Just found your channel after seeing the RV rebuild. I've had multiple SRT-4s. Just sold everything I had over a year ago. 14 years of hording some pretty nice one-off parts. One car I bought was a rolled 1 of 3 Mopar built T2 racecars that had Viper Brembo brakes. Also had the ST40 Stoptechs. So there's a couple sets not far from you in Oklahoma if they haven't sold them yet. Look forward to seeing what you make of this channel! Good luck!
Top tip if you suspect bottom end damage, before flipping the engine over remove the pan so any pieces that are loose stay in the pan instead of going into the block
Check the clutch fork pivots points for wear. They usually fail before the clutch itself. There are various aftermarket upgrades / modified OEM pieces available. Also replace the pivot ball cap.
Love this car ! Was my first turbo charged car and I dumped so much time and money into it. The day I sold it was heart wrenching. Almost wish I had held on to it ! Awesome vids brother ! Brings back memories
hey man, have you heard of the guys using the steering knuckles from the PT Cruiser GT's on the SRT4? They reduce the turning radius and reduce under steer as well. (although with those sway bars under steer shouldn't be much of a problem anymore.) anyways if you could get your hands on some that would be cool! Part numbers are: 05272492AB (RT) and 05272493AB (LT).
I just discovered your youtube channel and Oh boy i like it. Great projects , great filming and i love pretty much all songs your using. So great great great keep going on.
I think Brembo makes big brake kits for the SRT4, if you can find them. It's gonna be less of a headache to find a good Wilwood or StopTech kit than a Brembo kit. Might also come in a couple hundred dollars less to.
I own the 2003 SRT 4 neon. Just finished lower rebuild. Just a FYI take your oil squirters out just under each piston and make sure you don't have a clog. One mine was partially clogged. Would have been a mess if I didn't catch it till it was too late.
Only options for the skittle are willwood fronts and you won't be able to bbk on the rear without removing the handbrake also if you're planning to run 15" drag radials you have to get some custom work done to the willwoods, may have been only 16" that worked I'm not 100% sure. I would just do stoptech slotted all 4 and get some russel stainless steel brake lines with hawk pads and give the stock calipers some fresh red paint, but I heard black calipers add like 5 hp per caliper 😛. Man that's a come up on that 2.6 stroker. Thing is hella expensive, not to mention how long it takes to get in the first place.
I myself have been wondering if there is a brembo model we can swap out like the s14 guys do with the ctsv brembo's.... I know you can get 6 pot willwood kits now for like 800$
man thatll be swee finished I hope your putting hbeam rods and forged pistons in it, youll be able to beat it like a stepheaded redchild and itll laugh at you. my cousins got a srt4 neon that he rebuilt. and its pretty sweet 418hp at the wheels bfor nitrous
Hey man I sold my neon and have some parts left have turbos an engine some mopar 3 d tails and some other stuff if you would want I’d sell ya it all on the super cheap it’s taking up space in my garage and I have went to a different platform! I miss my srt4s I just sold my 04 sy like 3 months ago
Only bbk worth it’s salt is the upgraded TCE Wilwood kit using the FSL caliper or the Stoptech kit using the ST40 caliper. The 12.2 wilwood bbk, its no better than stock. It looks nicer but will fade just as easy as the stock brakes.
I had an 04 SRT-4 for 8 years. Loved it. But I upgraded to a Focus RS 4 months ago. Needless to say I’ve enjoyed all your vids!

This man knows how to get things done. Good job man
I can't wait to see the engine finished
Cool to see the block from the inside. Definitely change all those rod and crank bearings with all that water sitting in the engine.
Make longer videos!!! By far love watching your channel because of the srt4. Keep up the good work man. Love it

You can make an adapter to pushout the caliper to fit 1/2 inch flat stock and bend to line up to rotor mounting

Can't wait to see this finished man I just picked up an 02 and I love the car man
SRT4 vids keep’em coming🤙🏻

Thank you for the heads up!
We need another jumbo video my man! You're doing great work!

Is there a wobble in the pulley turntable?
I saw that too :(
saw it also. haha
Yea modern performance has willwood big brake kits for the front
Thanks for making videos. I learn from them. 🤗
Amazing video, you are a genuine smart fella
Stop tech,will wood have a big brake kit 4 piston and 6 piston.
If you are looking for a big brake kit, go wildwood for the SRT4
Got a hell of a deal on that car being it truly was built and no just “built” on social media lol
again, keep em coming dude!
I myself have been wondering if there is a brembo model we can swap out like the s14 guys do with the ctsv brembo's.... I know you can get 6 pot willwood kits now for like 800$
Front pully looked bent as he spun the crank.??
Another fantastic video!!
Show us how to change the throw out bearing
Wilwood makes a 6 piston big brake kit for the neon
Can't wait to see the end result.
Subscribed. 1st gen neon owner here, would love to 2.4 turbo it, maybe some day.
vwkaferman do it! I built one myself. It was a very fun swap!
Another great video engine looks good. Be blessed
When your guy was rotating the crank by turning the pulley it looked like the pulley was bent?
yes saw that as well
man thatll be swee finished I hope your putting hbeam rods and forged pistons in it, youll be able to beat it like a stepheaded redchild and itll laugh at you. my cousins got a srt4 neon that he rebuilt. and its pretty sweet 418hp at the wheels bfor nitrous
Bro if it's a 2.6 stroke that shit's already done
I hope the previous owner watches these vids and sees the end result cause ya know damn well he will wanna buy it back lol
uhh, did anyone see the wobble in the crank pulley? i hope its not the snout of the crank....
Good job lol oil dirty pan👌🏻 good one
Surprised #1 rod isn't bent also if it hydrolocked
6:20 um that pully looks a bit bent?
pulley puller we used bent the pulley and then broke so had to shoot the video with a bent pulley
i want to drop a srt-4 engine in my sxt but it is hard to find a complete engine
Pt Gt's are easy enough to find and they weren't as abused as srt4's, then you just have to source an intake
Can’t wait for my srt4 swap in my sx
Replace the balancer with an ATI. Good pads, rotors, and fluid go a long way in these cars.

Needs a twin disk and bullit input shaft forget that act!

Someone died in that Miata by the looks of it.
YE BOY

Amateur
