---- yeah quad 4s are awesome motors! My friend used to have an old cavalier with one of those and it hauled ***. And the old 2.2s were bad *** because they were built stout and could handle gobs of boost, just like the srt-4. And honda did put race technology into their cars. If not then we wouldn't have the zc, or vtec. They wouldn't rev as high, or have the ports and combustion chambers they have.

Re: only honda at an srt-4 meet....
The main factor for Honda being the import of choice is availibiliy, price, and interchangability. If GSR's had motors we couldn't put into Civics, or at least weren't as interchangable as all b-series are today, it'd be a different story. The fact that the upper models came with around 100hp/liter is almost a fringe benifit. If Nissan's were in the same boat, I'm sure you'd see many more boosted 240's with SR20DET's with skyline heads/pistons/etc (point reflects B18 parts on a B16).
I don't think you can get away with people buying cookie-cutter pre-made 'muscle cars' being jonny-bolt-on fagtards. Those that do seem faggy have a tendency to judge cars based on what they look like and think the performance of a car can't be improved over factory specs. Basicly, they think strap-ons, I mean bolt-ons, is the only means for speed, and surely a Civic CX that came with a 70hp motor can *never* be faster than their fuel-injected, forced-induction, dual-exhausted 'muscle car'.
The problem with Dodge cars from the 80's was their weight. They also didn't have one of Honda's strengths in every car, that being multiport fuel injection. Like hell I'd be caught trying to do ---- to my first '88 Shadow with it's tuned port ---- or whatever it was. It's one of the reasons I won't buy a dodge. They also didn't continue that 'lineage' and make the vast improvements that Honda later did for the 90's.
Last thing, for the record, SRT-4 is a trim level - it's still a Neon, which was originally a car made to be 'cute' and appeal to the masses for an entry-level crapmoble.

Turbocharging is an old favorite for hotrodders who want more performance out of their vehicle. The creative (and mechanically inclined) car owner can add a turbo to just about anything on wheels, but it sure is nice to start with a vehicle which was turbocharged by the factory... and multi-point fuel injection is a plus, too.
Chrysler corporation has sold more turbo-equipped vehicles than any other automaker. These turbocharged engines are a great platform for economical performance and reliability. Many people wonder what they can do to increase the power of their turbocharged car; thus the creation of this web page. Having owned and modified a few Shelby Dodge turbo cars over the years, I have gained a bit of experience in this area. I also stay in close contact with many other Shelby Dodge turbo enthusiasts and the successes they have. What changes would I recommend, based on all of these experiences? Read on.

on the other side someone could argue that you can put almost any motor in any car, with a kit some company makes. example v8s in z cars/240sx's/s10s/mazda trucks... ext
hondas are cool cause you can take a stock motor from like an integra and put it in a crx and it'll be pretty quick

Re: only honda at an srt-4 meet....
I would buy a neon, srt-4. yes, i would like to own one. i would spend 20grand on one.
i like a car, that in stock form you can crank the boost up to 20psi, and still be "stock".
I have drivin one, and was extremly impressed. and dont say, "i could build a car for 20grand and smoke a srt-4 any day so the week" because I will reply, if you couldnt build a faster car for 20grand, you would be a ------- idiot. comparing a built car for 20grand and a brand new car for 20grand, is comparring 2 different things.
and I agree with johnny on the fact that chrysler has been building stout 4cyl for many years.
you also have to look at the fact that chrysler has the SRT model out in every form, so does chevy, in the form of SS, and ford will soon have something out. therefore, why would they leave the neon out?

Re: only honda at an srt-4 meet....
Nobody cares what dodge made in the 80's. Those cars aren't the reason why today you have a neon turbo running around the streets. You have these cars because honda made a bunch of kids go hog wild over their little civics and for the most part created "The import scene". Back then all the dodge guys were talking ----, and now that's it's this huge market they (and ford, and GM) want a piece of it.
So again, this isn't about who made the first import, it's about why all these domestic "sport compacts" (look, they even changed the "import" name to include themselves
) are even being made today.
If you trace this big market back to the roots, it's 70% honda, and 30% of old nissans, toyotas, ect. Dodge was just talking ---- in the early 90's when "the scene" was starting to develop, and for that, they can take their bullshit cars and market them at someone who doesn't realize they called us jokes, and now wanna sell us cars. ---- them.
