234CustomCars: ON A GOOD/SEXY DAY,this is a HUGE JOB for even the BEST shops/garages in the U.S.of A!! For someone to now tell me they wrecked their SRT-8 beyond repair but bought an SXT OR SE body and dropped a 6.1L engine into an engine bay that it wont even bolt into (different motor and transmission mounts........not to mention the brembo big-brake kit, computer system, completely different transmission, half-shafts, wire harnesses , cat-back exhaust and everything else necessary)and had this done by a NON-ASE-CERTIFIED MECHANIC IN................wait for it.................ABUJA It'd cost you more to get this insane conversion done than to buy an ACTUAL SRT-8 and thats taking into consideration that the 06-10s are now even going for under $20k!!! Negro you even said the car was so wrecked you had to get a new shell !! If the wreck was that bad, how in Saddam Hussein's name were you able to salvage ALL your mechanical parts from the SRT-8 ??Or whoever heard of a car that was totalled but still had all mechanical parts in perfect working order ? You were able to get your ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION out of the car but the TRADEMARK SRT-8 SEATS were lost in the accident ?? What happened , the seats caught fire but the engine didnt ?? This JOB would have been a FIRST OF IT'S KIND IN THE WORLD cos the PROFESSIONALS wont even attempt it. I WAS gonna let you quietly fade to black when I called you out for the fake SRT pic but you just couldn't walk away huh Any nigga who believes this fantastic story of yours needs to have his brain replaced with semolina!!!

You have a Dodge Charger. Be proud of it. Some niggas ride the bus, have keke-napeps etcs and they'd kill to be in your shoes. Don't make up bogus shit just to pad your ego on the internet chale'.

auhanson: I should like to try this out. Pls how much is it? Can it work in w202 Benz c180?

yungboss:
anything sporting a v6, Like you mentioned earlier?? Hmmm. Maybe you need to rest for a while, after virtually racing too hard...

auhanson: jacksolo4me, boys aint that bad anymore in naija,we are great, believe me. Actually, if know what you want and how to get there and you guide them well , they will deliver to you. You wont go to the road side neither to the servicing giant, but simply pay a visit to a good spare part market , for instance like Ikoku in PH or "Alorji" in ABA(pls forgive my spelling). I f you went there , check inspect the market first you will marvel at wht you could see and the untapped skills that is available , then you could be convinced and negotiate your bills. They will marvell at your ideas and you will marvel at their skills.

Mechanically, i have taken a 1.8 litre 4 cylinder engine block to bore into a 2.3 diameter that could accommodate a 2.3 litre engine for bigger piston strokes to achieve a 2.3litre capacity performance. This was amazing, the chap was accurate with the diameter of the bore to fit accurately with the diameter of the standard 2.3 original piston strokes, rings and gasket bought from the market. It accommodated the rings and gasket perfectly without any need for refiling(what you need is a technician with accurate sense of measurement and carefulness to bore accurate hole for the engine piston storkes, and a good knowledge of your specific engine timing, the right size of the the rings and gasket with the metals and connecting rods. Well,to cut the long story short, the car became a 4 cylinder supersport sedan..though i may not know how much horsepower that has really achieved,except i start going into the calculation of that, but the performances and responses were just excellence, way too better than the previous engine and it wasn't that expensive to do. If i had money for low end turbo and superchargers , they could have installed it as well, and port the cylinderhead to compliment the intake manifo & exhaust modification to prevent excessive backward pressure. When i look at it, the cost of doing that could buy a whole fairly use high end vehicle(AMG)

elbedso: Lol you mean you spent all this money on these fancy lights and you couldn't even get alloy wheels? Why exactly pls ? Do you have actual reasons for not getting alloys?

Specialist900: Bros no o. Go your own o

CityNG: Do you care to share what he did to get over 200 horsepower on the gas engine?

The diesels, being turbo diesels, can use Banks Engineering products to get insane performance increase.

CityNG: Disclaimer: No app will ever match the result of a true dyno.

But I have had excellent luck with iPhone/Android apps such as Dynoliscious and stand alone measuring devices like GTech Pro.

They get me to be really close to what real dynos measure.

I can make changes and do a run and compare results to see the effects.

To get reasonable improvements on a car, you will need to cram the block open and install stroker kits, etc (change from 2.0 to 2.3, 2.5 etc) improve breathing in the cylinder heads and capacity.

The only worthwhile external mods is adding forced induction or nitrous kits.

No offense guys but having spent the past 3 weeks driving in Nigeria I had no desire to increase the performance of my Isuzu Rodeo, why you guys are clamoring for more power is beyond me.

Siena: I can guarantee you, you won't get anywhere near 50hp. You would struggle to get 15hp with external modifications, on a naturally-aspirated engine. Exhaust, intake mods and a remap MIGHT net you 10-12hp. For bigger gains, you'll be looking at head work, and a capacity increase (strokers work well).

Or go with a turbo conversion. You can run 6psi with stock internals, larger injectors, uprated FPR and a remap to suit.

But no, the mods you listed will not give you big gains. They'll improve driveability, make the engine more responsive, and power gains will be around 12hp.

CityNG: This Camry has a turbo so it's a different animal.

The ideal way is to program the ECU for your specific upgrade.

The best way is to get your car on a dyne and then program a chip for that.

Most of us can't so the really good shops will ask you for your upgrades and then program a chip based on previous experiences.
