It's easier to get a srt4 donor car as in a wreck srt4 for cheap. Or you could go to srt-4store.com and they do the swap for you in a weekend in pa. for about 6,000 which is cheaper than buying an actual srt4.

Well I kind of figured that it wasnt going to be easy. But it would be cheaper to do the swap than actually getting an SRT-4 or building the 02 engine.

yet again it would be cheaper to do the srt-4 swap then to upgrade the 2.0 engine. then again some might argue that its worth upgrading some might not. theres this guy on 2gn.org that sells a custom turbo kit auto or manual and he says with his kit you can get up to 300 horses. but if u wanna push ur 2.0 that much its up to you. then again his kit cost like $3500 something around there. let me know if u want the full details and ill give a link to you.
