Guest MiamiTVR Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I do not yet own a TC but hope to soon and am curious as to performance modifications on the V-6. I do not think 140 hp is going to be satisfactory but a four speed automatic has appeal.I have seen mention of modifications to the turbo fours that the owners seem pleased with. Are there some for the the sixes and that transmission?Getting a bit extreme maybe, would a Mit. 3000 VR4 twin turbo work in one of these? I imagine in this modern age the electronics might be too weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowancom Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 If you want a car you car modify for more performance DO NOT look at a 3 liter V6 T/C. I own all three models-- 2.2 sohc turbo.2.2 dohc turbo and 3 liter V6. The V6 can gain 15hp by replacing the muffler system with 2.5 pipes and a high flow muffler. Replacing the throtle body up to a 52mm can gain a few more hp. The most fun you can have with mods is replace the tranny with a five speed. I've seen 2 done. Be prepared to spent at least $5000 for the job. You need to find a donar 3 liter V6 5 speed Daytona-LeBaron-Shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 As Bill suggested above, most of the guys who mod the 3 liter motors are on that link he put up. Gains are possible on the V6 just harder to come by. Best three, a good exhaust, a free flowing intake, and a bigger throttle body from the larger V6 class of FWD Chryslers. After that it gets spendy for diminishing returns. A custom turbo (or a Rotrex supercharger is easier to work because it's belt driven and 'universal') would be much less work than a 3000 GT motor swap. I like you thinking though Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MiamiTVR Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks for the input and suggestions. That site was great. At the least I have learned that others have the same interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
