Looking great!!! I think I'm having valve envy. smile I'm curious how that setup would work with my lockup auto. You just never know. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />


I liked the non lockup 4cyl auto with a turbo better than the non lockup V6 auto trans with a turbo, I think a lockup 4cyl auto would be the man. The smaller torque converter gets the turbo spooling quicker which i liked for my mostly around town driving.


I agree that a little bit of stall speed is a good thing. My lockup converter is from a V6. I did send it in an have the fins modded to get a higher stall. Combined with the small turbo from the stock starion engine, it spools very well. A decent down pipe off the turbo also made a huge difference.

From what I have read, the stock 2.0 turbo on a 2.4 spools pretty quickly.

I have been fooling with 2.6 motors for a long long time, it works, but at the same time it getting a bit boring. That the the valve cover on the 2.4 motor is way, way cooler looking than the the 2.6's.
