Need the assistance of you knowledgeable SRT-4 owners. I recently bought a SRT-4 from a guy who bought it for his son. It was a theft recovery and the son didn't want it. It’s a 04 with 41, 000 miles. It didn't have interior and the power steering wasn't working. I had the power steering fixed and I found a guy on craigslist who was parting out a 00 Neon. So I took the interior from that and put it in my 04. Perfect fit.

Here's where I need your help. I don't think there is a BOV installed and it appears as if parts were removed prior to me buying it. Not sure if it was from the theft or the guy I bought it from took it off. I have a BOV and pipe and I need to know where to attach the hose from the BOV.

1. .There seems to be a pressure gauge hooked up to some lines that come from the turbo, into a T attached to the intake and then to a Turbonetics Evolution (<-- don’t know what this is) part that is attached to the turbo manifold in back of the engine. I tried color traced all the hose lines so that you can see how its setup. Hopefully you can understand it and you'll be able to help me out.

2. Green arrows show bolts topping off some lines. I don't know what the lines are and why they placed bolts there to top them off. The yellow arrow also has a bolt that tops off a line that is attached to the throttle body.

This is my first turbo and I'm not too familiar with the engine. I have an 02 R/T and a 97 SOHC coupe. I've always wanted a SRT-4 and didn't have the $$ to get one. I got this one for a deal.

Thanks in advance.

Turbonetics Evolution is the wastegate......sounds like you have an aftermarket turbo .... Photobucket is blocked at work so I'll have to take a look at your pics later.

 

wow.......um that's a mess in there lol

well there's no picture of the turbo so i have no idea what you've got in that respect. the turbonetics is a wga, which means that you probably have a turbonetics turbo kit on the car, but who knows.

the lines that you posted.....well they're just a disaster to be honest. i can't tell what the question is with the blue thing that you outlined. i can barely tell where it is on the car! lol

that line that has a screw in it coming off the tb.....that's your MAJOR vacuum source for the whole engine bay. i have no idea why they would plug that, but you need to unplug it and hook it back up. that gold thing seems to be some sort of home-made boost controller. kinda hard to tell. the gauge is probably a fuel pressure regulator, but i can't see the face of it in the picture

the lines that you're pointing to with the green arrows was the green line from the turbo. that's fine to be capped if it's running off the blue line. what's odd though is that there's a pretty big coolant line that should be in that picture, and well it's not there.

the bov that you posted looks like a fake ebay specialhks. no idea what that pipe is that it's mounted on, never quite seen a ic pipe like that......

there's a vacuum line wiring diagram on the inside of the hood. i would take a look at that and put the lines as they are in there for now. if you don't know what it is, take it off. basically go back to stock and work from there. or just take it to someone that knows what they're doing.

 

Thanks for the replies PSI and Burnout. Here is a link to a couple of pics of the turbo. From what I can see, it's a Garrett turbo? http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...9/CIMG1418.jpg

I took a better picture (I hope) of the brass T connector. The lines attached to the pressure gauge connect to the wastegate. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...9/CIMG1420.jpg

Where does the vacuum hose and the coolant line you are referring to hook up to? I also spent a good 35 minutes looking for a blue hose line. Couldn't find it. I also read on a post there is a pink line too. Couldn't find that one either.

The bov on the pipe says HKS. Inside the front of the bov, it says Super Sequential inside. Is HKS a cheap bov?

Unfortunately, the hood on my car is not the original. It used to have a cf hood and that was stolen. There is no wiring diagram under it. The trunk was also stolen and that was cf.

Forgot to mention, the intercooler has been upgraded too. It's a Spearco and it's HUGE.

 

man thats pretty ugly in there.. no offense. i would defenatly start from square one. mine is pretty much stock still since i cant spend any money on it right since all of it is going in the wedding. i can take pics if that helps any.

 

the best advice i can give at this point is probably going to be to rip everything out of the car and start from scratch. it's really a mess in there. i posted the service books a while back, see if you can find them. if not i'll see about getting them back up. those should tell you everything you need to know.

 

Thanks for your advice. I just googled and found the service manual for the SRT. I'll study it and hopefully I wont have to tear too much apart.

Since the turbo has been upgraded, what hose line would I use to connect to the bov? Is it one of the hoses on the tb?

 

You T directly off the throttle body to the bov.

 

yea but from looking at the pictures the line that you t off of isn't even there

 

There is that brass T on the tb. Can I tap into that? Any chance someone can send me a pic of the line on the tb I need to use? I found a drawing on the service manual but can't tell which line to use.
