My engine is just fine but adding a turbo would be alot harder on her engine dont your think darth and with a stage3 seeing thats what the acr came with.

 

Anything that adds more power will create more stress on an engine. A bad tune will make it worse and a good tune will actually be able to lessen it, but both in a different way. The SRT engine is a completely different thing than the 2.0L though. The SRT engine is made with stronger parts to handle said power.

You like Mustangs...what can handle more power: the 4.6L 2V or a 4.6L 4V? The 2V has "standard" parts whereas the 4V has forged parts. The 2V can handle up to about 450HP at the crank; the 4V is in the 600HP, maybe 700HP range, IIRC. Same thing with the 2.0L 2V and the 2.4L 4V.

 

Maybe doing the tranny swap also might help out seeing I would love to have a srt stick instead of my sxt auto I have in her now. Might be stonger to handle the turbo swap.

 

Dodge/Chrysler just can't build a decent auto (anymore, perhaps). You can't really go wrong with a manual in a performance street car. They will handle more power.

The best route I know of with an SRT swap is to get a PT Cruiser GT transmission, if you want an auto. It's an auto built to be mated to the same turbo 2.4L. One could just go for the PT GT engine/trans combo if they could find it.

 

Yeah where I got both acrs they also have a few turbo cruisers so I think I will sell the acr and do the cruiser swap into my auto sounds like a cooler and more unique approach to doing a turbo swap seeing not many do the cruiser swap than the srt swap. THanks darth for giving me that idea. I would love to stay with a stonger auto turbo .

 

Since the Neon and PT are both "PL" platforms, everything should bolt in just the same.

 

I heard the pt turbos are alot easier to do than the srt4s and looks like the cruiser is as much as I paid for the acr . I just sold the acr so I can go buy the cruiser this weekend.
