well in late august i plan on going crazy wit my car. im debating on going turbo and get da hahn racecraft turbo or srt swap. money isnt a factor i will have a 7 k budget and i cant decide. da turbo would b quicker to do because i wont have to look for it but i wont b able to go higher dan 7 psi stock. well i would have to rebuild my top and bottom end to run a higher psi. if i do da srt swap, i would just have to find a engine and just drop it in wit tranny and wires but da only problem is finding one near me. it would seem to me dat doing da swap would b easier but da only problem is finding one close. i already looked around local junk yards and most of them said dat dey hardly get any srt's and i dont want to waste time looking for one in august and just turbo it right away. i cant decide and i want to know wat would u guys do in my situation? but i am leaning into da swap so just let me know wat u guys would do. thanx really appreciate.
ps. da reason why im thinking about dis now is becuz i dont want to deal wit it later, da sooner da better, but its just 2 months away. thanx in advance

I'd do the swap b/c it's cheaper. I've put a lot of money into my car and I still don't have the power of an SRT-4. I kinda feel like I should have done a swap to begin with. The only way I'd do a swap is if the engine is in my area and I could have a mechanic inspect the engine for me. It's hard to find a good SRT-4 engine that's not beat up though.
Do u plan on doing the labor?

 

I love my hahn stage2 kit in my 1st gen and if I was going turbo in my 04 sxt I would go hahn all the way its all new and its do hard to find a decent srt4 engine and tranny . I was thinkin about swapping a pt cruiser turbo into my sxt same as the srt4 turboand most are well takin care of .

 

About how much power do u want to have?

 

yea i plan on doing most of da labor, da only thing is wiring, my street crew is going to help me wit da swap. lol

 

i know is going to drain your pocket but try it out she how it feels and pulls and mean while start turbing you stock engine..

 

if i do da swap ima try and get as much as i can get out of it.

 

just make sure all the tweak are up to date dunt want the motor to be spiting out..

 

yea i kno

 

when i had my civic , i did the b18 swap it was crazie tweakin up ,took almost a day and testing it out at walmart parking lot lol
