the ebay turbo kits are junk...the turbos are rebuilt, which isnt that bad, but the intercoolers are a waste...plus the ebay kits only come with the main parts, not everything that is needed...

and if you find an srt4 turbo without the manifold, dont buy it....if you plan on getting a srt turbo/manifold from ebay or anywhere else, make sure to ask if the turbo and manifold have ever been disconnected...if it has, then move on to another one.....

only problem with the srt4 turbo is that with it being as small as it is, it spools very quickly.....so its gonna be interresting trying not to spin the tires.....

 

ok das so what adapter (sohc also ) and where can i find it

 

The only person I know that makes them is mattdog and they cost $220.

 

$220 !!! damn... i found a turbo and manifold with 5k miles on it and the guy wants 275 obo and thats with no lines or anything. so if i lets say i bought the turbo and manifold and this 220 dollar adapter what else is left that i need to get to get the turbo working trying to make reasoning and prices for the wife to let me get it

 

Let's see off the top of my head...you will need:
*SRT-4 turbo and manifold
*SOHC adapter (if you have a SOHC)
*intercooler
*intercooler piping
*MAP clamp or missing link
*oil and cooling lines( feed & return)
*bigger fuel pump
*bigger injectors (you may get by on stock)
*boost controller (highly recommended)
*boost gauge
*Fuel pressure regulator
*downpipe

Did I miss anything spud?

 

couldnt i put the DOHC cylinder head on my SOHC and keep the SOHC internals?? wouldnt that lower my compression and is that good or bad? then i wouldnt need the adapter then that brings up another question switching out the head i would have to modify the engine wouldnt i? like another cam...ect...ect

that was another option i was thinking of just getting the dohc head and puttin in a srt turbo

 

I thought about the head swap also, but you would need do the the extra cam, extra cam gear, timing belt and so on. Seems like more work then just getting the adapter.

 

but how much less money if any

 

your probally gonna spend more on the dohc head and all the parts to swap over(head and all internal parts, intake manifold, thermostat housing, motor mount bracket, valve cover, and whatever else) then the adapter plate for the sohc...

internal parts for the dohC(cams, cam gears) cost about twice as much as the sohc, being that there are twice as many parts........but, if you build the bottom end a little then you wouldnt need performance cams or cam gears because you can just turn the boost up...so thats an option
i ordered alot of parts betewwn yesterday and today, so
here is my shopping list, and the parts with prices are what i have alredy ordered and the price i paid including shipping......

srt turbo/manifold/mopar BOV/oil, oolant lines......200.00
srt intercooler.......65.00
3 gauge piller pod.......19.00
srt stock boost gauge......20.00
autometer electric oil pressure gauge......47.00
autometer air/fuel ratio gauge.......45.00
boost controller........
walboro fuel pump.......
srt hot side intercooler pipe.....30.00
srt cold side intercooler pipe.....30.00
missing link......
stage 1 clutch.......
exhaust manifold gasket......
intercooler piping kit.......
srt stock downpipe.......45.00
vortec 6:1 fuel pressure regulator.......
AGP adjustable wastegate actuator......80.00

and since im gonna put the NOS on my car:

autometer nitrous pressure gauge......
NOS micro throttle switch......15.00

and since the boost gauge i got didnt have a few things i had to order them too.....
light socket/bulb......12.00
hose and fitting kit.......7.00

and within a few days i will have my port/polished intake manifold done...so that will add a little more fun...and the otherday i got an iceman intake for 30.00.....so thats 30.00 away from the turbo parts, but it was well worth it..

tomorrow afternoon im gonna take a trip to hahnracecraft and get the missing link and t fitting for the turbo oil lines...
and im not gonna worry about the boost controller for the time being because the guys on srtforums said that the only way to lower the stock PSI is to get a adjustable wastegate actuator...thats why i ordered the AGP....but i still want a boost controller, but its not a priority as of now......

pretty much all of the srt parts i got came from srtforums and they have been alot of help with any questions ive had

im gonna be getting so many packages in the mail and from ups in the next week or so that its gonna be insane

 

That is a great place to get used SRT stuff for real cheap! An Iceman for $30??? You won't be able to use that with the turbo though.
