turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

ok my buddie is going stage3 on his 05 srt4 and is upgrading his turbo and i was wondering if i could make hisstock turboworkon my d16y8 ...if so how much $$ do u think its worth??

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

I thought the turbine on the SRT's turbo was built into the exhaust manifold... in which case, no you won't be able to make it work. If I'm wrong, and it's a normal turbo, yeah you'll be able to make it fit just fine with some adapter plates (and a lot more parts). I'd offer him $100 and go from there (but don't pay more than $150)

I just looked at a stock SRT4 setup and as much as I'd love to say yes I have to say no...

^How come it wouldnt work? Im just wondering.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

yea theres no way that exhaust manifold will match to the block

its also the same one they use on the ptcruiser if im correct since alot of their parts are interchangeable

see picture in rcalimnquim's post... that round thingie is the hot side of the turbo...

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

Lol, way to go dodge.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

I just don't get how THAT ever made sense to them...

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

cost... its a way for them to save money.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

I do not see how that is saving money...they're saving money on what? That's reinventing the wheel to me...and making it square...

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

when a part is cast they dont have to do many things to have it ready for the production.

its one of those cheaply made parts that they dont have to get specially made from a different manufacturer or have to get a special turbo that could cost them more money.

damn that sucks :( i dont want to spend 3gs on the edelbrock turbo ... i have to stay smog legal cuz of california ... so should i swap then?

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

You have to pay to play, especially over there in Cali.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

ya i know ... so now should i keep going with the D or swap for something better???

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

[&:]actually that turbo is made and designed by mitsubishi[&:]

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

wtf???[&:]thats not kool lol

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

KEEP THE D!! Just save up your money, build it, turbo it.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

keeping a swap legal in Cali, it'll have to be a newer engine than your car's year.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

i am keeping the D no doubt im gonna build it for another car andget a h22a for my ej8 :)

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

ok im undecided i have a choose out of 3 motors a h22a b18c1 and a b16a2.. so can anyone help point me out in the right direction.. i want the car to be reliable cuz it is my DDand have some power

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

Why is the b16 even an option?

My vote is personally on the h22, but I'm a sucker for h-swaps. Not to mention it'll be cheaper than a GSR swap.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

im iffy on the fitment on the h22's i like the b18 esp. since you can get more parts for them imo.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

^ what about the fitment on the h22? You have to persuade one of the frame rails to move over about half an inch and the h22 drops right in. It's when you run an h2b that you get those lovely fitment issues that force you to raise the back of your hood. But yeah, there's a ton more aftermarket support for the b18, but don't get me wrong; if you look around, there's a decent amount of support for the h22 as well.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

ya i know im just undecied right now ... but if i cant figure out witch one i want im gonna end up boosting my D for a DD :D

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

A 2.2L has more torque that a 1.8L, I would that that should help you make your decision.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

torque is a lovely thing in a econobox like a civic:D

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

not reading 3 pages of this but i can tell you first hand that if this helps the SRT-4 manifold WILL bolt up to a 420a engine (95-99 eclipse/talon etc). not sure if any honda ex mani bolt patterns are the same or similar but hope this helps.

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

[:-]i have buddy with a eclipse thanks for the info :D

RE: turbo off a srt4 can i make it work???
 

has to be the n/a 2g. also if he wants to run it he'll have to get a different upper radiator hose. but it's a good lil turbo for quick spool and good up to like 300whp.
