quick answer, no

have you looked at that manifold yet? its meant to sit in the front of the engine bay and route back. Look at it first. Those engines are backwards from ours, besides its a WAY different head.

once again, search. that question is asked ALL the time. Lucky this isn't the big org. I beleive they shoot people there now for that question.

The DSM/Neon confusion with the 2G Eclipse nonturbo is a real PITA for both Neon forums and DSM forums, believe you me.

Why they stuck the 420A in the Eclipse I'll never know, the 4G63 NT was just fine.

They should have put the 4G63T in the Neon R/T to begin with, then the 4G63NT for the regular models.

Well the neon wasn't originally supposed to be a sports car by any means. It was a year later they realized people were having great success with autocross using the neon. Therefore the ACR was released, and then more of a luxory knock off of an ACR, the RT. It was never really ment to have the balls for drag racing, just handling.

Wrong, the acr was available in 95. Ask Jeff B

my bad, you are right. BUT the ACR still released after the neon originally launched. The autocross group quickly grabbed onto it. But it still wasn't designed with racing in mind

And yes, i know Jeff B has a 95 ACR. I've watched it on the dyno before. Impressive little booger

Heh, sorry I didn't mean to sound like a dick with that post. I was pretty sure the ACR was offered from the get-go, since they had that whole "Neon Challenge" thing going on. I hope one day my little booger can be that fast. Right now, I just want it on the damn road!
