ive changed my bushings before but never put the Prothane ones on. just making sure the LCA ones aka the middle ones in pic look correct..? they are on my spare metal sleeves that i finally got to cleaning and i plan to put these on tomorrow if i get my day off from work.

Picture is broken. You should have directions that came with the bushings though, Manny. If I remember correctly, the big bushing goes on top....Can't quite remember though.

lullz on the hood thing.

well i havent had time to do much lately.. am scheduled to work tillnext friday so i guess i wont be installing them till then, rite now im about to go outside and try to figure out what my battery is drained and cluster is flashing fuse.. Steven gave me a clue.. well see if it helps. well thats it for now.

Edited a few min later: im pretty sure its a bad battery. bought it like in February of this year so im going to go get a new one. im only reading 4 volts on my meter from it.

Soooo wait a second. You had turbo parts and scrapped them to go another way.

Now you're going turbo again.

Do I need to ask about your thought process there or should we assume it's just Mannytardo being Mannytardo?

Selling off SOHC turbo parts then selling off SOHC motor.

He's doing a SRT swap.

The picture just shows us a cheap ass boost gauge.

GL w/ the swap

^ i applaud you for being smart. this wasnt me being a smart ass either. i was wondering when someone would figure it out.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun May 08, 2011 2:33 pm

Ahhhh, OK. That makes sense then.

basically the only part i need is the engine bay harness, you know the one that comes wit fuse box. thats whats going to be putting a damper on my swap next weekend. im still going to take out engine put srt in there just to get ahead. i found one on srt forums but dude said it has a bad pcm connector..

i havent tried the junk yard yet as i just now figured out wich wiring it was that i needed. the other wiring comes with the engine.

edited a few hours later, found a guy on neons.org and am txting him and looks like i got me the wiring harness i need. just gotta wait for him to pull it as he is still in the process of tearing apart the srt4 he has.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:17 pm

I just got a wiring harness from a buddy... I'll check it out and see which one it is.... and if it's in good shape.

If I remember right he said one of the connectors was broken?.... so if you can get the one from the org cheap, snag it.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:36 pm

^ sounds like the guy i seen with it on srt forums. where the one pcm connector was broken.

but yea LMK, this dude im talking to wont have it out till this coming friday so that puts me at lets say 2 weeks from now having it running.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:47 pm

I'll check it out and take pictures of what I have...maybe between the two you'll have a good harness

I'd give you mine for free...what year motor do you have? I also have some "stage 1" (04+) injectors if you need em, ill give you a good deal.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:50 pm

ok & i hate you. lol. cause i seen you had them cheaper than what i just bought some for the other day. but yes i got stage 1 injectors on the way for it. that was the only main engine piece i was missing that didnt come with engine. i have everything else coming in this week. its gonna be like xmas all over again.

umm i do need a second stock pod if u by any chance have one or know of one.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:54 pm

Don't think I have a spare pod...

Yea I got the stage 1 injectors on the FB page for $60 I think.. I'd have gave them to you for like $40 lol...

Need a fuel rail cover "SRT" thing?

gl on the swap.. btw if you want a nice boost gauge i have an srt one... its a lot nicer.. i got it for someone then he couldnt buy it so i got shafted with it....
