    2g awg tranny gets hot sometimes

    Another guy that's a friend friend of mine said it drives fine. The only time it messed up is when he's racing it at the track. He also said that he didn't think it happened till he welded his diff

    2g awg tranny gets hot sometimes

    Car burnt

    I was leaving my friends house today and my car studdered a few times. I wasnt sure what was going on, then I pulled up to a stop sign and pushed the clutch and it felt like it melted when I pushed it in. The car died so I got out and saw a little smoke from under the hood. I raised the...

    AWD Conversion/Swap Guys Enter Here - Advanced. [Merged 2-07]

    I built my awd spyder about 2 years ago and the gas gauge has never worked right. When its full, it reads about 3/4 of a tank but from there on it works normal. I dont let it bother me. I fill it up and wait for the light to come on and fill it up again.

    Blown new motor

    I honestly think I leaned it out too much and I blame it all on me. I love the 2.4 dohc. I ran a stock one for about 2 1/2 years and had no trouble. I am only running a 20g on it so you can imagine how fast it spools and how that is :thumb:

    Blown new motor

    Well, I got the motor out last night and tore it down today. It looks like #4 and #2 are shot. The good thing is the cylinder walls have very minor scratches that will hone out. I am going to hone the cylinders and put a new piston in 2 and 4, replace every gasket on it and put it back in. I...

    Blown new motor

    I did the leakdown before it blew to make sure it was good and broken in. I did a compression test after I blew it up. I tried a leakdown but really could not make a conclusion from it.
  12. Spool'n Spyder

    Blown new motor

    No, i'm sorry. I have weisco's and scat rods. Crower 64414 cams and upgraded valve springs. The pistons were ceramic coated on the sides and on the top.

    Blown new motor

    Well I took it out to the track Friday and blew the motor on my car. It 750 miles on it and I had performed a leakdown and it showed totally sealed on all 4.I got about half track and heard a loud exhaust noise come out from under the hood (like an open header or something) then the car shut...

    wastegate fluttering

    Yeah, I think I can figure it out from that, thanksAbout the wastegate, does anyone have a clue? Could my wastegate be going bad or is the spring bad or what?Thanks

    wastegate fluttering

    Ok when I left work today, the first two times I boosted it did not flutter and then it did everytime after that till I got home. Please, I need help with this. This is a just broken in fully built 2.4 dohc with a 20g and cams. I was going to go to the track tomorrow night and see what it will...

    wastegate fluttering

    Ok I found a boost leak on my wastegate so I too kit apart and put a new gasket there. When I put it back together I pointed the vaccum nipple the wrong way and I didnt have time to fix it right then. When I drove it,I noticede it flutterd at full boost. I could tell it was the wastegate cause I...

    idle with 64414's and 2.4

    Well my only tuning is a Keydiver chip and gm maft set to 450's like I was told. I wanted a good safe tune that I didnt ever have to mess with. I may be able to send the chip back and get some timing taken out on the lower end.

    idle with 64414's and 2.4

    I'm not getting rid of these cams. If it is the cams causing this then thats fine, I can deal with it. I just dont want it to be something wrong with my car or something else.I have thought about adjusting the cam gears and doing it like you said moving it a little and checking for valve...

    idle with 64414's and 2.4

    Well, ive got them where they are half decent and it runs great as long as I give it gas.My new problem is that when I am cruising down the road say 40 in 4th gear and I try to stay at that one speed the car jerks really bad. I have a brand new o2 sensor, brand new tps, did a smoke vaccum...

    idle with 64414's and 2.4

    just got my 2.4 running on 64414's and I cant hardly get it to idle at all. The vacuum jumps around like crazy and never passes 10 in. Sometimes it wants to dye and other times it want to do a 1000rpm lope and others it wants to rev like 1200-1500. Where would be a good place to start? Then...

    I did exactly what you said and cut a rectangle in the side of the "frame" then welded it back up. I just looked through my awd swap pics and could not find a pic but thats what I did and I havent had any problems. Mine has been done for about a year and 8 months and I did mine on a budget with...

    I am going to be running a 7-bolt oil filter housing with ports for an external oil cooler. I have a picture here.. http://www.4g64.com/gallery/album35/mopar_162Now my question is which allen plug do I run the turbo feed line and which do I run the oil pressure sender off of. It has a...

    2.6L DSM engine options

    I researched this ALOT when I started to build a motor for my car and a only came up with dead ends. I also do not have the money to "do whatever it takes" so I just built a 2.4 for my car. This is my first and hopefully my last. My started out non-turbo so it had the 2.4 to begin with and I...

    Will this 4g64 work for the swap ?

    The 2.4's in the trucks are a wideblock and will not mate up to our trannies. I have two of the mighty max's with the 2.4 (should be fun one day ;) )

    Oil on top of piston after rebuild

    How many miles on the turbo? Has it been rebuilt as well? It could be oil blowing by the seals on the turbo.

    Looking for 4g64/g4cs answers? LOOK HERE!!

    I dont have mine going just yet but have friends that have 20,000 or so on them running 20ish psi on a 50 trim. Most are running eagle or scat rods with weisco pistonsThe 7-bolt is bolt in, no wiring differences and no 6-bolt swap crap. All you have to do is plug the drain holes on the top...

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    Yeah, i'm looking for a quick spooling, fast street car that I can get into the 12's.On a worse note, I was torquing my head down tonight for the last time and I pulled the threads out of one hole on my block. I am going to try to get a helicoil (sp?) and get that done tomorrow. I could not...

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    Just an update. I filled the piston dome up with modeling clay on #1, bolted the head down, put the timing belt on and spun it over. The valves did not make a mark in the clay at all :thumb:

    Brian Crower BC0101

    FWIW I have the Crower 64414's and Crower told me to just drop them in straight up. I talked to some people on here and they say to drop them in straight up and get them tuned on a dyno if I wanted to waste the money.

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    Thanks for the help guys, I just just sold the fp's to friend.Now all I have to worry about is the piston to valve clearance. I had to have my block decked a little so I guess we'll see what happens.

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    Yeah, I have already put the gears on the cams and put the cams in the head. I just wasnt sure if I could run them straight up on zero until I go through break in and get it to a dyno.Also, after putting the cams in the head and seeing how far the valves open I am sccared that there may not...

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    I actually called forced performance and they said to run the Crower's. Kind of ironic, huh.Did you have adjustable cam gears with your Crower's? I have adjustable cam gears but Crower said to just drop them in straight up. They said that I could not really degree the cams right with hla's...

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    Well, I have been building my motor for a while and picked up the Crower's for cheap and then I got the fp2's for money owed to me the other day. So, I now have both and was just wondering which would be the better of the 2.THanks

    Crower 64414's vs fp2's

    I am trying to get my motor together right now and am in a pickle. I bought Crower 64414 cams a while back to go in my motor. I put them in the head today and WOW!Anyways, now I have come upon another set of cams and cant decide which ones to use. I believe they are fp2's, they have these...

    ACL bearings

    Yeah, we're getting everything straightened out hopefully. Once I get the shipping label tomorrow I can ship these bearings back and get the right one's. I have been dealing with Tom Dahl and he has been great help. I understand it was just an honest mistake.

    ACL bearings

    I got in touch with Slowboy today and come to find out, they sent me the wrong bearings. I have really not had a good experience with Slowboy this time. I have delt with them a few times before and everything was fine but this time has really killed me in getting my motor together :cry: . They...

    ACL bearings

    I just ordered engine pro bearings from Slowboy and when I opened the box they are Aluglide bearings. Acl makes them but they are aluminum silicone. I thought engine pro's were tri-metal. Are these the bearings that have taken the place of engine pro or what? Should I send them back? I thought...

    Which way to go 2.0 or 2.3?

    As far as the cams and cam gears, I have done quite a bit of research. Personally, I am going to run Crower 64414's in my 2.4 which I heard is kinda like a 280. I read that I need to run a more aggressive cam in a 2.4.I called Crower and they said install them straight up with no cam gears...
