TVS SS Versus SRT4 Stg 2 Swapped 1st Gen Neon
 

Camera Car - 1st Gen Neon, with a Srt-4 Stage Two Engine Swapped in (Basically stage two.., it's actually using a Megasquirt stand-alone step-up).

My Car - Mods in sig.. Current Bottle neck is STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLD..lol

Run 1 - Neon Misses 3-4

Run 2 - I Miss 2-3 (and throw my fist in the air..lol)..

Run 3 - Neon Misses 3-4 again

We are newbs.. :lol:

The video description is a joke.. i'm not stage x.. he's not twin turbo...:lol:

srt4 wha???......

nt bad congrats

shouldnt you pull more on him?

1st gen neon is 2500lbs.. thats a little in his favor..lol

oh i didnt notice it was a swap

wtf u talking about?

u mean a base neon with an engine dropped in? Or an actual srt4?

Why?

Base 1st gen neon (like a late 90's?) with a srt4 motor in it (the car had the 14's with hubcaps on it until recently..LOL)

why did it change? fuck man thats a sleeper until you hear it. lol

I got a free header that needed some work... and the work isn't done yet...(it was cracked).. i've only had the tvs on like 4 days now...

Surprisingly enough, boost still only hit like 19.5 when this was shot.. i was expecting 21 or 22 with the standard pulley restricted by the manifold. (I have ported the crap out of the manifold, but its still just exactly that, a manifold)

I'm pretty decent friends with the guy, now.. I met him because a base model neon BOV'd beside me in town one night and i had to talk to him! ;)

Neon is adding methanol and wants to race again... eep!

You raced like 40-70. Meh. Go longer. I'm shocked you bearly pulled him.

sweet deal mayne.

my friend was playing with the idea of dropping the SRT4 motor in his 1st gen, any idea where i can go to read up on it?

lol.. I agree we need to go longer, but his shift cable is bent (abusive lol?) and won't go into 4th fast... we need to do a race starting higher until he gets that fixed, at least...


98 Neon Coupe Curb Weight - 2384lbs
He thinks he's around 260-270 hp

06 Cobalt SS Coupe - 29xxlbs
I'll be lucky if I'm pushing 290 with the manifold on there..

I'd say it worked out about right..lol

Only 290? That looks right then. I figured you were pushing 350 whp.

Well I honestly have no idea what i'm putting down (I put down 272 before the head porting, dual pass and tvs).. but I'm guessing low based on the recent fail-dynos of the other new tvs cars. I don't know how much 2.5" Exhaust and a stock manifold hurts it.. but everyone says a 3" exhaust frees up a ton of power..

Another angle... but its only the run where i miss the shift.. and.. so.. it last like.. 3-4 seconds..lol

This brings up an important point as i watch the black smoke roll out of my car... AFRs were 10.9 at the time of this run.. (i made a super rich tune as a starting point)..:lol:

I don't get why you didn't rape him. How is it that your TVS balt can only barely beat a stage 2 srt swapped neon, but yet I can rape a 50trim srt swapped neon on my m62 balt?

If I had posted this without a video people would be screaming that I was lying and there was no way i could beat that.. but because I have a video.. I should've beaten him worse...sheesh :-P..

*insert f&f gay quote about a win is a win here*

FWIW This neon is 500 pounds lighter than a srt is...

I don't think anyone would claim that you should lose to a stage 2 srt, even if it is in a lighter neon body. You have a TVS.

Mine would be the one they claim BS on. But I got vid proof as well, and the one I raced was a 50trim.

I'm just trying to figure out how you didn't destroy it.

Either - He's making more power than believed... I"m making less than believed... or I'm so bad of a driver that I can mess up a roll race :cool:\

Also, just talked to him and he was spiking 23 psi, falling to 17psi... I don't know how that compares to a standard stage two srt though..lol
