coast v6 or turbo auto is cool...danke.

still intrested jerry, got some stuff to iron out first..you remember.

from what i have read, the simple solution is to use a garret, get a oilpump, and a 6 psi waste gate. To handle fuel you drop in 2 more injectors wired to a pressure valve, when you got boost you pump in more juice.....
-
does the v6 use the same smec as the the turbo 2...not the same valuse but physicaly and electronicly the same?

Hmm, a close neighbor of mine to my shop in Saticoy, CA
He's the guy who did a lot of work with the Buick Grand National.
He has quite the race shop here building race engines for many record holding cars as well as Bonneville racers. </div></div>well whats your take on a remote mounted turbo? </div></div>
I know you are asking Hemi, but I'll add my .02while he is getting back to us
Remote mount systems are a bit complicated because you have to not only route the hot exhaust gasses to them, but you have to get the compressed charge air back to the intercooler/intake of the motor. Remote mount systems are popular on cars that were not originally equiped with turbochargers and have no room underhood for them. One make that has embraced them are the '04-'06 GTO owners. I've seen at least a dozen of the late model GTO's so equiped. I've also seen 550-575WHP dyno sheets from those cars
They are doing something right for sure!
Alan </div></div>so like the v6 tc..it never was intened to have a turbo.

i think that big old garret from the 2.2 a 7 psi waste gate and mount it back by the rear bumper would do the job
-
yup just like that, 3.0 toque and turbo boost...not bad notion.
-
you know, a simple long pipe turbo setup might not be that tough..no intercooler just the blower back near the bumper like the rice rocket boys do it.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: cowancom</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Well.....if you really want to turn the TC into more of a fun to drive auto.....take out the lazyboys!!!!!! After taking the seats and motors out of my car I was shocked at the fact they weighed over 220lbs. The MOMO seats I replaced them with are 15lbs each. Also where your bottom sets is 10 inches lower than with the stock seats. Lets see---lower weight, lower center of gravity, equals weeeeeeee.
</div></div>interesting, got any other pics?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Hemi Dude</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So you totaled it. That shouldn't mean that you can't salvage all those good parts for another yellow 8-valve 2.2L, does it?
Maybe you have already let it go to the salvage yard, BIG mistake although you already know what you can do with the 8-valve, so you get another and do it again.
The 3.0L drives very nicely but isn't going to give you the feel of that turbo boost unless you install a turbo on it.
However the 3.0L is the easiest to live with and maintain so long as you consider the car 'just another driver.' </div></div>thats a possiablity however how much more does the v6 weigh than the 4..any idea?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Hemi Dude</div><div class="ubbcode-body">inventorgtp guy, your questions have not indicated what sort of interest you have in a TC. Are you looking for a car that is a generally good driver all around?
A car that needs the least maintenance? Then the one for you would be one with the 3.0L V6.
This engine is the same as all other FDW Chrysler products used from '87 and into the 90's. The weak point on these cars would be the 41TE transaxle, aka 604.
If you are interested in a performance car, the 16 valve TC with the 5 speed Getrag trans should be your choice.
The 8 valve 2.2L with the 3 speed automatic is (in my opinion) a dog. It would need a lot of spicing up to be a 'fun' car to drive and as long as it had the 3 speed automatic transaxle, I don't see how it could.
I converted my 8 valve TC from the 3 speed automatic to a 5 speed and with a better SMEC (engine controller) I find it to perform almost as well as a 16 valve model.
So, let us know what you really desire. </div></div> Hemi, my "blondi" was a fully tricked out 2.2 turbo (2.5" exaust, low bp cat, stage 3 smec, filtron, cam key, upgraded transmission, koni's) but i totaled it
. I do love the yellow color, loved the feel when the turbo came on big time, but having never driven a v6 verison i dont know. I would think the v6's extra weight cannot do anything good for the handling. As far as 16v go's dont want that headache, a 5 speed, that might be fun but a auto is just fine too.
