elegant solution , other peoples will just clone what I'm doing and do it in a few minutes, not 15 hours
