I was wondering how strong is the 2.4? Can it take a turbo stock without going internal?

What about NOS im not really worried about this but i would say you would have to put in colder plugs but i was just wondering how strong the engine is and I know alot of engines have to be heavy modified to handle NOS or a Turbo.

 

Hahn is running a turboed 2.4 to over I believe it was 400 hp on stock internals.

 

a turbo'd 2.4 at 400 hp... awesome. what numbers can he run?

 

It was posted here but I think it was low 11's.

 

i think the 2.4 is a great starting point... there is a member on here that did a custom job w/ a 2.4 block and 2.0 heads, his name is mvp, you should contact him. it has higher compresion but imo displacement>boost

 

The LE5 engine does come stock with forged rods. The pistons, like the LSJ, are probably still the weak link. So internals are excellent stock for an aftermarket forced induction or nitrous setup.

 

i believe we can run nitrous on our 2.4s on stock everything EXCEPT intake manifold. thatl blow to peices. its just plastic ive seen a video of it happening.

ryan. IM WAITING FOR HAHN ASWELL turbo looks great. as long as i dont have to buy pistons but i might anyways and maybe a head job which would make that turbo run sweeter.

 

my turbo 2.4 is holding up fine even on crappy tuning

 

you still never get your tuning figured out celica?

 

thats why im not doing my turbo myself. takin it to a shop so its done right and the tuning will be great. dyno tuned and stuff for that. i know his isnt running as good as it should be its a good start.

ryan.

 

Have you tried the 2 BAR MAP sensor?

 

not yet, hoping to make some headway within the next 2 weeks here.

no, from what i heard it can be done without it, but it still is an option if all else fails.

 

How about the tranny,do you guys have any plans on beef it up,so you don't have eventual failure?

 

tranny seems real strong.

 

Transmissions are the same as the old Cavy's and Sunfires, and guys have been beating on those for years with little problems.

GM did a good job with the SS/NA or GTs. It's almost like the "planned" to do wonderful things with them.

 

had a member on another site post up that the 2.4 trannys were rated only for 220,lol.nevertheless,i'll try to beef mine up before I slap everything on it.

 

I remember that, but all the dealers that have spooged out turbo and supercharger kits have said they are comfortable going up to 250 on them.
But I see your point. better safe than sorry any day

 

mine just has hahn tuning and a perma cool tranny cooler on it with no issues. id feel comfortable going to 300 whp on it.

 

Well then I would consider a tranny cooler a modification

 

so what can I do to beef up the tranny? under 500.00 please.lol

 

what? thats not the kit they're selling i guess. cause i think the guy was running mid 13's at the track.. he should've been a hell of alot faster with 400hp.

oh. i guess i should read the whole thread befor i open my e-mouth..

is this just some guy, or is it one of hahn's team cars?
