i started my 2.4 s/c build 2-24-09
first day pretty much started late at like 1pm wired the positive and negative to the ic pump.
got the pillar dremeled so the wideband and aftermarket boost gauge can fit and got the wiring set up to just hook it up.
drilled the brackets and get the cobra intercooler set up ready to install.
drilled and tapped the intake manifold and put fittings in it for the boost line gauge.
fixed a broken alt. bracket with jb weld and painted and installed it.
changed the supercharger pulley.
took off the 2.4 manifold, cai, tb, old bracket, injectors, spark plugs, and the valve cover(to paint it) and stopped early because it started getting dark and we got hungry.
a few pics from the engine after we finished for the day.






day 2

 

sweet mine wont be till april

 

whyd u take off the valve cover?

 

^ i think he painted it blue

 

lol. stupid me

 

sweet! can't wait to see this. i saw stengyuen finish his on his 2.2 this past sat. he has a whole new car. it's awesome and it made me want to go SC over TC so much more lol.

 

i'd rather go with hahn but later down the road

 

sweet! i need a clutch, only downfall

 

Damn, looks like everyone is supercharging their 2.4's these days.

Good luck man.

 

how mant miles do you have on your clutch?

 

im doing auto sc lol

 

i've got my hust short throw shifter installed on my 2.4 lol

 

12,000

haha youll neeed one it slips sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad in 3rd and 4th

 

i was going to SC my 2.4, but i decided to go TC. Only downfall is having to wait longer to save more money

 

god that sucks

 

Keep in mind the clutch largely depends on the driver. Over 10k now with a m62 on my 2.4 and 35k on the car, and clutch is fine. Pjk91 put on alot of miles on his stock clutch while being sc'd too I believe. Anyways, good luck with your build!

 

i hope i can keep it long enough till i get a job lol

 

I put about 25k on the stock clutch s/c for a total of 50k~ before it slipped too much for my liking. It was still drivable going putt-putt but no WOT at that point.

 

Congrats and good luck, id love to S/C mine but not right now.

 

2 things, when your WOT the clutch slippage has nothing to do with the driver is about the torque your putting threw it, and also if your still stock pulley as well as pat, then my clutch is taking about 20 more wtq threw it which is a considerable amount more

 

Touche! I am stock pulley. Trying not to stray from the original topic but, how's your idc's with the 3.0 and 42's? Have 42's on mine too and wondering how yours ended up with the 3"...

 

the issue is if the driver typically wears on the clutch a bit during daily driving, the clutch wont be able to take as much torque during that WOT run before it starts to slip. It still has a lot to do with the driver

 

I put about 20 passes down the track with it. I played on the streets. I had about 220tq.

 

Dang.. Good lucka man.. I see it now..

Mine will not be ready till monday.. so i wont be going to the bash..

 

211.....
