: gettin out of the sr20 game
trbob13 03-28-2009, 01:15 AM for the longest time, ive gone into spurts where i only look for specific cars. first, it was dsm's. that was a big mistake where i bought a 1990 plymouth laser fwd turbo 5speed. built that up a little and went out street racing and i blew the motor up due to a BIG boost spike. then i got a 1991 eclipse gsx 5speed. only had that 1 month and the motor threw a bearing. i took that as a sign and moved on to a new brand. i bought a 91 se-r that i boosted with an avenir motor and it was a fun car but i had money issues so i had to sell it. saved up a little a bought a 98 se-r that i put a little bit of money in a realized how much of a waste of time it was to put money in. i know a couple of guys around my way that did some srt4 swaps on a first gen neon a it was a reliable car that was in the 12's with half the money of my se-r. so thats the route ive taken this time. i know there not the greatest pics, but i will add more when its clean and nice out. im also getting it dynoed, so i will post a video of that too.

TheRealNightHog 03-28-2009, 01:30 AM Pretty cool. Its a shame that they made those cars look like hotdogs....

bahahahahahahaha..
engine bay pics are a must
sr20declassic 03-28-2009, 10:44 AM I'm a big 1g neon fan. I've had like 4. Parts for them are cheaper than any other car out there. It's ridiculous.
You will easily get 12's. Some choice mods and you got 11's no problem. Shit stock SRT4's running only a 100 shot on slicks hit 11's. Nice project. Only thing I don't like is that its red. That's just me.
kaotekxe 03-28-2009, 02:22 PM i always wonderd about a swap like that.. how difficult was it? my mom had a 4dr 1g and i lowerd it.. i blew the tranny with neutral drops all the time.. it was a pita to work on with the intake mani in the front
morgans432 03-28-2009, 03:32 PM I dislike neons and especially the srt4 pieces of crap but to each his own.
Nx2k GTi-R 03-28-2009, 04:18 PM it sounds like it be a sleeper..
also another idea.. ive seen a video of a saturn ( like the one behind the hotdog) with a built sr20VE in it.. both cars would be a nice sleeper project..
me myself saw a post of a jamacian or P.rican dude turning his 88 (sentra?) 4 door to a 93 AWD pulsar... .. that would be my project... I DREAM OF ALL FOUR WHEELS SPINNING POWERED BY A BOOSTED SR20..

as far as the swap is concerned, its not super hard. the most difficult thing is the wiring. and beyond that, its just a bunch of money and time.

How do the trannies hold up to the power?
sr20declassic 03-29-2009, 10:52 PM Hes likely using the stock SRT4 transmission and they hold up decent. Better than b13 trannys.
trbob13 03-30-2009, 02:19 AM How do the trannies hold up to the power?
its the stock sohc tranny with an obx lsd. they are basiclly the same tranny other than the gearing. the srt has 3.50, the sohc has 3.55 and the dohc has 3.94
antser 03-30-2009, 07:21 PM is that another red srt4 in the garage? 2 of my boys have'm. they def move. g/l with it
nismo94tuner 03-30-2009, 09:52 PM Thats pretty sleeper dude. I'm a little surprised it was cheaper than building your 98 se-r. How much, if you don't mind me asking, did this run you to do the swap? I wanna see that dyno. Only thing I don't like so much is not revving out. I know the SRT4's move out though. Got a kid in my area making 350+whp on the stock turbo upgrade. Stage 3 or something?:melonscratcher:

thats a friends 50 trim srt4 that gets up pretty good.

the build is about on average, 3000 to 3500, but thats running and driving. if u dont already have the car, add the price of the car. mine was 3700 including car. thats with perrin piping, exhuast, agp wastegate and all the other odds and ends.
