Picked up another turbo dodge.
Well I picked up this 89 dodge daytona on saturday. It was pretty slow as expected on the factory 6 lbs or so. The car has a warlbro 255 so i turned up boost to about 12psi. Kept blowing off I/C tubes. Fixed those and drove all day yesterday. Goes pretty damn good on 12psi, but the cheapo ebay boost controller crapped out on me today, I was getting inconsistent boost, and eventually spiked 20lbs to fuel cut. I pulled over, and threw it across the parking lot. :1
Im going to be redoing all of the charge piping, and well as added a nicer intercooler. Also going to build a 3" exhaust from the 2.5 swing valve, and dump it behind the door. Back to stock boost for now until my turbonetics MBC comes in.
Heres a few pictures of the car. Need to lower the front, I think the previous owner installed the front perches wrong, Also may get a set neon approved gods wheels. (srt4)
And heres a little stupid vid, just crusin through town.
And heres some hot chicks.
