No, no, not an SRT-4 engine swap, I mean the turbo/manifold on a 420a!

A little food for thought to get the gears turning:
PT Cruiser NA head ~$250 (used), it'll bolt right up to the 420a block.
SRT turbo/BOV/manifold/wastegate ~$500 (new, so I'm told) it'll bolt right up to the PT head, so I'm told.

Add in your choice of intercooler, fuel system......

Anybody else thought of this?
:twisted:

$500 for a new turbo/bov/manifold/wastegate? i would have to see that to believe it.

SRT/GT Turbo/manifold P/N: 4884234AC
Suggested retail: $559.30
Forum Dodge price: $378.35 http://neons.org/forumdodge/

If that number is right any Dodge dealer should be able to look it up and order the part. I am not 100% sure if that price includes the wastegate and BOV.

 

[lifeisdeath]

where did you get the part number? cause it isnt on the link that you gave.

 

[Kyle]

I got the part number from another forum (the forced induction forum on neons.org)
http://www.neons.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=72027
http://www.neons.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=71769
I listed the Forum Dodge website because they quoted someone the price of $378.35, which is the cheapest price quote I have heard. I have heard quotes of $400-460 from other Neon dealers.

If you follow the second neons.org link I listed above you will see that Bob Stockum ( www.bstockum.com ) also confirmed that both the wastegate, and BOV are included under that part number.

i called the dodge dealer around here and the manifold will be $583. but i dont know about turbo too.

 

[Kyle]

Correct, it is listed in the parts computer as the exhaust manifold, but as we all know the turbo/manifold is basically one piece.

It should work out. But remember, a stock setup will probly blow the rods on a stock block. The srt has stronger pistons and rods. In the supra forums, there is a guy there who use to work for hahn racecraft. He said that after 14psi the rods would give. 15psi is stock on the srt4(in cold weather that is).

I dunno about hybrid 420A's but how about turbocharged 2.2/2.5L DOHC Neon head Hybrids?

On the second link check out the very last car. Its a 2.5L block with the DOHC neon head, pumping out 498ft-lbs at 2600rpm on 16psi as if FWD wasn't enough of a traction problem :shock:

Heck I wouldn't run 10psi on the stock Neon rods, they suck! General consesus is that stock Neon rods are suspect at around 200hp at the wheels (with a ~8000rpm rev limit, common on a turbo car).
