Hello Shocked has contacted me and wants me to build him a monster 2.4

But would like to have some input from all you guys also.

Here is what i have came up with so far.
(Motor Work will be done by VT Comp)
2.4 block
pauter x beam rods
CP Pistons compression ratio 8.5:1 coated by SwainTech ceramic and moly
possible oil attraction coating on the bearings
balanced and blue printed bottom end
Melling Oil Pump
mopar gaskets
srt4 timing belt tensioner
UR/AFX pulley
Bob Stockum Windage Tray
possible oil attraction coating on the engine bearings and pickup tube.

Cylinder head Port Work Done by NRGY Heads(Ex BlackDog Port Guy)
Ferrea valves coated with ceramic atleast (jury is still open 1mm or std)
full radius valve job(more surface area for valve to cool and also flows better)
coatings on the chambers and exhaust ports (ceramic)
crower springs and retainers
PT lifters and rockers
Crower or Crane Cams..
UR or Crane Cam gears

side notes the manifold and turbine housing will be ceramic coated

and also looking into jet hot coating the inside of the IC pipes.
(ceramic)

this is going to be matched to a Hahn RaceCraft Turbo Kit s25g with FMIC
recomended true 3" turbo back exhaust

my recomendation is for an AEM standalone equipped with a wideband

recomended drivetrain mods
axles
stage4 clutch with light flywheel
LSD and diff pin fix
solid motor mounts or atleast prothanes

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

the names shockeclipse biotch...but no people I would really appreciate getting as much feedback and/or questions about this as i can.

"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war; our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very , very pissed off"

how much is this going to set you back shock?

Well it will all depend on what kind of feedback I get and if I decide to go with all that motofool has proposed. I am trying to get opinions to make my final decision. I would really like to hear what some of the guys on here with built and turbo'd motors think and what kind of gains people would think I would be able to get out of this kind of setup with proper tuning. So c'mon people lets here what you all think.

Personally, I would say go for it. Bill's never done me wrong and always been able to help me out. I don't car what that flamer has to say about his work. Besides, the block will be assembled by VT and the headwork done right here in Phoenix at NRGY heads. If Bill's taking care of the outsourcing of all the sub assy's, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Bill will make sure you get everything you need and everything he promised.

You don't think he's watching his ass especially close after all the heat he's taken lately? Besides, maybe if you send some business his way, he'll have a couple bones to spread around to the people he owes money too.

If I was in the market again - I'd call MotoFool again.

god thats over 15K in parts/labor, not worth it IMO
why not just build up the 2.0L.
or do what brynden did with the 2.6L
or just buy a faster car.

IMO its not worth all the money and time, but yes when your done it will be one hell of a machine.

Wish I had all that money to blow

I would hope this motor would be a bit faster then bryndens with the setup it will have..

the car would definatly be impressive as long as the tuner is god as the engine builders..

Speaking from expierience (onebaddsm98 and I were one of the first to swap a 2.4 in a 2gnt) building a 2.0 will be a whole hell of alot easier. Just make shure you know what you are getting into and if all the head aches are worth the extra .4L of displacement. Having said that the motor spools a BB t3/t4 like nothing, but the car has never really been tuned or ran really well for that matter.
