Default ???Intake Manifold Swap, Turbo, Body Kit???

1.I have a 98 neon r/t. I was wondering if there are any intake manifolds that i can swap on to see some decent gains.

2. My buddy wants to know if you can put a dohc intake manifold on a sohc. He hates plastic and wants his plastic one gone.

3. I want to go turbo. I can't afford a Hahn turbo, any other suggestions? I would LOVE to do the srt-4 swap but i can't find any engines in my area. Perhaps a cruiser 2.4...? I wouldn't mind going turbo on my 2.0, it would be cheaper for me, but i wont have as much potential. LMK

4. Is any body selling a full body kit for a 2dr. I do not want a blitz or evo style. Also my budy wants a rear bumper cover.

Thanks!

You can port and polish the one you have or get an INDY intake manifold (PITA to install though).

Won't fit, but there is a SOHC aluminum intake manifold (they are rare though). The plastic one is lighter than the aluminum one and is already smoothed out on the inside for optimal flow.

Do the SRT-4 turbo setup like spudsterier did.

thats exactly the route im going, after i do the dohc head swap...u can go to the srt4 section of the forum and see if anyone is selling a stock turbo manifold. they bold right up to the dohc heads. im guessing after buying the turbo manifold, intercooler, misc. lines, piping, and fuel upgrades, you'll probably spend 1000-1500 for everything. good luck to ya if you decide to go that route

the stage 2 hahn turbo kit limits the available power and is really only good for 8-10psi..
the srt turbo can run up to about 20-25psi..

just on the parts needed for the turbo, i spent about $900....hahn is 2500....thats a hell of a difference

in 2 weeks i should have a stage 2 hahn kit for sale....i would like to get about 1500 when the time comes

i can get my hands on an aluminum sohc intake manifold.....if the place still has it[&:]
i think im gonna check and if they do im gonna grab it
