:w00t:
but
:worthless:

 

You are right...so here they are...Ill be taking updated pictures every 4-5 days or so hopfully.





those are all i have so far... they are changing dash harnesses engine harnesses and all wiring which involves stripping the car from the steering wheel forward...yes..dash is coming out as well :smiledown:...but it will all be worth it when its done:Na_Na_Na_Na:

 

I cant wait and i agree with Jared

 

You are also going to need the 6 speed GETRAG gearbox & heavy duty clutch to go with it .Plus you will need SRT4 Front fenders & Hood & front SRT4 sub frames & floor extensions to accomodate the different position of this engine with its oil cooler, A/C condenser & intercooler.........easy!!:doh:

 

I will not, that has already been looked at. I already have tranny and i am using the intercooler i have which is better than the factory one...it is good for 600 hp. Well see about ac condensor when we get there,but it will look like an rt when.it is done

 

Yeah - That's going to be a major and tough build to do!!

 

Big mis.conception about the srt4's is that the engine sits in the car differently, etc etc etc..

If you remove the srt4 bumper from an srt4, the ONLY difference is there is a longer bumper re-enforcement bar, and that's only to accommodate the intercooler.

As he is already running an intercooler, im sure that its going to work just fine.

It will be a bitch of a swap though.. I want to know how much of the wiring you are going to have to change..

Im sure the can-bus isnt going to like different parts strewn about

 

I have all the wiring needed...ecu,harnesses etc...camewith motor...along with srt gauge cluster....i've always wanted the tach to be in the middle

 

you should put in a stage one ecu....and just so you know i am so jealous of that beast in the making. you are going to be smoking camaros for dinner....mmmuhhhaaa(evil laugh) lmao

 

Thats the plan on down the road.gotta take it one step at a time...and as for money... it has gone way past resonable already so im just paying as i go and ill add it up later lol

 

oh man, that is so sweet. i would love to do that.

 

i didnt really have a choice...lol

 

Damn..................

 

well... that's true. even if my car broke down i won't be able to afford something like what you are doing... would just have to get a srt4 and do that up!

 

hey all heres and update...motors out and they are cleaning it up a bit beofre they start the install....heres some pictures of the process and the old motor..






any questions...feel free to ask!

 

damn... looks like lot of work
lol

sou you can clean the enginebay...

 

it is and it needs cleaning...theres oil residue everywhere lol.. its pretty nasty

 

Could that of been from cracking the block lol. Looks like you did some major damage man

 

yes definitely....oil eveywhere...it was a pretty big hole lol

 

hey, can u tell what you need for this project?
would you try to keep the cvt tranny with the srt engine?
- brakes
- harness

 

i do not have cvt tranny i have the 5 speed....CVT will NOT work...if you have the CVT you sould stick to basic bolt-ons... header, CAI, etc... anything else will pretty much be useless because the CVT will limit the power

 

how much did you pay for the motor and where did you find it??

 

I bought the engine off a guy on ****************....he wrecked his and I bought the engine, ECU & wiring harnesses, intake manifold & throttle body, exhaust manifold and turbo, SRT4 clutch,dash harness and gauge cluster for $2200...you can find a lot of Csrt4 motors around but its locating the esential wireing harnesses and everything you are going to need as well..I was lucky enough to find it in one package...its going to be a lot of work but it will work nonetheless on top of that Ill have the SRT gauge clutser with the tach in the middle as well

 

I allready have a srt4 all i want is another engine to wok on, don't need all the wiring and gauges.

 

I allready have a srt4 all i want is another engine to wok on, don't need all the wiring and gauges.

oh...well in that case jsut search around on different forumz and search engines...that how I found one...ebay motors other srt forums etc...

 

you should clean that block up and turn it into a table

 

you should clean that block up and turn it into a table

might do that with the old block and make it an end table or something..its too small for a coffee table

 

damn nice idea!


****... thats alot of work so i'll better watch out for an srt...

 

the srt gauge cluster is amazing...it alone might be worth $2200 lol

 

the srt cluster with the advanced evic is nice. There are srt models that dont have the 1/4 mile times, lap timer, etc etc.

 

in the process of removing the dash...it sucks lol

 

i would imagine the dash is going to be a HUGE pain to remove, and not completely destroy. SOO much plastic to contend with...

 

That was my thought, which is why im helping and not doing lol

 

yea, i wouldn't want to mess with too much of the dash removal either lol.

 

Only way the srt cluster will work...it'll suck doing the work but i love the tach in center that much...looks so much better

 

ok i have an 08 and have al the goodies with it for the evic. Some 08's didn't come with them though. The one way to tell if your cluster has the evic is between the very left gauge that has the temp and fuel and the tach will be a button like the one for the trip. So if you have 2 buttons on the cluester you have the evic. Here's a pic of mine for reference if ya want.

 

Even if it has it...the actual speed sensor is on the hub i believe not the actual cluster...from what i've read it doesn't go by the speedo but the actual wheel hub

 

i'm sure you could probably get the sensor and have it work i would imagine.

 

Yeah. But that's also more money and more time...im sure from dodge it would be an arm, leg and neck lol

 

no aftermarket intercooler. I have pics if you wanna see them. The guy bought both totaled and made one outta the 2 the SRT was a rollover and the other was a front impact.

 

oh yes yes i read that thread on red forum... i would consider that an srt4 because only used the shell of the sxt...im just putting motor and clutch in on the 5 speed tranny...other than those and cluster...everything else will be R/T....gunna make it a sleeper R/T

 

youre not putting the 6 speed in the car as well?

 

Nope...going to see how the 5 spd does...bolts right up and srt clutch works with it also...gears r a little deeper in the 5 spd so im going to see how that holds and if i have to...get a 6 speed down the road
