I'm looking at building my own SRT4. I've recently aquired a nice 2dr neon with a bad engine to put a 2.4 in that I built in school. I heard that I'm probably going to have some wiring problems anyone one know what I might be facing?. The 2.4 I built is 10.8:1 compression, I've got Brian Crower cams, Eagle rods, JE pistons. I also picked up a custom flashed PCM.

 

Got it all figured out thank's to the Neons.org web site. Now I need to find a DOHC hood cuz the stock hood doesn't clear the intake cam.

 

Is this going to be an engine only or are you going to turbocharge it?

 

all motor, I can't put a turbo on a 10.8:1 compresssion engine. I got the motor in the car last night. I've got most of the wiring figured out. I need to find a hood that will clear the cam sprockets. The stock flat hood doesn't clear.

 

That is exactly what I was going to say. Was making sure. Should be an interesting ride once it is all put together. VIS makes a carbon fiber SRT style hood that might work or I am sure you can find a non carbon fiber SRT style hood also.

 

I wonder if the DOHC neon sport hood will fit? I hate to spend the money unless I know. I started the car today and it sounds quite stout. Was there ever a factory limited slip diff?

 

The only car with limited slip diff was the SRT-4 starting in 2004. You could always put one in though.

 

yes the sport hood will work as long as it has the bulge on the top on the passenger side like this

 

How are you doing the exhaust? What type of exhaust manifold are you using?

 

I have a header and 2½" exhaust with a Borla muffler
