Well if you are going to I suggest you save your pennies, and start searching for that manifold (or an ACR-R/T complete engine) now. Not many were built. I got lucky with the engine (right place/right time deal). Even got the "made by Borla" header!orangeneon05 wrote:yea man this tread is a benefit to me because im still wanting to do this sometime.

Holy crap, welcome back.
I've been a little busy in the last month to realize you've posted a bit.

magnum intake swap
Sorry for bringing up old thread. I just did a 2,0 magnum rt motor swap on a 2002 neon base model . I used the double relay wot/rpm setup. For some reason the wot will not program at wot but only half way. I unplugged the wiring and it acts like the rev limiter is on at 4 grand. does this with the wiring and without. Could it be the fact I am using the stock throttle body and not the rt? Or could it be because I am using the old ecu and not rt? I used the writeup on this site and I have rechecked all my wiring and left confused. are the crank position sensors the same on both blocks? Please someone help.

how much all together for this mod. i have a 2000 SOHC 5spd and am raising a family on my school money. trying to get the most for my dollar and if i can reuse better optional/stock parts to do so then i'm all for it. if i'm better off going custom-DIYS. i hope to get an idea of what i want to do and how i want to do it. also i am going to school for automotive so i know some stuff really well and other stuff not so much.
Finding / paying for the Magnum intake is the biggest expense of this swap.Aaron Clemmer wrote:how much all together for this mod. i have a 2000 SOHC 5spd and am raising a family on my school money. trying to get the most for my dollar and if i can reuse better optional/stock parts to do so then i'm all for it. if i'm better off going custom-DIYS. i hope to get an idea of what i want to do and how i want to do it. also i am going to school for automotive so i know some stuff really well and other stuff not so much.
You may need to go to the junkyard for some of the related 'hardware'.

just revisiting this idea, came across some new devices which have RPM window and WOT switches in one unit. the cheapest i've come across is the granatelli GM-DWS100
http://www.jegs.com/i/Granatelli/467/GM-DWS100/10002/-1
it does what the zex WOT switch does and what the MSD RPM window switch does but all in 1 unit.

I feel stupid asking, but does this require some sort of special head (magnum head?)...
