My new turbo neon.

[goodhart]

Only 17 psi on 111 with a built motor? Why so little boost?

Yeah, SRT-4's use piss ant little turbos stock just like my WRX, the little TD04 that comes on those is maxed at about 17-18 psi

Wow, that's pretty lame. So that brings me to my next question. If you're building an engine, and throwing a turbo on it, why put such a small one on?

[MN_3kgt]

Turbo is pretty close to maxed out at that point I believe.

Yeah I know anything past 16.5psi or so is useless without meth and even then a bigger turbo is where you want to be. Lots of people try to use meth with stock turbo and run just north of 20psi but 50trim is where its at.

I think the engine was probably from an old car he owned and the SRT parts he, most likey, got for free or uber-cheap since I remember he says he knows many SRT-4 owners up there with big turbo setups.

Yea, Mike is correct... kind of. I had my HX40 on there for a little while, but I had the srt4 turbo shit just laying around that I got for free from a buddy who went with a bigger setup.

I took the HX off, so it would be nore practical to drive. And I also only had open down pipe exhaust with the HX40...

The reason I hit 17psi max is because the srt turbo is no good after 16.5 really, anyways, so why push a turbo to the point where it's un efficent.

The engine in the Neon is the 2.0 I used in my RS, so I already had al laying around, so why not use it?

117mph in the 1320 is moving pretty good!

I noticed in one of the pictures that the TB looked like it had some slack in it, I assume that it still has the hydrolic tensioner in it, I know alot of neon people will use the mechanical one, It might even be an srt one.. Im not too sure i just know that the hydrolic ones suck on neons..

Nice car though, My buddy has a 99 Platinum 4 DR With a built motor, His is a NA setup but it moved pretty good till he spun a rod bearing..

[Supa_dupa_man]

Yea, it does still have the hydrolic tensioner.

I havn't heard any updates recently from nhia on my neon that he hasn't yet finished paying for... Guy went awol on me, he still owes me money for the car and until I get the rest of the cash I still have the title in my possesion and in my name... What do you guys think I should do about this?

[mdost03]

Repo it :)

[Supa_dupa_man]

Yea, I sent nhia another warning email, this is the last one he is getting, if I don't get a response, I will be going down there personally to get it back
