Lol yeah i'm trying my hardest to learn as much as I can in the quickest amount of time

I'll really go after the parts once I get my timing belt done and buy my chick a puppy.

Today I was like, "I got something!". She ran to my car and almost cried when she saw the box...she thought it was the pup =\ haha yeah...i'm an asshole

So harsh...it's bad enough she has to put up with your Neon obsession, you really like pushing the limit of tolerance huh?

Get her a puppy! That will buy you a little time...

No shit eh

Will I be able to use my MPX 60mm TB with a 2.0 set up? If not I need to know what to start selling now.

I know the CAI needs to go and the TTI long tube header is def on it's way out

Just to safe you some time, PB Blaster works miracles on exhaust system nuts. Wish I knew about it long before I spent a few hours muscling the nuts that didn't move.

No reason you won't be able to use your MPX 60 with the turbo setup, just have to get some cold side piping to fit it.

Nice...should I get a stock SRT intercooler or just get a big FMIC from the start? I'm leaning more towards the Big FMIC

lvlistchif · Post by **lvlistchif** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 8:53 pm

stock intercooler will be more than enough on the stock turbo bfmic will be overkill

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 12:30 am

I would advise a intercooler LIKE stock, but NOT the stock one. That one takes 'fabbing' to the radiator support and the hot side is just a biotch, especially since it's egg shaped and in the way of things. But you defintely won't have the need for a BFMIC

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 1:14 am

Should i jusy sell this and save for an srt swap?

FUCK! i dont' know what to do. On the other hand I could part this together.

This damn thing is a burden

You could get an I/C that's made for your car (i.e. sidewinder) & retrofit yourself a kit for it (somecustom plumbing on hotside).

I would deffinitly recommend reworking the turbo as much as you can before putting it on (i.e. porting, clipping etc..).

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:50 am

I assume I would have to talk to a mechanic about welding up an intercooler? I just don't see what would be a good position for the intercooler. I saw a member on here welded up one and had the CAI work as his cold side pipe.

I'm still researching this topic like crazy.

I really don't know how much this will all cost.

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 9:15 am

A 'sidewinder' intercooler like what Hahn offers is probably the best, like someone said earlier, you might be able to find one like it on ebay for cheap.

Always prepare to spend more, it's the little stuff that adds up right when your about to finish. I just got done installing mine and came out to a lot more than I was expecting, but in the end it's worth it.

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:04 pm

How much was yours altogether? Is there any tips or anything you can give me?

I need this thing to be super reliable

I heard from a bunch of srt guys and rage-tek that it would be best to go BFMIC on the stock turbo. They claim that the stock intercooler heatsoaks way to easily and it would be convenient if you are planning on going bigger turbo as well...

Adionik, as for the cost, its always good to look for the best deals, I don't know about you, but i prefer some parts to be new rather than extensively used and then sold for cheap, but I am also doing a similar setup with that turbo and I can estimate that it will run me in the end about $2000 to $2500. And this doesn't include any other extra expenses that might come along the way...

I'm sorry, but there's absolutely no reason at all for him to get the turbo ported and clipped... its just a stupid idea all around

he's got a stock 2L....that turbo puts out more than his motor can handle as it is

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 12:34 am

yo yo...this motor can tear shit up

I actually think this motor can't take much more. =\ I'm having problems as it is. Where the hell can I get an upgraded oil pump

i can say that i officially hate you, for getting a free turbo

just j/k

I didn't even consider that..but they still have adoption fees of like $100

rushtom2 · Post by **rushtom2** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:41 am

Depends where you adopt I guess... If you can find one in some sort of classified section, no.. Even still, dogs are not cheap animals to buy from a breeder or a store.

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 11:02 am

That's true. I was considering a daschund, would run about $250+with shots.

Then I thought about getting a rabbit but i'm not sure how they are indoors and they smell

Dont get a rabbit, i had one last year in my dorm room and they suck! it chewed threw all my electrical chords and shit everywhere... although it ate cheetos which was pretty funny.

Just adopt from your local shelter! Thats the best thing to do

[/off topic]

When you got the turbo, was there any play in the Shaft? Thats the first thing I would have checked IMO

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 9:16 am

I have no idea...the turbo is a foot away from me right now.

If it doesn't spin freely then it's a dud right?

Yea I wouldn't trust it if it doesn't.

Just give it a good spin with your index finger, if it spins relatively easy then you should be good. Also go wiggle the shaft and if it moves left to right or up and down or has any play in it at all then I would say yea.

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 2:37 pm

Wiggle the shaft....

I can get a used motor & transmission for the 2.0 for $100 bucks

I'm wondering where or not to turbo this one, pop it or something....and switch the other one in it

What year car did you put the stock SRT-4 intercooler on? I had no problems with mine or no fabbing of any radiator supports.

Also, the stock SRT-4 intercooler will fine for what you’re doing… On the stock block you will be limited on the power you can make. With the TD04 pictured is should take around 8-10psi to get to the limits. It took me 10psi, but my compression was low. I did have some fun on the highway at 16psi for multiple pulls against an SRT-4 and never had any ill effects. I don’t suggest doing this though…

I also don’t think you can do it for $2000.
