My wife has one sitting in the garage with 100 thousand miles. It is fun because you can really surprise a corvette guy and blow his doors off. Ours needs a new front valance and a paint job Colorado sun is brutal on paint. Have fun with that one it looks good.
Had good friends over 20 years ago that were real big in the 2.2 turbos. One of them Ed, he probably still has his VNT Daytona. He also has the Shelby CSX Turbo II. It was built up with a cam and other stuff giving him around 230 to 240 hp. Crazy thing, I rode in it and it was more linear like the Daytona wit little lag. I was pushed back in the seat but it was more subtle to me. I hope it is still running. Time moved on and I lost contact with them. Great guys!
I've had many turbo fwd Moaprs and they are sooooooo much fun, just got a 100% stock 2004 Neon srt4 and looking to start on dependable mods, also have a 36.000 km 99 regular cab Dakota RT(42 sold new in Canada) 71 383 Road Runner, had a 68 440 GTX, Mopar or no car!!!!!!!!!!!
With low pressure cast TBI pistons and cast TBI rods, I was surprised all you did was seize your rings and pop the tops. It was also depressing when I saw the new video since a lot of folks get to that point and junk a whole project. Are you going to put a turbo bottom end back in it? Also did you run a head marked "TS"?(tapered shroud, to help prevent detonation) I liked what you did with the intake. You have to be pretty decent at welding to deal with the horrible silica voids in those intakes.
@@marklucas3140 Thanks for watching, and honestly I was hoping that a rod was gonna break and really grenade it since the block was already cracked, the engine going in now is a 91 2.5 turbo 1 engine, I’m putting fresh gaskets and rod bearings in and seeing how long it’ll last
Glad to hear you're keeping it. Looking forward to watching more of the build. Have you ever thought of getting a FWD? The L bodies have excellent power to weight ratio!
@@marklucas3140 My dad has a rampage, it’s pearl white with Shelby charger ground effects on it, his is 2.2 turbo 2 setup, I have a picture of it on my instagram
The VNTs don't have a wastegate at all. The nozzle vanes are your only boost control. That's why boost control is difficult with an open exhaust. I think more people should experiment with external wastegates with these. Could be really trick, but most people get lazy and swap them to TII.
I recently bought #327. Guy says he replaced the VNT25 with a vnt28, which added some extra lag but I'm still only getting around 12 psi boost. What else do I need to do to this car to get more out of this vnt28?
@@YostBuilt if I lived nearby I'd almost have to ask for some help. Would love this car to run right. I may just take the vnt28 out and find a stock vnt25 to put back in.

Cool car with a cool history. They just dont make them like they used to. Nice to see it's in good shape.
I have a RUclips channel I keep updated on mine. #327
We have the 87 and 89 ...and a few other turbo dodges we try to keep in good condition
@@YostBuilt same. I've got an 87 an 89.
I realize Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Luciano Harold Flixportal :D

I love all cars but turbo dodges from the 80's are what i started with
The torque is pretty impressive my Dakota with the 2.5 is running 16 lbs so hopefully it’s right around there

Haha! I was just working on a white Rampage last night! Over in Georgia. You guys are closer to where I live though. Out by KC? I'm near STL.

I actually found a little VNT manual boost controller recently. It's set up to where it can hook right up to the Garrett VNT.
Its a wastegate style thing that controls the vnt stuff ...crazy tech for 1989
Vane actuator. 😝☺
Surprised the unibody is even there at 185,000 miles !
What's up with hanging Cleetus upside down in the corner? ;)
Its a joke that many ppl miss ...I've met him and he is not joking when he says he is tall
@anonymous i might consider it depending on the offer! Inbox my on Facebook ...has all 4 new tire and a nee front window now too!
Did this car come from the Dallas Rice collection in Missouri?
This car come from a friend who had it sitting in his shop in Nebraska for 15 plus years
140 hp 189 tq my guess

Tune is everything

I have one, do you guys still tune them?
