Wow. Huh. I wonder how much shop rates would be, if you had NO connections, for a reputable local shop to do a complete turbo install. I've never thought about it, because that would be like heresy or hypocrisy or anarchy or......something horrible for someone else to work on my car. :lol: I bet tha...

Hahahahahaha..... I grin everytime I see that "WEEEEE" down at the bottom of the page. I can't decide if it makes me think more of piss or of a rollar coaster........

i think he is just saying that there are two designations for the same trans. Yep, that's what I was saying. I was waiting for BlackRose to get in on this and let us know whats going on. :D So, thanks man. And yeah, I wouldn't doubt if they changed the recommended fluid type as the years went on si...

Nice! I really like those later model R/T wheels on it. If it was lowered, it would be perfect. But, I'm sure it rides real nice the way it is now, and probably handles good too.

Well, almost.....

The more oil ends up on the crank, the more oil get slung around at high speed, thus the more air bubbles you get in the oil. Which is bad. Windage trays and crank scrapers both have the same goal. Crank scrapers "wipe" the crank lobes clean each revolution, windage trays keep the oil "level" in the...

looks like an excellant report with ultra low wear. the silicon is high but from what i read that is typical of having a K&N filter. the viscosity looks good. didnt shear down like some. if you want i can post this on bobistheoilguy.com and see what they think of it, should be good. quicksilvr: som...

does the es/rt mean you put an r/t drivetrain in your car? that would explain differences. between yours and mine. but i thought all neons except the srt had the nvt-350. The R/T means I have swapped the Magnum head and intake manifold into my car. I still have the standard 2000 manual transmission...

As far as I have been able to find, the only transmission fluid recommended for the A578 manual transmission is the Mopar semi-synthetic, part number 4773167. ATF+4 isn't recommended for the A578 tranny. I assume that the Mopar fluid, p/n 4773167, is more like a gear lube. All I know, is that mine w...

I got a hoot out of this site... http://www.mychryslersucks.com/ ..."dedicated to the 2000 Chrysler 300m that I owned from 1999 to 2002." "My ownership experience with this vehicle can only be described as SUCKS." They think a car sucks, write up a lame list of why it sucks, but they went ahead and ...

Very cool. 8) As soon as I set a catch-can up, I'm switching to Mobil 1 5W-30. The engine deserves it I suppose. :lol: Question for you Greg, you might know. When putting oil back into the engine after it's been caught in a catch-can from coming out the PCV, do I have to worry about anything concern...

quicksilvr: which fluid to you use? i believe that dcx started using the +4 in 02 (in the mtx's). im wondering if the problem is the +4 and since i went from an atf to another atf the problem wouldnt have worsened or got better. maybe when i get to the end of the year, my warrenty should be up then...

haha well i mean the mat is where it suppose to be, it runs up behind the pedals but its only what, 1/4"? is that enough to make a diff. Understood. I can't say for sure, because I really don't know what throttle position the R/T ECU is looking for in order to activate the secondaries. All I can su...

Thanks! I was kind of planning on doing the same thing....simply looking around for a pulley that would work on the alternator, even if it's just a standard steel pulley. Let me know what you come up with!

But no one liked my half tinted exports. I even got a couple of VERY nasty PMs about what I "did to those tail lights" :roll: Anyway, good job on the lights. Ouch! I'm sure they looked good (imo), but people probably couldn't believe you tinted $200 lights. Unless you didn't pay $200 for them. :) I...

kirktalife wrote:that sounds like a pretty cool idea, do you think because i have a big gay rubber floor mat cuz its winter would make a difference?

It's possible. Make sure the mat isn't behind your throttle, and then see what happens. Just make sure you don't floor it so hard you break something.

The alternator ODP is NOT a bigger pulley. It is in fact nearly half the size of the original pulley and much lighter weight. It must be smaller to turn the alternator faster. A larger pulley, like the Mopar Perf. pulley would turn the alternator more slowly. I have an Adam K. pulley on my car with...

That was a 4th gear pull for sure. I have to agree, I haven't hooked up my secondaries yet, and it still pulls decent over the stock manifold. One of these day's I'll ge off my ass and open up that digikey box :roll: To test, just apply 12v to the MTV motor and you will hear it flick open. Could be...

nice vid clip forsure, was that a 3rd gear pull?, ya my car pulls like normal up the whole range, it doesnt lag from 5to redline but it doesnt seem like its gaining either, just continuous if that makes sense, and i dont got that sound i difference at 5k either. I would assume it was in 4th gear ac...

believe me, if theyre not working, itll feel as low youre down about 20hp from 5k-7k.... otherwise, youre fine I only partly agree. :lol: At first whim, I would completely agree, but I don't have my secondaries wired up yet on my car, and from 5k-redline it still feels pretty dang good. Really does...

You have to be at wide open throttle. If you're close to WOT, but not quite, they won't open. Take it to redline, and make sure you've got the pedal all the way to the carpet. Besides listening for it to get louder around 5k, I don't know of a way, besides cutting your connector off the MTV and appl...

Good question. I'm about 98% sure that they are the same. When you look up fuel injector part numbers for like '01-'02 Neons, there is only one part number, opposed to a "with R/T" or "without R/T".

lol you counter your UDP with an ODP? lol why not going stock then? A UDP on the crank and an ODP on the alternator is a great setup. The pulley on the crank is much lighter, and it's mass is closer to the centerline of the crank's rotating mass. That's where most of the performance gain lies....no...

Here's mine.

AdamK. is the one you are after. I think he is on the other dot org. He has been inactive for a LONG time now on .org, and I talked to him a while back, he is no longer making the Alternator ODPs.... Josh Hm. Shoot. A higher output alternator is always an option, but I really just want a bigger pul...

I have "sleves" on mine.... i think they were well worth it. Yeah it is bouncy, but thats from the front bottoming out on the bumpstops. Then again, i have the arospeed brand. When and where did you get your Arospeed sleeves from? Those were the very first suspension mod I did to my first neon, bef...

Instead of getting a new alternator, I'd like to simply put a bigger pulley on it, to counter-act my crank UDP. Is there one available? I thought I had heard of it, but then I did some searching, and I didn't come up with anything. Any input in this area? Thanks!

Yeah, the bracket is way too huge to work on the Magnum intake mani. It was so big and heavy, I kinda wanted to scrap it and make my own that was simpler and lighter, but decided that it bolts up so nice, I should just use it and modify it to work. Thanks for the comment Kevin. I try to be as helpfu...

Very nice! You ever think about tinting the windows? Not only would it go with the new tails but tints would look nice on a silver car (and many other colors). Tint coming up this spring. Can't wait...I've been putting it off, and using the money for parts. Tint, carbon fiber hood, new headlights (...
