Exclamation 2.4 Ecotech

it should. i havent heard anyone complain about blowing the motor yet. Turbo is definately a good idea. you basically have the same 2.4 that the srt4 has so why not jus turbo it.

It's 2.4 Ecotec not Ecotech and yes from what we have observed even the smallest bolt ons are doing wonders for this car. Imagine what F/I will do

Way better engine then the SRT-4 and diffferent too. Although the SRT-4 is built for alot more boost.


If you have noticed in this section, people have put exhaust, CAI, header and the ECM has been cracked. So it does have some support.

are you talking about the actual motor and not the whole car?

you're right they must be the same becasue they have the same displacement

Basically the most incorrect statement I have heard in a while

and must inherently have the same potential strictly due to displacement , not paying any attention to any other aspect of the motor ... all 2.4 turbos can expect the same results as the SRT engine regardless of design

well i would say the 2.4 vvt ecotec built with better lower compression internals and a nice turbo kit would be an overall better engine that the srt-4 engine.
