92' Daytona
 

I have bought a 1992 Daytona... thus not looking into it untill after i find there was other engine types with alot more power then the 4 cyl in mine they have made the model up from mine with a a Turbo... my question would be where would i go about adding a turbo...even if taken from another daytona w/ the turbo on from a wrecker ?
any help or comment would be great

Re:92' Daytona
 

Uhm, well I'm not sure but i think my dodge shadow had the same engine as a daytona (2.5L) and pretty much from what i looked up you'd need to swap to the turbo motor or build the motor a bit to boost it safely. I'd say just go to the junkyard and find what cars had the same turbo motor as the daytona and pull everything off for the turbo setup...Matt

Re:92' Daytona
 

it depends if its a 2.2 or 2.5. your best bet would just to buy a Shelby Z or the CS which i plan to get soon. plus the 2.5 version has the a-555 tranny which is superb! also you can run 13psi on the 2.5 blocks till you hit fuel cut. ;)

Check out this web site http://thedodgegarage.com/
It has some good info. You can make these cars fly for no money. Dodge used to have an over the counter kit for the turbo Omni that gave it 300HP, it was called the supper 60 kit or something. The car would run 12s. That was one bad little sit box

Re:92' Daytona
 

yup, very good site.

Re:92' Daytona
 

Thanks for the input ...the Daytona i have is a 2.5L it has a bit of power but not a lot i think the turbo would be a good start for upgrades

Re:92' Daytona
 

motor swap time. that turbo motor thats in the shelby is bulletproof, from what ive read/heard about. lots of power can be made with little or no internal mods.

also, those cars are super cheap to make real fast.

Re:92' Daytona
 

pretty much. its just like a Honda, but you dont need any fuel managment ;) my friend is doing a DOHC head swap on his Shelby and its gonna rip like ----.

Re:92' Daytona
 

will my tranny handle the engine swap or do i need to convert a bunch of junk ?

Re:92' Daytona
 

it should handle, but if you plan on swapping to a 5spd make sure you get the a-555 tranny.

Re:92' Daytona
 

its a 5 std already ... what should it have standard ?

Re:92' Daytona
 

thought you said it was auto :-[ ... well then if its the base model Daytona im not sure.

Re:92' Daytona
 

opps did i say it was auto ... yeah no its all base model 1992 4 cyl 5spd only after market junk in it it i replaced teh Catalic converter with a Resignator and it would look like after market suspension from before i bought it.... no Turbo with teh 4cyl 2.5 :( :-[

Re:92' Daytona
 

well all i could suggest is that you buy a smashed 2.5 daytona or something cause its not worth it too boost the block you have. just find a smashed one and buy it.

Re:92' Daytona
