Why when they re-did the neon ( made the 2nd generation ) think that this was the thik to leave the same?

Hey it would not be that bad if they did not make the computer so f*cked up!!! The same block is in other cars (mitsubishi) and makes some nice Numbers........ But our computer suxs AS*!!!!

 

with the proper piggy the comp is not a prob

 

From what I gather MS (megasquirt) is the answer to all are ecu problems.

 

Megasquirt?

 

That and some weight reduction. 2nd gens are heavier then 1Gs.

 

i belive that, i have driven a 1st gen 5 speed four door and it felt a bit less bogged down.

 

wat is a megasquirt?

 

Standalone ecu

 

Its an open source fuel and spark controller that your program to whatever specifications you see fit. It can also control anything from nitrous to boost control...

As to the original post, the reason they kept the engine mostly the same is because it wouldnt have been cost effective to place a totally different engine in the Neon when they were already developing the "World Engine" series of motors for the next generation of DCx vehicles.
