Default Rode in a turbo neon yesterday......

i was amazed at the power that thing had at 5 psi. its a 96 neon sport with a junkyard kit(saab t3, smic, ghetto-*** IC piping), but, wow, that thing pulled very good. people are always giving him **** because he drives a neon, but now maybe they will shut up.

The neon engine responds to boost quite well.

Not exactly... the Eclipse GS engine is the same as the Neon, not the other way around. 420A is a Mopar engine.

Much props to a different car, even if I think the Neon is a pile of **** assembled with self-tapping sheet metal screws. I'm a big 2.2 turbo fan... kinda hoping the SRT will take after those cars and not after, uhm, current neons.

Lotus assised chrysler in the design of the head. 10 psi on a decent size turbo puts the hp ~300 or so, which is about what the stock engine can take, boost wise.
