Excellent! Thank you so much! The swap sounds really easy, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it. I can't wait! Thanks again!

--Jim

hmm that's good.. that would be a great temporary solution until I figure out how to get the sentry system working, which I want to use eventually.. thanks!

hey! great info -- thanks! I'll definitely try everything I can to use my current system.. otherwise I'll have to replace it all.. which isn't such a big deal, except for the expense of it all and the keys

My neon is a 2003 and yes it does have a sentry system.

OK some more great points.. yes I would like to do the swap, but there are alot of factors that weigh in.. as you just said, adam, for the price of the swap I could probably pick up a used SRT. And the insurance thing bothers me.. I should check with Geico about what they do if I have a nonstock eng...

Alright good info again guys.. As it turns out, I have to get this damage fixed, because there's alot of internal damage from the idiot's jeep underneath the bumper cover.. so I'll just see how things go.. and if I think I'll have time to do the swap. I mean blue book says I can get 6-7k on a trade-...

Hey thanks for all the info! Ironically, some idiot rear ended me yesterday.. soo I'm going to see if there's a way I can turn that and some cash into an SRT-4 haha.. Good info about the AGP kit, that's the kind of power I'd like to make. How streetable is an SRT with that kit, though? This is a dai...

You can sometimes find cheap SRT-4s out there for 13-14K, sometimes less if they have more miles. Personally I like my swap, I learned a lot about my car and had a lot of fun in the process. I don't pay the insurance amount of an SRT-4 as the VIN still displays as an R/T giving me R/T rates. If you...

id say boost ur car for only 2500 w/ the kit comin out if you want to keep it atx or do a swap. insurance is gonna own you with a srt at your age. but thats just what id do. personally im waitin for the supercharger to come out. Hey! Thanks for the response! I'm currently insured with Geico, and I ...

I've done a bunch of research over the past few days on doing the SRT-4 swap into my 2003 SXT ATX.. and I keep coming back to this question: Which is more cost effective? Well, cost effective really isn't a good term.. because there are other factors besides cost, so I'll just say, which do you guys...

Hey guys! thanks for the prompt responses.. hopefully I'll get a junked SRT and use its keys.. otherwise i'll have to look into these other options.. that's good info about the stages.. I can't really afford the stage 3.. but I can most likely afford a stage 2 w/o toys.. so then in the future I coul...

Hey! I'm planning out my swap, and I keep coming back to the issue that I currently have sentry keys, and would like them after the swap. I'm not sure how the system works, but I know when you order a stage kit, you must supply the VIN for them to flash onto the new computer. Would it solve the sent...

PLEASE! if you can answer just one question that's fine.. anything! thanks! Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted here.. seems like the SRT-4 swapping is alot more popular than when I last checked! I've finally decided to do the swap.. and I've read through alot of threads, and the stick...

Alright great, thanks! I can do any sort of work, so long as I have instructions or an idea of what I'm supposed to be doing -- but since it's a sentry key, and I'm dealing with the ignition, I want to make sure I do it right so that it doesn't cause problems and lock up or something -- PM sent than...

My neon used to be garaged, but now we moved and we're doing construction on the new house.. until that's all done, the neon has to stay outside.. so I was looking into getting a remote starter so the car isn't freezing for the first 10 minutes of my ride every morning.. and if the construction last...

Hey! This is a great thread.. I have a little under 20k on my SXT and I need an oil change, should I go with Synthetic? Everyone seems to say Mobil 1... so I guess I'll go with that.. anyone have any recommendations about what type? I live in Long Island, NY.. it's winter and it's pretty cold.. a wa...

Correct... the cluster will slip right in.

sweet that's what I like to hear

hey thanks! So just to be clear, the SRT gauge cluster works with the SXT harness? (except for the boost gauge)?

oh alright that sounds easy.. and thanks for the super fast reply!!

yeah I hear the dash harness works, which makes me very happy haha.. but thanks for the tip.. I'll just run my own boost guage, it can't be that hard... maybe you guys can include how you wired yours in your how-to

i've also done this swap...and it's not as easy as it seems. There are a lot of small annoyances you'll run into along the way, but in the end, it's well worth it. FWIW, I did the swap in an '02 also...but the '03's don't have as much similar to the SRT as you'd think. You will definitely need the ...

hey that is a good deal.. where is that? Not sure if it's worth it in the long run with insurance and all..

hey thanks for the info.. surprising that that little bit is different on the SRT-4s.. but oh well.. little cutting is no big deal.. thanks for the info.. and yeah it would be sweet if it were all in one thread.. and thanks for the pics!

alright sweet.. I guess I'll start looking now, even though I have no place to put it until my garage is built (we just moved into a new house, and we're building a detached garage to house my chevelle, neon, the lift, tools, etc.).. I was looking around for insurance auctions.. for cars that were t...

Yeah I've had a CAI for more than a year now, and I'm always cautious about driving through puddles and such, but never had a problem... I've driven through a few puddles where I knew I shouldn't have, and come out fine.. I always coast through.. try and minimize the vacuum.. water is pretty heavy, ...

03+ already has the cutout in the core support so you won't have to do any cutting. For you it'll be a little easier. There's just a few little things here and there that aren't very hard to figure out but are sorta annoying. After reflect finishes his maybe me, josh, him, and a few other guy that ...

Sweet..thank you so much for the list, looks great! I don't plan on keeping my tranny, I'm looking forward to the MTX anyhow. Good luck with your swap, let us all know how it goes! Do you know if there's any differences doing the swap in a 2000 vs. a 2003? Maybe I don't have to swap out certain part...

wow thanks for all of the replies! Clearly, I don't know much about turbos haah.. that's where most of my learning will come in.. never worked on a car with a turbo before, never even been under the hood of one.. but if all goes well, hopefully I'll drive one come summer :-D Thanks for the parts lis...

Hey thank you very much I appreciate it! My car is currently an ATX, and I don't plan on using the SRT front fascia (unless that causes big problems) I like how my neon looks as it is now, maybe in the future i'll go for an SRT front or an aftermarket one.. but I want to keep the body looking stock,...

awesome thanks.. for the record I did search, but didn't come up with anything specifically about doing a swap.. sorry! EDIT: His definitely seems sweet.. but it's a pre 03, so as I understand it, he had to do a little more work to make the swap.. I hear in 03 and up, it's basically just pluck the e...
