Where does the power come from in a Dodge Neon SOHC?

The most power will be found from a port and polished Magnum Cylinder head, which bone stock flows as much air as a race ported non-Magnum SOHC head. Also consider thermal coatings on the valves, and ports as this will again, increase power, reduce heat retention in the engine, and increase overall engine life.

What kind of throttle body do I need for a Dodge Neon?

You should also look into an aftermarket Throttle Body (TB). For an “unmodded” 2.0 SOHC motor a 55mm TB is optimal for both air density and power. However, the TB’s that are most readily available are 60mm TB’s made by Lorenzo and MPx (the extra 5mm WILL NOT hurt performance).

Where can I get a custom neon SOHC head?

Howell Automotives, NRGY heads, and Protuning.com, however, Howells work is done by the best in the business of custom Neon work. The most power will be found from a port and polished Magnum Cylinder head, which bone stock flows as much air as a race ported non-Magnum SOHC head.

What kind of intake manifold do I need for Dodge Neon?

There are also many custom intake manifolds available, such as Lonewolf, R/T Ernie, the “Ghetto Blaster”, and several others available to bebuilt to almost any specification you wish.

What kind of Cam does a Dodge Neon use?

An average cam used are the Comp 400 and Crane 14 which give moderate power gains throughout the entire power band. The Comp 400 was designd around te Magnum Cylinder head, and utilizes the computer controlled 6750 rev limiter by keeping all the increase within the stock Magnum power band.

For bolt-ons it is by far the cheapest up front, however, as time goes on and you want more and more power, you can invest enough to buy a second, and in some cases a third car. This IS however the best options for the daily driver/strip/autox car, as its much easier to stage upgrades, and keep power output to a manageable level.

Which is the mildest of the Dodge Neon long tubes?

The Kirk is the mildest of the long tubes, using the smallest primaries and the smallest outlet of the three, netting impressive gains over stock, but not the maximum gains to be had. Long tubes are where the ***** out power comes from.

How to increase compression in a Dodge Neon?

It should also be noted that any compression higher than 12:1 WILL require 100+ octane race fuel… Other options for increasing compression are milling/decking (AKA “shaving”) the cylinder head by as much as 0.060″ (beyond this you will experience valve clearance issues with the pistons) or removng the middle layer of the MLS head gasket.

What kind of engine does a Dodge Neon have?

It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder head. It uses SFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with roller rocker arms and features fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and an aluminum intake manifold.

How does a header work on a Dodge Neon?

Install a header. Your Dodge Neon’s intake manifold is part of the engine that supplies the fuel-air mixture to all four cylinders. A bolt-on header collects the exhaust gases from each cylinder into one pipe, reducing back pressure. Less pressure means your engine runs more efficiently, squeezing out increased amounts of horsepower and torque.

How often should I buy a Dodge Neon engine?

Experts recommend purchasing a motor that has an average of 15,000 per year to avoid the likelihood that the engine has excessive wear. You can calculate this by multiplying this number by the age of the motor. However, mileage is just one factor that you should consider when purchasing a used engine for a Dodge Neon.

The Chrysler 2.0 liter engine was first used in the Neon; it was also used in the export PT Cruiser, Plymouth Breeze, and Dodge Stratus. Its ancestry can be traced back to the slant six, an engine known for its durability.

When did the neon head gasket come out?

For the 1995-97 models, the Neon head gasket typically lasted about 60,000 miles. Most buyers who called Chrysler got a new head gasket for $100 or less. The new three-layer head gasket design was far superior, and one engineer said it was close to the originally specified design which did not make it into production.
