Turbo for my Neon is this a good price??
Monday, May 15, 2006 11:51 PM
hey whats up guys

as alot of you know ive been looking for a new car and trying to get out of this neon but looks like im stuck with it for the moment so i figuer maybe i should turbo it but im not sure if i should because it has 135k on it all highway miles though, so ive been looking on ebay and one guy has a small kit with the turbo manifold and the turbo and a down pipe for $500 is this a good deal or no... i have no clue.

this is what i figuer i would get this and a cheap intercooler pipe kit, a adjustable FMU, adjustable fuel pressure regulator,in line pump, and some larger injectors from ebay and just push like 6psi on the engine or go intercooled and run 8-10 psi all for like under $1000

what you guys think also did i miss anything??

here is the link ebay turbo
to me it looks good for the price but i dunno please help me out

thanks

I have no clue how long a neon engine lasts.... let alone a boosted one
so definitely do your research on some neon forums. If the engine can
handle the boost, if you tolerate your neon, and if you can boost it for
1G than why not... have some fun while you're still young.

if you really hate this car, and you want to trade it asap than save your
money. 1G can go towards something else you like.

My only question is will the trans hold the added power?

yeah the engine in these cars are really good and can last a long time if taken care of even if its boosted, they can take around 10psi on stock internals and the tranny can hold up pretty good. but i think Urban is right i might wanna put that money towards something i really want like a GTP instead so i guess im gonna stick this one out and just ride this car to the ground while i save up some more money

thanks guys

do some research on the srt-4 motors and then compare the regular neon to the srt-4

srt-4 engine is based on the 2.4dohc stratus engine, the differences are that the interials are forged , different compression ratio, and different crank sensor. its not hard to swap in a srt-4 engine into the car theproblem is when you go to wire it all up lol thats why most stick with just a stratus 2.4 engineand boost that instead... also the 2.4dohc is based on the 2.0 dohc so all the engines are in the same family but like i said most stick with the 2.4dohc instead of the 2.4T

SOHCs are for your feet

If you want a nice reliable setup w/o boosting, I'd go for the 2.4 from the Stratus (as you said). There are people running mid-high 14 w/ this swap right out of the box. And you would have torque!
