Default SRT4 + N20 (dyno inside)

I threw my buddies 04 SRT4 on the dyno today. He has a 3" exhaust w/cat, AEM CAI, MBC, and a NX 75.

The bottle pressure was nearing 1250lbs so I only made one pull on N20. He didn't have the jets with him to try to put more fuel in it.... Anyway enjoy.

Sorry for cutting off the RPM. I didn't realize it until just now. I turned the N20 on @ 3700 rpm. It would just spin the tires anywhere before then.

Those are awesome numbers. Now I'm trying to convince my GF to put some N20 on her SRT4. Would you mind PMing me with more details on the car, particularly the N20 setup?

Thanks,
Josh

Well, its better numbers than a Honda or so, but I don't think I can get giddy over 348 fwhp with a turbo and nitrous, no matter how small the engine is. Start pushing 500 fwhp and I'll pay more attention

I mean, I put down 320 rwhp bone stock with my '02 SS, and 337 rwhp with just an airbox lid swap. Factory horsepower with a full warranty there. Now I'm at 430 rwhp with heads/cam and still average 31 mpg and pass emissions. No nitrous, no turbo, just simple. Its hard for me to understand why some guys prefer to start with a small engine and do alot of mods to it just to run with another stock car that costs about the same.

Tony, you forgot about the basic power/weight ratio. That car doesn't make as much power as you do, but I'll bet it doesn't weigh the same 3,700 your car probably tips the scales at. You still have good 'ol Rear Wheel Drive though.

At FYI, there are a couple 500hp Hondas running aroud the Houston area. Good 'ol Cheesefrog's new setup will be completed by the end of the summer. The goal is to trap 150 MPH in a daily-driven, street Civic.

My buddy has an 03', NX 75 shot, !cat, custom 3" cat back, BOV, IC pipe, and some sort of aftermarket wastegate... dynoed 326 HP & 409 TQ on the jug. IIRC.... he did 233 HP w/o the aid of spray, can't remember the TQ # though. He's thinking it will trap 113-115 on the spray... sound about right?

My car put down 221WHP stock. I installed a MBC($60) and I ended up getting 260WHP and 325WTQ.

He has 4 bolt-on's. Not too bad in my opinion. I was really surprised it jumped almost 100 WHP.

A head and cam package for you is like a BIG turbo for us.

Some others with similar WHP have ran 115-117 mph traps.

There have been a few SRT4's break 500WHP on factory long blocks.

Nitrous isn't a bolt-on. Adding 75-100 whp with nitrous isn't that impressive in my opinion. You can spray any POS and make it run better.

Your car is a forced induction car. Much like the '03 Cobra, these cars are restricted in stock form. Any factory boosted car has alot of potential for easy gains up front. Look at the GTP Grand Prix, or the Lightning, or the Buick Grand Nationals. I'm just wondering why neon guys would rather start out with something that makes hardly any power and spend all that money just to make it run even with other cars already available from the factory with the same power.

I only paid $25K for my '02 SS. With about $3K in mods, I'm at 430 rwhp without nitrous. I could always add nitrous and see 500-600 depending on how nuts I am. Not a big deal when you are talking nitrous hp.

The SRT-4 is an okay car for what it is, but the entire 4cyl FWD scene has alot of limitations. Most of the faster "street" hondas and such are gutted out shells with carbon fiber body panels and no interior....just to run 11s in most cases. I guess I just don't understand that.

Ok, then he has 3 bolt-ons. You cant just throw that much N20 at "any" motor and expect it to live very long.

I didn't have to spend much if any money to beat/hang with the vehicles you mentioned. And beating them in a NEON is priceless.

There are many SRT4's making over 400WHP on pump gas with 3K invested. w/out N20. power/weight goes to the Neon.

Insomniak smoked a 400fwhp Neon with just a Z06 cam and Lid and headers, and cat-back, spent less then $600 in mods, that guy had boost control, big BOV, Nitrous, downpipe and some other crap I can't remember. And whats funny is Insom Z was running Pig rich cause of the headers!!! Its all about puttin the power to the ground, U could have a 1000fwhp neon, but if it don't hook your gonna get cooked. $20k for a neon when you can buy F-body or a stang for less, seems stupid to me, but that is only my opinion

You guys crack me up. I posted a dyno of a car with some basic mods with a good outcome. Some of you guys are acting just like some of the idiots at SRTforums.

As long as there are only two SRT turbos on it.
