cute nhia...hahahahaha

That thing would be mega sleeper if it wasn't for the huge exhaust can. Get a bigger turbo and supporting fuel system and start beating some ass. Otherwise, there's a turbo prism on mnsc that prolly wants a piece of that action :P

twack · 11-06-2009

is that the car that was running megasquirt from mankato?

allyoucaneat_talon · 11-06-2009

No, I got this car from up north. Yea it's a sleeper, but when you stop at a stop light, you can totally tell that the car is not a sleeper with the stage 3 cams...

Ihearrtdsm · 11-06-2009

cool car, and yay for another 420a :-D

deadeye · 11-06-2009

Interesting. Not really hot about the baby fuel injection system but I suppose its probably good for what its got.

It is a sleeper for sure.

I bet a 16g and some 750's would make it a wheel spin rocket. Heck, a 14b and some 550's would be sweet.

That's what I was thinking of. Well Let you guys now more about the plans.

Nice! That things the hawtness! Definitely agree with the above. Fuel system, bigger turbo, more boost! Do you mind me asking how much you got it for?

I'm in the middle of a full srt4 swap into a '96 coupe myself. I hope to have it running by spring.

Did you buy this from a guy named Brandon?

I did a trade . The guy needed a 4dr car. If it wasn't a trade, he was asking $4000.00

I've known him for a while, great guy and you should have a pretty solid car there.

Didn't he say it already has a srt turbo? Aren't those small16g's?

Any dyno numbers?

mdost03 · 11-07-2009

I'm not exactly sure the specs on the stock SRT turbos, but they are very small haha.

jrohner · 11-07-2009

That tiny toy turbo has got to be holding it back with stg3 cams and ported head, as are the injectors.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 11-07-2009

Hmm... Seems like a lot of work to put into a Neon...

allyoucaneat_talon · 11-07-2009

No dyno numbers yet. Hoping for this coming up spring. I'm just going to store it and find a beater. Yea srt-4 turbo are tiny compare to 16g. I think the max boost on it is 15psi. I lower the boost to only 8psi. Plan is to go 50trim with 750cc. But not sure yet. Still searching and reading on stuff about it.

Isn't that what a rusty Neon is?
