Supercharger/Manifold for the 2.4?

Hey guys I know I have asked this twice in other threads but to no luck yet. I have a 2.4 and am looking at an Eaton Supercharger for it. Anyone have any good ideas on how to mount one? I am not the most car suavy so any ideas would be great. I know I need the manifold but if I am correct the manifold off the 2.0 is the opposite way isnt it? I have looked at pics of 2.0's engines and it looks like the intake is going the other way at least. I am not sure help me out guys!

You may have to fabricate most of it.

Also is it possible to twin charge this, of course with better internals, just want to know how the VVT will react.

Isn't the 2.4 a High Compression engine?

Not a good idea to expect "Twin Charging" to be in the future.

At most 7 Psi is required. Over that and you will run into detonation problems.

im not sure of the extent of the forged internals but if the bottom and rods are forged expect 10 psi intercooled, with proper tuning to net you around 100 hp more. thats a total guess though

rather than fabricating anything i think that everyone should just wait for an s/c to come out for the 2.4... hopefully scdyne will be finished soon.

The manifold off the 2.0 should bolt up.

how much can the 2.0 ss s/c handle before detonation probs occur and how would u make the 2.4 able to go to like round 10+psi

For more boost the 2.4 needs a set of lower compression pistons, although a thicker head gasket would help a little bit. Not sure about the 2.0 question though. Maybe @ 350whp the internals would need some work, but thats just a guess don't take my word.

alot of people are saying this engine might be able to handle 10 psi intercooled on stock internals. whether this is true or not i don't know. ive also heard that the stock internals willhold up to 250-300 hp MAX.

I would expect to see more around 5-7psi on the 2.4. You guys have higher compression than the 2.0 and stock we run about 12.

But what are the exact forged internals we have.....If its bottom end and rods, we should be able to handle the 10 psi intercooled.
