just out of curiousity, who has the fastest 2.4's here

 

Probably the guy who ran a 15.05 last week. I can't remember who it was though.

 

nobody can really say unless you pay to have everyones dyno i think there is a 2.4 somewhere around here with turbo not sure though

 

he took the turbo off

 

its prolly either me or jerryg. Both have ran 9.6's, he ran a 15.0x but i haven't gone to a 1/4mile track yet.

 

the mod that made the biggest diff was my ecu upgrade. i recommend to all. i just ordered my underdrive pulley im expecting to get it sometime this week. with that installed and lowering my car today im hoping to hit about a 14.7 these cars are awesome i cant wait for more mods to come out.

 

I've hit 15.05 with just an intake. Marin007 hit 15.04 with intake, exhaust and springs.

I think I'll hit 14's with just the intake, or go stock to see if I can do it that way.

 

ifi get the hahn first , ill take the spot of fastest 2.4l.... they are boasting high 250's to the wheels and 9 lbs

 

HUH? What does a dyno have to do with anything???

 

wow.. you definately need to send me some driving tips then

 

Nah, you just need to race in cold Low altitude Toronto

 

im pretty sure there is... unless its the 2.2 that im thinking about

 

Probably would've had the fastest but I had to take the Turbo off cause I couln't get the tuning right. Nobody in the NW can tune it yet.

Will probably still be pretty fast 2.4 though, traded in turbo tune for performance tune and installed a 4-2-1 header. Should be runing again by the end of the week.

By the way I'm selling the turbo stuff I took off, PM me if interested. If you are close to Vector Motersports in MI than he could tune it in shop.

 

wish i lived in toronto then.. .i guess hot texas isnt good for racing lol... i think the elevation around here is maybe 5-700

 

Saturday i ran an 9.69, 9.64 and then an 9.61 i have the slips ill go find them, i am going to order my ecu tune from vector this week and after that im going to dyno it and run some more times im hoping to hit 9.5's

 

damnit i need to move to some place with the crazy low elevation

 

I think I've got to be in the mix too. I don't have leather, no sunroof and I have comprable mods, so not only is my car mad light its put down some pretty good cars on the street. Once I get to the track, I am estimating 14s if it stays cool.

 

oops sorry forgot you had the tune GTP. damn guys are starting to get some good times with the 2.4's. jaslowyota get those slips. I definatly need to get back to the track up the anty .

 

Bump

 

Well im not an expert on cars or anything but i think a dyno measures the horsepower and torque of a vehicle. hope that helps you out.

 

dynos measure torque and calculate horsepower.

But the thread has to do with the fastest 2.4l... dynos are only for tuning not racing.

 

So if "dynos measure torque and calculate horsepower," and torque and horsepower are what makes your car move, is it not simple enough to think that maybe when comparing the exact same model of car, the one with more torque and horsepower will be faster then the one with less torque and horsepower? hmm....

 

NO! Because every dyno is different. Dyno racing is worse then mag racing but not worse then roll "racing".

 

Not exactly. Had the OP asked who had the highest HP 2.4L here, yeah. But by asking who had "the fastest" he kind of implied who has put down the best track times to date. Power will play a part in that, but so will vehicle weight, driver skill, track conditions, elevation, etc... Having a better dyno run than the next guy does you no good if you can't drive your way out of a paper bag.

 

well then i dont think ill ever dyno my car since it sounds like that money would be better spent on beer and drugs.
