to ask a more "simple" question wat would be the recommened/requirment parts to run the stock SRT4 turbo on a 98 DOHC motor as far as bottom end wise!?! it would be much appreciated if i could know wat piston size, compression ratio, and etc!! sry to ask so much but i cant seem to find any specs on a comparison ona SRT4 block to a 2.0DOHC block!!?[:@]
thanks!!!!

 

tell me how much you want to spend and I'll tell you what your best bet and setup would be...

 

requirements... you can run that turbo on your stock block. i think its reccomended running around 7psi on stock compression (9.6:1).

 

If were talkin money the lets say ima start spending around $1500!!!! cuz i wanna get some stuff before i send it out to the machine shop!!! thanks n much appreciated!!!!

 

when building a motor, $1500 wont get you a hell of alot...

what you need to think about is how much boost you wanna run....if your only gonna push about 10psi or less, then dont wast the money on lower compression or forged pistons...

if you run about 8psi on a stock bottom end then you will do just fine, though you can also use JE pistons that drop the compression to about 8.8:1...the difference, besides about $2,000 is that the car would actually run fasted on the stock bottom end...

only reason to upgrade the pistons for the srt4 turbo is if you plan on running more then 10psi..
but trust me, 8psi on a stock bottom end with a nice set of cams is alot faster then most people expect

 

you think with the suggestions you made i would be able to keep up with a Stage 2 SRT4? or at leasta stock srt??

 

with a completely stock internal engine and only an srt4 turbo with intercooler running 8 pounds of boost, and the mods to support it, your car will waste a stock srt4

 

ok lets say with JE pistons and connecting rods from MPx with some #12 cams!! what kind of damage amI lookn at, against a stock SRT4, not to metion i already got the full urethane bushing kit for F/R suspension including solid motor mount inserts!!
heres a list of partsi got from a friends srt
-stock turbo n manifold w/BOV & wastegate
-stock exhaust system
-stock boost gauge
-stock stage 1 injectors
Parts on Order
-Boost controller
-Intercooler piping
-oil return lines

Any other suggestions or partswould be much appreciated!!!!!

 

with a built bottom end and an srt4 turbo, you would have the ability to run alot more boost...
when i was running 18psi, the car would easily take stage 3 sr4's, evo's and sti's

 

WOW!! i guess if ima go DOHC turbo i might as well do it right and build to with stand high boost!!!
