2.4L sohc turbo potential
Been lurking for a year, here and other MM/D50 forum and it was strange to see very few turbo charged 2.4s
I have experience with the non u.s. starion 2.0L sohc, and seeing how they can rip when modified..... why not a 2.4L ?
More displacement and oem multipoint, whereas the starion is throttle body injected(needs converting if MPI)
One aussie starion member answered that question
Turbocharged a pretty much 'stock' 2.4L sohc. He shaved a bit off the oem pistons(seen this practice in several aussie builds)
Had a cam ground. Bigger plenum on stock intake. Standalone tuned. Made a turbo header
Dynod 350 hp at the wheels, ~380 ft-lbs tq @ only 15psi
Very strong performer for such a simple recipee. No point going dohc for him. I'll see how close I get with my 2.4
I purchased my D50 solely for the 2.4 powerplant. A measley $150 runs perfect, but truck has issues
Since I do my own mechanic and bodywork, I'll save the truck
I'll swap in a spare 2.0L starion motor, with the usual upgrades. Static drop on 17s, etc the sell it
2.4 goes into my corolla then boost
