neon nose clip swap
#11
another thing are these heads on these motors worth working?i want something for street driving but i want some power for when i want to play around.having the computer chipped does that even do anything for it...a kid i knows swears by chipping the cpu but just want a couple more opinions.i got the car for next to nothing so not to afraid of throwin some money at it...so far what i have that im puttin on it this weekend are headers, 2.25 cat back exhaust.gonna run stock cat i think.throwin a freshly rebuilt head on it and gonna run mobil 1 full synthetic oil..this damn thing at an idle sounds like a non turbo diesel vw.lol..whats everyone else gettin for fuel mileage one of this..the best im getting right now is 25 thats mixed city and highway.

Working the heads...for what? If you aren't doing anything else worthwhile, then IMO, no.
Chipping the ECU won't do a whole lot of anything. showsxt will reply and say this is wrong and that some people she knows from online did it and it worked great. I have still yet to be shown any sort of actual, physical, credible proof to make me believe chips do anything positive on Neons.
The stock exhaust is already 2.25", so you're simply going to be replacing exhaust tubing.

Yeah cause your always putting down intakes and exhausts and so on cause your neon is stock. I have an intake and a borla exhaust and other engine mods. Least I have what everyone is askin about seeing you dont. So I can add my op seeing I have almost everything that there askin about.

You don't know what I have done to my car, just like the whole thing about me having had ATX transmission problems twice and you assuming I was running an MTX, because I don't feel the need to tell every single person who asks a question what I have done to my car.
I have more experience than you with performance. Save yourself, and me, the trouble.
Ahh, yes. ECU chipping...
Now the part about the exhaust:
A lot, actually. I was simply telling him that he was replacing the factory exhaust tubing with new tubing that was the same size. What this had to do with what I was talking about? Nothing, as usual.
I'm going to jump ahead of myself and say the reply to this is going to be one for the record books...

Yeah I never said I like jet chips never had one in any of my neons . I just know some that have the jet chips in theres. Never heard of any other kind but jet if anyone wanted to try a chip in there neon. Its whatever they want to do not what you or I say to do. I actually had a 1st gen neon with a hahn turbo stage 2 kit and some other turbo rides so I know more about perfomance than you think I do maybe not more than you .Im more into show mods so might know more than you in that department. If you have other engine mods a intake comes in handy is what Im saying not by itself for hp.

Mods you can do if you want a more power, 60m throttle body, intake manifold, cam and head, header, under drive pulley and overdrive pulley and nice intake of somekind and exhaust and mega squirt or just got turbo with supporting mods. I have most of the above but mega squirt but soon to go turbo in the spring.

If you want to mod engine wise than do it and I know of chips in some that like them and worked for them but me myself never used them in a neon. If you wanna try a chip the jets are like 100 to 300 bucks on ebay. You can tell darth and anyone else how it worked for you. To darth I never recommend stuff unless I have used whatever myself. I just tell them to do what they want and not what we tell them its there neon so they can do whatever they please.
