318whp/313wtq SRT4 turbo'd 2.0L

[dunny]

I've posted this on a few other forums so I figured I'd throw it out here:



This was at 16 psi on a stock SRT4 turbo. Boost tapered to 13psi at redline (thus the drop in HP/TQ). Timing was conservative, AFR's in the mid 11's. Actually started the day at mid/high 12's for AFR and hit 329whp/325wtq but that was a bit too lean for me.

I'm currently blaming the drop in boost on the shitty stage 2 wastegate. Upon further inspection it looks that I have room to adjust it....it left it the same as when it was on my SRT4 and I completely forgot to try adjusting it. So I'm going to mess with it and see what happens....if it doesn't help I new one will be purchased soon and maybe another trip back to the dyno. I'd say I could get another 4psi out of it and hold 16-17psi to redline and pick up a nice amount of power. For now though I'm happy

The setup:

* worked SRT4 head with 2.0L cams (3 angle valve job, p&p)
* stock SRT4 turbofold with the o2 housing area opened up a bit
* SRT4 stage 2 wastegate (may go with agp version soon)
* 3" exhaust, starting at the o2 housing
* built 2.0L block with crowers/wiseco pistons
* new water pump, oil pump, timing belt (w/ mechanical tensior)
* precision 400whp intercooler
* SRT4 clutch
* SRT4 intake manifold
* 60mm jeep TB
* SRT4 stage 1 injectors
* 1:1 regulator, -6AN to and from tank, custom -6 rail
* walbro pump with custom feed mod (AN style)
* megasquirt v2.2, keeping stock ECU but controling fuel/timing with MS
* obx lsd
* lc-1 wideband

UPDATE:
I took the wastegate off and adjusted it. Boost is spooling much quicker now. Seems that it was not closed long enough before. I was able to hit 18-20psi but it still was dropping off up top. I'll have to tweak it more to get the tune that I want.

Old thread I know lol
But what was the weight of the car when you ran that 11.9?
my last neon was around 2280 last i weighed it, but I removed alot since
the current neon I'd like to get at 2000-2100 and keep as many interior panels as i can

I have a similar setup i need to assemble.
main differences are I'm using a 2.4 with SRT4 internals,using a 1st gen ported head with OS valves and it had crane #16s
Not sure how ideal the #16s are but i have a set of 2.0s as well
I think once i get a good on the MS i can see similar numbers

[neon_freak]

the million dollar qestion is how did you get an srt-4 head to work on a 2.0? after 02, they are a differnt design

[spoo76]

Not really, You just need to fill and weld the oil hole shut and deck the head. Its been done by a few people
for the record that would need to be done for the early 2.4s not justs 2.0 blocks

nice numbers. i'm hoping to get around the same area since we seem to have close to the same setup.
