Default How much HP....

would a 96 coupe sport SOHC neon get if i added a pacesetter exhaust iceman intake, mopar performance pcu, and a chill factory intercooled turbo. I was thinking somewhere along the line of 400ish hp, am i to far off? Thanks much!

Yeah just a little, 250-275 is more realistic. And if you use a performance PCM with the turbo you will damage the engine.

You can run the performace PCM if you lower the compression ratio, but if its stock you need the stock pcm. I have asked the same question and have not found an answer except for the stock PCM or a engine managment system.

i was reading that chill factory turbo.... it says 8psi boost.... that doesn't seem much cuz the srt-4 and my friends talon tsi give like 20+ boost.. i mean i know some turbo is better then none but a bigger turbo would be nicer.....for that kind of money..

You can up the boost on the chill factory turbo, but with out switching to forged internals and dropping the compression ratio, you can only run 8-9psi, without damaging the motor.

I don't know too much about turbo, but I do know what I've read on it. If you're going to run turbo, you're going to want the stock PCM, not the Mopar PCM, not the AFX PCM. 8 PSI is about all you're going to be able to run without beefing up internals. If you plan on running more, you'd better be beefing up them internals. If I ever take my Neon turbo, I want to run 10-15 PSI, which just means that the project is going to be all the more costly for me when/if I get around to it.

yeah, as the above people said, 400hp is pretty far off.
also, as mentioned, the mopar ecu + turbo isnt a good idea, due mainly to the advanced spark timing that ecu gives.
cant use the pacesetter exhaust or iceman with turbo either, since the turbo parts replace those.

actually the only thing you can use is the exhuast. You may have to cut and weld it, but it will work easier than a full custom.

doh. cant believe i said that you cant use the exhaust. i was thinking pacesetter header, even tho i was reading and typing exhaust.
