do you guys know if you could hypothectically put a 2.4 turbo in a 99 neon? 2.0 sohc. has anyone done this? and is it worth it?

 

Yep yep and yep, It all depends on the time you have and the knowledge of mechanics you have.

 

Been done. Whether or not it's "worth it" is up to the owner. Being able to say you've done an SRT-swap into a 1st gen is pretty cool, even if it's gonna cost you $5-7k to have a 230ish HP car. You can build up a non-turbo PT Cruiser 2.4L to over 350 HP for less than that. Of course, if you manage to find a wrecked SRT-4 real cheap, I'd say pick up the FSM's for both years and hop to it.

Best of luck!

 

Here is a 2.4 Swap How-To adding the turbo would be easy since you have the engine out to begin with.

 

ok but what would be a easier swap or should i just keep the 2.0 and mod it???

 

I myself would choose the modding 2.0, because you dont have to fiddle with the motor mounts or electrical stuff if you want to work the motor.

 

I think thats an obvious question...it would be easier to mod what you have. You don't have to worry about fab work and cutting, splicing and so on, but you won't have as much HP. So you have to decide on what you want.
