just wondering if it would be worth the time and money...... i have a 2004 dodge neon sxt i want to get it alot faster.... i am having a hrad time finding turbos and such...... i was just thinking after seeing a srt-4 engine on ebay for 2000$ if it would be worth it buying that and replacing my engine with this........ the engine came with everything except a cooling unit... it had the tranny and all... and i know if i did this my sxt would be very fast because the sxt is lighter than the srt-4 and i would put on a new exhaust... but like i said is the work and cost going to be worth it in the end???

thanks,
nate

 

Depends on you...

Guy I worked with did one and from what I heard he had all kinds of minor problems that delayed final running plus ended with a HACKED UP wiring harness. You will need to get a new harness and computer as well. Engine/Trans will grow in weight so you may not gain as much as you'd expect but with time as a prerequisite you can do it.

A final thought though if you have emissions testing you'd still get tested by standard 4 Cyl.

 

I would think it would be easier to just get the turbo.

 

any one know a place to find good turbo's for a 2004 SXT??? been looking and i havent found any yet

 

I assume you have gone to google... ebay..

Look for what Chill Factory may have?

 

thanks alot they have some for my neon.... that would be alot easier your right..
thanks again man

nate

 

I would be sceptical of a motor and trans for $2000. That is very cheap, especialy with the trans.

 

ya well thanks to lone wolf i found a turbo for my littel sxt and will prob be buying it in the next few months and putting it on.... be one of my first upgrades to the car

 

MWAHAHAHA

Im so the shiz.

 

Why? Actually an engine and trans for $2K is a bit expensive especially if its used. YOu can buy an R/T engine for about $800 from a junkyard.

Anyway, I'd look at Hahns Racecraft and Chill Factory for turbos.
