Daytona IROC R/T VS Conquest TSI - 10/29/2004 10:54:56 PM    RUFF27   Posts: 1 Joined: 10/29/2004 Status: offline Hi, everyone I hope finally I can find some advice here. I currently own a 92, Daytona blue I've put all kinds of love into making this car look good but the poor little blue is just the basic 4 banger. I've been searching for an IROC R/T but havent found squat. I am purchasing an 89 Conquest TSI, a great buy at $850 and only needs a turbo seal and a paint job. So, the questions are 1. Who has the bigger balls an IROC R/T or the TSI( dont be byist daytona lovers I wouldn't trade mine for the world.) 2. If I cant find a R/T could a TSI motor be injected to my 92 es. Yes, I am aware the daytona is FWD and the TSI RWD. I want to know if it could be done or if I am just dreaming about Monster Garage Post #: 1

When they came out they were dubbed the fastest FWD car built in North America. I have driven a few TSI's and wasn't very impressed, which was very disappointing since everone seemed to rave about how quick and fast they were. My Shelby Z was far more impressive than any of the TSI's I drove. I do love the looks and the design of the TSI. The TSI's are well known for blowing heads (insert joke here), so be prepared. Instead of trying to swap the TSI's 2.6 turbo into your Daytona it would probably be just as easy to convert the Daytona to RWD and drop a 340 or 360 into it. If you want a much easier project, drop a 340 or 360 into the TSI, it is far easier to do and there is a Mopar magazine that did just that as a project. I was wanting to drop a 440 into my Shelby Z, but I didn't have the time and money to do it. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.

RE: Daytona IROC R/T VS Conquest TSI - 11/6/2004 1:56:56 AM    71RoadRunner Posts: 9543 Joined: 7/28/2003 From: United States Status: offline Mopar Performance made a RWD conversion kit for the Daytona years ago, but it is no longer available from them. If you can find one of these conversion kits it would be far easier, but it can be done without it, it would just take more time and effort. Swapping the 2.6L turbo will be just as difficult as the V8 RWD swap. If you plan on spending the time and money on it, I would recommend you try instead to get an SRT-4 2.4L turbo or a 2.2L Turbo II. Or better yet, get a built 2.2L Turbo Enforcer II or III from Forward Motion, here is a link to them: http://www.forwardmotioninc.com/html/catalog/enforcer_engines.htm _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.

They are a very good company to work with and stand behind their goodies. Keep in mind, this guy is a specialist on our engines, so he knows every detail about them, I promise. _____________________________ 1987 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z 2004 Dodge Rumble Bee 2004 Jeep GC SE 1998 Drag Banshee (in reply to 71RoadRunner) Post #: 6

He does custom conversions and builds the chassis parts himself. He even has a link (somewhere) to his video on youtube of his 91 doin a burnout.

Uhh yeah right....go with the IROC. theres more of a market out there and if you put a hybrid on em and some lonewolf stuff you will have a FAST car. _____________________________ 93 Iroc Daytona- In progress (in reply to damageincracing) Post #: 9

The only advantage held by that TSI is that its rear drive layout.  Guarantee you can rod that daytona much cheaper... (in reply to outsider75) Post #: 14
