people making me confuse and talking about other things. i want to know if can 420a goes more than 300 hp?..if yea, then 1 day i will rebuild it my 420a and upgrade it.:hmm:
 
Your confusing us :confused: WTF are you even trying to say LOL. I'm hoping english isn't your first language, but sure it can. It could make 600 if you wanted it too. Engine rebuild, turbo set up, supporting mods, tuning, e.c.t. Seriously though your going to have to learn how to form proper sentences if you want people to help you, otherwise we won't know how to help you:thumb:.
 
look at it like this, can a v8 get 600hp n/a. answer is yes, but it wont be very streetable due to high compression and a huge cam. same principal, getting 300hp out of your 420a is possible but you wouldnt be happy with the end result. if you want 300hp, one word, turbo
 
thank alot for telling the straight answer. and of course i have to use proper grammar but im too lazy to do it LOL :banghead:

Hopefully that was a joke, don't forget the rules you agreed to upon joining the site.

Keep in mind this site has become more strict about stuff like that over the past few months, so you won't last long, and will find yourself in trouble if your not careful. ;)

liquidx beat me to it haha
 
Honest mistake LOL. I haven't had a grammar warning in the 5 years or so I have been here, I'm not always that bad LOL.

EDIT: Thanks a lot, now you got me paranoid triple checking everything I write LOL.

You forgot a period and your "alot" is to be "a lot" and "everyhing" should be "everything". I'll fix it for you. :cool:
 
How do you start a sentence? You use a capital letter. :p Good thing school is starting back up, I think you need a refresher course. LOL

The worst part about it is I scored very high in english, reading e.c.t, I just sucked at math LOL, and now I can't even write a proper sentence. Maybe I should stop hanging out on the internet, and pick up a book to get my sentence structure, and grammar back on par LOL

The reason that you haven't had a warning is that most of the Mods can't keep "your" and "you're" straight, either. tee hee

See you all in a week when I come out of "time out."

HAHAHA, it happens bud :)

Well enough of the fun and back on to the topic
DSM Dyno Challenge - 420a

3 listed as N/T and highest was 219hp. I'm sure there are many many others out there but this is all that is recorded on the site. As mentioned earlier, anything is possible with enough money. All-in-all it'll be easier to turbo to reach that goal but it can be done N/A as well. Most likely the cost/output is going to be too much and overly not worth it unless you are trying to set a goal.
 
I barely even post my own threads anymore. I fear the rediculous amount of banter.

"Rediculous" should be spelled "ridiculous" :p

As long as you make an effort it's fine. Don't be held back from asking a question if you are unable to find the answer, that's what the community is here for.
 
Did I walk in on an ESL course?? :)

Good luck with the engine build. I'm keeping my 420a N/A. Any mod that I do will have to be geared toward efficiency or neutral. I think it's plenty powerful as it is. I'll be fine as long as I can keep annoying rice buckets at bay.
 
420a is good on stock internals untuned to 381whp, no more though.

If you do go more, you'll fry your piston rings.

381? Do you have proof of this? Because that's completely false. Max it can handle on stock internals is 7lbs of boost, so you take the stock 130hp ish base rating and add that 7lbs of boost that it can handle safely and it puts her at 381whp? Don't post false information.
 
If you want honest answers you won't get any on this site. The users who do know the truth wont speak up because all the NT guys flame them with BS about how much potential it has and how much of a waste of money it isn't to build it. Not the truth about how you have to spend larger sums of money to accomplish less than you would on a 4g63T build, especially when you consider you can find used parts for the 4g63T for a fraction of what they cost new just about every day of the week.

Well, it looks like I just did.

Yeah, I would check out 2gNT.com if you plan on sticking with your 420a because to us, you own a dodge neon with a body kit.
