I didn't swap the srt 2.4. I just used alot of srt parts. The amount spent was more then just the motor. It included suspension too as well as alot of other stuff. The biggest difference between this car and buying an srt was the fact that a stage 3 couldn't even keep up with it.

I'm not completely sure. I know the shadows can be built into a real nasty racer

hey man its me again!!!lol anyways im gettin close to doin my swap but i know u will answer my question. did u use a srt ecu or the stock 2.0 ecu? and do u need to do the newer dash harness for the gauges to work and accesories along those lines? thanks man

[spudsterier]

@censucks stock 2.0 ecu.

if you use an srt4 ecu, then you will need the whole dash harness, gauge cluster, engine haness, and a bunch more stuff

how much money am i looking at if i get the same setup as you?..how much was the turbo and how much am i looking for labor with the parts u installed?

[spudsterier]

@itsusdammit ......i had about 100 hours into the whole install and tune......if i would have takin it to a normal shop, $80 an hour at 100 hours, thats another $8000

I didn't realize it was that expensive to swap the srt into the old neon... Should just buy the srt-4. Seems more expensive to do the swap. I just bought my srt for 5000. lol Since it needs repainted, and was sitting in impound for 6 months.

Can the older k-cars like the plymouth turismo with a 2.2 be built up like the neons?

[spudsterier]

@itsusdammit .....just in the turbo/engine setup, there was about $6000 in parts....labor was free on the installation since i did it all myself......to get the block work done, (bored, honed, balanced, and everything) there was another $1200.....suspension, exhaust, lsd, brake lines, wheels, mounts, bushings, fuel system, etc...there was about another $6000.......

No I am buying the whole engine and replacing the stock engine with the 2.4
