Tweekssrt4's 2004 Dodge SRT-4

"Project Tweeked"

About this Current Vehicle:

This is my 2004 Dodge SRT-4 that I purchased new about 3 1/2 years ago. I purchased this car due to many reasons. I first of all wanted something really affordable which it probably that best bang for your buck. I also wanted a car that was manual transmission, 4 cylinder w/forced induction. I was either getting this car or a Cobalt SS Supercharged at the time. I decided to go with this car because I wasn't interested in a ION Redline and couldn't wait for the Cobalt SS to be released to the public. I got this car but not intending to mod it at first. When the salesmen had to take it for a spin and open it up a bit during the test drive, I was just shocked on the power and acceleration this car had just bone stock. I was pretty much sold after that. I got the car and at first only installed a Mopar Performance drop-in air filter. After that I started to change things like running the car without the airbox lid to get more air to the engine and I felt even more throttle response. I later on decided to install a K&N Cold Air Intake system and I felt a bit of a difference in power just from that. I told myself that this would be fast enough for me and didn't really feel like spending much money on the car. Once I installed my first mod you can't stop modding with these cars. My next mods after the intake were Mopar Short-Throw shifter, (Race) Motor Mount inserts, Mopar 2.5" Cat-back, Stage 1 PCM, Needswings 3" catless downpipe with 3" cutout & PTP WGA. After those mods the car felt a lot quicker for just minor bolt on's. This past winter I decide to go all out with this car. I ordered a laundry list of mods. I was going Mopar Stage 3 w/toys & TiAl wheel turbo upgrade kit and needed to be ready with all the bolt on's I would need. I ordered my kit on March 1st, 2008. The first things I started to order were AEM Wideband gauge, Dual Aeroforce Scan gauges & 3 Pod A-Pillar. After that I believe I ordered AGP Upper and Lower Hardpipes with Greddy Flange. I was then on a search for a Greddy Type-S BOV which I was able to find a brand new one on Ebay from Japan and as some of you know Greddy Type-S BOV's are rare and discontinued. They also have a very distinctive sound. I also decide to pick up a Custom Tubes Inc. a.k.a. CTI 2.5" Hotside intercooler pipe due to the factory pipe have a flat spot in the bends under the oil pan. Once those were installed on the car, I ordered my Defi Blue Racer 30vac/30psi Boost gauge. It's a very cool gauge and only illuminates when the ignition is turned on. The next parts on the list were 18x8 Enkei ZR-1's, 225/40/18 Yokohama Parada Spec-2's, Megan Racing 32-way Adjustable coilovers, Stop-Tech Cross-drilled rotors, EBC RedStuff Brake pads, MPx Big FMIC, P-Werks Crash/Support Bar, & New Design Electronics TCS w/2-step. Once everything was installed and ready for my Mopar Stage 3 w/toys kit, I still hadn't received it after 5 1/2 months later and found out that Mopar was thinking of scraping the Stage 3 kits due to them being on national back order so I cancelled my order and looked for something else in my price range. I did recall AGP Turbo coming out with a kit about a month after I order my Mopar kit and went to AGP Turbo's site to check out their Stage 3 Delta kit. The kit came in 2 versions - Base kit which came with a T3/T3 base turbo, Manifold, o2 Housing, Dump Tube & Turbonetics Evolution 38mm Wastegate & their complete kit which includes all the above in the base kit plus SCT Flash Programmer, RC 750CC injectors, Walbro 255 Fuel Pump & Mopar Stage 2/3 3.0 Bar MAP/TIP sensors. I wasn't into the whole "big turbo" thing and knew I would need to dump more money into the car for this kit. So I did some research and found out that this turbo would spool like a "M" Stage 3 turbo. This kit was make at least 350whp/350wtq on just 17-18psi of boost. I contacted AGP Turbo and asked how much horsepower I would be looking at and which size turbine wheel would best fit my needs. I ended ordering the 44lb per minute wheel since it would make at least 390whp on pump gas and somewhere in the range of 440hp on race gas. Currently the kit is installed on my car as of now and running about 17-18psi and I gotta say this car is official Tweeked now.
