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.

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.

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!

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.

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..

I've got a 1986 Daytona Shelby TII... :)

~Amanda

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..
