I absolutely love seeing a car that has run in years back on the road!

[@gainerman]

Have not seen one of those on the road for ages .this was from back in the day when you could get a firebird with a 4cyl

[@lifeonadime4703]

These cars really are cool. They are the building blocks of what brought us srt4 neons and the like. Too cool 😎

[@gofastparts4u]

I believe that's the same blue that was on my blue and silver '86 Shelby Charger. Such a great color!

[@richardholdener1727]

Very cool!

[@georgedreisch2662]

I worked at a Chrysler dealership back in this era, (80’s), and your series is giving me flashbacks! I recall a large percentage of our complaints stemming from the harness and connectors, especially, leakage across pins, for moisture contamination. Seem to remember a main feed wire being adjacent to the O2 sensor pin, and having 13 volts bleeding across into that circuit. Our fix was to isolate / remove the feed from the connector. Not sure it was Chrysler sanctioned. Anyway, even then, they were interesting, for the potentials, and Direct Connection was starting to come out with parts and pieces, as well as swapping parts across the different vehicle models.

I have always wanted to get a 2 piece intake but the one on my 2.5 does the job, the clean valve cover and 2 piece look so great. 🇺🇸

That OTC Monitor 4000E is old as hell. I had one. I bought it used in 1990. It was stolen out of my truck in 1992.

Thank you Richard. I have one of these to build.

Back in 89 my friend picked up one of these it was the first turbo car I ever drove. I learned quickly that fwd cars with any decent amount of power suck. The torque steer was unreal

torque steer is only a problem if you drive full wrist mode

I like the car and think it’s neat. Would like to have the time to do a rx-7 like this. I think it’s similar to this. Once you realize it’s not hard to work on or rebuild it becomes fun like this and the razor rebuild that could’ve drove you home if you had to.

Go for it!

[@david929190]

I'd seen David Vizard out out a video on porting the heads for this engine and he'd mentioned doing a collaboration with you. Is this going to happen? Would love to see dyno results.

[@richardholdener1727]

YES-HE IS PORTING A HEAD FOR ME

[@gmcnelly2468]

Off the subject, I/we need your help in convincing SCAT to produce a decent crank for the 4.3 GM v6, something along the lines of the NASCAR crank. I don't think it need to be forged. This crank would allow us to use normal SBC rods. SCAT is totally unresponsive to use mere mortals. THANKS

[@divadyrdnal]

I always tease non Mopar guys for painting their engine compartments body color…

[@619omni]

When stabbing the motor in these I always take the crank pulley off, much easier with the tight fit

[@brandonglatfelter771]

Load leveler on the cherry picker is key also

[@Icufed]

Did you ever dyno test 2.2 head that David Vizard did for you?

[@richardholdener1727]

have not tested the 2.2l yet

So didn't some of those have intercooler from the factory?

Isn't it technically a Mitsubishi engine? Mean lets b real, Dodge has been dead for many many years! It's just a name, not a actual in house company...

No lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIuTnIesaN6eqpY

Nothing about it is Mitsubishi based. That was the 3.0 stuff or starquest cars

[@richardholdener1727]

The 2.2L was Dodge-not Mitsu

[@blk77sunshn]

Nope.... Dodge all round.... these 2.2 turbos were cool cars to drive, my buddy had one, I loved cruising around in it...

[@benhowe2087]

I am sorry. I do not understand the point of this build. It is awful. Even on a no budget build you can do so much more. Balance the rods and pistons on a cheep gram scale. Port the cylinder head and pay for a good valve grind. You seats are way to wide for flow. Then hand blend in the bowls and chambers. Back blend the valves on the drill press after the grind. Install a reground cam with more lift and duration. Weld up a exhaust manifold or at a minimum instal a larger eBay turbo. Larger injectors and mega squirt. Pay to balance the crank, flywheel and pressure plate. Probably end up with close to 300 hp with very little additional expense.

[@Mayamax3]

Feel free to do just that, then post it on KZbin.

@@Mayamax3 I have done just this to many Alfa Romeo’s. Never did a video of it though.

Ben-You miss the point of this build-every motor is not about maximum power. This build was designed to be a STOCK 1987 2.2L turbo swap motor and was just that.
