Started the project in 2006... a 98 Neon,
Bought the Neon with a rod knocking, 2.0 16 valve motor.
I had parts for 2 engines, so I'm building a 2.4 SRT motor and a 2.2 Neon head motor. The 2.2 is going in first and the 2.4 will be the backup motor.
Turbotrix Racing now has a machine shop on premises and did the machine work for my motors. They have new Rottler boring, facing and head machines and regularly work on very high horsepower 4 cylinder motors.
Here is the Motor build
Here is the Transmission
More as I make progress
Intercooler, radiator and fan shroud installed.
The cage is In!!! A big thanks to Mike Radowski for tig welding the beast into this tight little space.
This is how it looks today, 07/10/08
