zzp's blocks arent super expensive 4600 or so to have it shipped for a built bottom end that can take 1k engine hp is a pretty awesome ass deal.. make it 6-7k if you want to build the head as well

but even still you could upgrade every part of your 2.4 have larger potential and still spend less than a tc

 

Haha ok. And i love how ppl with no turbo experience at all come on this forum, read a thread and think they know everything. The 25 psi has absolutely no bearing on this conversation at all because his car will most likely never even see that much boost. I must have missed all the threads on the 2.4's running a train on lnf's. Sorry my bad

 

dude seriously.. my car is turboed lol and 25 psi on the same turbo ( assuming they're both upgraded ) the 2.4 will make more .. no replacement for displacement man. not to mention the head on the le5 i think flows better then the stock LNF the lnf has the benefit of better efficiency with di but still

there aren't alot of 2.4s that have gone for crazy power most people just turbo it and stay with 8-10 psi .. making under 300 whp. there are some people who have actually done some nice stuff.

most lnfs dont go over full bolt ons either .. **** their are more 2.2's running trains on lnfs then 2.4s and there is only 1 of them running 25 psi lol

i mean figure a byt tune on e85.. 370 wtrq and 340 whp .. on 24 psi.. a turbo 2.4 should be able to make that on a properly sized turbo under 20 psi

 

Zzp has a car (don't know if it is theirs) running their stage 3 turbo kit, 2.4l running mid 11's

 

Truth is there aren't many 2.2's or 2.4's "running trains" on lnf's because no one wants to put the $ into them, and it is harder making higher hp numbers reliably.

 

this.. most people bought the 2.4's or 2.2s to get a cheaper car so they are cheap lol

the 06-07 2.4 can handle power but no one really pushes it

 

You're right about the displacement on the same turbo and the power levels they make, but just like you said most guys won't ever build the motor. They just swap it and leave it.

This guy obviously has A LOT to learn and I'm not saying thats a bad thing at all everybody has to start somewhere, I was merely saying that I think his best option would be getting an lnf and saving himself hours and hours of headache and trouble.

 

just buy an ss dude

 

This is exactly what I was trying to get across

That's a vendor car. Of course it's going to be fast as hell

This /\

 

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everyone. I just wanted some criticism and honest opinions on it, I'll just make this car a show car, then buy a rwd, v8 and make that my fast car

 

my turbo 2.4 had a little over 300whp.. and i only spent 1300 on the turbo setup.. (bought it off here)

it can be done for a good price.. proper turbo choicing and having reliable shops in the area for help are a plus... trifecta tuning isnt too bad either

 

If I went zzp stage 3 then I would need around 3.5k for it all plus a new catback and clutch

 

u dont "need" a new catback. but its a plus. elec cutouts are like 150-200.. mandrelexhaustsystems.com makes affordable 3" setups as well
