Oh, you can put a turbo on your car, you just can't crank up the psi very much. Still, Can we at least all agree that ANYTHING that you get over stock HP is a good thing, even if it's just a few HP.

 

I will agree with this post except the psi part, since i ran 10psi daily and hit 15psi quite a few times. the bottom end is not limited to psi. A lot of people think that, but it is the furthest from the truth. The bottom end is limited to power out-put only. 8 psi on a TD04 is alot different than 8psi on a GT35r.

Think of it tis way... 10psi in a mountain bike tire and 10psi in a 18 wheeler tire. Same psi, but alot more more air to make that psi in the truck tire. Same with turbo's... bigger turbo flows more air. Basic internal combustion knowledge will tell you that the more air and fuel equals more power.

 

so with your set-up, one would be fine in an auto transmission neon? or would you really have to "baby" the throttle and not be able to go to the strip every so often. i understand that the engine can handle it but what about the transmission, im sure that many of us here have ATX and would some time down the line like to turbo the car. i personally dont think i will do it any time soon, but i do want to do it and would like to learn more about this.... the reason i like your set up is because you didnt run MS or anything

 

Do they make shift kits for a Neon ATX? I'd think that would help. Also, if you can get heavy duty clutch kits and bands for the ATX that would also help. I know with the T350 trans and Power Glides(Chevy auto trans) you can get heavy duty internals to really beef em' up. You might check to see if they make anything like that for a Dodge ATX.

 

quick answer: no

see my post(s) in this thread: https://dodgeforum.com/m_1033559/tm.htm

 

was that answering my question or the question above you?

 

well, that link will answer both questions but it was directed toward you.

yes, they make shift kits... no, your stock tranny won't hold

 

I read that link and learned alot.

 

And now ya' know why I LOVE manual transmissions.

 

and its official, no turbo for this guy
