bonvo Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 im realizing im very far behind on updating everyone i already posted what i got for the sentra but this is why i got rid of it in the first place i enjoyed the sentra a lot but i really wanted a turbo and to boost the sentra would have cost around 5k then a friend of mine had this and needed to sell it and since it cost about 5k i went for it its an 04 srt4 so it has the lsd trans it makes about 14 psi stock and this one is just about as stock as it comes only mod she had when i got her was a manual boost controller turning the boost down to about 8 psi so the po's wife wouldnt kill herself and a 3 inch side exit straight pipe exhaust ive made a few little mods and i have some lowering springs to go on but this one is just going to be on dd duty till the datsun is done new wheels since one of the factory ones was cracked random pics plastidipped the front and rear bumpers eventually ill cut out the cross hairs its the one thing about this car that bugs me factory boot for the intake ripped so i threw on a cai hard to tell but the black is the same paint i used on the wheels for the 620 parts stash waiting for me to have time 3 Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hells yeah. My cousin has one running 20lbs boost, took a week to pry the smile off my face after he let me drive it like it was stolen. Fun little car. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 winter showed its ugly face so i threw some studs on the stock rims decided to get a little adventurous and took the head lights apart to paint some of the trim giving them a more modern look Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Also paint the flat "ribbed" areas black. Did that to my Volvo 850 lights, worked great and no loss in light intensity. I mean the area that is flat on the bottom of the lights. Not the lense part. Quote Link to comment

nl320what Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I had done-up a daily driven 05 SRT4 from bone stock to fully dressed out without going 2.6L stroker motor. These little 4 banger motors are forged internals, 4 bolt mains, and as is can handle 1000hp. Best thing you can do is Enforcer Turbo upgrade, 1200cc Siemens Injectors, Diablo Sport Trinity Tune, and join SRTforums to have the team build a custom tune for $300. E85 you will be right at 500hp, 91 Octane gas will be about 380hp. 1 Quote Link to comment
nl320what Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Its only a Neon Skin, everything else is completely new and unique to only the SRT4 or PT GT. Also have the big brother to the NSRT4, the '08 Caliber SRT4 also completely unique and nothing shared majorly with other models. These will be your best friends: - http://www.forwardmotioninc.com/html/catalog/page18.html - https://www.modernperformance.com/ - http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f52/ Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 soooooo i picked up a parts car since if im honest oil pressure is a little lower then id like (still in the acceptable range according to dodge just lower then id like) and i came across this pt gt dude went threw and replaced head gasket, timing belt, tensioner, and water pump then the clutch hydraulics failed and he gave up we agreed that if he kept his turbo intercooler and wheels i could have the whole car for 500 im planning to pull the engine as well as everything else i can use throw some new bearings in it just to be safe and then swap engines might get frisky and transfer the cruise control as well then sell off the pt gt exclusive parts and make my money back battery relocated into the back will re use this in the 610 1 Quote Link to comment
nl320what Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Definitely should get your money back with the re-sells.... That BWS kit will work great, we did have to go bigger exhaust and larger intercooler so you dont get alot of knock retarding timing, and more consistant boost. With the DSP tune, we had a 93 Octane Gas tune, E85, and Stock. The e85 was a huge jump in power above the 93 custom tune, close to +80hp over it. Good time to get the billet clutch fork and lightweight flywheel and Stage 3 clutch, you will need these.... especially the clutch fork before the stock one notoriously bends and your wearing your synchros...... $3000 tranny rebuild cost us.

bonvo Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 installed some new tail lights now my reverse lights should actually do something and new tail light gaskets so my trunk isnt full of water Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 finally had some time to tear into the pt cruiser 3 hours from complete car to front end stripped off and aside from axles and motor mounts engine is ready to pull and painted the shift knob because i got bored Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 today was the day i have been dredding for a long time replacing the throw out fork for those who arent in the know when it comes to the srt4's the throw out forks are make of cast iron which after a while actually wears away causing the throw out bearing to not fully disengage the clutch making for a hard shifting condition the aftermarket has solved this issue by making forged forks or the one i bought which is a factory fork with forged ramps for the throw out bearing to ride on got it torn most of the way apart today but hit a snag when the passenger side axle would not come loose i spent 20 minutes hitting it with a rubber mallot before i switched to a dead blow and brass drift so i didnt hurt the threads and beat on it for another 25 minutes with no luck so i sprayed the shit out of it with pb blaster and im spraying it every hour till i go to bed then tomorrow ill pull out the steering wheel puller and press it out Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 holy shit ok so the passenger axle didnt want to come loose from the front hub so i dropped the hub off the ball joint then the axle wouldnt come apart from the intermediate shaft after 3 hours i pulled the front knuckle axle and intermediate shaft as a whole but at the end of the day i win and here we have the problem you can see how far worn down the ramps the throw out bearing rides on are and the replacement with forged steel ramps so that this never happens again upgraded pivot on the left stock on the right 2 Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I had doubts when I saw the srt4, but this is going to be interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment
