I love these little spitfires..People look at me when I pull up alongside like I'm not much to be worried about.But when it's all said an done..I smoke them..Leaves them in awe!!!!
It's on stock wheels right now, but I plan to grab some rota slip streams and some r888s for the front but I believe the tire size I have right now are 205/40R17 kumho low profile tires. No issues with rubbing or hitting ect
Im doing prelim research on doing one of these swaps with my son. Only issue is im only finding automatic neon SXT's to swap with. which could be a pita. Also looking for an SRT4 parts car lol
They do have turbo manifolds for the sohc. It all depends on how much power you want. I'm not too familiar with the sohc. But I've seen people boost them. If you find an srt4 that was t-boned or rear ended ect, getting it for the right price would benefit your swap as everything second gen swaps over from srt4 to base model
I have an 05 sxt that is the same color as yours! 5 speed. I was thinking of swapping it. I have a ptgt engine, and then an r title srt4. But lately I've been thinking of keeping the srt4 as it is, fix it up further (passed state inspections) and then throw the ptgt engine in my sxt when I have it fully built lol. Whatcha think?
@@nasteynate88 well my red sxt has everything srt swapped. The guy I bought it from just didn't swap the engine. (Trans is a t350 and my ptgt engine is from 03 so that'll be fine lol) as far as my srt4 r title. You think I should keep that as is? Originally I was gonna swap to my other sxt as well. But you think keeping it an r title srt4 would be ok to do rather than swap?
It you plan to keep the R title SRT for your personal use and its already been registered ect in your name and the insurance accepts it it'll be fine. It may drop the insurance a little if you swap it all to the SXT but I have a R title RSX and it doesn't really effect much. I'd leave it. It's a true SRT, not an SRT swap ya know?
@@nasteynate88 yeah I get that. Originally the guy (matt) told me to swap to my mineral metallic gray sxt as it was nicer. However the paint is scratched and it's not in the best shape. Plus its automatic. I'd like to keep the srt original. Plus, if I keep my sxt i still have the 2.4 engine as a spare I could drop in lol. Gonna be fun. I might start posting videos of the cars on my channel soon.
@@nasteynate88 my srt4 I'm paying on, I'm getting for 3500. It has a stage 3 clutch and stage 3 big turbo. 3rd is out in it, but I can ride around without 3rd for awhile. I was trying to figure out if an r title SRT was worth more than an sxt to srt4 swap lol
I had a parts car I took measurements from. After I took measurements, I drilled holes where the OEM side skirts should be. I dont remember what the measurements were. But if you have to, Jack it up, lay the side skirt down where the body lines are, crawl underneath and mark each body clip with a black or white marker. Then drill them out
You can boost the 2.0, but there are limits. They do have an after market support for the 2.0. If you dont want to swap rather if resources are restricted or the funds ect. Id say boost the 2.0.
i turbocharged a first gen neon 2.0 SOHC many years ago using a hahn racecraft 16g turbo kit. Very fun, very fast, but very unreliable. Nothing beats a factory tuned turbo car. SRT swap it

Just curious but how did u get the bumper to fit so nicely and did u need to swap something out to make it fit
What tire size do you run an the 17 inch rims to clear stock struts?
It's on stock wheels right now, but I plan to grab some rota slip streams and some r888s for the front but I believe the tire size I have right now are 205/40R17 kumho low profile tires. No issues with rubbing or hitting ect
Did the engine harness plug into the body harness, or did you have to modify it?
Plugged in with no issues
hey man, do you know of a way to keep the old 2002 wiring harness and still swap in the 2.4l srt engine? is there a way i can still make it work?
Im doing prelim research on doing one of these swaps with my son. Only issue is im only finding automatic neon SXT's to swap with. which could be a pita. Also looking for an SRT4 parts car lol
They can be pretty hard to find, lol. Keep looking. They are out there. In hiding but they're out there
If you're near PA look on market place for srt4 parts. You'll find a guy named matt collier. He is the srt master and has literally every x100
y is the auto harder i just picked one up and plan on swapping too a 2.4t with a manual t350 or t850
Outstanding.
Appreciate it!
Was there a lot of welding and fire wall work todo this ?
No welding/firewall work at all
Does the front quarter pannels work with the 3rd gen bumper and headlights and hood or do i have to change all three
Fenders are the same. Headlights differ from 2000 - 2002 and 2003 - 2005.
I have a sohc Neon should I do a 2.4 swap or turbo the motor I have now
2.4t bottom end from ptgt cheep foraged block and grab a new srt head and computer and eBay turbo kit total cost 1500$ and ur ripping around
Not trying to spend alot

As mentioned in one of the below comments, a factory turbo srt4 engine would better suit your needs in terms of longevity ect
You could turbo your sohc and keep it at low boost. I'd say around 8lbs. If that's what your looking for?
Instagram dude? Nice build
Yes we are on Instagram!
I appreciate it!
How much did it cost to do a swap? I been looking for an srt 4 but all I see is $18,000+
Is it cheaper to do a swap? To buy a 98 neon sxt.
what i would do is buy a 98 and big turbo srt swap it
Buen trabajo 🇭🇳

Sounds like a solid plan! I'd execute it as said. You would use the neon SRT intake as well as the exhaust for your SXT swap. Update us when possible!
@@nasteynate88 well my red sxt has everything srt swapped. The guy I bought it from just didn't swap the engine.

Good job bro. I’m doing this exact thing how did you get the srt4 side skirts on? Do they have the holes that clip in just like the srt?
I had a parts car I took measurements from. After I took measurements, I drilled holes where the OEM side skirts should be. I dont remember what the measurements were. But if you have to, Jack it up, lay the side skirt down where the body lines are, crawl underneath and mark each body clip with a black or white marker. Then drill them out
I have a 01 neon 2.0 should I srt swap it or boost the 2.0
You can boost the 2.0, but there are limits. They do have an after market support for the 2.0. If you dont want to swap rather if resources are restricted or the funds ect. Id say boost the 2.0.
i turbocharged a first gen neon 2.0 SOHC many years ago using a hahn racecraft 16g turbo kit. Very fun, very fast, but very unreliable. Nothing beats a factory tuned turbo car. SRT swap it
@@drimmie i agree
@@drimmie what do you mean by unreliable? Ive been wanting to turbo my stock 01 neon with a automatic trans
@@troylinkjr5535 I wouldn't. I've wanted to as well. Instead, I ended up buying an 05 sxt 5 speed and an r title srt4 lol
Bro, tengo una duda, como te puedo contactar en facebook o alguna otra red social?
Instagram
How much did this cost??
Everything including the purchase of the car, parts ect. 15k. Engine parts were bought brand new at retail price
@@nasteynate88 lol I would sold u mine for less that that already done
@@Skullman7487 I love pulling them apart and such and swapping them, lol. I have a solar yellow 03 that's next lol.
