Dodge SRT4 "Tuner Treatment" Continues Through Mopar Performance
- SRT4 is already the quickest production car under $21,000, but Mopar Performance is offering even more power
- Stage 2 Turbo upgrade kit: An additional 30-50 horsepower (to 260-280 hp)
- Stage 3 Turbo kit offers the ultimate: Over 300 horsepower
Mopar, Chrysler Group's parts and accessories brand, offers a complete line of performance upgrades designed to make the ultra-quick and ultra-popular Dodge SRT4 even more desirable.
When Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) engineers were given the challenge to make Dodge's new sport compact even quicker, they saw many tuner-inspired opportunities. The SRT-designed upgrades include "go-fast" items such as turbo upgrade kits, upgraded suspension parts and transaxle modifications.
Dodge SRT4 owners have been raving about the Mopar goods that are already available, and they're eagerly awaiting the next Mopar Performance products to arrive from the Mopar Performance Parts engineers at SRT. The parts are - or soon will be - available at local performance parts shops and Dodge dealers.
"We engineered these parts with driving enthusiasts in mind,"said Dan Knott, Director - Street and Racing Technology. "Many aftermarket products for vehicles like the SRT4 are focused on appearance. We aren't ignoring that, but our main concern is improving the driving performance of this highly capable vehicle. And we do that through products designed by enthusiasts on our team who 'walk the talk' when it comes to developing credible performance parts."
"Our extensive line of products from Mopar Performance hits a home run in adding to the performance leadership of the Dodge SRT4," Knott added.
Dodge SRT4 was designed to appeal to the highly sought-after 16-to-27-year-old age group, but current sales statistics show that SRT4 owners span an impressive range of ages from teenagers to baby boomers and beyond.
Mopar Performance Stage 1 Turbo Upgrade Kit
Mopar Performance offers the eye-opening Stage 1 Turbo Upgrade Kit, which pushes the power and performance of the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine in the Dodge SRT4 to 240 horsepower and 260 ft.-lbs. of torque. The kit consists of four fuel injectors (2003 only; included on 2004 MY vehicles), which produce a 10 percent greater flow rate than stock injectors, and one Mopar Performance powertrain control module (PCM).
The PCM has been calibrated for increased wide-open throttle and part-throttle boost, more aggressive exhaust note during deceleration, improved turbo response, enhanced first-gear boost schedule for a higher performance launch, a boost hold feature during wide-open throttle shifts and optimized calibration for the Mopar Performance Blow-Off Valve (Part Number: P4510548 - sold separately).
