I desperately need info on any and all performance parts for a '95 2.5 liter engine (HO head, supercharger, cams, computers,etc).

I know I could swap it, but that little mill is just begging to be beafed up!.

you can add all the up grades possible,and its still a 4cyl,i know my first wrangler was a 95 rio grande.i did everything shy of a supercharger,and a 4cyl isnt worth that kinda money.all they are good for is around town and on the trail.and once you are in 4-low,theres no differnce between 4,6,or 8.i would trade it off and get the 4.0 litre.but if you wanna try it,go to RPM machine in utah,they have a website,i got a performance engine kit,upgraded cam,bored .40 over,pace setter header,magnaflow exhaust,air intake,62mm throttle body,high flow adjustable fuel pressure regulator etc......endless amounts of parts,time and money,and still was a turd lol.but good luck with what ever you do.  

Were in the midst of planning a 2.5 that will hit 190HP. Tis is a popular engine by virtue of how many were sold and it should be able to be done at a moderate level of cost.  Problem is that people don't realise how much horsepower costs. When you jump to a big v-8 you can do so into a modest v-8 and think youve just gotten the world.  When you start with a 4 banger your starting at the point where you'd be looking at super street parts for a v-8.  Head work, cams intakes etc.

The near twin to the AMC 2.5, the iron duke, is running in circle track cars putting out 250-300 Hp without a blower or turbo.  The differance? There are companies willing to invest the R&D to make those engine crank out power becasue there is a market for it.

I have talked to the guys at RPM and a couple of the other good machine shop that do jeep work, and they have all said that while it's a good engine most folks aren't willing to spend the $5K to make power in one.

Forgot to add...

If your looking for a cool swap thats not the typical v-8, the 2.4 of the newer jeeps is the same motor from the Neans.  You can get that little monster to around 350 hp without too much trouble. If you found a wrecked neon, preferably an SR or SRT, you could make the swap real easy since the tranny and t case will bolt right up, and it's about the same length as the 2.5. The electronics would also have to be scammed from the donor car.

It would definatley shock folks if you hammered it in that thing and they asked whats in it?  "oh a 4 banger"

i put 3k in mine and still was a dog.its not worth the time and money when you can take that differnce and trade it off or get a bigger engine.jeeps are bricks on wheels as it is,and a 4cyl is never gonna be able to contend 4.0 or bigger.i didnt belive it till i had all the work done and broke the motor in,and in the end it was still the same old slow non powered 4cyl.jeeps need more torque than hp,and thats somthing that will never come from that engine.but like i said before,you have to try it for yourself,and maybe the out come will be better.  

HEY AD' BOB  WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFO ABOUT THE 2.5 NEON ENGINE SWAP TO A 4CYL JEEP?

If I'm not mistake the 2.5 in question is a shortend and shrunk 4liter.
not an Iron duke, not the neon motor.
as far as I know this engine was only used in Wranglers , Cherokees, and Dakotas

the only real reason to build the 2.5 is because its lighter than the 4.0, but so is a LS1.

you have plenty of room for a bigger engine, go with a bigger engine

The AMC 2.5 is not the iron duke, just used it as a comparison for HP per liter. The 2.5 AMC is a 4.0 liter with the center two cylinders cut out.  Thats why many of the components are the same.

The Neon motor in quesiton is the 2.4L and it puts out considerable horspower for it's size.  It puts out more HP than most folks are getting out of their v-8s. 230 HP and 250 ft/lbs of torque aint bad for a v-8 much less a 4 banger. And the 4 banger ways a ton less than V-8.

As to the swap I'm unaware of any Jeep swaps that have been published, but it should bolt right up since the bottom end is the exact same block as the one used in the Jeeps. You'd have to scam the motor and all the electronics. You may even want to consider the neon tranny if you could scam one thats not been fragged by the ricer crowd.

neon is FWD, no reusing the tranny in a jeep  

Whoops good call on the transverse mounted front driver. Engine block is still the same though.
