Well looks like I now know it can be done! Awesome job Beck and I'm gonna try to follow your lead. Hope you don't mind me asking you any questions if I have any when I get to the install part.

Oh and BTW sorry about the whole flaming that guy up there.

Dude, way to represent the 2.4s, I am happy to see someone willing to push the envelope with our cars. Now let's see how she holds together...

Gotcha. I thought it was rated at much less tq. In that case, I'll go 2+ as well.

Do you think our motors will handle the StgaeII?
How about the automatics, they shouuld hold up?
alrighty, i just got home from work so let me answer a few questions.
#1 mpg is the same or better when not boosting, however its very hard to resist the urge haha. At this time i have the decelerate fuel cutoff shut off (basically the injectors spray fuel while im declerating to keep the engine cooler) With more tuning we will eventually re-enable it, but we've gotta work with some graphs.

#2. Stage II doesnt really apply with our cars, because im already running the 42.5's and the stage 2 belt. But im guessing you're referring to the smaller pulley. I think the stock internals could handle a 3.0" pulley at the smallest (which would produce an estimated 10-12psi) So far heat hasnt really been an issue, however what the pistons can handle is another story. The rods are forged so if you really wanted to run a smaller pulley i'd say the best bet would be to buy aftermarket pistons with a different compression ratio that is more adaquit for boost. also in order to run anything smaller than a stock sized pulley you'll need 60lb injectors. im right at 80% IDC on my 42's with a stock pulley. Honestly i wouldnt run anything over 15psi (with upgraded internals), i dont really want to bring the blower out of its effeciency range.

#3 i havnt done much research into the automatic transmission, however i've read somewhere that it can handle up to around 300tq.

You would only make that much power with a 2.5" - 2.7" pulley. I wouldnt risk the drivability of a Stage 3 or 3+. But the SPEC + flywheel are a great combo. Thats also what im going with.
I've decided to go with the stage 3+ clutch because i honestly dont know how far i want to go with this car. It's already a beast but she has more to come. I may look into some internals in the near future, but i dont want to have to replace my clutch once again down the road.

Alright so I just viewed your parts list and it doesn't look too bad. Just a bunch of little things. How much did the parts alone come out costing? I could round up these parts over a couple months and probably get it on there and tuned afterwards. My only concern is, will I not have windshield wiper fluid?!?!?
