how much boost can i run with a stock 2.0 neon block with out having problems?

 

that would depend on your internals. Some people are lucky and can push upwards of 20 lbs of boost on the stock internals. Others blow with minimal boost on their stock internals. Personally, I'd do a bottom end upgrade from Howell Automotive before I started into the turbo territory. Also, unless your motor is brand new, I would consider getting it ported and polished.

 

boost does not brake your neon torgue does and our stock internals can handle around 250l/b then you start breaking rods

 

You show me any motor running 250 Lbs of boost!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can run 7-8 Lbs on stock internals. The bottom end will handle 275-300 HP stock depending on where the HP is comming from, NA all day, turbo most days and NOS depends on where in the RPM curve you hit the "button" Bottom line no more than 10 Lbs of boost on stock, 7-8 is safe. It will wear the motor quicker, but I have seen it hold together on a motor with 160,000 for 30,000 miles till it blew.

 

i think he meant 250 pounds of torque, not boost. Could the stock internals of an R/T handle more boost than an SE or SXT?

 

yep meant torgue. bottum end wise we all have the same internalls exept in the 03+ the base models (se/sxt) have lower compresion pistons which are better for boost but they also can handle 250 l/b of torgue if tuned right. Without some sort of ignition timing (msd) the r/t can't handle that much boost because it has more advanced timing than the base models. Without some timing retart youl start too detonate if you wanna run higher boost
