This old lump of coal is my past 2003 SRT-4. I purchased it from a guy who had it built by a SRT-4 enthusiast in San Antonio, TX named PJB Werks. Pretty cool group of guys. I follow them on Facebook at times. They have some pretty nasty neons pushing past 800hp. This car when I purchased it was making around 350hp at the time.I used the money I sold an 07' Wrangler TJ to purchase this car for $6,500 back in 2017. Wanted something more "fun" to drive and these little gremlins where on my bucket list.

Story of the car is: I picked the car up in my early stages of "tuning" cars. The car hit the dyno and ran out of fuel at around 5800 rpm at around 315 hp, 372 ftlbs tq. It needed bigger injectors to get past 22 psi of boost so I purchased the FIC 1350cc injectors to help the car get the fuel it needed. I ended up wiring in the injector pig tails at my tuners dyno shop while it sat cooling off in the parking lot. I was in a rush and wanted to check that the injectors would work before I buttoned everything back up. I forgot that I didn't heat shrink the spliced wires to the injectors and started the car. The positive and negative wires of one injector touched, once the car turned on and vibrated. That shorted out one of the injector drivers in the stock stage 3 PCM. So I had a paperweight in the parking lot at that moment.
My tuner was able to resource and overnight a Haltech 1500 ECU and we installed that onto the car. Went and made some pulls on the mustang dyno and it made 389 hp at 428 ftlbs TQ at 4300 rpm before the fuel pump crapped the bed. I went back and replaced the fuel pump with a bosch 044 unit the next day and returned that next night. The car screamed up to 6800 rpm redline at 500+TQ and 490ish HP IIRC at 35 psi on e85. Boy was she a monster then! Drove the car for another year and took it with me to my next duty station here in Virginia. I couldn't get the A/C to work that summer of 2019 because at idle with the Haltech ECU it would kill the car every time the A/C clutch kicked in. I tried every way to get that dang A/C working and fought the IAC valve in every parameter the Haltech had in it's arsenal but I gave up and traded it to a buddy of mine for his stock grandma tan Honda civic lx with a 5 speed manual with working A/C. I still maintenance the SRT-4 as its in the Norfolk, VA area and I'm just a few miles away in Portsmouth, VA. I contacted Eric the current owner and he said he would only sell it to me and no one else and at the cost of $6,500. I'll buy it back in the future so I can take it out and hurt feelings in it on car meet nights. Eric just lets it sit outside the front of his house and collect sun rays. A/C still doesn't work good and I might end up in the morgue if I bring it back home again. My wife HATES this car lol. I don't mind, if I get it back it'll be a street pounder and a track car. I traded in the civic after a year of slow puttering around Hampton Roads in it and found an all stock red SRT-4, with A/C! Next thread!
