Dose anyone have a link to swaping the sohc 2.4 into dohc?

ive asked around and nobody seems to tell me a direct in depth answer. I would like a very in depth tutorial on timing. Why it works the way it does, why adjusting your timing +/- can have positive or negitive repercusions on power, depending on N20 applications and non-N20 applications. I am aware that timing retards after 7 counts of knock to "save" your engine from premature detonation. But the main issue i have is why timing works the way it does. I know to gain the most power your timing should be advanced several counts, and when it retards you loose power. The several ways to advance timing, or rather keep the timing from retarding are: Decreasing boost, Higher octane fuel, and finally adding fuel at a specific RPM point in which your timing is pulled.
Can anyone else give me more information, from very basic to very advanced on why timing works the way it does, and how it works with different applications, such as N20 and TUNING. thank you for your time-

[got_no_sol]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, But I've been looking through the tech articles and most of them that have pictures have no pictures (sorry for the bad english )

Could we not have all the pictures in the tech articles hosted on this web site so that they would be around forever and ever ?

Hi,

I know it is probably to big to cover all specs (meaning caster, camber and toe), but an idea of what they should be when cars are lowered 1", 1.5", 2", and so on. And if it makes a differences also with tire sizes. If someone can make a rule for example with X tire and lowered X amount you need to adjust caster X amount, camber X amount and toe X amount.
Thanks!!

Sincerely,

Sven

I would like to see how to make your own guage cluster in a 2g using all aftermarket gauges either utilizing stock cluster or by making your own. I have seen a few posts with a lot of interest including myself and I cant seem to find any really detailed articles on replacing every single gauge with aftermarket like autometer cobal gauges.

I couldn't find it on this web. Maybe you guy are like pro... but for me just the beginning... so I needed some.

 

[flinguist]

A FAQ on porting turbos to eliminate boost creep. There are a few guys out there that have done extensive porting of the waste gate inlet and outlet areas and successfully eliminated creep. This was achieved without removing the waste gate/turbo outlet divider (also referred to as a PTE style port job), which also works, but is supposed to hurt turbo efficiency.
