Just got a SRT-4 and im in the process of fixing it. I like peoples input on what I got here and what would you change, what you like, and what you don't like. Can't figure out what the html tag is to each pictures or it might be disabled on the forum..not sure. And Pix upload does not upload anything for me...ohh well here is a direct link to the pix.
Well what i seem to have is a 04 silver with OCC, Stage 1 Kit, AEM cold intake, AGP wastegate, mopar POW. Theexhaust sounds nice, maybe a little too loud for the neighbors. Might have to change that later.
Anyway my name is Mike.

congrats on the car. i'm confused though as to what the question is?

 

Well yeah I can see that...being confusing. Well I don't know what the previous owner did to the car. So Im asking what would you change if you had this car.
Should I just keep as it for now and not worry about it. I guess that's what I wanted to ask.

 

i wouldn't change anything until you know the car is running right.

btw - what's a mopar pow?

 

 

Damn man, where do you live? Must be next to the beach!

I would zip tie the positive terminal cover down on the battery before it rubs a hole through the pad on your intake and arks.

Also, not sure what's up with your vaccuum lines, but you might want to go over those and make sure all is good, They just don't look right. There is a diagram on the hood you can use as reference...

Other than that, looks fine from what i can see. how does it run?

 

Your 04 must have been made in 03. You have 03 caps, the yellow powersteering cap is evidence of that. You also have the 03/early 04 sparkplug wires. Get some new ones, the 4th one looks a bit white near the boot (too much heat from the turbo). If you check your build date and find it was made in 03, you also have 03 axles, which are weaker than the 04/05s. By Mopar POW I'm assuming you mean the BOV or Blow Off valve, if thats what you mean then yes you have it lol. Not sure what a POW (other than a Prisoner of War) is otherwise. [/align][/align]Are your intercooler pipes stock? In the picture of the PCM I see a blue coupler underneath the PCM indicating an aftermarket pipe of sorts. The vacuum lines do look hacked, one of them doesn't even go anywhere, it just stops. o.O Check that out. [/align][/align]What would I change/do? [/align]1. Un-do your battery tie down and push the battery as far to the driver's side as possible. Then make sure that the rubber cap on the positive terminal stays on at all times. [/align]2. Check the bracket that mounts to the battery tie down tray on the intake. If this is too tight, the bracket will snap right off the intake (common problem with AEM SRIs, which is why alot of people stopped using them). It happened to mine.[/align]3. Change your spark plugs and wires. Granatelli Wires and NGK 4306s [/align]4. Fix your vacuum lines, sort them out and figure out what you have going on there. They go every which way and they shouldn't.[/align]5. Based on mileage change your transmission fluid, most people don't ever do this or know they need to. It won't hurt to do it. Mopar ATF+4 and Friction Modifier[/align][/align]When you're done...clean the engine bay, its dirty. [/align]
