These motors, along with the 2.0 L neon motors are common for head and gasket problems, and overboaring the bottom end will create even more problems. If you really wanna do something along these lines, go with a SRT4 motor, they dont have the same problems....at least as many....and will be better off in the end for reliability. I know it may be expensive at first, but in the long run, itll be even more expensive with all the repairs you'll run into. Trust me, I have seen waaaaaaay too many of these motors with problems. Why run the risk of having more?

The funny thing is, you can go ahead and build your motor, port and polish and do whatever the hell your going to spend an arm and a leg on; and then you'll be claiming to make like 400hp with your Stage 10 Port Job, and then you go and race an almost stock DSM and you lose.

Its funny that you admit you know nothing about building motors, do you have any idea who the people on this site are your talking to?

But whatever, get outta hurr cause its a waste of your time being on here.

However, for the record, i guarntee that a built 420a w/ a large turbo on it would SMOKE a 2.4l (common are non turbo PT cruisers / stratus's fast????)

Whatever, btw your banned, becuase people like you tend to come back anyway

So your swapping a 2.4 PT Cruiser / Stratus in to a 1st Gen Neon?

You could better use your money by building an RT motor (420a) and turboing that, you'll make much more power, and come out about the same in terms of the money you spend.

Plus you could save a bundle and make more power by using already developed products besides hahn for the 420a... There's manifolds and everything by others now. You could start with the right size turbo (instead of a 16g) and make some real power...

If the older ones are what is being referred to, then you are right. I may be off a bit but I was thinking of the SRT4 engines.

It is wise to do the valve job etc. but, I firmly believe that the $$$ spent in doing the full port job is better spent on the real power makers. Case in point, Nick (GSR) who posted on the first page has posted over 500 whp on a non ported head. I don't remember the exact #'s but it was hella big.

Your head will easily support well over 400 whp w/out porting. same goes for boring the block. Now, if you just want to build it up to withstand the power.... Then that's a different story. But the engine in stock form will easily handle boost. The only thing you have to replace is the weak-ass head gasket with a metal one. The things you are asking for are not really necessary if you plan on boosting it.

I find it VERY hard to believe that a person would know sooooo much about what he wants without knowing whom locally, can do the job.
