V1 Built 2.4l Supercharged

[KingChuck24]

Hello everyone,

I plan on building my 2.4l Ecotec motor and just wanted some confirmation on my build list.

I am planning on purchasing the ZZP LE5 ported head then sticking there LE5 performance cams in it.
I am planning to get JE forged pistons and ZZP 2.4l forged rods.
Finally for the other parts I am planning to get the ZZP neutral balance shafts, ARP head studs, and bring the block to the machine shop to get decked and honed.

Is there anything that I am missing? I am hoping this motor can withstand around 450 whp for a possible turbo upgrade.

Thanks!

That looks like a good start for making it a stronger engine.
You didn't mention any fuel modifications... maybe you are going to do this later?
Bigger fuel injectors, boost reference fuel system to help those big injectors to allow engine idling, bigger fuel pump.
Also valvetrain... big cams work the valve springs more. Some people want the engine to run higher RPM.

I already have 80# injectors and a higher LPH fuel pump.
The ZZP ported head says it comes with 82# valve springs and titanium retainers so I was thinking that should cover the valvetrain things.
I will definitely look into a boost referenced fuel system.

Thank you for the info!
