V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 1/11/2007 1:58:20 PM    sktm   Posts: 15 Joined: 7/14/2006 Status: offline Hi, I am a Daytona V6 owner and I want this mofo turbocharged.  I don't feel like spending $500 - $1000 on a turbocharger to "see" if I can get one going.  So I created an online petition and maybe with enough signatures we can get one of these companies to hear our voice and start creating us some turbochargers! http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/daytonav6/ _____________________________ + '92 Dodge Daytona 3.0L V6 // Kenwood 6 Disc Changer - 400watt Infinite Amp - Two 12" Rockford Fosgate Punches // Want to swap to DOHC!!!!!

I currently drive a car (92 GEO Storm) that I converted to turbo .......keep in mind, there are NO kits or other performance parts made for that car. The idea of a kit is kinda silly to me...... I see these Honda boys dumping 2-3k into a turbo kit....and I did mine for around $500...(plus i bought a welder to do my own welding on the project).  I would suggest a set T-Bird turbos.  They are old IHI's.... good reliable and capable of enough boost to push you hard...with mininmal spool up time.  The flange is really easy to fabricate for it. Good luck. _____________________________ Anti-Elitist Isuzu club ringleader Send all complaints to: PO Box 4022 Centerline, Mi 48015 or call 248 506 0298 (in reply to sktm) Post #: 2

Unless you have an import or a Neon, most aftermarket companies don't care. I've been trying to find parts for my 85 2.2 for years with no luck other than bigger injectors or a different regulator. Like the 71 Buick I had, nobody made performance parts for a 71 BUICK engine. Chevy parts all over the place, but they're not the same... Best bet would be to hit a fab shop and have the parts made, or make 'em yourself... (in reply to MALACHI) Post #: 3

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 1/12/2007 11:52:27 PM    MALACHI   Posts: 19 Joined: 12/19/2006 Status: offline I was thinking about this thread today...... There are 3 types of turbos you can get. #1 is the ones that come in the under $1,000 kits on eBay. They are poorly made using inferior steel for the manifold.....and cheap chinese turbo's  #2 quaility aftermarket turbos and custom manifold.  They cost much more than the $1000 price you were asking.  However they don't break. #3 factory turbos off of other cars.  This option is far and away the most cost effective.  You can get them for as little as $30-50 each...and they are reliable and dependable.  And made by good companies.  You can then spend more on the exhaust manifolds to get better ones made. _____________________________ Anti-Elitist Isuzu club ringleader Send all complaints to: PO Box 4022 Centerline, Mi 48015 or call 248 506 0298 (in reply to damageincracing) Post #: 4

Although if you get the turbo used a rebuild kit is usually fairly inexpensive. (in reply to MALACHI) Post #: 5

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 1/14/2007 12:18:35 PM    MALACHI   Posts: 19 Joined: 12/19/2006 Status: offline I 100% agree with the rebuild of a used turbo.  That is the only way I have ever done it.  A rebuild is pretty easy... if you know what you are doing..... and also easy if you get an exploded view of the turbo.  I rebuilt mine for about $75-80 or so.... balancing was another $10-20......however .....most balance jobs I have heard people get is in the $80 range. _____________________________ Anti-Elitist Isuzu club ringleader Send all complaints to: PO Box 4022 Centerline, Mi 48015 or call 248 506 0298 (in reply to 89Daytona) Post #: 6

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 3/28/2007 3:53:04 PM    irocelectric93   Posts: 34 Joined: 3/28/2007 Status: offline First off....for a 3.0 a single turbo is best generally...unless you want to spend alot of time with it.  A t3/t4 hybrid is good...just make sure you get the right size. go with a .63 a/r and probably 50 trim...thats what im going with. A kit sounds good in theory but in reality its just not going to happen.  Money is just the key factor....you can get away with only spending a little but you wont get great results....spend a bit and youll beat srt4s no prob.  Could always stick to n/a and if you build it right can run really low 14s possibly high 13s on slicks. _____________________________ 93 Iroc Daytona- In progress (in reply to MALACHI) Post #: 7

There are several places with 2.2L performance parts such as fwdperformance.com and relentlessracing.com. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 3/30/2007 12:41:41 AM    irocelectric93   Posts: 34 Joined: 3/28/2007 Status: offline Funny you say that....a couple have been turboed with great results.  Some of the engines do leak but its almost always an easy fix.  You think your better off with a 2.2 or 2.5 but really the 3.0 has  way greater potential if turboed right. Even a mild setup would be awesome.  You can safely run 5 psi through em without forged internals...and if you regap the rings probably a bit more.  Brent Seman was beating srt4s on 5psi...the only reason why his car failed is simply because he wasnt running a high flow fuel pump and ran too much boost and starved the fuel.  He was running high 13s with it. The thing about swapping to a 4 cylinder is your are going to undergo the same work...at pretty much the same price or more.  _____________________________ 93 Iroc Daytona- In progress (in reply to 71RoadRunner) Post #: 9

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 4/3/2007 4:25:59 PM    irocelectric93   Posts: 34 Joined: 3/28/2007 Status: offline The turbo off the conquest is like a mitsu 14b or 17b or something.  That turbo would work for quick spool action on the street but its kinda too small believe it or not.  I know some guys who put a turbo on a 3.0 that is VERY similar to the conquests turbo and they seen some decent results but overall powerband isn't too great.  The car has off the line spool but it the boost doesnt pull through the powerband like it should.  A properly sized hybrid is the way to go trust me.   I bought a conquest turbo a while back.....and changed my mind for my project.  Do what you want but id stick with a hybrid.  _____________________________ 93 Iroc Daytona- In progress (in reply to drgnkpr17201) Post #: 11

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 4/25/2007 3:34:15 AM    outsider75   Posts: 38 Joined: 4/25/2007 Status: offline the 3.0 has tons of potential its just overlooked due to the vast availability of the 2.2 2.5 turbo tonas.  alot of people have been doing the 3.0 24 valve SOHC swap into daytonas and shadows with great results. and lots of people have done turbo installs on these engines and they show awesome results. here are some links to 3.0 turbo sites.

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 4/26/2007 6:06:32 PM    irocelectric93   Posts: 34 Joined: 3/28/2007 Status: offline I only know one guy who swapped a 24v into his shadow and it having problems getting it to run with his megasquirt right.  I dunno all the details though.  Honestly if more people would be will to actually stick with the 3.0 12v setup and do real work to em (heads and cams etc) more companies would jump on and make products.  _____________________________ 93 Iroc Daytona- In progress (in reply to outsider75) Post #: 13

RE: V6 Turbo Kit Petition - 4/27/2007 12:19:50 AM    Ondonti   Posts: 8 Joined: 3/30/2007 Status: offline I think....this is a video of my turbo 3.0 boat anchor that will destroy mr srt-4's ignorance and his pathetic little srt-4 http://videos.streetfire.net/video/957c359f-3ec1-4c36-bbcf-988d013997be.htm Sorry you dont know anything about engines! I hope you educate yourself. I hope you think its cool that 2.2-2.5's need to have their engine block coolant passages filled (cant drive the car on the street anymore) to make 300hp/liter and 6g7x blocks can make 500+hp/liter with no block filling. This obviously isnt a "displacement" issue either. 2.5L can only make 600crank hp before filling blocks. 3.0L can make 1500crank hp without filling the block. In face there has never been such a failure. I think I know which is the boat anchor. Nelson performance has a few TWIN gt4202 mitsu v6's that can be driven on the street with a stock block. Thats 2000whp worth of turbo. < Message edited by Ondonti -- 4/27/2007 12:35:06 AM > (in reply to irocelectric93) Post #: 14
