Couldn't be too much differnet from a Honda. ;) I'm sure they sell kits for them so a manifold shouldn't be hard to come by. I'm not sure if anybody here has a turbo Neon???? ???

Re:new here...need some help
 
yea i believe the most common is by hahn racecraft (www.modernperformance.com)...but i dont know if i can pick up the manifold stand alone...im new to turbos..i know what they do and somewhat how they work and for the past hour ive been studying up...i want to make a killer setup thatll blow away some ricers around my area...

Re:new here...need some help
 
just the basic layout of a turbo system...like the inlets and outlets...lol not to change the subject or anything i had a dream last night that i put a t4 on my neon and the fins got all bent and it wasnt pushing air anymore...anyways..any links or ---- that u could supply me with would be greatly appreciated...im lookin for a small setup...fast spool up times with good top end power...i cant run tons of boost tho because the motor is gettin tired....

Re:new here...need some help
 
I also got a neon :PTHEY SUCK!!!

The engine is small as fock!

Re:new here...need some help
 
Hey, I know you said it was a dream and all, but a T4 would be too big for your neon. Especially since your looking for a small setup and a quick spool. What motor does your neon have? (sorry, I'm not a dodge guy).

mx524 05-08-2003 08:37 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
lol i know it was toooooo ------- big so i was like what the ---- in the dream....anyways....sohc 2.0 with about 101,000 miles on it...new head gasket (neons are prone to head gasket problems) somewhat new timing belt...all new belts and pulleys...minor weight redux...iceman cai....2.5 inch back to a obx bomber, 4 inch outlet....ar 16" with cooper cobras....2 rockford fosgate punch subs...custom short throw shifter...some neons and stobes...here damnit ill just post a pic...by the end of the month it will have a cf hood with a reverse vent (modernperformance.com) and a ed blits type front bumper...and the rims are getting powder coated white to match the graphics....

i can get you the turbo that the hahn kit come with real cheap from my friend....its a special super 16g that has a t3 flange...is your neon dohc?

mx524 05-08-2003 08:44 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
sohc....can u get one for a single or just for the dohc...what are some prices??

turboboy 05-08-2003 08:49 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
the turbo doesnt matter for the sohc or dohc...it the manifold...i think he said 400 for the turbo...its 650 from hahn i think and this one only has 1,000 miles on it

mx524 05-08-2003 08:51 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
so 400 for the turbo....what bout the manifold....does he have an ic???

turboboy 05-08-2003 08:56 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
he's using the manifold (its different for your car anyway)..he just upgraded to a bigger (20g) turbo...as for an ic...i have a big core im about to cut down into smaller ones(need to get endtanks made) and my friend has one of tyrus' ic's that has a little dent in it froma possum...om me so we dont keep posting here

man... if your saying you wanna beat on ricers in your area i guess you consider yourself not a ricer. I would hate to see what the ricers cars look like if yours looks like that.
no offense or anything ;D

ZexRex 05-08-2003 10:26 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
nice altezzas and fart pipe pimpin, anyway ya you can turbo a neon buy you will have to take those taillights and tail pipe off. otherwise your bypass valve wont open and your engine will blow from over boosting.

mx524 05-08-2003 10:44 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
lol nice nice...nice try bro...i better add some blinker fluid too so the muffler bearings dont overheat 8)

Doesnt your engine share the same platform as the eclipse engine? I could have sworn it does. If so you could just hit up a dsm setup and it wont cost you an arm and a leg. I'm pretty sure your engine is in the same family as the eclipse though.

turboboy 05-09-2003 12:04 AM

Re:new here...need some help
 
nope....neon dohc's have the same motor as non-turbo second gen eclipses

Re:new here...need some help
 
I have a video of a street Neoen running low 10's. I'll try to post it later. They can be just as fast as anything. I have heard those blocks are bulletproof.

yea....problems with long term top end reliability tho....especially the damn head gasket...mine motor is starting to get tired and my friend nate has a 98 dohc rt 2.0 motor if i need one...do u think with about 101 k on it the turbo would be nonsense??? im guessing i would not be able to run tons of boost

I put my turbo on at 100,000 miles. I can't blow it up. It just takes whatever I give it. :-*HONDA :-*

hell yea...tell me where he gets the manifold made at and how much...thats the only thing holding me up right now...medrow ur car makes like 150 atw and with a good turbo setup it would easily put u over 200, about 230 or 240 with an ic

Hey where can i get a good intercooler and which one do you think...What would happen is i put in an iceman intake ... Nolan can you get me some altezzas like yours by your house i cant find any down here... nolan your car still is the fatest ride in west bend next to keith's...

Dr.Boost 05-11-2003 05:20 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
:-X This thread is complete bullshit. >:( What the ---- is an iceman intake going to do you with an intercooler? I hope you are talking about putting an intercooler on a BOOSTED car. It is boosted, right? I won't even go into the whole al-cheeza deal ::)

I smell a troll >:(

I was talking about an iceman cold air intake system... I dont have a boosted car yet i wanna get a turbo in my car though... I'm not a troll.. What kind of lights should i get for my car besides altezzas.... ???

Dr.Boost 05-11-2003 11:21 PM

Re:new here...need some help
 
If you are planning on puting a turbo on your car don't waist your money on an intake. An intake is about $200 which could be a big chunk of your turbo kit. You could take that $200 and buy a manifold.

As for the tails, I don't know what is available for Neons, but Honda has several different options besides al-cheezas. Why not just keep your stock tails and put that money towards the turbo? I'm not trying to tell you where to spend your money, but its just not practical to buy a CAI when you are planning on buying a turbo.
