Its a 95 neon with a fuilly built motor, all forged internals, pullies, chipped ecu, intake, exhaust, cam, cam gear, 1mm oversized valves, titanium valve springs.... not bad for 600 bucks

no boost gauge = no good. how long did it run before it blew? hod did it feel?

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

it was about an hour into it be4 it blew, it felt very nice, doing 3rd gear rolls from 70 and busting the tires loose felt so nice

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

---- it, boost the neon.

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

Boost gauges are nice to have but its only a d. Im sure you can pick up a couple in your area for damn near nothin.

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

i have the guage i just got impatient and didnt wait cause i left it in my cousins car. Im getting my block today for doing a mpfi swap

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

lol the hoopty timing belt is off. look at the picture from the left side.. :P

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

didnt some guy on here have a turbo neon w/ that exact colour and the turbo was poppin out the hood near the windshield?

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

hmm it does look familiar..........that air intake pipe really rings a bell

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

way to go beaner!

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

whats the compression of that neon engine?

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

is it stolen?
^-^

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

its a bright green neon ^_^

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

That neon is the ACR model, no? My buddy had one and its not a bad little car.

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

neo nitro green neon. ---- thats ugly

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

nice job man.

the neon deal seems solid. 600 bucks, can't go too wrong. at least it's already primered.

I drove my car for a long time with no boost gauge, I even went for one rip around the hood with the wastegate vacuum line disconected because I accidentaly pulled the hose off. I have anough blow by that it doesn't really matter what boost I run. I finally went for a little drive with the good boost gauge today, and I didn't get more than 4 psi in 2nd, it was closer to 3 psi. and a few days ago I was hitting 6psi just revving it to launch control to see if the gauge worked.

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

that would f*(&^# suck ha well if you have a spare block who cares

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

new block went in yesterday and its boosting 7psi very happily, even spanked a 03 si with a 75 shot of nawwz

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

Ouch, that sucks Chris. How's that basemap? Just curious to know how it blew the first time? No wastegate?

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

The color is NYG (nitroacid yellow green)
There is only one pulley to do, the alternator/ac/ps pulley. The PCM can not be chipped, but you can get a reprogramed one from mopar or af/x, and the retainers for the valves are offered in titanium, and what a waste they are.
SOHC neon in the pic, still with the crappy puke and die intake manifold tuned for lower rpm.
Compression can be anything. IF the head is untouched, it could range from 9.2:1 to almost 13:1. But I'm going to guess it has 10.5:1 pistons.

Glad you're back up and running tho. ;)

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

I wasn't running a boost gauge on my first drive either. Come to think of it I didn't even have fuel management lol. Jeff made me rip it around the block anyways. Man I can't believe I thought that 3-4psi was fast haha.

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

it still is.

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

I don't even think my car is fast at 10-12psi anymore. :-\

Re: I was boosted.... pics
 

It sucks how that happens. But then just take someone for a ride and they are flipping out because they can't believe it is a single cam. :o
