RE: 1st gen SRT swap how to; using ngc and the nv-t350
 

Hey I'm new here and I'm looking at swapping my 1st gen 2.0 for an SRT-4 and had some additional questions. I've found a motor for $1550 and know I'm going to need a PCU and possibly the harnesses. Can you tell me how much money went into the conversion for yours. Also if you could tell me about how much time it took you to do. Thanks.

Here we go. Cooked the powertrain bad last summer in my 98 R/T (blown head gasket, rear main gasket and clutch gone for sure). Currently has 140000Miles on her. Redid the suspension and steering last summer and paid no attention to the rest cause I was dreaming of doing this swap.

Just got a written off SRT4 with a good running engine. Guy didn't tell me the condition of the rest of the car, I don't really wanna know, he's just sending me the dash forward. 7000 Miles on her for under 6k canadian. I figure it's an ok deal since my 98 r/t is still in decent structural condition.

Got a shop full of knowledgable mechanics to help me out. Just looking for any more info other than this great guide for further research. Hoping to do this swap in under 8hrs and have it filmed and eventually linked for anyone who wants to do this in the future.

Has anybody added the stage II or III mopar kit to the 1st gen 2dr? All I know is that it's gonna be lots of fun finding out.

Once again, any usefull reading material would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.

Best Turbo and mods??
 

Hey everyone.
My name is Jake and im new to this site. I have a 97 Neon 2 door, 120,000 miles, New exhaust, Lambo doors, 18" wheels, lowered 2", headers, custom interior, Automatic. I was wondering if there was anyway i could put a turbo on the stock motor with this many miles. I dont know if it would be safe, or if I should get a new motor with less miles. Also, would I have to upgrade the tranny too? I had my friend bet me that his GTP with a couple mods, would beat my neon. So i need mods that wont take forever, but just some little things for cheap that I can do. I am upgrading the sparkplugs, and the intake. I dont know what else to do... help?

Thanks
