Srt 4 manifold on 1st gen

[Sweet R/T Man]

I have heard that it can be done but I am wondering if it is a direct bolt on or if some of the manifolds holes are a little off and what would need to be done to fix/solve the problem. Also with a boost controller is it possible to turn down the boost from the stock 15 pounds? Thanks for any help.

it bolts up but it may not clear the rad and fans.

[Sweet R/T Man]

The radiator and the fans are all up in the front and the manifold sits in the back, so i really dont think that would make a difference. Or do you mean if I put on an intercooler that the pipes that come up to the front of the car will hit the radiatior and the fans


thanks for the help though

if you mean exhuast manifold, it does bolt up, a few bolts dont line up dont seem to be needed.

[Sweet R/T Man]

do you just put on a thicker gasket or is the amount that will leak not very imortant.

[figment]

it wont leak, just use a stock gasket

so the srt manifold will bolt on to the 420 A engin is what your saying?

[Sweet R/T Man]

yeah that was the rumor i was hearing so asked a few people to verify and i got the same answer hear as everywhere else. Hopefully it actually works because i just bought one with the turbo for 250!!

Thanks for all the help!!

it will work, thats what im putting on my car, the only mod is the ports are bigger on the manifold so you need to port it a little to keep the air flowing smoothly. ive seen it done on neons before. but there is alot more than just the manifold and turbo to get it to work my turbo has been sitting around for 2 months ans i still need more parts, its tough to figure all the little things out especally if your a beginer like i am. but on a dohc with stock internals 190 hp @ 5.5 psi is about what you will get.

yes it fits, now if it fits in your car that may be a diffrent story

just because you have the same basic engine doesnt mean the rest of it is the same..heads and everything can be differant, along with set up in the car

[neondriver]

you head is a reverse flow compared to a neon so the turbo is on front of the engine. on the neon its on the back. it will bolt up to your head will fit in your engine compartent is a diffrent story.

picture of motor?check the link i posted page 3/4 has many motor pictures

it will probably just need a lot more custom work done to it but should still bolt up and work pretty easily.
