Re: Make it go Faster?
The Engine computer was changed in 2003 to a Next Generation Controller. I haven't seen much in the way of parts or ECUs after 2003. You may have a difficult time finding much of anything since the Neon have gone away.
In 2003 the compression was reduced to 9.3:1 which is good for mild turbo charging. If you have $5000 to spend you could have a turbo put on it without having to rebuild the engine. You can safely get 6-8psi boost with good tuning and an intercooler. |

Re: Make it go Faster?
A speeding ticket in Virginia has gone up in cost. Going 20 mph over the limit now costs $3550, plus 6 points. This doesnt count the increase in insurance premium for 3 years.

Re: Make it go Faster?
They now make a after market ECU for the 03's made by AFX. GO to
www.howellautomotive.com and look, it bypass a few sensors and also take the electronic limitations out so you can go faster, and sorry in advanced for spelling. |
