LOL @ NOS

nice ride! Any dyno or track numbers?

[Moparjim]

I have a black CSRT4, with the basics - Mopar Stage 1 PCM, K&N Filter, Irridium Plugs.

I am at work, will post pics later.

Where did you get those headlight lenses - or did you have them tinted somewhere? With mine being black, I am looking to do something like that to the head and taillights!

I'll have to go get a picture....I've got an 89 Shelby CSX, so the ones with the VNT.

Not mine (my front air dam is broken, paint a little faded in spots):

CSX = turbo dodge shadow?

Basically...but not quite. The CSX were one of the not-so-many dodges that actually went to Shelby's shop as a shell, and moddified all in-house.

From suspension, engine, even the interior were done by the Shop. That's not to say that it might outwardly strike someone as different than a shadow. Of course, prior to this, there were no TIV...and then TIV versions showed up in other chrysler products from 90 on. However, the TIV were tuned less aggressively (less boost/timing) than the shelby ecu's allowed for.

While very quick, and something like the 3rd/4th fastest american car of '89, they were also considered a revolution in handling for a fwd car.

What are the numbers for it?

Specs? Rated 175hp (same as the chrysler units w/ 3lbs less boost) and 2700lbs. 500 were made, 498 for the public, mine is #500.

One of the cool things was it was one of, if not THE first car to use a variable vane turbo....

0-60 varied in test from lower 6's to 7.0 flat...quatermile times were generally around15.0 @ 94mph, mine went 14.8 @ 94 at GLD back around 1999 bone stock. skidpad numbers were ~ high .8's with the stock GT+4...however, the upgraded tires (195's were stock, 225's optional) put you in the 0.9 range...can't recall what tires they were, but they were goodyear's as well. I have some very aggressive potenza's on the car now, and it sticks/brakes like I can't believe.

Turbo size? Was this a SOHC or DOHC? 4g63?

It's effectively a .25 a/r size. The engine is the tried/true 2.2 SOHC 8v K engine from mopar.

The turbo sizing might strike some as small, and it is...but then that was the beauty of the VNT-turbo...the vanes would orient in such a way to allow for higher vane speeds without running into problems with adiabatic efficiency that a similar sized turbo would run into at similar boost levels. Because the vanes could bleed off pressure, this was also a turbo with no wastegate....though others would later modify this in other applications.

i used tint in a can, yes its illegal, no, no tickets yet, not bad decrease in output.



to who asked about power numbers:
should be 300tq/hp at the ground, limited by the ecu severly

BUT!!

DiabloSport is doing all they can to crack the CPU to make a predator, as we speak.

im thinkin with the predator and bolt ons, you could get easily 360-400whp on pump gas all stock internals... and not gernade it


And wow you guys got some nice rides! any et's out there? when mine was completley stock i ran a 14.4@100 with a 2.6 60' lol but i had another run with a 2.2 60' and a worse time?

hopeing to buy smaller (18's) rims and buy some badass tires for summer, and go back and hopefully get mid 13's. it pisses me off the fwd'ness of the car, because i can run with some badass shit from 30ish+

I am going to live a little vicariously through you guys. Keep the pics coming.

I miss my old nSRT-4 although the owner group now isn't nearly what it used to be . Here is one of the only pics I could find of it:

[VroomPshhTsi]

I always wondered why Dodge went with the 19s for the CSRT-4. I know it's a semi-large hatchback but I think 19s is overkill. Extra work for the tranny and a lot more $$ on tires for owners. I think 18s would have been just fine.

Stock they have ran 260 fwhp. I've seen intake/MS1/plugs put roughly 290 fwhp but most have needed a downpipe to break 300.
