With a 2.4 you either need the stock waterpump with a spacer or a 03 outlander waterpump and modify a few things to make it fit. next you need either the stock timing belt or the old galant timing belt than you need to also get new cam gears to make the timing right.

which ever route you go you may want to get a 4.11 final drive to help compensate so you don't have to rev the motor as high to keep that engine from over revving to much.
