i was wondering if a srt4 fmic would fit on my 2000 neon. and if it is possible to run a aftermarket fmic and it fit too. thanks cleveman

 

im assume your going turbo??? yes the fmic will fit, but it may require a bit of 'fitting' on a 00 bumper

 

yea im going turbo lol im not ricing it ... what do you mean about the fitting just trimming the bumber off and stuff like that?

 

no you have to cut away some of the radiator support to make it fit. do not cut the bumper

 

I'm still lost at why you guys on here say to get a stock fmic from a srt-4 instead of like a SPEARCO monster intercooler for our 2nd gens....can anybody explain it to me nicely...im not knocking anybody just really dont understand why...i've heard bigger is always better b/c it will cool and condense more air...makes sense to me...

 

if you plan on putting a body kit (different front) on it, then a larger fmic wouldnt be a bad idea. but given the design of the 00-02 front bumper, the opening in the bottom is pretty much the size of the stock srt fmic. really wouldnt be a whole lot of piont in putting a huge fmic on there when half of its flow would be blocked by the bumper. although there are direc-fit fmics out there for the SRT that arent much larger but have better flow.

and the fittment issue spikey is correct... i could throw an 02 bumper on my srt and fit perfectly. but its not quite as easy as that the other way around. youll have to do a small amount of cutting to get it to all fit in there, but nothing too major.

 

Oh yeah my bad...i have a 2004

 

bigger is NOT always better with a FMIC. The SRT-4 intercooler is under-rated. When Dodge did all thier testing with the stage 3 kit, it was all done with the stock intercooler. Meaning its good for at least 350whp.

Too big of an intercooler will result in pressure drop...

if you have a huge intercooler, you will have lot of turbo lag. like graphite said the srock is fine, if you really want cooler air then get some kind of ic sprayer
