MSP Upgrades

Personally, I like to see people with high hopes. If he gets 12.9 strip times I will drive to Alabama to to kiss the tread on his tires. I think it's great that he wants to make a project out of the his MSP. Think about the first guy that made a Civic out-run a Corvette. Bet he got criticized, too. It's going to be a challenging and expensive project, but it sounds like he's got his mind set. Good luck to ya and keep us posted on your mods and results!

Welcome fellow Houstonian!

You've got your work cut out for you if you want to see 12's. The car won't stall at 9.5+psi of boost but you might want to think about getting colder spark plugs, a FMIC and a turboback exhaust.

In no particular order, you'll need these to eat an EVO.

Colder Plugs
Front Mount Intercooler
3" Turboback Exhaust
Walbro Intank 255lph Fuel Pump or Peirperg Inline pump
Atleast 440cc fuel injectors
Lighter Flywheel
Stonger Clutch
Engine Management
Larger Turbo
New Forged Internals- If you want to be on the safe side
Misc. other things to keep the car in one piece
Tranny upgrades

Money's no problem right?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all this plus a stand alone
and dont get a lighter flywheel thats for quiker accellaration and less top
you own a turbo car you want more top end
then talk to carne about some turbo cams,so the exhaust opens erlier fastes spool
 
+ a port and polish
and good luck!
people called me a fool for modifing a neon but it makes it worth it when you leave then behind

a close freind got his n/a ford focus to run 12's and it wasnt the hatch back it was the sadan
if he could then then thses mazdas sure as hell can
and it makes it a bit easyer with a turbo
 
organally posted by tubo matty p The neon runs 13's stock and with the stage 2 upgrades through dodge I bet it runs 12's. You will have to invest so much time and money into your MSP to make it even keep up with an EVO. All the evo has to do is add an intake and he's smoked you again ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
neons dont run 13's they run 16's
srt-4's run 13's,different cars

great evo drivers will break into 12s stock which means bad ones will float in the 13s and maybe even low 14s... there are multitudes of msp drivers on here runnin 13s with not a TOOON of $$ invested in s***

Take your car and $15K to Perfworks and Andy Wanger.
You need a new turbo and all new plumbing, new intercooler, new exhuast, Standalone engine management, new axles, new transmission(none yet available), new clutch and flywheel, Forged internals(Pisons and Rods), engine mounts, upgraded suspension, larger and possibly more injectors.

That should get you started.

I'm telling you that there are a helluva lotta cars that can do it easier, cheaper and better.

the MSP was made to handle, not accelerate. The suspension is NOT designed to aid in drag racing. It was made to take turns...thats the opposite of drag.

You need to learn to think things through before doing them.

SRT/4 +Stage 1 + 3" Exhuast + Slicks = mid 12's.

True, but the problem is we have all heard these statements of his about 4000 times now and not only is money an issue but none of the people that start on this quest have 1% of a clue what is invovled.

NOw if someone came on here and anounced they had an MSP with a budget and a plan of attack in mind, then we'd be a little more behind them. However that is not the case.
 
Thanks 1st, for reinforcing the point I made earlier. It seems some people just like being argumenative.

the NEON srt4 is super fast.....I'm debating now. been reading their forum lately and it seems it only gets better from here.

I haven't been there much as of late but the only problem I ever picked up on was the clutch noises that didn't seem to actualy be a mechanical problem. I am not a fan of them personaly but I won't deny it respect either.

THere is a women up here, shes on there boards. SRTGURL, she runs the times I mentioned before with those mods. She has very little done to it and that its made almost 100 passes down the track with no issues. No MSP will do that running those times...EVER!
 
Best thread Evar.....







I want my Razor Scooter to run 11's what mods do I need? Money is no object.

He's a young guy with a little bit of cash but not alot of info about the car. Thats it.
No need to label him as a troll.

Muffler?
Shiftknob?
 
the SRT4 doesnt have a muffler and the one on the MSP is probably the same as the racing beat mufler on the MP3 just with a different tip
