Given the aftermarket parts available for Honda's, Mustangs, etc, I was
wondering if there is much out there to soup up a 2002 Stratus? (2.4 L 4
cylinder, DOHC). I know Dodge makes a 2.4 L turbo. Is a turbo kit
available as an aftermarket part?

RIPP modifications offers a super charger for the Eclipse/stratus. It runs
about $3000 for the full package, I think their website is rippmods.com, but
there is definately a link on 2gstratus.org to their site. Also a lot of
information on their about the car.

Many thanks!

Ok. Next dumb question. On the RIPP site, they keep referring to the 4G64
engine (in Stratus coupe). What's the difference between that and the 2.4 L
DOHC found in my 4 door sedan?

actually, I never really looked into it, I saw it once and only looked at it
for about 2 minutes before I realized a) I didn't want to blow up my car and
B) I couldn't afford it... so they may not have anything for the sedan.
(get the COUPE!)

I know that a good bit of info can be found on that site 2gstratus.org, but
again, someone there would be better equiped to answer your questions i'm
sure. I'm just dumb.

That's the engine block code, probably. For my car, it's 6G72 IIRC;
that's a 3.0L V6. For what they are referring to, it's just the block,
not the heads, not the cams, nothing but the block (probably -- I'm not an
expert, but with my engine code I've seen it used to refer to 3.0 engines
that have options mine doesn't, for example DOHC).

Chances are that if you're looking at a site with an engine that was an
option for your car (or, the same displacement/cylinders/arrangement) then
your code will be the same.

FWIW, it's also stamped onto the block in a fairly conspicuous (*read, "if
you can get to it") place.

Thanks. I'll poke around next weekend and see if I can find the number.

As a side note, I was checking out pictures from the SRT Neon site. I
checked out all the engine photos I could find. If you strip the turbo
plumbing off the SRT Neon, it looks like the same motor as my Stratus. Of
course, who knows what upgrades they may have inside. With a turbo,
hopefully they've boosted the strength of the crank, rods, and pistons (no
pun intended) .

That's very common indeed. The 2.2L Turbos were identical to each other
and the 2.2 N/A with the exception of the turbos themselves, and the 2.5
was almost identical to the 2.2, just stroked and bored IIRC. 3.0 was
pretty much by itself in chrysler cars, but in use with Mitsus they had
the option of DOHC and twin turbo. Too bad they were put in the other way
and the trannies aren't interchangeable.

3.8L V6 in chryslers was nothing but a stroked/bored 3.3L.

So yeah, the 2.4 you have is most likely the same engine, just w/o turbo
and paraphernelia (sp?)
