JDM version 7 sti vs stage 2 srt-4 (vid included)

**psychobooe** · 02-26-2005 08:44 AM

Once my baby hits about 150,000 miles in a couple years, I'm going with a Ver. 7 swap. What do you have transmission wise? RA gears or STi 6 speed?

sti 6-speed and r180 rear differential. It's the best part of the swap.

I was under the distinct impression that any of the stage upgrades on the SRT-4 still nullified your warranty with Dodge.

i was referring to the warranty on all the parts free of defects. all the sensors and other sensitive material that you would have a hard time getting warranty from outside manufactures where with dodge you just take it to a dealer. also just with any other dealer even though it came from them as a product from dodge if you drop a clutch with any of the staged upgrades or any obvious power adders dodge exspect warranty work to be done. which you shouldn't anyway if you've already to the plunge to modifie your car.

last time I asked at a dealership, they did void your warranty an damage caused to associated parts, but it isn't like they would deny warranty coverage on a faulty strut because of engine mods.

No, I realize that. If you add an MBC for example, its not going to nullify your warranty on your suspension (Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act). But I thought he was claiming that it didn't void your engine parts, and I was under the impression that the Stage upgrades did in fact do that, which you further solidified for me.

Yeah, this is the year of the rotated turbo, and I've got a lot to choose from. GT32, GT30R, GT35R, whatever turbo element tuning is running... it's nice to know I can choose whichever one suits my driving style, and I'm not limited by my drivetrain or motor.

I'm thinking GT35R is a bit big for my application, GT30R sized sounds good.
