Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / October 2004Stratus Engine Swap?
I have a '95 Stratus with 186,000 miles and a very tired 2.0L coupled to a 5-speed. Anyone know how much of a hassel it would be to put a 2.4L in its place while keeping the 5-speed? This combo wasn't offered when I bought the car back in '95, but sure would be a lot more fun than the 2.0. I'm debating between making a project car or donating it to the Kidney Foundation. -Ed Dreistadt If it wasnt offered before......how are you gonna get the engine controller that will make the 2.4 run?? > I have a '95 Stratus with 186,000 miles and a very tired 2.0L coupled > to a 5-speed.

ED- Bolt pattern's the same, as are the engine mounts, etc. The sticking point would be the engine control module. The 2.0 module wouldn't happily run a 2.4, but a module for a 2.4 with automatic transmission would be less than happy running in front of a manual. If I had to pick, I'd use a 2.4/auto module and deal symptomatically with whatever effects might show up. Of course, there are bound to be 2.4 litre engines and control modules available out of crashed PT Cruisers, by now... www.car-part.com is your friend! -DS If that was not offered back then ,,,, then there was no module back then either, you can interchange the modules from apllication to application such as pt cruiser to stratus, the harness are different, the same with needeing to know if it is an automatic trans or manual, assuming you are in an area that requires a state emmission program.....u may have serious problems > > I have a '95 Stratus with 186,000 miles and a very tired 2.0L coupled to > > a 5-speed.

Mine has an Omni GLHS engine control module with an overlay harness that lets the car run the intake system from a '90 2.5. Figured there might be someone out there who has figured out how to hot rod a Stratus. I wonder if the head from the Stratus would swap on to a 2.4, allowing me to keep all the current controls? Probably way too much work, but fun to think about. Also, shoot me an email when you get a chance. I still have your Slant 6 clock. -Ed >> I have a '95 Stratus with 186,000 miles and a very tired 2.0L coupled to >> a 5-speed.

No, the problem with running the 2.0 computer is that its spark and fuel curves are set up for the 2.0, not the 2.4. It would probably run, just probably somewhere between "not optimally" and "not very well". DS > Dan: > shoot me an email when you get a chance. I still have your Slant 6 > clock. Tried, but e-mail bounces "no such user" even when I delete the "NOSPAM". Go hit danielsternlighting.com and send me mail from there? DS |
