The first 2.4L turbocharged engine was the EDZ turbo (variant of regular EDZ engine and developed by Chrysler's Mexican division), used on the Mexican Dodge Stratus R/T & Cirrus since 1996 to 2000. It was developed as a replacement for the earlier single-cam 2.2L and 2.5L turbo engines that were very popular in Mexico.
It uses Sequential fuel injection, has roller tappets and features forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and either a cast aluminum or reinforced plastic intake manifold. The 3.3 has a timing chain, and is an interference engine meaning that the valves will collide with the pistons in the event of a timing chain failure.
The first version of this engine family was a normally aspirated 2.2 L (134 cu in) unit. Developed under the leadership of Chief Engineer – Engine Design and Development Willem Weertman and head of performance tuning Charles "Pete" Hagenbuch, who had worked on most of Chrysler's V-8 engines and the Chrysler Slant-6 engine, [1] it was introduced in the 1981 Dodge Aries, Dodge Omni, Plymouth ...
Although the pre-Magnum (1971–92) and Magnum versions of the 360 cu in (5.9 L) are both externally balanced, the two are balanced differently (the Magnum version uses lighter pistons) and each requires a uniquely balanced damper, flywheel, drive plate, or torque converter. Bore and stroke size was 4 in × 3.58 in (101.6 mm × 90.9 mm ...
The 2.5 L also shared an 18mm threaded oil filter used with the GM 2.8 L (ACDelco PF47 or equivalent) through 1986, when the 4.0 L was phased into production with the XJ models, the oil filter was changed over to a 20mm thread size shared with Renaults until 1991.

Dodge versions were passenger side differential drop, standard rotation gears, kingpin knuckles and 35 spline axle shafts in early models. The 2nd Generation axles were driver's side with ball joints. 30 spline axle shafts were used instead of 35 splines, except 2000, 2001 and 2002 models which were equipped with 32 spline axle shafts.
The second-generation engine, also displacing 8.0 L, produced 450 hp (456 PS; 336 kW) at 5200 rpm and 490 lb⋅ft (664 N⋅m) of torque at 3700 rpm. [3] 1999 was the last year for forged pistons until the 5th gen engine was released in 2012. There was an emissions transition happening around this time that may have influenced this.
