So, it pored the other day and since i don't happen to have a bypass vavle, i got a ton of water in my engine(yes i pushed in the clutch, but what am i supposed to do when 1 mile of road has 2in. of water ) So a bunch of vavles are bent and i decided to do a 2.4 swap. I know, i could just replace the head or get it fixed but i want to see if i can get 240hp with the 2.4. Possible? i guess i'll find out.

Just a q, where is your filter for your cia sitting?
You know what, i think i'm going to do a little some-something that will draw cold air into the intake without the risk of hydro-lock. All i need is a doobie and about 60 seconds looking at my car with the hood popped and i should have it figured out.

Nothing new but I moved my CAI to the top and cut an intake out of the hump in the hood. Moving the intake to this position enhances the drivers experience because you can hear the intake and the turbo more from the drivers seat. You will need to relocate your battery to achieve this task.

3 words: Rotations per minute
the best way to make more power NA is to give yourself more usable RPM's. the 2.4 actually has a lower redline because of the extra mass the rotating assembly has. you'll need to balance the hell out of that engine. match porting the head will be a must as well to flow that kind of air.
I hear the 2.4 with a turbo actually spools quite nicely as compared to the 2.0

Actually it's because of the rod ratio due to the added stroke versus a 2.0L.

I was close, but thanks for the clarification

with those basic mods there's no need for S-AFC unless you are addicted to blue display and don't expect more than 170 at the crank

read - read - and read some more... good luck to you
