I alwasy thought the daytona had a big following.

Hi everyone I am new to dodge and i LOVE my 90 daytona 3.0L:D:D

I hate to break this to you, but the 3.0L V6's are well known for oil leaks, if it doesn't now then it will soon. They mostly leak at the valve covers which isn't hard to fix. I have had 2 Shelby Z's with the 2.2L Turbo II.

The engine was just rebuilt, so it no longer has the oil problem, We redid all the internals with new rings..etc.

Runs smooth and no smoke at all :)

Great, I'm really glad to hear that.[sm=smiley20.gif]It should make for a good reliable engine then.

.

As well it should be. I sunk tons of money into my Shelby Z, but I still hated to let it go.[sm=smiley19.gif] I loved that car.

I love my daytona.. I hav always liked them since i FORST saw them on off all shows.. HUNTER!!! heheh His partner drives a red one/ maroon one.....but i have owned 5 hondas and 2 mazdas..this is my FIRST doemstic and its been very fun so far...


I must admit, its not as good in handling as my modded Accord nor civic..but there is just somehting about the LOW END torque you JUST cant get out of an Import under $30000 :D

Put the Shelby suspension on it and it will be a whole different car.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley2.gif]

DAMN, i juts bought some stock suspension shock and struts....

For Shelby conversion..what do i need? Lorco and canadian tire did not have a specific replacement part for that model. They only list 4cyl and 6cyl.

I am just guessing, Shocks, Strust, Springs...but will i need other things like antiroll bar..etc?

Hmm I wonder if they make a front and rear upeer tower Strut Bar to make the chassy stronger?

Forward Motion has stuff for the Daytona's, here's a link to them: Forward Motion (http://www.forwardmotioninc.com)

This doesn't exactly sound like a "Roll Call" anymore people.... sheeeesh..;)... anyways..... I had a 1991 Daytona auto,.... long winded, but slow, and I ended up selling for like $250. because the motor knocked.... I just recently got a 1990 Daytona ES w/ the turbo and manual.... i bought it to play with as a kind of project.... the lights don't work (have thread about it actually) and the speedo is not functioning, OH and it needs paint, but i only paid $70. so i guess its all good in the end.....

$70, yeah I'd say that it was worth it. I've never even come close to getting a car for $70, except for a '73 Challenger I almost got for $300, but he never got back in touch with me until it was gone.[sm=smiley19.gif][sm=smiley35.gif][sm=smiley7.gif]

I've had 3. An '86 Turbo Z, an '88 Shelby Z, and now a '90 Shelby VNT.

What does the Shelby "VNT" Stand for?

VNT = Variable Nozzle Turbo

It has an fluctuating wastegate that regulates the amount of exhaust that enters the turbine. Very efficient idea (Zero "0" turbo lag) but very temperamental at times.

local://upfiles/2684/Tr513790876.jpg

just pick up a 1987 dodge daytona shelby z for a $100, got it for cheap cause the head gasket was possibly blown. turns out that head gasket was bad but wasn't the main problem. after taking the head of i relized that the turbo is shot. and i am not sure what i am going to do.

Any one got any suggestion on how to go about doing this. not sure if to build it up or just to get it running again with replacement parts.

You can get another turbo cheap with that turbo as a core. I bought mine for my Shelby Z for $360 cash with my old blown one as a core and it's doing good still.[sm=smiley20.gif]

when you say save the turbo as a core do you mean just replace the internals and use the outer shell? or get another turbo and turn that one in to them?

Since i have it all a part would it be worth to put a bigger turbo in and do some work to the intake man. and the exh. man. to get more performance out of it. is there anything else that would be worth replacing or modifing while it is apart?
one more thing does the dayton run a narrow band o2 sensor or a wide band o2 sensor?

Turn your old one in when you purchase the new one.

Since it's apart, if you got the money and time, I would definately upgrade everything that I could. Here are some links to Forward Motion:
Intake & Exhaust Manifolds (http://www.forwardmotioninc.com/html/catalog/intakes_exhaust.htm)
Turbochargers (http://www.forwardmotioninc.com/html/catalog/turbochargers.htm)
Forward Motion (http://www.forwardmotioninc.com)

I have no idea which type O2 sensor is in it.

Thanks for the help, i have read alot of stuff on things to do to these cars and one of them i have seen alot is to remove the balance shafts for the amount of work is it worth the work to remove them? thanks again for the help

where did you pick up your turbo at. was it new or from a slavge yard?

Im glad to see a good number of Daytona owners who have a forum to discus their cars.

Im new to this so:

Hi Everybody

I have had 4 Daytonas, 1 es and the rest Shelbys; all awesome cars.

But I am in need of some help.....

I have my 87 shelby with a 89 t2 it is running great up to 4000rpms and about 8-10 psi of boost, it then falls on its face and then kicks back in and then falls on its face again over and over and over. I have put a new exhaust and fuel pump in and the problem is still there, it doesnt do it everytime but it does it alot. Anybody got any ideas? The only thing I can think of is maybe its time for a new turbo..

Thanks

sperk1971

Sounds like fuel starvation/detonation to me.

What octane fuel are you running?

ORIGINAL: js87z

Thanks for the help, i have read alot of stuff on things to do to these cars and one of them i have seen alot is to remove the balance shafts for the amount of work is it worth the work to remove them? thanks again for the help



You 87 Shelby Z will not have balance shafts. The only engines that got them where the 2.5 tbi/turbo and the 2.2 VNT turbo engines.

I think, but I'm not sure, I think the o2 is a wide band. I would have to consult the FSM on that one.

I am running 89 octane, the car has been sitting awhile and I decided to get it out to drive this summer. It had the problem when I put it up, but I always thought it was the exhaust. My mechanic just put a new fuel pump on for me and I asked him if it was a pump for a 89 shelby and he said it didnt matter they all carry the same pressure......, I thought the shelbys got higher output fuel pumps.

thanks for the quick reply

You should run 92 octane in it just to keep it happy. Have you ever replaced the fuel filter? It sounds like the fuel flow is sufficient until the demand is great enough and a dirty filter will cause a throttle hickup where it falls on it's face and then picks back up just to fall on it's face again, over and over. The debris is getting pushed into the filter and then the pressure falls off between pump cycles letting the debris fall away from it until the pump forces it back into it again causing the stumble off and on. This is just one possibility though.

I bought mine at a local turbo shop, Ohio Cooler & Turbo I believe. I believe it was a rebuilt turbo and not a new one, but it was several years ago so I do not recall exactly which it was.

Thanks for the idea, I will give it a try this morning. Again thanks for the reply.

90 Daytona ES 3.0L

I call her Shodan. Had it for a real long time, and always doing something new to it. Am kind of curious if anyone has ever done anything different to the interior. Like modify the dash or something.

well I put some new gas in and a new filter, then realized I had made a leak in my fuel line, sadly after replacing the line I am still having trouble. But the car has been sitting for 3 years; maybe I just need to drive it a bit to loosen it up.

It wouldn't hurt then to try running some injector cleaner thruogh it as well. Did you ever put a fuel stabilizer in it before or during it's 3 years of sitting? Gasoline will turn into a thick varnish like substance after a long period of time like that. Run injector cleaner through it, the injectors are probably gummed up inside from it causing reduced performance and fuel flow.

All I have ever done to my new Daytona is ripped out ALL the audio with new ones and am waiting for the new rails to be finished to install my 1 new racing seats (Sparco knocks)

But its work in progress.

Anyone know how much hp the stock internals can handle on the 87 shelby z t2? and what is the max boost that can be created with the stock turbo?

I haven't had a chance to modify the dash in mine yet but i have gone through it and remove all the stuff that makes the inter quieter and other misc stuff that was not needed. after a get it running again to remove the stock boost gauge and put a after maket one and probaly a fuel air mix gauge as well. the inter. of the 90's is alot different though.

I like sparco, however I also like Vracing seats they're about $340 USD each and supposedly fit perfectly with no modification.

I'll be taking before and after pics as I restore the interior :)

I'll run some injector cleaner in the next tank of gas and see what happens. Its supposed to be done at the glass co. today it had to get a new windshield. Any body know where a guy could find a good deal on a electronic speed sensor for a daytona? mine is no good. [8D]

The stock Turbo II internals being full floating and all should be able to handle 350+ horsepower, possibly up to 500 horsepower. I have known of at least one that put out around 35 psi boost from a stock turbo.

cool:D i guess i don't need to buy an upgraded turbo cuz i only want to push like around 20 psi and make from 250 to 300hp. that would be plenty for me around here.;)
you wouldn't happen to have a diagram of the a/c for this would you. i would like to take it out cuz i don't use it and it is in the way for what i'd like to do.

Just release the freon and start removing the lines, compressor and such. It's fairly easy to do.

cool, i just want to make sure that i didn't loose the heater though cuz i still need that, could i cut the 2 lines that go into the car and remove everything forward from there would that still work and would i need to cap them off ?

i have a 88 shelby z just got new motor and everything else EVERYTHING!!! lots of parts if anyone needs anything. but unfortunetly it is FOR SALE!!! I have had it for 7 years and its been great. must see!! subzero54@hotmail.com if interested, i have many pics the car will be missed! VERY FAST!

You can unbolt and remove everything from the firewall forward very easily and with no ill effects. On the other side of the firewall inside the car, I never messed with.

. that was really easy. to get that all out and got alot of space and weight off the car. i found a used turbo off a 88 lebaron 2.5 lit. it has the same header flange but it looks a little bigger and the waste gate valve is bigger and probaly hold more psi then the stock one on my car. he has a hand full of turbocharge dodge cars. he wants $150 for the hole works and the o2 sensor is almost brand new in the swing arm for the exhaust. That turbo should work right?i would think if anything it will work better then the stock one.but i am happy cuz this means i can get it running sooner:D .thanx for all the help!

I've got a 93 2.5 daytona. Its only got about 139k on it. I think the O2 sensor is going out, because the car doesn't idle very well and doesn't respond to the gas pedal like it used to. In fact, it basically only works if I floor the pedal all the way, which often results in a loud squeal from the front of the car, the smell of rubber, and women and children diving diving away from the road...
Anyway, I recently used some RTV to seal up the valve cover gasket, and then learned that using this substance can kill the o2 sensor. I've been trying to locate the sensor, just how far back on the exhaust is it? If I replace it now, will the new one go out from the RTV again? I RTV'd almost a year ago, and the troubles started a little while after that. At first I thought it was a vacuum leak because when we took the upper intake off to do the valve cover, we broke a hose and replace it, and I initially though that we just hadn't gotten 'er sealed back up, but the hoses all look fine, I've got a new cap, rotor, wires, and plugs (properly gapped!) and a new fuel filter. I didn't think it was the O2 since that was replaced (by a repair shop, strangest thing!) right after I bought it.

Any help?

Chris

I've had 3, currently own 2.

My first was a 1987 Pacifica, Turbo 5 speed. That one is gone, it caught fire. My second was a 1985, 5 speed. It had a turbo but it was blown. I still have it, but it won't pass inspection due to some massive rust. It's also a home for some critters now. My third is a 1989 CS, 2.5 Turbo automatic. I one day hope to own one with a Turbo 2 and a 5 speed.

Coincidentally, my parents both own Daytona's. Between all of us, we've owned 7. One was sold, and then there was mine that burnt. My 85 isn't going to be around much longer, either. Sadly, out of all of them, my Pacifica ran the best....and looked the nicest. It was the only one with fresh paint. The engine and transmission both had less than 20,000 on them. I had recently had them put in.

Man that sucks. I hope you can at least use the engine and transmission since they are so fresh.

Sadly, the A555 transmission was destroyed from the fire. I tried to grab the heads off the engine, but they weren't any good. Cold water had been used to put out the engine fire. Going from that hot to that cold in seconds warps stuff pretty bad. Most everything from the engine that I tried to grab crumbled. It had been burning for about 45 minutes before the inept fire department came.

My friend put up the pictures on his website, if you want to see what happened.

http://www.geocities.com/kuronue13/swordfish/

If it counts for anything. I only paid $100 for my 89 CS. I'm working on it, but it's not technically running yet. It needs a head gasket. It runs almost fine ( better than my Dad's, but I'm trying to keep that a secret ) , but it leaks a lot of coolant. One of my neighbors hit it while it was parked, so it needs a new front end.

[&o]Well I have tried a new tank of 92 octane with injector cleaner and the problem is still there. I can ease up to six grand and about 13 psi of boost but i cant stand on it without it cutting out and bucking.Very frustrating because the power seems to be there but it wont let me use all of it. i can go about 1/4 of the pedal and fly like mad, but I want it all. Any more ideas to try? I cleaned it up today and installed a new dash mod that looks pretty cool, but I wish i knew what was causing my loss of power.

sadly

[X(]Sorry to hear about the daytona that burned pib, Looks like the fire destroyed everything. I f all goes well I may have 2 extra front ends by the middle of next week; maybe one of them would be what you need. Have you ever got to drive a turbo 2 car yet? I ask this only because I have drove a couple Turbo 1's and you would be amazed at the difference in acceleration.

i'd say that car was toatsed pretty baddly. i haven't driven a t1 but i got a t2 and i drove it a little before i ripped it apart and it moved pretty good for 2 cyclinders doing most of the work and a turbo that was all kinds of messed up. Well atleast til the car got warm and wouldn't iddle and barely ran. it should be running by the end of july.(i hope)

one quick question. does the intake to the turbo need to hook up to the cumputer on the fender . can i just run a pipe up to where the battery would normaly be and put a cone filter on that?

i ask cuz i got parts for ram air intake that would work just wanted to make sure it would be ok.

Have you checked for codes? It could also be one or more bad injectors, the PCM itself, kinked fuel line, weak pump, bad hall effect distributor, ignition coil or perhaps even spark blow out. If the spark is weak or the plugs even slightly fouled, the spark can be blown out by the forced induction. You can, and probably should anyway, get an MSD Blaster ignition coil. Give it a tune up, but with the good stuff. Get a set of Accel plug wires and new plugs and make sure that they are gapped properly to.

Damn, I guess. It looks like there's nothing left that's useable.


You can remove it without a problem, they were simply making it easier by incorperating the induction into the PCM housing. I removed the cheap plastic hose that connected the airbox to the PCM housing long ago. I will be removing the airbox totally and replacing all of it with smooth straight pipe and a cone filter.

i take it, it is not a mass air flow sensor in there then. somebody i know came across some money and all i nedd to do is ask if they will barrow me some money so i can get my car together. if i get it on monday i could have it ready bythe next following weekend:D.then i will take some pic and show you what it actualy look likes. i would now but it is all dirty and looks really bad. and i was to antzy to wait and get pics before i ripped it all apart[sm=smiley15.gif]. so no before and after pic oh well before doesn't really matter though now does it.

Nope. Chrysler vehicles do not use mass air, thank God for that. We will be waiting to see it.[sm=smiley20.gif]

I am 16 and me and my dad just bought me a 1989 Red Dodge Daytona. I have been looking for stuff to modify it with so if anyone knows some stuff please help.

If ever you have a question or want advice or help, just ask and we'll be here.[sm=smiley2.gif]

I have a red 93 Daytona Iroc with a 3.0 and a 132000 miles on it. I recently fixed the annoying oil leak problem that the 3.0 has and slapped a fresh coat of red paint on it several months ago. I purchased mine brand new from the dealer back in December of 1992. I get strange looks from teenagers who try to tell me that the Daytona is just not THE CAR TO HAVE!! They tell me Hondas are the REAL DEAL but somehow I believe that the Daytona will out live the Honda nightmare. If anyone attends the NASCAR races at Talladega let me know if the red Daytona is still in the car museum at the track.

My '88 Shelby Z is still a daily driver, not for me anymore, and it has well over 250,000+ miles on it. It reached far beyond 200,000+ hard miles before the engine needed rebuilt due to a wrist pin clip that had broke. I also know of a '73 Plymouth station wagon with a big block 400 that had well over 400,000+ original miles on the original motor, it has since gone to the junkyard, but not from the engine failing, it was from the body and frame rusting away from it. Lets see a Honduh last that long.[sm=smiley2.gif]

I have a 1988 Daytona with the 2.5L I love it. It is my daily driver. i am currently working on getting some more horse power out of it.

1987 Daytona Shelby Z here, saved it before the crusher got it, 3 more days and it would have been TOAST. Restoration is coming along good. Gonna make a great car for my son next year!

Thank you![sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley32.gif] We need more people like you to save the greats from the crushers.[sm=exactly.gif]

Not sure if you solved you problem yet or not but what plug are you running? I had BOSCH plugs in my GLH for a while and I started haveing the same exact problems as your experiancing. The power felt like it was there, but when I would drop the hammer on it, the car would stumble, spit and sputter until I backed off of the throttle. I come to find out that these cars are very finicky when it comes to plugs. I installed stock spec Champion plugs (can't remember the plug# but I can find out if you want) and it has been running like a raped ape ever since.

Hope this helps...

I have 2 daytona's I have a 87 daytona shelby Z and a 89 daytona shelby Z with a 2.2 turbo II. the 89 runs great and it is leaving everyone in the dust where I live I mean noone can keep up with it. My freind has a 97 Z 24 and he can't touch the car. and the 5.0 mustangs have some trouble beating it sometimes that car is just a great car. the 87 it needs a wireing harnest but if any wants to buy it and fix it let me I would like to get 700 out of it but if someone wants it let me know on here and I will get in contact with you.

All Cavaliers, Z24's included, are rolling turds that couldn't pass a broken down Gremlin. Besides, the last Z24's were nothing but a badge on the side of the car. I had an '87 and an '88 Shelby Z, both with the 2.2L Turbo II and the Z24 isn't even on the same planet as the Shelby Z's, they are more on the level of a normally aspirated Daytona and not a turbocharged one.:D

Hi...I'm 16 and a new driver. My 1989 dodge daytona with a totally new rebuilt engine is my first car....and I love it. I am also hoping in a careet field in the automotive industry.:)

Hey Amanda, How's the Daytona doing lately?? Does it have a pulse yet??[sm=smiley27.gif]

I don't have a garage... so she's under a car cover now. :) None of the problems that I was told it was, is the actual problem, so I'm SOL at the moment. I'm buying a house, so she's waiting for warmer weather. How's yours?

~Amanda

Are you still tracking down the top end noise, or is it something else that your referring to??

I finally picked up the blue Z in Oct. I have it parked at my Dad's garage for now. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I have WAY too may irons in the fire right now to start a project. Come to think of it I have to many damn cars period... On the upside, my Shadow ESX seems to be coming together well at this point. Hoping to light the fires by late winter early spring....

We think it's a bent valve spring now... it's a major PITA... I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I sure would like to drive the car once... can't do that until it's all fixed though. It's okay... she'll get there. I just wish I had some extra help... someone who really knows these cars to help me out. LOL! :)

~Amanda

Its a shame that you live so far away. I'd be glad to give you a hand.

Did you replace the cam and rockers??

Of course, it was the first thing. One of the valves is loose, I think that's it... we will attempt again in the warmer weather.

~Amanda

It would be benefitial to go ahead and get a set of new valves and springs too.

Or just go all out and get a remanufactured head assy. That would be by far the easiest thing to do, and would eliminate the "probably" worn out valve guide(s) and have an advantage of better compression etc, etc.

I'm an ex daytona owner and own 3 TDs currently...

I'm new here...I have a 1990 Daytona...2.5 non-turbo, all bark no bite.
She's cherry red, bod is in awesome shape as is the interior. 117,000 miles on it.
I doubt I will have it much longer tho. I've had it since October and have only been able to drive it a few times. It is a MONEY PIT! This isn't the forum, but I have one of those Daytonas that every mechanic town tells me is running great, yet the next day it doesn't start. I won't list the things I have replaced here....but anyhow....

I love MOPARS!
I currently have the 90 Daytona AND
a 91 Plymouth Acclaim 2.5 (179,000 miles on it)
a 93 Dodge Spirit 2.5 (67,000 miles on it)

I like the 2.5s!

Past Mopars I have owned...
93 Dodge Spirit 2.5 that died with 181,000 miles
88 Dodge Reliant K car
87 Dodge Reliant K car
72 Dodge Monaco
64 Chrysler Newport (had push button tranny!)

Oh...and I'm a girl, lol.

I feel you on that one, I had over $8,500 in repair in my '88 Shelby Z before I said screw it and sold it. It still needed more money put into it and it also needed the body, paint and interior taken care of as well. It had over 140,000 miles on it when I bought it and the speedometer/odometer only worked half the time, so I'm sure it was far beyond that and it only showed around 186,000 on it when I sold it, but I know it had to actually be over 230,000 at that point. If your having that bad of a time with it then you should definately let it go and get another car, I did. I then bought a '99 Neon R/T which had no problems. I sold the R/T so that I could upgrade and get my SRT-4, the second best car I've had just under my Roadrunner.

Of all the cars, Mopars & other, my 87 Daytona Shelby was the best, most-reliable car I've ever had... now I have an '89

How many miles is on your '87 Shelby Z? My '88 Shelby Z ran and drove perfect for the first two years I had it until one of the wrist pin clips broke and the wrist pin started knocking and scarred up the cylinder wall pretty bad, it had to be sleeved. Ever since then the high mileage caught up with it and everything else started to fall apart on it.[:@] I loved that car and I will always miss it.[&o]

I have a 1987 Daytona with a 2.5.....

I own a 93 Daytona ES I put all the mods suggested from thedodgegarage.com and allpar.com on it and it had nitrous when I bought it. It was pushing about 190hp near 250hp with nitrous. I realize that isnt really that great but the torque would rip your neck off. I blew the engine one night after racing a 1993 supra I beat him in the quarter but then he got me on top end. I went to school with the owner he is nothing but a lyer he said it was a TT with 490hp but it ran like a 280z on 2 cylinders. My car would only do 120mph so when I topped out he started to catch up. I am about to convert it to RWD i have a nice 383 for it. here are some pictures of it when it was running.

I love this car and im gonna keep it alive as long as I can. I am however on the look out for a good turbo Daytona 2.2 T2 or 2.5 im not a rich person so I can only pay about $1,700 and I must be able to drive it home. I was out one night in town and I saw this nice looking lil riced out Talon it was a guy I used to go to school with also. I was sitting in the parking lot and he revs his engine and I hear the most annoying blow off valve i have ever heard in my life it almost made my ears bleed. So i fired the 3.0 up and creeped to the stop sign and smoked the tires and spun a lil more in 2nd. Here he came right behind me I started out towards the bypass. My car is pretty quick and sounds awesome it has a flowmaster and lunati cams. It seriously sounds like a SB V8. We pull up to the first lite and it turns and neither one of us could hook up there is so much smoke I wouldnt even see beside me so i had no idea where he was or if he was starting to pull on me when I hooked up finally I looked and he was about 2 car lenths behind me. He stays that far back til about 115mph then he starts to catch up he farther we ran the more he was gaining on me. We came to another redlite and when it turned i nailed it again and left him about 2 lenths behind again. I looked back and he turned off so I followed him to the service station and when he came out I told him what was done to my car. He said its runs good that (the talon) has 210hp turbo and blow off. I was thinking to myself how did I beat him thats like 20 more horses then me but then I though I dont have to wait for a turbo to spool either. Im not gonna tell him when I get the 383 in it. I wonder how bad ill beat him then.:D

I have a '87 Daytona with a 2.5L, I can't believe it still runs either. You'd be amazed.

I've got a '90 ES with a 2.5 Turbo I... I haven't driven it but like 5 miles, as it's had nothing but one issue after another since I got it (that's what you get when you pay $200 for a car) so far it's cost me under a grand and all I've had to do is get the ignition keyed, replace the flexplate, do a tuneup, and install front seats... now I gotta replace an oil pan gasket, and maybe then I can actually drive it!

I love this car and im gonna keep it alive as long as I can. I am however on the look out for a good turbo Daytona 2.2 T2 or 2.5 im not a rich person so I can only pay about $1,700 and I must be able to drive it home. I was out one night in town and I saw this nice looking lil riced out Talon it was a guy I used to go to school with also. I was sitting in the parking lot and he revs his engine and I hear the most annoying blow off valve i have ever heard in my life it almost made my ears bleed. So i fired the 3.0 up and creeped to the stop sign and smoked the tires and spun a lil more in 2nd. Here he came right behind me I started out towards the bypass. My car is pretty quick and sounds awesome it has a flowmaster and lunati cams. It seriously sounds like a SB V8. We pull up to the first lite and it turns and neither one of us could hook up there is so much smoke I wouldnt even see beside me so i had no idea where he was or if he was starting to pull on me when I hooked up finally I looked and he was about 2 car lenths behind me. He stays that far back til about 115mph then he starts to catch up he farther we ran the more he was gaining on me. We came to another redlite and when it turned i nailed it again and left him about 2 lenths behind again. I looked back and he turned off so I followed him to the service station and when he came out I told him what was done to my car. He said its runs good that (the talon) has 210hp turbo and blow off. I was thinking to myself how did I beat him thats like 20 more horses then me but then I though I dont have to wait for a turbo to spool either. Im not gonna tell him when I get the 383 in it. I wonder how bad ill beat him then.:D


The talon was most likely a TSI , that's a 2.0 liter turbo with FWD. the motors in stock form produce about 210 peak horsepower (according to mitsu) but I'm fairly sure the car weighs more than the daytona... I don't know how much a daytona weighs, but the talon tsi has about 2800lb curb weight... and on top of that, he probably couldn't get it to hook up... if all he did was put a really loud BOV on it, then he's actually causing his car to run overly rich between shifts, and not really doing anything for performance... I'd say he riced it indeed, and didn't fix up the motor much. *shrugs*

The Talon TSI's are almost always AWD turbos, but there are some that are FWD. If he smoked the tires the way you said, then it had to be FWD, because if it were the AWD version he would have only left 4 one foot long patches and he would have been gone. The 2,800 lbs. guess is about right for the FWD version, the AWD is a bit over 3,000+ lbs., and the 3.0L Daytona is around 2,500 lbs.

Good luck with converting it over to RWD and dropping the 383 in it, I had that plan/dream for my '88 Shelby Z except I was going to go with either the 400 I had or my 440 that's been sitting. Good luck with it, I eventually sold mine.[&o]

I just paid it off I am not gonna get rid of it for a while. I am gonna put a 3.0 back in it for a daily driver til I get all the parts I need for the conversion.

Hey, count 2 more. I've got a blue/silver 89 TII/A555, and a emerald green 93 IROC R/T, A568 with 50Kmls. in Sou. IN

Anyone know how much hp the stock internals can handle on the 87 shelby z t2? and what is the max boost that can be created with the stock turbo?

I haven't had a chance to modify the dash in mine yet but i have gone through it and remove all the stuff that makes the inter quieter and other misc stuff that was not needed. after a get it running again to remove the stock boost gauge and put a after maket one and probaly a fuel air mix gauge as well. the inter. of the 90's is alot different though.

roughly 300HP.. and a Garrett TII turbo should be good for 25 PSI of boost..

DO you mean 87 Daytona Shelby Z?

1986 you had the Daytona Turbo Z CS which was the handling package that became the Shelby Z in 87..
the TII engine was in the 87-90 Daytona Shelby Z and Shelby... a few went over to 91' models..

I bought my 92 Daytona 2.5L three years ago. Beauty of a car, no rust, good interior and I love the design on it. It is my daily driver, up until three weeks ago when it up and died, but I already posted that forum already. Anyways, I've always been a dogde driver. My first car when I turned sixteen was a '74 Dodge Duster, bought it for $500 from a neighbour. I've been happy with the performance of my Daytona (Up until it died) but when when i get it running again, I will be supremely happy! I miss my baby! :(
See ya!

Sincerely,

I currently own two 88 Shelby Z T2's and a 87 Shelby Z T2 and traded a 88 Shelby Z T2 for a GLHT and parted out a 89 Shelby Daytona T1.

FYI - the 3.0 came out in 87 for minivans, 88 for Dynasty/New Yorkers, but not until 90 for the J/G bodies. Sooo...yours must be a 90 or something swapped.

I currently own 4 daytonas.One is an 87 shelby t11 car with t-tops and another is 88 t11 car.One has a 568 tranny and the other a 555.I also own an 87 pacifica t1 car and last but not least my daily driver a 90 es 2.5.I'm also currently looking for a nose piece like on my es to put on my t11 race car for looks.

Hey all I'm DJ and I live in beautiful Twentynine Palms, CA. I own a 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC 2.5L Turbo I with a 5 speed manual. Awesome car and loads of fun. I'm also looking for some 1992 or 1993 Dodge Daytona owners that want to make a custom body kit for their car. Check out this link : http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/515154

I just bought a 1992 Daytona IROC R/T turbo III about a week ago. AMAZING condition. The guy had put a new motor and Garett T3/T4 ball bearing turbo in at 70000. It now has 72,500 on it. Leather and a moonroof also came on the car.

I do have a question though, I've noticed that at about 4000rpm the boost is at 10 pounds, it seems to back off to about 5 pounds from 5000-6000rpm and then goes to 12 pounds of boost at about 6100 until redline at 6700 rpm. Is this caused by a vacuum leak, or is the factory ECU/computer just doing its job?

Very nice Iroc R/T. I always wanted one until I heard of their head problems and extremely limited chances of finding another good head.

Yet again. . . . this guy took care of the head problems as best he could, and had a new gasket put in when he rebuilt it.

1990 Dodge Daytona ES w/3.0L V-6, as my name and sig imply...

for all those who say the 3.0s have no aftermarket, you're mostly right... the 3.0L has very few parts built, which makes it all the better when you see these engines pushing 250 hp, n/a... im looking forward to turboing my 3.0 before the end of the year... my goal is 300 hp at the crank... :D

and then the expensive parts come in... bigger turbo, forged internals... but be aware that the stock internals of a 3.0 will handle 10 psi, no problem, much more than your average n/a engine...

I have 2 86 turbo zs both ttops cars one is a shelby the other isnt both 2.2 t1 turbos both auto the non shelby is near mint

Pennsylvania here....ihave a 93 dodge daytona...3.0 v-6...and i am mad.....reason beening is its not a turbo......but it is still fast and handles awesome......i wish i knew how i could make it faster or possible even put turbo on it..need help or advice

newbe hear had three 90-91es-93 all 2.5 no turbo.
90 blew a rod and then got stolen right of the highway Ignorant pricks
91 blown head gasket and bad fuel pump. gave to friend
93 low knock(probably rod also) hole in radiator aprox 2inch, and oil in radiator-of course head gasket.

all three nothing but problems, but I am just so attached to them Everyone says to get rid of it but the only way that will happen is if by fire, and even that might not even work.

I'm new to the site, but I have a 86 daytona. 2.5 liter non-turbo. put alot of work into, but wouldn't get rid of it for anything in the world.

I have an 1988 white Daytona hatchback 2.5 liter Automatic and i love it!

Hi,all!!!!;)

I have an 89 Shelby and its my 3rd Daytona. I am looking for a 4th. A Daytona C/S t-top, wish me luck. PV.

I bought a new 1987 Shelby Z when I was 20......I LOVED that car......she was black with gold leather and t-tops and we went Mustang and Camaro eating on a regular basis. Sadly, she's long gone. Maybe someone out there has her. I can only hope so. I vowed, someday, to own another one. FF to November 30, 2005. While browsing a local want-ad, I came across an ad for a 1987 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z in non-running condition. I contacted the owner who said they think that maybe the block is cracked. It will crank but not start. Everything else appears to work. I haven't even begun to see WTF the issue is. The car came from New Mexico. NO rust, very straight body (some minor dings, but the paint's even still shiny!) and a great interior (for the age). It's a hardtop, so no worries abot rotting t-top seals, etc. It's white with a red cloth interior with the power seat, etc. And yes, it's a 5 speed! Here's the best part.......IT WAS FREE!!!!!! All I had to do was tow it away!!! I'll post some photos in a few days. You'll sh*t a brick when you see the condition of this car. I'm so incredibly stoked, it's like a dream. I can't friggin' wait to get it running again. All original 1 owner family that even gave me ALL the service records!!! FREE!!!!![sm=groupwave.gif]

I'll keep ya posted to let you know the status.....

I have a 90 2.5 turbo :)

I ordered a new 1986 base Daytona, 2.5 (new that year), 5-speed, in August of 1985. I owned it from October of 1985 until August of 1988. I should have kept it, because it knocked only a few thousand off the price of my next car (a leftover 1988 Honda Accord). Hey, you do dumb things when you're young, right?

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/shutout39/day1986.jpg

In October of 1992, my Dodge dealer told me that he had a brand-new 1993 Daytona ES, loaded, with a 5-speed and 3.0 V6. It took me all of two hours from that phone call to strike a deal with him, and I traded the Accord for it.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/shutout39/day1993.jpg

I sold it when I bought a 1997 Stratus ES, in May of 1997. Again, I should have kept the Daytona.

So now, I'm looking for a 1991 5-speed V6, any model, and I'll restore it to brand-new condition if I can.

The thing that really bugs me is that both cars are still registered and running, according to AutoCheck and the DMVs in Ohio (1986) and South Dakota (1993). DOH!!! [:@]

I own and have owned since new a 1990 Shelby Daytona VNT. Through the years I have enjoyed many hours tinkering and modifying the car and taking out for a blast on a straight away or the twisties (sorry to say no track time). I've been told to convert it to a TII set up to get more power but, you just cant beat the VNT for turbo response. Recently, I bought a 2005 SRT-4 ACR which I like very much but, the Daytona has something that the Neon just does not have despite it's many improvements- style. I'm just greatful that i've been blessed with the ability to keep them both for now.

1987 Shelby Z T2 t-tops picks to come.

1990 ES no turbo, 3.0 5 speed. 80 thou off of heads, 10.35 comp ratio, 54 mm tb set up, ballanced bottom end, everything else stock. 0-60 times-outragous, top end- I backed out at 140- no ball in my lod age LOL. This car is a handfull, blew the minds of some local tuners with it, u should have seen thei 20,000$ smirks turn to tears when they couldnt touch me. I actually built this car for my 17 year old son, got a total of just a tad over 1000$ in the motor and I just did a custom paint on it myself for about 700$ in supplies. looking into a exhaust system and cold air induction soon, and maybe a chip in the computer Here are some so-so pics, enjoy the Daytonas, I do.

I gots a '92 3.0 auto 'tona. It was given to me and it has 120,000 miles or 200,000km. So far it is still running!!! Needs alot of work though. The paint is peelin off real bad. None on the the liftgate or the roof!! I am sure that I will be posting lots of questions on this forum as I will need a bit of help with the mechanical. Thanks-alot!!!!

oo lets see here, I had a 1990 2.5 Daytona sold it. I still have my 1992 Daytona from when i was 15. Rebuilding the A604 in it currently and also have a 1990 lebaron also rebuilding the trans in that. (Damn a604s)

I know it's a Laser, but hey- they are the same car! 1985 Laser 5 speed. On it's second 2.2 TBI engine thanks to my step-brother. Very little rust, and that will be taken care of soon. Working on installing the front and rear bumper facia's from an 86 Daytona Turbo and the side skirts from an 89 Daytona Turbo. Interior is pretty much stock except for the radio. I replaced the seats with the ones out of an 86 Turbo, including the "enthusiast" drivers seat, didn't convert to power seat though. I got this car 2 weeks before I turned 16 (I'll be 33 next month). 17 years and still going! Gotta love MOPAR. Plans for it in the future will be to do the exline rear wheel drive conversion and dropping in an 8 cylinder, maybe a 340 or 360 now.

I own two '89 Daytona's. My CS with a 2.5 turbo 1 and the other an ES with a 2.5 non-turbo. Currently I am in the middle of modifiying my CS. Got the motor torn down to the block and ran into money problems and couldn't go any futher. I plan to strengthen the block for a bigger turbo and NOS. But I am in school now and I am actually about to move 22o miles away to go to school. But when I get done with school I get her running.

Hey Everybody, It's been awhile but I finlly have my 91 almost 100% complete. It doesn't have the power my 87 or my 89's had but i runs good and sounds great. Let me know what you think.

Well lets see new to the daytona (and driving actually) Just got my 1992 Daytona ES (though it has the IROC package) had a engine overhaul before I bought it at about 243,000 KM on it :D

If I remember right, the 87 Shelby I had was set at 7.5 psi from the factory. The MAP sensor reads the intake manifold pressure and relays that to the computer. The computer then cuts off Fuel to the engine "thinking" it's in an "overboost" mode if you go above the 7.5 psi range. The computer doesn't cut-off the spark, because then the cylinders would have raw fuel in them and that would get very ugly!

I read somewhere that someone "cheated" the MAP sensor by installing a "bleed off valve" in-line between the intake manifold and the MAP sensor. You need to be very careful, because Dodge Turbo cars don't adjust Air/Fuel ratio via a "mass air flow sensor". They use a "look-up" table and take input from all your sensors to determine how long to open the injectors and dump fuel. I.E. - O2 sensor, temperature sensor, throttle position sensor, speed sensor, MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor and fuel pressure sensor.

When does the car "cut-out"? After it's at full operating temperature? Is there any pattern to the problem? Does it run fine when it's first started and still relatively cold?

I'm certainly not an expert, so please be very careful if you "mod" anything. Just trying to help . . . .

To everyone, If I've spoke in error, please don't hesitate to correct me. I've been out of the "Dodge Turbo" car scene for quite some time and I"m going off my memory.

Have you run the "internal" diagnostics test yet, with the ignition switch?

OK..the 87 Shelby Z Daytona 'IF" you have a automatic ran the 7.5 psi of boost w. automatic tranny..and you had the TI engine...
the 5 speed cars had the great TII engine and 12 psi of boost blown through a intercooler before it hit the intake...

I do know the mods all too well..just been in the past year that I can play with me car after owning it for 7 years..
Yes you can "bleed" one but here is the deal

out cars can operate up to 15% of the basic programming from the scale your speaking of...so raising the boost pressue can be done up to 14.7 psi..then overboost kicks in.
now for people who want to jump from 7.5 to say 11 psi.. that's an easy fix and mainly safe without going hog wild.. going too far and trying to fake out the map sensor will cause pistons to melt or break apart (believe me I should know) The best thing to do is ask yourself these questions:

1. How am I driving this car? long term--are you keeping it?
2. are you a drag racer?
3. street racer ?
4.just a daily driver type?
5.How much time and money are you willing to spend?

I can tell you for the easy money you can bring the 7.5 psi up to 12 psi for dirt cheap..after that you need to invest the time and start thinking about Hi-Performance..new pistons and a new computer cailbration.intercooling...

We in the Turbo Dodge world know that we CAN get alot of HP& Torque from our cars for a small amount of money compared to say a Honda or Toyota...for what the assholes spend for 50 hp (well over $1000) we buy a grainger valve and given that 2 psi=20 horse you can do the math right there for under $45 dollars so 5 psi extra boost is going to be around 50 HP.. you can see my point..

the information about the Turbo Dodges are out on the net--tons of known facts...I just said a small amount to wet somebody's mouth--it's up the person to find and take that knowledge and see if that applies to their car and their needs.

Hey i am a new dodge fan.. I have a 89 dodge daytona2.2turbo how can i find a catback for it i no it has 3inch bit still i can find no catback help me

Between me and my little bro we have 3, 2 I have bought for under $1,000.00. They are my first I bought for my son, is a 1989 daytona, with the 5 speed and 2.5. I spent $500.00 for it, and put in $1,800.00 in parts as of this last weekend. It is a fast little car that my son traded to my bro for a 1985 D-150 pickup. It also has the 4 wheel disk breaks that I love. The next one is my daughters. Its a 1990 daytona with the 5 speed and 2.5 as well, I bought it for $400.00 and have only spent $300.00 in parts on it so far, I plan on converting it to a TII turbo, and putting in a super 60 set later. The dealership informed me they can still get the wireing harness direct for me so I am happy. Right not it is a guttless wander. but she is only 9 so I have some time to get it up to what I want it to be before she will get it. Here is a picture of the 1990 with my brute besides it (1985 dodge ramcharger). I have alot of work to do on all the dodges in my yard at the moment, but I don't mind.http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j136/BATTLEMATE/100_0368.jpg

92 IROC 2.5 Litre Turbo.

This is crazy is this the longest thread or what? ok I just got another 92 daytona es.so that now makes 4 for me.and i also plan on doing the v8 conversion with this one also.

I own a 1990 2.5 with the Spring Special package. Radiant fire red with grey quartz interior. I am the second owner and hopefully the last. She's been giving me some maintenance problems lately, but it's nothing I can't have fixed. The main problem is the floor pan rot. Got the passengers side fixed last year and now the drivers is going. The body shop that fixed it said this problem was rare for these cars? Well I do drive her in NJ winters, since she is my daily driver and I no longer have a garage to keep her. I am keeping her OEM, because I like the way the car looks as it is. Once she's fixed up, she's going to Carlisle. I sent in a pic to be posted, but I am not sure where it went??? This is one car that's a keeper as long as no moron runs into me!! LOL

91 Iroc right here! :D

I own an 89 shelby csx daytona turbo 2 i love it

Hey guys; I have another question. Recently I noticed that when the turbo boosts over 8psi it makes a hissing noise as opposed to the normal whine; everything seems to be running fine but the noise is kinda odd. any thoughts? It is a 2.5 T1 in a 91 Shelby.

Thanks

1991 Daytona
Blue with rusted out floor boards. So far only mod is some Sunpro gauges in the lower cubby hole due to the OEM gauges not working very well. (or at all in case of temp gauge.)

I'm the 2nd owner of a Red '92 Daytona Shelby IROC, 2.5 T1 with 92,000 miles on it (bought it in 1994 with 20,000 miles). Rare with low production numbers blah, blah, blah . . . Shelby blah, blah, blah . . . .

Slight mods include: 2.5 inchCustom stainless/aluminum exhaust with high flowcat andFlow Master muffler, K&N air filter, 2 gauge A-pillar pod with Turbo Boost and A/F ratio gauges, 17 inch 5 spoke wheels with 45 series tires, koni adjustable shocks and struts, and a P.I.T. electronic boost controller. Just running 11 psi of boost (at the moment) until I install the intercooler and upgrade the fuel system.

After 12 years of driving this car, I still get a grin on my face every time my right foot touches the floor board! This is my 6th FWD Dodge and my 3rd Turbo car of them.

Love these little 4 bangers!

My wife and I bought ournear mint 5 speed Garnet Pearl & Silver1984 Daytona Torbo Z with the full ground effects package, in 1992 with a verified 24000 miles on it, we try to drive it only in fair weather using it only for trips etc, to date it has only 54000 actual miles on it and is still very much like new.When purchased I basically went through and checked everything on the car and have had to repair little on it since, other than basic maintenanceI have done little to her adding only anOEM styleK&Nfilter, aset of 8"X16" - 7 spoke Speed Racing wheels with Toyo Proxis P 235 ZR 40 16" tires and a small set of high intensity driving lights, she is still our pride and joy. After all these years we came across a matchbox die cast in mint condition which isher exact mini twin so now we have two 84s:)

Paladin......Have, Dodge Will Travel.

PS We also have a 1974 440 powered Dodge 1 ton club cab dually and a rare 1981 Dodge Detamaso 2.2 hatch back coupe 1 of only 619 built:)

Hi all! My name is Justin. 89 Daytona ES 2.5 Turbo Ihere(199k miles on it). My beloved car is in the front yard with the crank broke in half andchewed up mitsu. turbo. I'm in N Georgia. If any one has one of these engines with turbo PLEASE let me know if you want to sell it or trade for wrecked B350 Ram van(360ci quad-jet that runs well, good tranie, no rear axle). I miss driving my car. It sat about a year before i got the rebuilt tranie and new clutch for it. It only lasted about a month before it lost oil pressure and died again. It has sat for 2 more yrs now. Just washed it yesterday.

Hello, I own a '93 Dodge Daytona.
I can't remember the last time I drove it.
It's been parked for many years since I got a DWI.
Now I can get my driver's license back soon and can't wait to drive my car again!

Hello,New to this Forum..Just bought a White 88 Daytona for $600
Shows 142,XXX ..Got some problems but seems pretty cool so far:)

Kinda new to this forum as well. My car is a 1992 Daytona IROC RT. Its one of 50 in white with a factory sun roof, and is also a PVP Pilot Car. She is currently in the process of a pretty strong rebuld. Details, pics, parts lists can be seen on my cardomain page in the link in my sig. Also there is a short vid I did about the RT when it was running (with a major boost leak!) and the start of the rebuild process. Check it out and let me know what ya think.

Hey! 1990 Dodge Daytona here in Sussex Cty NJ. I love my car too. She needs a bit of work, but time and money will take care of that. Good luck with yours.

Cheryl

Okay I know its two different Daytonas we are talking about but I just have to do this. Here is my 2006 Daytona R/T.

I had a chargerr 2.2 in 1982 when it was brand new and just bought a 1989 shelby T2 and a 1990 Shelby 2.5

I just bought an '84 Daytona Turbo Z fully loaded. It's black with leather interior, electronic navigator, sunroof......etc. fully loaded with only 93,000 miles on it. It's in perfect condition with no mechanical problems and no tears in the leather and no body rust

Proud owner of a red 93 Daytona Iroc. (3.0 5 speed ` pics to follow soon.)
I bought it brand new off the lot in the winter of 92. It was the only one they had at the dealer. Originally wanted a black one, they searched as far as Texas but couldn't locate one. I also owned a 85 Chrysler Laser Turbo.

Don't know how the rest of you Daytona owners feel but I am tired of being told that the all Dodge cars don't hold their resell value like the Honda Civic.
No offense to any Honda owners (I'm sure they are wonderful cars) but when I die I want to look back and remember how much fun it was to own and drive an exciting vehicle like the Daytona.

I've got a 1988 daytona that used to be my Uncle's. It needs a little work but I hope to get it running and looking good. It only has 68k miles on it.

1992 Daytona. V6 & Auto. repainted 2 years ago.

Red with black leather interior and t-tops, all options except digital dash and 12 button navigator.

Just picked up a direct connection logic module which makes this car scoot pretty well (increases A/F mixture, advances spark and increases boost from 7 to 14 psi).

VERY good shape, no rust (spent it's whole life in Western NY, so that's pretty amazing), all documentation and maintenence records. Needs a repaint, previous owner spilled gas down the side of the quarter, never cleaned it and it ate the paint away!!!

Hey I'm new to this site and I own a 1987 shelby z daytona.. this car is in perfext shape, but I need to replace the turbo. Currently the car has the stock T2 turbo and has just turned over 115 k on the engine. The head was rebuilt a little less than 20 k ago and the transmission has less than 10 k on it. My question is where's a good place to find the new turbo? can I go any bigger without modifing the engine? and how costly/ hard would it be to replace ? thanks for the help.

Hey gang, New kid on the block. I have two Daytonas now, 1986 Dodge Daytona C/S T-Top White with Black interior, Blown Valve. 1990 Dodge Daytona VNT just got it a month ago Red with black cloth interior I have a lot of performance stuff form my 86 to put in this baby.

I have a '92 IROC R/T myself along with some other turbo chryslers.

Takoma...alot of the '86 stuff won't work for the '90 cars, espcially for a VNT car. Big changes happened for these cars around '89 with the introduction of the common block. Also, you' 90 VNT car has the best 5-speed possible (568)and suspension/brakes not to mention forged crank and HD rods, etc...

Read everything you need to know on: thedodgegarage.com and also turbo-mopar.com

I've had 3 so far.

My first car was a black 1984 Dodge Daytona non turbo (I still would like another one of those, they're not collectible, but for memory lane purposes...).

I then had a black/silver 1990 ES Turbo I for about 7 or 8 years that I totally ran into the ground after hitting a deer with it that set off the airbag and getting rear-ended by a drunk driver... insurance totaled it and I bought it back for $75 if I remember correctly.

I now have a white 1990 Daytona Shelby VNT. I just brought it home yesterday as a matter of fact! The engine is out already and being fully reconditioned, I have a new VNT turbo on the way, and I'm looking forward to driving it maybe this summer if all goes well. (It's cold in Minnesota in the winter and I don't have a heated garage...)

hey daytona fans im also new here i own a 1987 daytona pacifica in mint condition no rust with a turbo 1 engine. there are some things need to be done, the prev owner parked the car in the summer then in the fall didn't notice the fuel rail broke and tried to start it but the engine caught fire. he got the fire out in time so no paint damage but the timming belt, vaccum lines and some wires got barbequed. it's loaded with digital dash, leather interior, 12 button nav system, power seats, not bad for only $500. in the future im looking for a 92/93 daytona IROC R/T because i heared it's the best

I have a blue daytona shelby z turbo with t-tops although it's hurt right now

Got a red '92 Daytona IROC R/T 2.2L DOHC TIII with unknown mods...the previous owner wasn't exactly honest with the condition of the car. I was pretty much suckered into it but hey it's an R/T! I already made thousands, yes thousands of dollars in repairs just to get it to daily driver status. It still needs alot of TLC to say the least.

1991 daytona iroc turbo here i have a 92 iroc im parting out with the 2.5 turbo in it

Uh yeah
I own a '90 "Chrysler" Daytona V6 that a fleeced off my friends soon to be ex for $200 there is alot of strange issues but nothing outside my ability to fix. After driving POS chevy's and then a Acclaim with the 4banger this thing seems a positive zoomer. I have just joined to get some help with some of the things I either cannot figure out or make no sense to me.

I have a white 92 IROC R/T.. I love the car, but I might end up selling it. I've put so much money into fixing it, probably more than it's worth.

ive got a '93 2.5white tona.
daytonas are great cars. i love them.

'90 Daytona
Free, running but blowing oil
I can't wait to start in on her.

Well I just rejoined the ranks of Daytona owners...
My father used to sell these things new, and I fell in love with the 87-91 Daytona.

I bought my first one in college a sharp white 1990 2.5l 5-spd (base model), I only sold that because I had the oppertunity to buy a 1987 ShelbyZ. The ShelbyZ had been hot rodded to hell and back by every previous owner that had it, it had issues; but it would also pull a legitimate 12.5 sec. 1/4mile. Alas I didn't have the money to keep it on the road at the time and I had to sell it [:o] It kept pulling itself apart while racing. Once I finally graduated college I tracked down its unfortunate demise... some scmuck cranked it up to 50lbs of boost and sent parts of the motor through the side of the car.

Well I just purchased another Daytona this last weekend, a 1991 ES 3.0l auto. It is black and the body and paint are PERFECT!!! The interior is grey and very sharp. Cosmetically it is a 9.75 out of 10!!! Motor is seized. I just joined the forum today to research all the possible options for a new powerplant.

Problem is I want to leave the body as-is with the full interior, and have a car that will still pull 12sec flat in the 1/4mile...
Tuner math says I'm going to need like 360-ish horse power:eek:
Luckily for once in my life time & money are on my side:)

2,2 Turbo II Daytona Shelby 89 ; Imported here as Chrysler GST II in Europe
Made alot of changes for "play".

1987 Shelby Daytona with the Turbo 2, 5 speed. White car with red interior. Runs awesome and has been a blast to drive so far. Engine, turbo and transmission all rebuilt in 2001.

I am new to the forum after just picking up a 92 IROC Daytona 3.0 5 speed. I love it so far.

New here. I am the current owner of a 91 Dodge Daytona ES. Thats the one with the 4 cyl and no turbo. Doesn't matter anyways. I am trying to get my hands on a v6 Mitsubishi to replace it.

You may want to check vacuum lines for splits and cracks as well.

HI, I'm new to the forum, and I own a modified 86 C/S. I love it! Black sunroof car with black leather and all the options including digital dash. Upgraded suspension and brakes (form Mopar in the 80's). Upgraded computer module and intake. Rebuilt turbo 2 with intercooler and a few other goodies. It's putting out about 230 horses, handles like it's on rails, and I'm averaging 28 MPG (city). At $4 a gallon (premium) thats worth jumping around a bit. This is my daily driver. My other car is a 1970 Charger R/T. But it needs a full resto... Someday. Used to have a '87 pacifica turbo with T tops. Miss that car, but replaced it with the '86. The '86 is in great shape but could use a paint job.

'92 Daytona that I bought new; Aqua Pearl; 2.5L TBI and 5-speed; 292K miles on original engine; daily driver; rusty but runs well.


84 Daytona Turbo Z that I bought in Jan 2008 as 4th owner; Garnet Pearl; 2.2L T1 and 5-speed; 116K miles.
