SRT4 2.0L cam swap

[vschaos]

@Selfsmart I do not remember off hand, but I had it made by a company that made one for their show car. At the time I was the only one with one other than that one on the show car. I believe someone bought them out and tried marketing the manifold, but people in the neon world didnt want to pay the price for them so it was dropped.

[Selfsmart]

What intake maifold is that?

[JasonMichaelDesigns]

the cams are from a 2.0L neon motor people

[Turtle889]

love the liceplate man lol

[vschaos]

no the cams were out of a 2.0 DOHC(dual overhead cam) motor.

[csimvwtnt]

isn't that a 2.4L in that? i believe the 2 liter engines were single cam.

[starionboi]

@csimvwtnt from 94 to 98 the Neon highline,sport, r/t had the Chrysler/Lamborghini designed 2.0 that was a DOHC.

[csimvwtnt]

@starionboi Yeah i know, but the one in the vid is a 2003-2005 srt 4, not the 94 to 98 model. the 2.0's from those years were all single cams. The srt4 and pt cruiser turbo uses a differnent engine, block, ect. based on the dodge intrepids 2.4L that has been modded for turbo, ect.. the 03-05 neons with the 2.0 have the same mitsubishi 420 A sohc found in eclipse's and varios other mitsu's and dodges. The point is, the video maker labeled his 2.4 turbo as 2.0.

[csimvwtnt]

@csimvwtnt but i guess that its how you read the title.

[starionboi]

@csimvwtnt Oh ok.. i see your point in a way but i got it... He means SWAP out of a 2.0L

[camarodue]

your Apillar is hollow?

[TheSrt4neon]

sounds sick and haha i love the license plate

[DYNO323]

whats next 2 the srt4?

[vschaos]

@DYNO323

1921 chevy truck that has a bored 396 chevelle motor in it :)

[byronbja]

@vschaos Sick!

[supradave9]

i know nothing about srt's but why did you use the cam from the 2.0l? is it supposed to be more agressive?

[vschaos]

@supradave9

They only provide minor benefits if you degree them correctly with cam gears, but they are cheap and can be had from the junkyard

[abmeraz86]

Whats the 2.0 L cams suppose to do?

[vschaos]

@abmeraz86

increase hp and tq

[toasteroven2001]

Sounds awesome. :thumbsup:

[RedCell117]

What tires do u have it?

[axeman0007]

Love it. Just running the 2.0 exhaust cam then? I've got this planned for mine with fidanza gears...what were your degrees of offset on the intake and exhaust gears?

[vschaos]

I have both intake and exhaust. Every car is different when you degree the cams....best to get to a dyno and adjust them to make sure they are correct. Mine were +2 intake and -3 exhaust to start in the vid. After I was tuned they ended up being +1, -2 and now have no lope at idle at all.

[srt4onr]

HELL YA BRO !

Gotta love SRT haters...lol

[SrtRacerBoy]

so did you ever figure out the power diffrnece?

[vschaos]

Not much. It was around 5whp and 6-7wtq throughout the power band. So not bad for junkyard cams, but really not worth it unless your like me and like digging into the motor

[SrtRacerBoy]

yeah, i have had a few old neons for racer beaters and have a couple sets laying around, i hear the 95's were the best cams because there higher lift, i have a set of 95 and 98's, and im debating on if i want to try them

[vschaos]

I would honestly just wait until you have money to get a built head. In the end you will be getting headwork more then likely anyway....just save yourself time and do it right he first time....thats what I would do all over again.

[SrtRacerBoy]

what type of head work are you suggesting, i can probably do it myself or have a friend that does that do it

[vschaos]

Well to do it correctly unless you have the machines to do it I would not touch it. Sure you can smooth things out and open exhaust ports up, but that is not going to help cams. I am talking about going with some Crane 16s or crane stage 2s, etc. In order to use bigger cams you need a full head job.

[sebmopar]

Its the sohc 95 cams the better, the dohc was all the same 95 to 99

[2004blacksrt4]

only the sohc had a more aggresive cam in 95

[SrtRacerBoy]

yeah, that was what i thought until someone else told me that the dohc did too, but i still havnt put them in my car

[2004blacksrt4]

someone else is wrong

[dude33694]

lots of blind hate on here haha

Either way nice work man.

[brennenrulez]

wow that thing sounds like a beast

[garrettc43]

what did u have the cams set at?? sounds nice

[vschaos]

I believe at the time they were set at +2 intake and -2 on exhaust. I have since had a dyno tune and they are different now....not lopey as it should be. A lopey idle is good for NA cars, but not so good for turbo applications.

[garrettc43]

yea i def agree, but the lopey will def scare off haters lol..very nice man, lata

[gearheaderic]

im just going by wat u said previously about it having more lift and DURATION

[vschaos]

1. 2.0 intake has roughly the same duration and more lift than the 2.4 intake cam.

2. The 2.0 cam also has enough extra duration to make a difference which makes it worth the swap if you do it yourself.

The 1st gen guys have been swapping in 2.4s for years now. Its common knowledge among us the differences between a 2.0 and 2.4 cam, especially after you swap in a stock 2.4 and actually become SLOWER. Swapping in a set of 2.0 cams make all of the difference.

[gearheaderic]

wow u do know that an n/a cam and a cam for boost are two different creatures?

[vschaos]

Do you realize that there is more to a cam then just a label? Try researching both the srt4 cams and the 2.4 dohc N/A cam. When you do that you will understand why this swap was done.

[NISMO7SX]

who made your intake manifold and how much did it cost you? looks nice!

[vschaos]

The manifold was the 2nd one made by a company who no longer exist anymore. I think I paid around $700 for it. I dont remember as it has been around 3 years since I had it.

[440exxxrider]

alright man thanks for getting back

[440exxxrider]

so the cams in the 2.4 are smaller then the 2.0 or the other way around ? get back

[vschaos]

yup. The lift and duration are larger with the 2.0s. Its not very much, but you can get them cheap out at the junkyard.

[depwater12]

Are those the cams from the 2.0 liter neon. is that what you mean?

[vschaos]

yes they are from the 2.0 DOHC neon.

[92DSM]

What all do you have to do? Just swap cams?

[flo1234x]

2.0L neon cam???? nice vid dude!!

[masterchief377]

Sounds nasty :D

What is your 1/4 mile time?

[vschaos]

With our track doing repairs or it being too cold out and track closed has kept me from getting good runs in. Soon though I will....just waiting on some newer parts to come in.

[SVPrelude]

Nice vid bro. Did you notice a diff? Do you know anything about the crane 12 cams?

[vschaos]

I noticed a difference, but honestly dont know how much of a gain you get. I think the main gain from these is that they hold more power longer than the stockers. So not really much gain..maybe 2whp or so, but holds more to redline.

[71ValiantSRT4]

Nevermind. Looked like Indiana plates.

[71ValiantSRT4]

Where in Indiana are you located?

[vschaos]

I need to update the video to a tuned video. I now have a megasquirt with it tuned so sounds even better.

[mmob86]

you sold me with the cold start-up, I'm buying the 2.0 cams tonight. That sounds sooooo beefy

[vschaos]

Sweet deal I got mine for $24 out of the junkyard.
