2.0L Cams in the Srt-4?

[Skittle]

What's all this about,i read about it awhile back,but i wanna know if any gains can be had,and whats the difference?Also does anyone know the Lift/Duration specs on the 2.0L and 2.4L turbo cams?

[cali]

I hear there are gains, but they jury is out on setting them up....

Big Yeller skittle Riven, did u put em in yet?

[Skittle]

Awaits for Rivens reply :-)

Is the cam journals the same in the new gen 2.4's as older 2.0 neon and 2.4 caravan motors?

[Josiah]

yes, all 2.0DOHC and 2.4 use the exact same head, the 03-up head is just a different port design with a different oil return passage, the rest of the head is still the same

Know any cam specs?...I'm thinking about doing this,plus the 2.0L cams are cheap,and readily available

[Josiah]

I know, I have a spare set sitting in the back of my car right now...I see a whole lot of posts around on the subject, but no real evidence of whether they help, they are almost certainly better than the stock SRT4 cams though(which I'm pretty sure chrysler just used from the NA 2.4 motors) they have a somewhat higher powerband and more lift than all stock 2.4 cams except maybe the 96 2.4 cams(have an extra set of those too) I would use one of those sets myself except I thought I should get some use out of my #14s after what I paid for them, but check on neons.org or srt4forums.com for many many speculation threads with no real evidence

If you wanna sell your 2.0 cams let me know :-)

[riven]

Whats the point. I would cost 10x more to put them in, then the cost of the cams alone.

[Josiah]

sure $40 is all I want for them, he right though, you would probably want to install them yourself, otherwise a shop is gonna charge you an arm and a leg

[riven]

unless you are experienced retiming the engine, dont think about it.

[cali]

setting timing is pretty easy, just read the book, take your time

[riven]

well then cali ole bia, come time my car :)

Install the cams, I'll set your timing to factory specs

[Josiah]

timing is a cinch, done it a half dozen times on my car, and just so you know, I am using SRT cam gears, water pump, timing belt and timing belt tensioner...so yes the procedure is the same, its easy...just takes a few tries

[Fast420A]

I changed the cams on my 420A powered Eclipse with a set of Crane Regrinds a few years ago in my driveway with just hand tools. I even figured a way to do it without removing the timing belt and cam gears. Zipties and white out for marking the cam gear and belt position are your friends. It can be and has been done by a few 420A people so it shouldn't be a problem to do it yourself.

[Josiah]

heh, the old bungee cord trick? no but if your doing it anyway, might as well change your timing belt, even if you only have like 10 or 15k miles on it, after all, it will be 10 or 15k miles more before you have to do it again...thats a years worth of driving
