hey plymouth, turbo k-car ftw! :cool: been there done that! i did the same when my mitsu turbo went south on my 92 2.5 Turbo-I Tona, just swapped in a freshly rebuilt Garrett on there, but mine is off an '89 Turbo-II so no log-style ;) the older Turbo-I's had a strange compressor flange i remember? Chris from Turbos Unleashed sells some adapters for these btw, maybe you can use one. what k-cars are currently sitting in your yard? or do you have any on the road as well? :D

anyways, depending on goals, the .48 AR T3 will be fine, and depending on head/manifold work and exhaust, you'll get pretty good spoolup and a nice low-end for sure :)

That was the goal to make the turbo spool before you think about getting on it, and he wants to run 7psi and if it holds that turn it to 10psi. He wanted to have good low end and little lag so i thought it would be a good turbo for it.

I have a 2.2 t1 plymouth sundance back home(i go to school in indy so that cars living in my mothers barn till i am out). Then my everyday car that is a TBI 2.5 plymouh sundance RS that might get a t1 swapped in it soon. Lastly i have a 1982 plymouth scamp/dodge rampage I think its a pre-production scamp because mopar does not have the vin in the production list of rampages and it has no production number. So it is a really cool car but that motor is fucked BADLY and i just got it.
I love the old P-bodies.

yeah and absolutley no top end it will just be pushing hot air and hot air creates detonation

It only revs to 5.5k and we got a bad ass intercooler and we will be looking at things closely making sure nothing breaks we will be fine thanks.

well then i wish you the best of luck i wanna see pics start a build thread

+1, an intercooler should help, also at 7psi or 10psi the turbo shouldn't be heating up intake air that much! btw i've seen quite a few build with the 3.1 V6 and variants enduring some big boost #'s, but as always you need a good tune ;)

this IS my first turbo build, but i've educated myself enough to where i'm confident enough to not ---- things up. i don't want to use a bigger turbo because this is my daily driver, and i don't want to put too much boost to blow the engine...YET... after i get another vehicle, i do plan on upping the boost a little to see what i can get out of it. i already have a killer sound system in the car, i think a turbo would be fun too:)

---------pic update--------

i should be able to get some pics of the turbo and intercooler this weekend, plus a few underhood pics and what not

sounds good enough to me. as said you might want to look into some turbo v6 builds on fiero or f-body sites to get some more specific ideas and you could prolly use the same parts in some cases.

when i was in school one of my room mates class mates had a fiero 3.1 hmt turbo kit and was pushing 4 or 5 psi and kept up with his stock f22 8 psi to4e accord. but he eventually put corssica 2.8 pistons in it dropping compression to 7.5 and using hal tek. before i moved it was'nt running though but there is parts out there. i can't remember who but some one makes cams for the 3.1. if its the same as the beretta 3.1 here is an idea.
