Caliber SRT4 Stock to 559hp Fully Built

[@joeyoung32]

Love this concept walking viewers through the build. I'm holding onto my '08 CSRT4 and cannot make the decision whether to hold on or let her go.

[@stefankaden1689]

Keep it, i love it, i have it for more than a year, driving this car in austria is like riding a unicorn, people dont know wtf is going on

@@stefankaden1689 hey, i bought it 1 year ago and its the same, i am from Slovenia. Maybe we can meet sometimes? that would be sick 2 csrts4 :D

Never let it go! Csrt for life

You have parts for sell?

[@knightonwarbeck1969]

Wasn't expecting the sad ending. Sorry it didn't workout the way you planned. Destiny is all!

[@brandondavis1107]

Such an awesome build. Thank you for sharing

[@danielwlyles]

My pleasure!

[@wbmjr46]

Had a black 08. Wish I hadn't sold it. 20 psi of boost and the car was a handful.

[@danielwlyles]

I was running 30 psi and lots of dyno tuning

[@ifai2176]

Spectacular beautiful car. I love this car.

[@tonypacheco7525]

Most definitely a beast put evo parts all wheel aluminum intake and metal valve cover with the right clutch znd tune pow lose some weight a lil heavy

[@AnthonyW1992]

Wasn't hard to find parts for this??? I'm about to purchase at 2009 csrt4 and I don't wanna not be able to find parts for it

[@AnthonyW1992]

Such a sad ending

[@danielwlyles]

Yes and no. Modern performance and members of that caliber groups on fb help make me do’s and tubular headers for this. Do not go cheap if you plan to build this car or you will have a lot of issues. Mario and Edgar are your best two sources for tuning. If you go with Simone else you’ll regret it. I spent months and months researching to find the best for this car so if you have any more questions hit me up!

[@AnthonyW1992]

Yeah I seen modern performance downpipe and stuff. Ima get it this Saturday and it has 10k on but engine, new clutch, new big turbo, a spring so it can take 20more psi, tires, stage 2 fuel injectors and alot more. Already ready to be tuned by haltech and ima need a tuner ina month or so, I'll hit u up bro!

[@SRT4turner]

Where did you get the steering wheel? I also have a csrt, hard to find stuff for it

[@danielwlyles]

I got it from Amazon. Took a lot of research to figure out what job would work. Common thing with these cats to have to research into to find stuff to work

[@clanaoaarmyofallah2557]

​@@danielwlyles can you post a link to the steering wheel i want that one and set up.

[@joshramsey1137]

Great build just bought an 09 csrt4. The n/a block you used was from a jeep patriot?

[@danielwlyles]

Yes, just gotta talk the coolant port to use the na block. They don’t have the small coolant slots in them that cause the cylinder to crack mid 400 hp

[@LiuMoon13]

Need a walkthrough using the na block pls

I'm trying to get mine to this level. I need to convert my sxt to srt4. #mopar please.

[@gNccustom]

Question for you on your diff, I have a dodge neon dirt track car and lockers are not allowed in my class. How they test for a welded or locked diff is simple they jack the car up on one side and with it running they see if they can free spin the wheel off the ground. Will your diff that kind of inspection?

[@danielwlyles]

depends on how hard they spin the wheel since it's physics work off of torque it good pass but I honestly don't know. 50/50 shot though!

[@ricardolee461]

I let mine go power was good but it’s hard to find some parts for this car and most parts discontinued I’m to big for the srt4 neon but the bottom end on the calibers are some garbage

[@danielwlyles]

The support for the platform is dying off. There are a lot of evo parts that are interchangeable and able to be integrated. But it’s kind of a headache too deal with.

[@ricardolee461]

@@danielwlyles yeah you right I wish they built it right so they wouldn’t have parts discontinued but I may get the srt4 neon they have parts till this day

It was on it when I bought the car but I believe it was from mopar

hey do you still have any of the performace parts for sale? my caliber 08 needs all top end and im goin prob bws for 400 ish power

[@danielwlyles]

Unfortunately I do not have any parts left over, post some videos when you get it together. I did the bws and made 425 prior to the full build so not a bad choice.

What cams u used?

280 race cams from modern performance

What build route did you go man?

[@brandonhollingshead496]

I’m looking to build mine this year and I can’t find enough information about these cars to even give me and idea…

[@danielwlyles]

Hit me up man, this was a semi closed decked na block , je pistons, k1 rods, king bearings, 280 race cams, s257 turbo, custom exhaust mani & dp, return fuel setup, 1300cc injectors, tuned my Edgar at dsm lights, traction concepts lsd , triple disc spec clutch, 6 layer custom head gasket from real tune etc im sure im forgetting stuff

[@Clutch_Kick187]

No wonder you destroyed the stock motor.. Your wot in 2nd, its spinning its ass off, so at 24mph you shift to 3rd, its still spinning its ass off, so you again shift to 4th, at 32mph and carry that almost to 50mph in 4th.. Um.. high load, low rpm, and boost.. is a recipe for disaster.. its pounding TF out of your rod bearings, and stressing the whole rotating assembly way way worse than holding the car on the chip until the car catches up with the wheel speed.. You pedal the car when its spinning, you don't just keep grabbing more gears.. LMAO..

[@danielwlyles]

Stock motors on these cars at around 420hp crack sleeves. It’s inevitably the sad truth of the slit design between the cylinder walls. That’s why we ran the na block because they don’t have those slits.
