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.

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 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.

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 .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.

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.
