What did you use to space the cam gear out?

How did you rig up a throttle cable for two tb's on opposite sides of the manifold? More info on this setup would be cool

That happened to me with a JDM Astina Familia that I bought for €280. Someone came up to me while I was in the driveway working on it and offered me €1200 on the spot. I went inside to get the spare key and title and he was on his way.

good that it still runs, but why worry how much its worth when whenever you modify anything to begin with it looses its value? you already spent money youll never see again in the first place...

and if you think a V6 mustang is an upgrade, may God have mercy on your soul. you would have been better off with 2.4L SOHC turbo. now thats a unique build...

oh yea the video sucked

lol

kinda odd for someone to do so much work and have a 'working' 2.4 sohc and not document anything that matters..

Exactly what I was thinking. More info!!!!

Ok, so it seems that any pic that shows its a 2.4 doesn't show the head in the same shot, and the shot that shows the SOHC head also shows the stock 2.0 motor mount
No build pix, nothing documenting any of the mods that stop anyone else from doing it
and now its suddenly sold? lol even if it wasn't BS I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking it
Its doable, I had all the parts i needed, and knew what to do
NRGY raceported magnum head, box intake made by nemo with ported upper runners, then i realized with all the work i had in it, i could make MORE power with less work from a DOHC lol

It would still be neat because there has only been one ever pictured on the neon forums, but unless you had to have a SOHC for a raceclass its a waste

not to say this SOHC 2.4 didnt happen, but how can anyone be sure with no info?

i like the dual throttle bodies but I doubt theres a way to rig a cable to open them both. Nice show piece though...lol

spoo76 · Post by **spoo76** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:09 am

I'm sure there is a way, its been done on other cars before, I wouldnt doubt its been done to a neon as well
Is it worth it? prob not but it would work to some degree

its not real...the right motor mount is the 2.0 stock mount. I had to look real close...post up pics of this next 2.4 SOHC swap, and do an actual log and make sure you do a write-up of it as well. Im not gonna do it, but Id like to see it actually done to the "T"...
