possible setup.

well since making my car mtx using a 3.94 i also want some more power. this week im putting in the PT clutch. so the tranny can handle some more power.

i don't have a lot of experience with turbo's but ive done some research, and i know the main problem is controlling fuel and spark. my plan is to acquire a 2.0l sohc motor, tear it down and rebuild it with forged internals. i would prefer not to run a standalone but it seems necessary. my goal is to run the car around 10psi safely and use the car as a DD. im not one to go to the track yet but i autocross weekly. could i get some help and suggestions on what to run parts wise...

this will be fairly budget as im still in school ect.

thanks

note. links are greatly appreciated

For an autocross car, an SRT turbo is plenty, but a gear-type LSD is way more important than boost.

Im gonna go with the LSD, torque steer will be a BITCH with boost autocrossing not to mention how much itll help with handling alone.

im not really competitive i just go out to have fun. right now i wanna boost the car, then go from there.

for a reliable DD, don't go with forced induction since it will require maintenance alot more than a N/A motor.For moto cross, I would highly recomend a high compresion N/A motor with the R/T trani....

i already have the rt tranny, and i wanna boost. i think ill be more at the strip than the auto x course this summer, as my parents purchased a cottage beside the track yesterday

If you put forged internals you can run way more than 10psi

im not gonna run forged internals because i plan on purchasing an srt4 mid next year. i just want some more oomph for now

Spray. $600 with a new kit, less with a used kit. $60 to fill a bottle max, and you get a ton of runs out of a bottle. I picked up 5MPH at the track with a 65 shot just in 3rd and 4th. If I had hooked, and sprayed the hole way, I'd have done 13's, I'm sure of it.

Just for reference. I trapped 96 MPH just spraying 3rd and 4th. I imagine I'd be up over 100 with spraying 2nd also.
