Twin Turbo SRT-4 Options

[bloodrain]

just for anyone interested in an SRT-4 they are currently in the process of making a Twin Turbo kit that is very near completion. They are supposed to take it to the dyno and get some real numbers out of it and it should be for sale within the next few weeks. Now im definatly getting an SRT-4.

1 turbo for lower RPM's, the other kicks in at higher rpms. Oh not to mention the estimated 450 whp it can produce. Everyone knows SRT-4's are awsome from a roll, but with this setup they are trying to make it awsome from a dig as well as a roll. There goal is a daily driver, 400 whp, running 10's. I dunno about you but that sounds pretty amazing for a car that only cost $20,000 brand new, and another $2000 for the kit. So at most $25,000 for a car that can outrun vette's, vipers, and pretty much everything on the street, sounds like a good deal to me.

ever hear of a 2step limiter?

you can run 1 big turbo and use a 2step on the launch. a lot of srt4 guys have it, I have it on my WRX. it puts a load limit at an RPM you select. you simply press and hold the button then floor the car. it will hold that preset RPM and make boost, while going 0mph. my car makes 7-10psi when i 2step it.

it not lag that hinders the SRT4 from a dig, its the FWD. slicks, suspension, and 2step help out a lot

oh and BTW, since that kit is using twin stock turbos, its not a sequencial setup. both will come on boost at the same time, which will be later than when boost kicks in on a stock srt4. especially if you go with the clipped option(only 1.2l of displacement to spool each turbo)

I'd buy an SRT4 in a heartbeat, if it were RWD and 1000x better looking, and not a dodge.

LOL yeah Dodges are POS's

[x_itchy_b_x]

yeah id buy one also if they were:
not the domestic civic.
wicked ugly sinced they developed from a neon lol
and i wouldnt wanna be put in the same class of people who own them.
zomg a BOV no wayyyyy. every srt owners first "mod"

so yeah i dont see myself buying one.
but yeah cool idea but id rather a single turbo.

[boosted_K2]

id take a neon SRT-4 ADOTW over the caliber SRT-4... even with AWD.

[bloodrain]

SRT4's are still 1) hell of alot faster than a celi 2) 4 doors so its more practical 3) easy as hell 2 mod

[BBoYRuGGeD]

my personal experience from friends owning SRT4's are that they break quick stock...but break even quicker modded. lol i'd never buy one but hell they are QUICK as hell

bboy

honestly

i have a friend with an 05 srt4 and he beat the **** out of that car from day one

nothing has broken

and when you are making a lot of power, yes, you can easily destroy your motor when you make a mistake

[dustinkemp]

i wanna get one (thinkin about it after i get some more money saved up) i even looked into insurance and it $50 cheaper a year than it is to insure the celi. so i dunno what i wanna do cause i love the celi so much!

[bloodrain]

i like my celi but its starting to get old, i dunno what I wanna do anymore. I really want a 350z also, its more of a grown kids car.

[fastgt]

I dont see the point of putting that much power to the front wheels.....those cars already have wicked bad torque steer. And dont get me started with that POS neon with a turbo. same neon suspension...same neon looks....with a turbo.....the rear windows on manual not electric...ITS AMERICAN...

im sorry i just hate those cars.....i get a bunch of punk kids trying to race me when i drive my Z....they hurt my eyes...........argh...../rant

now do you hate the car or the driver? sounds like its a great setup and also will be a monster of a car when it is set up right. with all the advancements and after market support for cars you can get a FWD car to hook up just as good as any RWD or AWD. ive seen FWD cars set up properly out launch AWD and RWD cars from a dig. the way i see it this car is a great tuner car.

1 > the price of the car is great.
2 > a few bucks and you have a car that can basically out run most of the cars on the street.
3 > with the same amount of money you would spend on a honda/toyota/nissan/acura you can easily get a SRT4 do a few dollar mods and run with the big boys.

seems to me that the only reason most people bag on the car is becuase they know its faster then theres stock, and insanely fast when hooked up.

Ps . yes i know i cant spell.

very well said. and who cares if its american, thats like being white and hating white people, support your country ffs

If it came in a 2 door, it would be a lot more apealling to me. But I would buy one if that was my budget. Anyone remember the old Shelby Omni Turboes? Carol Shelby said he would put one up agaisnt a Shelby Mustang any day. This is shows that Dodge as been in the turbo game for a while, and they've made a couple fast 4cylinder turboes. The old Omni's aren't known for they're reliability in turbo form, but they kick but in NA form. They also get upwards of high 30s low 40s mpg turboed and really great NA.

seriously, take a FWD, AWD, and RWD, give them all the same power to weight ratios and similar suspension setups/mods.

the fwd one will be the slowest out of the hole, every time, given equal drivers

it will take a lot of work, and a large loss in driveability to get a FWD car to out launch an AWD car. i pull of 1.8 60ft's in my WRX on a soft launch(stock tires, springs and antilift kit). now that i have the STI 6spd, i now have a LSD front diff and 65% of my power is sent to the rear wheels. i have gobs of traction now where as before if i launch too hard, the front tires would spin

the best i have personally seen an srt4 with stock tires do is 2.2. few manage to pull off 2.0's. most of the FWD cars i have seen at the track with street tires get 2.5+ 60ft

SRT4's are still 1) hell of alot faster than a celi 2) 4 doors so its more practical 3) easy as hell 2 mod

so is a evo or a wrx sti for about the same cost and in my opion much more dependable

... look at what you just wrote. The srt4 will cost you $20k brand new, you spend $3000 on the stage 3 w/ toys. Thats a low 13's car for $23k. A brand new Evo MR that runs low 13's out the box is $37k. So $14k less and you have the same speed without AWD. And have you ever done the research on the evo? lol if so I know you didnt put the word Evo and reliable in the same sentence. www.evolutionm.net check up on them.

[bigal004321]

WHo the hell wants a Neon look? that is why you are getting made fun of. Saying i have the fast srt-4 is like saying you are the smartest kid with down syndrome. The only good thing about dodge is if they are in the demolition derby. Neons are the most unreliable car made by any car manufacturer in like 30 years. I would take a ford tempo over a srt-4.

people have hit 12's on the stock turbo

stage 3 is good for low low 12's. i think some have hit 11's

my friend just got a 2006 evo(not an MR, which is $4k more for almost nothing) for $30k out the door. msrp on an srt4, when they were still making them, was 21.9K.

so if you want a brand new car, you are SOL if you want an srt4(unless you wait for the ugly ass caliber srt4). maybe a few dealers have 1 or 2 left. or you could go with a cobalt SS/SC

are you speaking from first hand experience? did you own an srt4? did it break down on you a lot?

the only reason people make fun of them is because they offer up cheap speed and power. evo's are ugly, wrx's and sti's are ugly, F bodies are ugly. just because the car is ugly, it does not change what the car is designed and built to do

a fast car is a fast car, plain and simple

like i said earlier, i have a friend with an SRT4 and right when he drove it off the lot he started beating the crap out of it and hasnt stopped. not a single problem has come up. my cousin is a sales manager at the local dodge dealership and he doesnt see SRT4's comming in left and right for repairs

i would drive an srt4 in a heart beat if someone gave it to me.

please note, i own a 2004 WRX

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I don't know why everyone bashes on the SRT-4 for looks. If you're going to bash on it, bash on the Lancer too. It's pretty ungly in it's lower form. Those cars are junk too. Same as the base model Neons. Impreza is the only one that always looks good. But the new ones are a little iffy in my book.

[Rjb23]

My friend has a 05 srt4 and it is pretty nice. It's quick and has torque out the ying yang. It has an lsd tranny, but still has major torque steer. And a 400 whp srt will not run 10's a locla guy around here has 490 to the wheels and he has nitrous so I'm sure he is over 500 to the wheels and he only ran 11.3 cus he can't get traction.

I think if you could hook it up right, you could get 500hp to 10 seconds. You would have to make the car almost unstreetable to do it though.

[Rjb23]

Maybe but the stock tranny has lsd and he was running slicks, and set up his suspension for it to.
