First post, turbo stratus questions.

Yeah for sure. I don't mind figuring stuff out on my own either. Maybe it will be easier for someone in the future to do this swap with all the info compiled in one place.

No one would happen to have any SRT4 engine bay measurements, would they? Mainly from the back side (exhaust side) of the engine to the firewall. Just trying to figure out how little room I have to play with.

I would read through UNA's build threads. You can get some ideas from his adventures.

Those are really good links. SRT omni is insane! Gives me confidence that I can make my swap work. I'm ready to tear into this thing.

Me and Jay lower our engines out the bottom, but with a cherry picker lol. UNA did it with the jack and filmed it lol. He actually makes money on it it gets hit so often Car looked great for the $400 paint job it got. This was a great low budget build.

I would try to find info on the Mexico Stratus R/T as they basically ran the SRT4 driveline. I was researching this for a while for my 06, but have opted out for lack of money.

I've dug up about as much as I can on the Mexico R/T and I know that the SRT turbofold won't clear my firewall but I don't know by how much. I was under the impression that a PT cruiser setup may work but I just can't verify. An aftermarket cast iron manifold and smaller turbo should clear but I won't know until its all mounted.

Anyone make solid mounts for the stratus? I can make my own but I'd rather not.

Also, what's the most power someone has made on a 41te? Seems like most guys swap to the old 3 speed neon transmissions for race use on an auto. I don't plan on racing, but it would be nice to talk to a few people who have. I'm aware of the inherent weaknesses in the 604 but I want to try it anyway.

There's a guy on cardomain that built one for a sebring sedan. Very in depth. Trying to find it.
