Feedback from all the SRT4 owners. - 5/14/2008 4:37:08 PM    VTSRT4   Posts: 62 Joined: 5/12/2008 Status: offline Im about to trade in my S2000 for a 2005 SRT-4 with only 6k miles on it. Im getting it off carmax. My previous 2 cars were from there so they arent a rip off dealership. I'd like to know from yall. Without destroying the warranty or destroying the car. What upgrades could I put to make this car have more power. Im not knew with modifying. My other car is a black celica with bronze rims(was turboed in the past). I live in Killeen Texas. So many of you srt-4 prolly have seen me around. Im usually at deepstage hanging out or at circuit city chilling with the blue SRT-4 and the others(forgot his name but runs like 12.9 on the track. Its crazy). Anyway, I dont know what parts of the car would void the warranty. I would love to get a HKS BOV or the Greddy Type S BOV. I dont know which one is more reliable, wont cause a leak and is fairly easy to replace with the stock BOV. Fill me in. Post #: 1

The question with the BOV still remains open. And if I would like to screw the warranty someday and put on a BOV. I want to find one that will not cause any problems what so ever down the road. I dont like Turbo lag. I want less as possible. Your help will be much appreciated. Feel free to give your own experiences on the BOV you have on your car right now. (in reply to VTSRT4) Post #: 2

RE: Feedback from all the SRT4 owners. - 5/15/2008 12:22:27 AM    VTSRT4   Posts: 62 Joined: 5/12/2008 Status: offline Some nationwide dealerships allow you to put on an intake and exhaust. I know a couple bovs just arent meant to be on certain cars. I mean this isnt a trial and error for me. Not when your dealing with a turbo. I personally love the sound of the HKS BOV.  I would like to know from the people that have already had them on their cars to give input...did the spring break, any leaks...etc. Im just trying to plan this out. How hard would it be to put on and what other parts would I have to include? (in reply to PSI Chick) Post #: 5

RE: Feedback from all the SRT4 owners. - 5/15/2008 7:12:07 AM    PSI Chick Posts: 4225 Joined: 5/5/2004 From: NY Status: offline the rice place isn't a "real" bov, which is why many people choose to use other ones. not to mention it's annoying as hell going off every 5 seconds, even in reverse. the hks is a pull-type bov, which means basically it's not going to break. the only bov that i would definetly not suggest is the turbo xs rfl. that thing leaks more than my sink. _____________________________ psichick.net (in reply to srt4ever) Post #: 7

RE: Feedback from all the SRT4 owners. - 5/15/2008 2:01:37 PM    VTSRT4   Posts: 62 Joined: 5/12/2008 Status: offline Has anyone heard of the stock Eclipse GSK BOV? My celica had that one. Compared the GSK BOV to the MOPAR BOV. Which one sounds better? I've never heard the MOPAR BOV in person. I dont know anyone that has one in my area. Hearing it on youtube doesnt help for me.

RE: Feedback from all the SRT4 owners. - 5/15/2008 5:01:53 PM    VTSRT4   Posts: 62 Joined: 5/12/2008 Status: offline I stopped at Deepstage today. I told them I was going to trade in my S2000 for a SRT-4. One of the workers said "Don't do that, they are the biggest piece of Sh!t. Your better off trading it in for a STI. I have to work on SRT-4s all the time because they break down too often" Another worker said" You already have a S2000, thats all paid off. Just swap the engine with a 2JZ engine". I stood there silenced and walked out. I havent heard of the SRT-4 breaking all the time. Only the tranny going out here and there. What exactly would break on that car first if it were break? It doesnt have no boxer engine but the engine sure is solid with a mitsubishi turbo. Im a car lover. I have an openmind when it comes to performance cars and a passion for modifying. What is it about import tuners that hate about SRT-4s? Honestly? Do they look at the price of the car and expect the car to be top of the line or dont ever stop to think that no america car has potential? Most of the people that work there have or do have either a s13, s14, s15 or just some old civic/crx. Do they not know that a SRT-4 could kill them in a race stock. Even if they put 5 grand under their hood. A SRT-4 owner here by the name of JD has a blue SRT-4 that runs like 12.5. He hasnt even complained about the car or else he would have it anymore. I dont know many cars here in Killeen that do run that low. If they did. Its either a funny car or some new mustang v8 gt/cobra. I dont know. Some part of me just wants to get the car and kill any import that gets in my way. Knowing I just spent less for an all around good car but I wouldnt do that because I know much better than that. < Message edited by VTSRT4 -- 5/15/2008 5:13:19 PM > (in reply to VTSRT4) Post #: 10

And yes anyone who doesnt drive an srt4 hates on the srt4's. I am not sure why and I really dont care to ask. Its a luv hate thing. I luv looking at them in my rearview and they hate looking at the ass end of my car....lol.....No you dont put the hks where the blue plate goes. You have to buy a block off plate to seal off the stock bov area, Its like ten bucks. Then you need a new cold side pipe to go in between you intercooler and throttle body that has a flange that will hold the hks, from everthing that I have read and experienced myself hks ssqv is the only way to go....As far as warranties go, I promise your gonna want to build this car and with the slightest mods your warranty is garbage _____________________________ agp ball bearing 50 trim, RC 750cc inj.,fuel return line, d-tec fcbc, turbo back b&b, husrt sts, big fmic, hks ssqv, warlboro fuel pump, agp 3'''' cai.

RE: Feedback from all the SRT4 owners. - 5/15/2008 6:56:10 PM    VTSRT4   Posts: 62 Joined: 5/12/2008 Status: offline Just for safe keeping. I've decided to go with the Mopar BOV and Mopar/borla exhaust. Only because so many people have them and having the car have a muscle feel and sound. Not that Im rolling with the bandwagon. Just because you cant go wrong if the majority has the same parts. I know the feeling of wanting to build this car. Its too tempting to have an already fast car with all these upgrades on the market. Slicing a second off your slip times. My decisions are hasty but its not my first turboed car.  I come here to relate to everyone and get help from the experience owners. Carshops will steer you wrong. That is if they are based around imports. Ive searched all over the forum and this place is better. I know Im a decent driver and just as long as I know what defects this car possesses. I should be fine with modifying slightly. Nothing to drastic. I have no one to impress or competition. Well, just myself (in reply to STILL GH3TtO) Post #: 12

Good luck with you mopar bov _____________________________ agp ball bearing 50 trim, RC 750cc inj.,fuel return line, d-tec fcbc, turbo back b&b, husrt sts, big fmic, hks ssqv, warlboro fuel pump, agp 3'''' cai.
