So when do we get a turbo Dodge forum?

We've got as many turbo Chrysler products as we do Skylines, more actually? So what gives? :scratch:

Because Skylines are cool, chryslers for the most part aren't, that's why those crazy Albertans get a forum.

Fixed for Levi....... :salute:

Sure, but now I feel like shit because my turbo convertible isn't as cool as a duke powered 25 year old hooptie. :sadness:

If you had a turbo dodge forum would you spend more time on this forum? You have not been around much in the last year or so.

Pshaw. I visit just about every day. Just don't have much to say.

I fixed this by stopping going to OE old turkey. I may visit in the upcoming months because thats how I keep in touch with the guys I am going to the 25th with, and when I dyno my 87 (estimating 750whp) I'll post results and say hob goblins at the strip kept me in the 12s, and due to a hole in the space time continuum my dyno results will stay under 400whp.

Im with you on the turbo dodge forum stimpy. My omni is not the coolest car around but I have fun with it ha. The only thing I dont like about it is its not too reliable but I guess thats to be expected with any 23 year old car.

crzyone · Post by **crzyone** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 3:36 am

You can expect that with just about any 80s car. Quality didn't seem to be high on the agenda.

Turbo dodge forum? You're posting in it. "Other Cars" :thumbleft:
Post away!

crzyone · Post by **crzyone** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 7:38 pm

I've requested the AWD be taken out of the skyline forum header. That way you FWD turbo guys can post there as well.

Feel free to start posting there, I won't move it.

Reliability is boring.

Yeah, wondering if you are going to make it where you are going is always exciting.... :blah5:

Hey guys, could one of you try putting your turbo dodge in a Fiero? Then we'd compare it to the 260-HP Ecotec. Is the dodge trans any stronger than the Getrag? I bet the Mitsu Evo IX (9) if it weren't so unobtainable. -Atilla

I would say one of the strongest transverse manual transmissions has to be the SRT-4 transmission. Lots of 500-600hp cars running around with the stock transmissions. Those motors actually make torque and can run sticky tires that can cut a 1.6 60' time. Makes the transmission that much more amazing.

The Evo has an AWD transmission, I don't think you could adapt it to FWD very easily. Even if you remove the driveshaft it probably won't work properly. I don't know for sure.

Possibly the strongest of all transverse manual transmissions is the NSX 5 speed. Not sure, hard to directly compare all the transmissions because they make different power bands and can be in a FWD or RWD car.
