30 lbs boost on a DD???

cbjones26 · Post by **cbjones26** » Thu Aug 20, 2009 8:09 pm

i have not seen this personally, i honestly think the kid is full of SH*T.
but will a 04 stage 3 srt with 20-30 pounds of boost hold up as a daily driver? this is with what ever stock internals the stage 3 comes with as well. o and i guess there is also a 50 shot of nitrous zex brand kit. that is hooked up to activate at 3k rpm? ... wouldn't that blow up the car?

i think stage 3 boost is in the low 20s. the stock internals are rated to about 400hp but with 30 psi + 50 shot of N2O, sounds like a bad idea. i would agree with you and call BS.

It's possible. When my car is all done, it would be a semi-reliable DD in the upper 30s. But the more you beat on it, the more problems you'll have. That and a 60k mile set of tires is suddenly good for 500 miles.

Considering mine is a DD and i'm spiking roughly 25lbs or so, yeah, not to unbelievable.

With a good tune, methanol and proper hardware I don't see it impossible. Of course the spray seems a little far fetched and i've never head of a S3 @ 30lbs

The boost isn't the issue. The issue is that much boost from a stage 3 turbo. If all he has is the stage 3 kit he isn't running that much boost.

like i said i have not seen this car, all i know is what i was told at the garage where im buying a 2000 5spd neon. one of the mechanics said a friend of his in GA has a stage "4" srt-4and i corrected him that they didnt make a stage 4 ( or do they?) then he went on telling me it had 30 lbs of boost and it was a daily driver blah blah blah.... im thinking the guy is just making some of it up bc i was telling him what my plans are for the 5 spd ( that i just put a down payment on) why do u say that a stage 3 isnt boosted that much anyways? if its a bigger kit coulndt it handle more boost? i know im a noob to all this stuff..

AGP offers a Stage 4 kit. Passt has it.

You would have to turn up the boost, a standard Stage 3 setup does not run that much pressure.

o wow learned something new today.. ill try and see if i can get pic's of the car and post them on here.

Yeah those Stage 3 owners are d-bags.

Kid is probably full of shit he is rounding up probably. I am spiking 26lbs on Stage 3 with just a aftermarket WGA. So 30 could happen, not really a good idea if you don't have meth or race gas with 30.

this is with what ever stock internals the stage 3 comes with as well

What?

So you're a noob to all this and dont know much, yet you're telling this guy stuff about a car you know nothing about?

Just getting my facts straight...

Lol @ correcting Stage 4. My friend has it from AGP as well.

ya i thought i read on here that its not good to have to much boost with a dd.

MyNeonSaysHi- what ever interal engine parts are in a base srt-4 is what he said he had on his stage 3 turbo set up.... unless i miss understood him. i thought a stage 3 srt-4 had diff internals but he told me no? and that all he has is a stage 3 turbo? but idk maybe the guy i talked to miss spoke? keep in mind the guy tellin me all this isnt the one that owns the neon its one of his friends car that lives in GA

and he didnt have any pics i talked to him today but he said he will try to get some engine shots of it for me.

All SRT-4 motors are 100% the same. The "Stages" were only upgrades that could be purchased, none came with them from the factory.

Stage 3 does not put out enough power to max out even the stock internals.

ooo.. didnt know that either.. i thought there was diff internals on the diff stages. maybe he isnt full of BS... just sounded like alot of boost for a daily driver to me..

Most likely he is blowing some smoke up your ass...but it could be close but he is fudging some numbers to make the story a little better than it ever could have been.

True, unless you add nitrous!

FWIW the lbs of boost have nothing to do with anything. You can make 1,000hp on 6lbs of boost, it just depends on what is delivering it.

My smallblock make 700 on 6psi depending on the dyno and weather. It's the blower (F1A) that matters. 6Psi on a T70 only got me 550 on the same set-up.
