Turbo engines
 

Possible candiate for a sticky, as most interested in G body cars are running with turbos.

Turbo I: 2.2 & 2.5l, Non-intercooled, 146 HP 1984-1986. Can be brought to Turbo II specs with the addition of an intercooler.

Turbo II: 2.2l, intercooled, 174 HP, 1987-1993 Most common in the Daytona, best parts availablity

Turbo III: 2.2l DOHC 16 valve, 224 HP, 1991-93 (IROC and RT only) Lotus designed the head and Maserati manufactured the engines for Chrysler; 1991 engines are known for head cracking. Replacement heads are difficult to find and prohibitively expensive.

Turbo IV: 2.2l, intercooled, Variable Nozzle Technology, 25 ft/lbs increase over Turbo II, noted as being unreliable (CSX only)

Forward Motion is THE company to deal with if you're building a G-body (or any other FWD chrysler. They have all kinds of goodies for normally aspirated or Turbocharged 2.2 & 2.5 engines, 2.0 and 2.4l SOHC and DOHC motors (including the A855 2.4 Turbo) and even for the 3.0l SOHC.

t1 was made after 1986, and good luck inter-cooling a t1 with the stock garrett turbo and old intake, there are a few other differences. vnt was also offered in other vehicles other than the csx.

super chargers vs turbos
 

• how much power does turbos put out?
• do i need to go dual turbos to = the amount of power i can get from a super charger?

for my 72 charger SE, 440 mag

in lotus turbo engine goes 100,000 mph it's a space craft. This car was to be the end of the line for the Esprit but a canceled project for a front engine car had left lotus parts with a compact V8 and no car to put it into.
