Just curious as to what kinda of fuel mileage you are getting with the srt 4 turbo set up? driving on a normal day?
just wondering how drastic the change was, I'm thinking of going that way also
thanks Brian

 

with the stock internal 150,000 mile motor and the srt4 turbo, i was averaging about 28mpg.....though with the new motor i will probally only see about 10mpg

 

thanks man, so do you think the factor srt 4 turbo only producing about 6 psi would be ok with stock internals?
thats all i want ot run for now
thanks
Brian

 

i ran 8psi with mine and it worked fine.....my problems came when i didnt have a catch can and found out then when i really hit the gas, it shot alot of oil out of the motor......after a long day of really hard driving i ended up loosing alot of oil and didnt realize it until i heard a rod knocking[&:]

 

where was the oil coming out at? any way to prevent that?

 

I dont understand that. where and why does the oil come out?

 

oil would come out of the pcv valve and the valve cover valve...alot of turbo motors have that problem, only way to really fix it is to install an oil catch can, and watch your oil level

 

If its blowing out thru the pcv would there also be oil getting pushed into the Intake manifold thru the pcv line?
interesting
I know if you take the pcv valve hose off it runs rough, but i wonder what would happen if you blocked it off or possibly run a return line from the pcv back to the oil pan...
is it from the boost pressure that makes the oil shoot out of the valves?
I'd think there would have to be a way to prevent having oil blow out

I'll have to look at mine and try to think of something,
do even the new SRT 4s have this problem?
maybe they have done something on those that could be done on a 2.0L

 

you talkin about the two hoses comin off the valve cover?

 

if you blocked it off then you would have bigger problems....the crankcase needs the vent
it is boost pressure that causes it.....when you have a n/a car, it make vaccum that sucks air in...boost pushes it out..
srt4's do have the same problem but not as bad.....their solution is the catch can
