Haha came back to this thread to check the equivalent of Mopar engine gen 2 rtv. Doing oil pan gasket and have to put that stuff in two corners. Have ultra black rtv

Turbos have LONG had their longevity troubles ...all the way back to WW11 aircraft engines! Heat "coking" on shutdown of the oil feed/return on a HOT turbo is the most common cause. That"s why a number of years ago they came out with add on electric oil pumps to keep oil flowing on shut down and al...

They do. I haven't heard of anything crazy with the 2gn. Its not my daily driver so I don't care about vibrations really. Plus its a Neon and doesn't ride the best anyway. That is why I have an automatic Acura TL-S that rides very smooth. And if that chain fails, its a huge mess, can be very catastr...

Well decided to just get it rebuilt. Having this guy rebuild it. He does good work from what I hear. Once he receives it and takes it all apart. I can decide if I want to upgrade the wheel too. $250 for rebuild. https://www.facebook.com/ArtGennariTurbo/ 2-4 week turnaround time which will seem like ...

Thanks I found a used journal bearing turbo just like mine. AGP 50t .63 AR for $450 OBO. He said it only has 5k miles on it...It doesn't look like it has 5k miles on it! LOL But that would be a cheap easy option. Just swap it in and cross my fingers. I even tossed the idea of going back to stock for...

That's a lot of play for sure. What's the plan for the turbo? Rebuild or replace with something bigger? Definetely not rebuild. Its an old style journal bearing turbo. Unless I can find one used. But I doubt it. Then you find one used and they say its in great shape but turns out it is not. So goin...

So happy its the turbo! https://i.imgur.com/0rB9jfQ.mp4 = video showing play on exhaust side. Check out that caked on oil. https://i.imgur.com/vTvbmRh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QDmAaoc.jpg Found a little exhaust leak on my wastegate to manifold too https://i.imgur.com/YNr2DTn.jpg Downpipe and wastegat...

Yeah...glad mine is an 05 and never seen bad weather haha. A turbo car from 1985...yeah, no thanks. I think the turbo only has like 13k miles but it was put on like in 2008 or 2009. Oh for sure. I am just trying to figure out where to start at first. Taking the hotside off the turbo off will be a PI...

Thanks. Its normal to have some play. AGP got back at me. They said "That might be a little much. If the wheels are hitting the housing it is time for a rebuild." I am thinking of pulling my cam cover today and see if anything is broken. But there is no rattling noise or anything in my valve train. ...

https://i.imgur.com/riGS6zT.mp4 Well that sucks. It smoked like this last year. I put a new PCV valve in and switched out checkvalves and that seemed to fix it. I also did a compression check. All were almost dead even. Removed exhaust side of turbo and it was dry. Not caked in oil or anything. I c...

Yes it is sad. They couple that were selling it bought it in February of this year. To me it was the previous owner that neglected it. Looks like it just sat in the hot Oklahoma sun every day and was never washed and the paint was never protected. Hope the next starter fixes it your SRT. Sucks you g...

The lien alone could make or break the deal. If he owes much more than you're willing to pay, and even if you reach an agreed price, the title will not be released until he can pay the balance of the loan. Then there is the wait for the bank to process the title, which might be a day or it could be...

et35 on the rpf1's? I know of a guy running 17x8 et 35's on 245/40/17 with no rub or spacers on BC coilovers. Not sure why your tire is hitting the coilover. I am running 235/45/17 with no spacers same suspension and wheel setup. Makes me want to see how much space I have. You could be running more ...

Awesome! They look great too. Good job on painting them. Running spacers it looks like. What for?

My SRT-4 had the problem of not going into First or Reverse … needed a complete clutch. Hail damage can be very expensive to repair … never fixed mine. My feeling is that the car should be a "part-out", and not worth $6k :( Clutch was replaced at a dealership at like 64k miles or so according to th...

Not much at all. Nice find. So there is a black srt-4 for sale that is only 30 minutes away from me. It is Mopar stage 3. He was asking $7k and is now asking $6k for it. Been interested in it. 79k miles. Carfax and autocheck came out good. He says it has hail damage and its hard to get in first or ...

It "could" be a shift fork. Who knows could be something worse...or easier. But I have a feeling he doesn't know. I saw his posts on facebook on a srt4 page and he was having issues with boost, seemed like easy fixes he just didn't know. Only 2 previous owners. Oklahoma car until the current owner b...

^Wonder what it sold for? Article was from December 2018

Wow good info you guys. Yeah not sure on it. Don't really need it but I am a fan of unique fun Dodge cars. Especially if they have a manual transmission. Here are some pictures of it: https://i.imgur.com/psSq4MM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SkxuwEJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xcTgep1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/...

That is true. New cars are stupid expensive. Plus Americans wanting to buy BIG UGLY SUV's/Crossovers and Trucks. BRR your friend is very smart for buying a fun vehicle that will probably go up in value. Anyone know how well the 3.0 motors are in the Stratus R/T's? A friend's co-worker is selling his...

Thanks colonel! It sucked being at a pay rate for 3.5 years without a raise. I hate concessions on contracts.

Viper always dies and comes back. I would love to have a Viper at some point. 4th gen atleast. 08-10. but since they don't make them anymore, the value will just continue to go up probably. $60-$70k for a decent low mileage one. :( I finally hit top scale at work 2 weeks ago! Time to make decent mon...

^Agreed

That does look really good. I tried VHT niteshades on my 2001 Neon SE a LONG time ago and failed miserably. Might just buy the VHT red and have the guy who re-painted my rear fascia do the tails in all red and cleared. I am sure he will do it cheap. I been tossing around taking the Caliber SRT-4 bad...

nice i signed up. I checked out a couple things. Nothing I really need for my neon though. Looking for things for my TL. Hope your brake job goes smoothly and your calipers are in good shape

Very nice! How did you get $200 off?!! That is one heck of a deal!

Happy late birthday! Hope you got to drive your mint srt-4 around

What up bitches. Someone call for me? :mrgreen: Love seeing old members come back again. Need more to come back [-o< I see "brodie" is posting a log on the 2gn facebook page of his rusty 2nd gen ACR. glad that guy is back in a Neon. He had nicely done silver SXT, supertrick_05 was his username I th...

Great pictures I think they look awesome. Learn something new everyday...I checked mine out since it has been a while. Mine say "Eagle Eye" where yours say "dynamic" Mine are also flat black. Had no idea about the "Depo" ones being a gloss black. Mine seem to fit perfect but I used OEM headlight gas...
