engine and tranny lifts and engine upgrades
any suggestions for what type of engine and tranny lifts??? AND how much does the engine weigh? how about the tranny? when i get my neon back in either the end ofoctober or beginning of january, i'm going to start building the engine and i want to swap the tranny for a mtx.
What kind of power am i looking at if i do the following upgrades:
(from modernperformance.com) http://www.modernperformance.com/dcx/PL95_index.shtml
DOHC (Dual overhead cam engine 1995-1999 Neons)
[ul][*]Stage 1 -Replace restrictive stock intake with a high flowing intake (Iceman or Kirk) [*]Stage 2- Replace heavy, restrictive crankshaft pulley with lighter, smaller pulley (MPx, or Unorthodox pulley) [*]Stage 3- Have intake manifold processed by Extrude Hone.
(due to the DOHC responding very well to intake modification, we feel that the extrude hone process belongs at #3.)[*]Stage 4- Replace stock exhaust manifold with Kirk header for higher gas flow output [*]Stage 5- Install large bore TB for higher air flow into engine from intake.
(MPx Billet TB) and port match the intake manifold.[*]Stage 6- Install prothane motor mount inserts, rear bobble strut, install new spark plug wires and MSD computer. [*]Stage 7- Install rear muffler (Vibrant, Thermal, Borla exhaust)[/ul]
It's going to cost me about $1,004 for the parts. I already have a full exhaust system. megan header, new cat(standard), new pipes(2.25 i think, maybe 2.5), and aftermarket stock muffler(i got tired of getting tickets with my aftermarket "ricer" muffler). And a ebay/"home made" CIA. I'll be doing the installing. For stage 3, should i get the INDY intake manifold http://www.modernperformance.com/dcx...manifold.shtml??

RE: engine and tranny lifts and engine upgrades
http://toolsteal.com/index.php?cat_i...p;prod_id=4332i wouldnt pay more that 300$ for an engine lift, sometimes you can get some good deals a checkers or autozone.
