Lol, if only they came with one.

srt turbo works well

of course you would suggest that, since he'd have to buy your adapter plate lol

lol, well i did just finish my turbo setup, which took me all winter.

haha yeah im talkn bout the turbo labarons and daytonas..which turbo would be best? and could i use one of those manifolds?

As for the manifolds, no they won't bolt to the neon head. I'm sure the turbo could be made to work, but at what cost per HP gain?

The best route would to go with a known set up that works with the 2.0 neon.

Getting a turbo from a 20 year old car is likely to have some negative issues.

yeah i plan on rebuilding the turbo.. just somethin i can pick up for cheap i guess and make good power?

ya right. ull spend more money on something thats not going to work as well.

srt turbo the car or ASP turbo the car.

I reccomend ASP, but if u cant afford it, srt.

do it right or ur gonna regret doing it.

but what about like a 16g off an eclipse though? ive heard people using those before. i just dont want the srt turbo cause there minimal room for inprovement.

How do you figure that? Forward Motion makes upgraded turbos for the stock manifold, as well as an upgraded manifold. Not to mention the wide assortment of upgrades from other companies.

Even the stock turbo will support up to 320hp with other support mods. So what do you mean?

I think you need to do some research on turboing your car before you start to get into this.

Lets look at my setup, I bought the cheapest reliable turbo (srt turbofold) and made an adaptor plate for it.

After running the piping, oil and coolant lines, mounting the IC and wiring the megasquirt as well as swapping injectors and fitting new sensors, running vaccum lines and a boost controller and installing the new guages and tuning, the turbo and the manifold come out to be a small percentage to a huge project. If u wanted to, u could buy an asp turbo manifold and turbo right now and be all the better.



In truth, u can swap that turbo for anything u want later on, but getting your car READY for boost is where all the work comes in.



Do some research, or ask some questions around the forced induction area. Once u figure out how and what you need, then start adding up what parts u need, and start stockpiling.

i know exactly what i need i just want a small turbo for my stock motor now to keep me ocupied.. cause i have another motor im building now with a holset hx35. just lookn for cheapest way to turbo my motor.

well, a small turbo isnt gonna be any better than a big one, in fact a smaller turbo is gonna make more tq which will really screw ur rods. Ide go with a larger turbo and fan my powerband out a little bit

Junkyard turbo ftw
Idk what everyone else is talking about, a junkyard turbo build will work fine.

Check out my progress log yo... boosted for around 2gs

so uve been boosted for 2000 miles? hows it holding up? i figure about 10k before all the bugs are worked out and u know that everythings gonna last.

I feel like he was referring to how much it cost him, hence the "JY turboes FTW" quote. Or that he found one and has been boosted for 2k. Lul. What a confusing statement!

idk, cheap shit aint good, good shit aint cheap

Junkyard turbos work. So do leaf blowers, and it's dyno proven. Do they work well? That depends on what you are using. If I found an s362 in a junkyard, it would work pretty good in a drag car. But you won't find em.

^^

He's actually on his way over to tune mine:

whats ur turbo doing on the lawn?

Don't you see the cord? It's charging. Electric (eBay) turbo mang.

ah, well in any case, ericks great, nice guy and he knows what hes doing.

btw eric.... i wanna turn the boost up..what to do?

Getting back on topic, to the OP: Of course a junkyard setup is possible, but considering the fact that almost no one does it these days on these engines, you're gonna have to figure it out for yourself. Sounds like you know what you're doing, so why the questions?

Nothing from a 2.2/2.5/2.4 turbo setup will bolt up to the 2.0. Does that help?

u can make it.

^ no you can make it, he can buy it

LOL. fact^

idk why people insist on making work for themselves.

He's trying to save money. Outside the Neon world, JY turbos are pretty popular. I heard about a local CRX that had a $1000 setup and was blowing everyone's doors off sleeper style. Unfortunately, our engines don't have all the R&D that the Honda guys do, so we have to sort things out the long hard way. Engine management is a big issue too.

There's no such thing as cheap and easy when it comes to a Neon.

There is however cheap and hard.
