an aftermarket for the SRT-4? I know the obvious answer but will we be able to easily find parts like the imports?

 

[lifeisdeath]

well they have many parts for the focus, cavalier :roll:, and the neon. i am positive that there will be many people making stuff for the srt-4.

 

[bluestrat]

I think I read somewhere on the Dodge site that they already have some aftermarket parts made.

just remember that it comes with a mitsubishi 16G turbo...very easy to upgrade

Yeah, I'm a DSMer right now, and since it comes with a 16g that means that a 20 or 25G will bolt directly to the mani, provided it fits between the firewall.... I am seeing, 300hp on the stock motor, and turbo, and up to 400 with minimal mods in my crystal ball. Hell, if I have to I will pitch a tent outside my local dealer to get one of these cars. :twisted:

 

[lifeisdeath]

they said that it will handle 500 whp with stock internals, since everything is forged and heavy duty. oil squirters on the pistons is nice too. add an aftermarket oil cooler.....mmmmmm... can not wait for this car.

chrysler has 3 upgrade stages available for the srt-4 and the third one will give you 300hp and 300lbs of torque.

Where did you get this info from? I'd like to read up on it.

In this case it won't be all that easy to upgrade since the exhaust manifold, turbo, BOV, and wastegate are basically all one piece. It won't be long before the aftermarket has a different exhaust manifold, so maybe I guess it will be relatively easy, but quite pricey.

pricing of MOPAR upgrades

Has anyone seen price points for the 3 stages of the upgrades that MOPAR is offering?

Can a person order stage 3 kit and install it themselves? Would the company require proof that you are going to be racing it?

 

[lifeisdeath]

the dealer will have to install them, they need to play with the ecu.

Hmm... Catch 22.

Stage 3 not legal for street."Racing use only." So you buy it, they install it and then some of your warranty goes away because they don't cover "racing" uses. Bummer.


Well stage 2 sounds fine as a fallback I suppose.

 

[lifeisdeath]

none of the stages are covered under warranty. so play at your own risk. i doubt you will have any problems, but you never know. first year vehicle.

 

[compsci1]

not covered!

OOh ultra bummer! I don't know where I got the impression that the stage 1 and 2 would be covered by Dodge or MOPAR warranty.

Well maybe I'll wait to install the upgrades after the powertrain warranty is over.

Get to be good buddies with your local DC dealership's
service manager. Some dealerships have been known
to still service modified cars under warranty -- probably
assuming that they are not too modified.

 

[lifeisdeath]

i wouldnt wait until the powertrain warranty is up. its 7/70000. :lol:

 

[daytonagts]

Puting performance stuff on your car doesn't in itself void your warranty. The perfomance part causing something to break voids your warranty on that thing that breaks. BTW I was told that the turbo isn't considerd part of the Powertrain so it won't be coverd, anyone else here that from thier dealer also?
