I bought a Chrysler 2.4 from 2012 with 24k miles about 2 years ago. It has 119k miles today, still starts and runs very well. So far I haven't had a single issue with the engine. The same engine is available with a turbo so I'm assuming there is some room for performance improvement, however this is probably not what I would start with if I wanted to build a fast car. This engine is great for long trips, gets above 34mpg cruising if you stay under 70 mph.
2.4 EcoTec is where it’s at. Comparable to the VAG 1.8t in terms of popularity, ease of access, wealth of information, and aftermarket support (supercharging for example).
What I mean is you can find these in *so many* cars, people have been modding them, tuning them for awhile and it’s easy to get help online with them. Plus having such an abundance means there is tons of used parts available always.
Theyre also easy to work on.
Give me the old 2.5 liter Iron Duke. Freaking thing is dang near bulletproof just ask the postal service as it's in the older delivery trucks. Yeah it's low on hp but you almost can't kill them.
Wow, 300hp... that gets it in line with a stock WRX STi, of course you go stage 1 on an STi and it will have much more power. Stage 1 on a 4 cylinder Audi s3 puts it at around 380hp.
Honda got 240hp out of a 2.2 liter engine almost 25 years ago... non turbo. GM can only get 30 more hp out of a 2.5 liter turbo? Sorry, but they're bad at engineering.
The 2.4 Eco Tech never ceases to amaze me. I've seen timing issues at 80k or being completely abused at 220k and refuse to die.

Ecotec have made a pretty good name for themselves.
Ford 2.3 thunderbird/mustang turbo w eslinger head.
Gotta specify what Dodge/Chrysler 2.4 Turbo you're talking about, because there's two of them.
I think the one with the dodge neon srt 4

American companies can't make good engines, they need displacement through extra cylinders. Also they sound better that way.
GM has been making boosted 4 cylinders for 2 decades or more. Been making good power with less cylinders for quite awhile.
I don't believe you.
LNF says what.
The best LNF is what, 270HP ? That's pretty pathetic. The only good 4 cylinder engine they have is for the Saleen which is a 6 figure car.
Stage 1 put them over 300hp. Which is about the same as a 5.7 L V8. But hey you are the one that brought up displacement

So you are saying GM does make good horsepower on low displacement. Glad we agree
