Installation should take between 8-10 hours of work, depending on you. I use to have one on another neon and I know quire a few people who have and they absolutely love them. With the Stage 1 or 2, you don't need to do anything else to your engine. The stock internals can hold the 5-7psi of boost. I would go with the Stage 2 and get the intercooler also.

to acheive around 325 horsepower what would I need to do in the motor and how much boost would I need to run? does valve springs help much?

I would say you would need all the internals, rods, pistons, upgraded lifters and springs, port and polished intake, bigger TB, UDP, bigger exhaust, race cams and adjustable cam gears at around 10-15psi of boost. If that doens't get you there, then add a 50-75 shot of nitrous.

Its a project I dont want to go half assed I would rather go all out. Im tired of people trash talking neons. How much boost would be safe to run on a motor with all you mentioned?

i redid the entire engine. from the bottom up. took alot of money, but if you have a goal, it shouldn't matter. right now i am running 22psi, and a 35 shot of nos. detonation factors are a bit higher, but you just gotta use it to your best knowledge. i also have a race block and head installed, but it is a SOHC....but, in order to achieve all this, you gotta do some major internal work. change out everything. no simple 'walk in the park'. but, it can be done. just watch your boost levels though...

If you want all out drag, then 20+ and you should be good if you have all the internals upgraded. You might want to invest in some prothane motor mounts and some upgraded axles while you are at it.

I already got some inserts I got my car with a broken motor mount replaced and it broke that one.

what compression of pistons should I get?

what compression of pistons should I get?I'd go with the JE Turbo pistons...DOHC 8.8:1...SOHC 9.2:1 Compression.

yea I mean want else would I would have to do the motor to be able to use those high compression pistons?

[i have a good friend that has a 97 sohc, he turboed it and he is running 36 pounds of boost, he runs 11.4. i will get what he has done to his car and get back to you. i just know that he has dumped bout 27g's in it, an srt4 would run like an mivi van compared to his car, and the thing is it looks totally stock. ill get pics also.

What is the difference b/w the Big 16G and the Super 16G. Will they both work in a 1st gen Neon???? Thanks

[i have a good friend that has a 97 sohc, he turboed it and he is running 36 pounds of boost, he runs 11.4.With that much boost, I doubt anything internal is stock. If so, just wait for the big boom!
an srt4 would run like an mivi van compared to his car, and the thing is it looks totally stock. ill get pics also.A stock SRT maybe but not some of the SRT's I have seen. But that is a good time regardless if it's SOHC or DOHC.

ThanksBig 16G has a HP max rating of 340-380 HP and the Super 16 has a max rating of 625 HP and about a $400 price in difference. Yes both can be used on the neon. Hahn uses the Super 16G on the kit for the neon.
