here you go monday http://avengersuperchargers.com/ you'll of course have to use the splitsecond splice in computer

have you seen AirSierra's setup? hes running the above mentioned 2.4 SRT-4 internals with the factory turbo setup on 37s i believe. he really likes it.

I know about Avenger. I'm not a fan of the compressor they use.
Air Siera did an excelent job for a turbo set up.

IIRC they require an oil supply and return line.
The Eaton is a sealed unit you change the oil in.

That picture is a Conquest TSi and the 2.6L in it is built by mistu ( aka Starion ). And its a fair motor, just has cylinder head over heating issues.

The daytona turbo 4 banger is pretty good 2.2-2.5L but they have really crappy flowing heads that make them spool fair sized turbos extremely slow, but they can make some serous torque, throttle response is just slow. A very rare Daytona was made in 93' ( I think ). It has a DOHC motor via the "spirit R/T". It used the same common block as the older 2.2L non-cross flow turbo omni, minivans, and daytona. But it also used a cylinder head designed by lotus that was DOHC 16V and cross flow. It was the fastest sport compact car built that year by a HUGE margin. 93' cobra mustangs would run mid-14s, and the spirit R/T and daytona R/T were rumored to run high 14s, which in 1993, that was MOVING. Actully, the king of all FWD cars, the SRT4, only runs low low 14s or MAYBE an extremely high 13sec BONE STOCK. Of course with mods, all bets are off.

I understand if you don't want a V8. I love that. I was just pointing out the price point. If you really want a FI 4 banger, you'd be CRAZY not to use that 2.4L you have sitting around. I think I have enough SRT4 pistons laying around to make a set of 4, but you'd have to take them to a machine shop to get them put on your stock 2.4L rods ( they are something special to put on and take off ), which is why I recommended just buying the assemblies from dodge ( which is what I did when I needed a set ). I have 3 rods/pistons with only 400miles on them.

For what it is, maybe you could score an entire SRT4 wiring harness/ECU and then you'd really be in businuss. 300whp, instant power, insane torque, and broken axles would all be at your big toe with only a few mods.

Only after we bought my wifes 05' did I find out that the newer TJs got the 2.4L and that a 4-speed auto was out there... The SRT4 motor with a RWD/4wd auto tranny would be god. A stock SRT4 weighs right at 3000LBS. ( mine was 2965LBS. without a driver ).

I have a video on my SRT4 on low boost, without the nitrous running a 487whp procharged 05' mustang GT. The GT was fresh off the day that morning. He beat me by 1/2 car lengh. Then we ran b/c he said "no way that was off the bottle ", and the second race I put about 10 cars on him. Its a sick motor. I sold mine for a G35... Sometimes, FWD is just too big of a handicap.

Those numbers are impressive for drag cars. I want to make 200 #/tq below 2500.
It's a lofty goal. I'll probably just make the M62 work and like with the results.

Is the rear end already trussed up? Looking forward to seeing it in action. You're gong to give these guys a conniption with the 4 banger and the S35 and 35s!
I can't wait

Yep...saw that one a few years ago. Avenger did a nice job on a show truck.
The paint is too nice for my taste. Let alone all that lift

lol, I know all about it.. that pic is actually a 86 starion, just used it as an example cuz the dodge is the same car...

BTW, it runs low 13's and builds 15# boost before 1800rpm.
