the stock 2.4T isnt that different; it has larger oil runners and lower compression pistons, as well as ports for turbo oil on it. People boost this motor that I have all the time; it is a popular Neon swap, and since it's a 420a, the manifolds are easy to come by. The conrods in it are junk though, in both the turbo and NA motors. I will be upgrading the internals with eagle rods and weisco pistons when I decide to go past 9psi of boost. Even stock srt4 ones can't handle much more than 14 psi or so, especially if there is an accidental detonation when tuning.

don't srt4's run like 15psi stock?

yeah I think they can see 16psi, but they're still weak when detonation happens.

Crazy man. Looks like you have some serious fundage.

Did you do all of the interior work yourself?

it's a 0.48 stage 1 turbine What are your power goals ?

BLAAST

WOW! this car would not remain that white and clean for too long with me in it!

is that a 0.48 stage 1 turbine if so, it's a super good match with the 40 trim T04E!
it's a hell of a little hybrid turbo but you will be under 300 BHP. For sure... is that sufficient for you?

I am considering a .63 A/R exhaust turbine housing... Yes it is a .48 right now.

300 BHP is plenty for now though...you should see this in your shop as soon as i get my tax return in Guill!

Thanks for the compliment! One of the few non-haters to post! Yeah I did it all myself. I'm studying Mechanical Engineering at Kettering University, and they have a co-op program that is mandatory for students to work 6 months of the year...so I get a lot of good cash that I can spend on the car and have a lot of friends up here who like doing this kind of stuff too that can lend a hand when wrenching.
