I still have my 91 Daytona IROC RT. Not stock, pulled the balance shafts, titanium lifters, Adjustable cam gears, 2.5 exhaust, aftermarket computer and a copy of prototype cold ram air hood. She flat hauls ass.
My sister had an 1988 IROC Daytona, but it had the 2.2 8v intercooled turbo with a 5 speed. It was black with a black leather interior. Closest I got was a 1990 Spirit T1 2.5 turbo with an auto that I bought for $500. It had the Mitsu TE04H turbo and it was junk. I paid $50 for a used auto trans and I paid the dude a case of beer to swap it for me. I also bought a Daytona T3 .48 turbo and the engine snapped a rod before I could swap it in, so it went onto my 1992 Acura Integra.
I had a green '92. Kept breaking timing belt tensioners back in the day and I didn't know enough about them at the time to fix it. But when I had it running on an HX35 and mega squirt it ripped all the way to 150. Never figured out how much power it was making or took it to the track. Got offered a lot of money for it. I think lots of Shelby's ended up with it
Back in the day I put a 3" cat back exhaust in my R/T and that thing would hit 60MPH before I got out of second gear. Ambushed many drivers with that sedan. Great memories!😛
My dad bought brand new in 1979 a Plymouth Horizon TC3, special order two tone silver/black, alum. mag wheels, black interior, 4 speed, buckets seats, gauges, no a/c, no p/s, no p/b, no p/w, from 79' to about the mid 90's he put 500k miles on it commuting to Tampa for work. Aside from regular maintenance, He had to rebuild the engine three times, at about 150k miles each time. still had original clutch and four speed transmission, never touched them. He quit driving it in the mid 90's when it developed fatigue cracks in the front strut towers. It was never in a crash, no rust, and I repainted it once and installed a new windshield. When he put it out to pasture in 1995 ish (we had 6 acres), it was still in decent shape, but eventually we gave it to a junk yard for scrap, along with our 1966 Chevy c10 (rusty, 66k miles) yard truck! I'm kind of wishing I had still kept it all these years, it would not have been hard to restore.
Seriously, when I was 16 I had a chance to get one of those white 1988 Escort GTs and I wanted it SO badly, but I couldn't afford it. I've been looking for one ever since.

Thanks for posting this Richard my first car ever was a 1986 Dodge Daytona turbo Z I paid $900 for it back in 2004. The head gasket blew, the frame rotted out, and in 2008 when the economy crashed I was completely broke and junked it for $100. I know I know I'm crying too I'll probably regret it the rest of my life but at the time I had to get something to eat
I like that Spirit RT ... it's so K car in a little nicer pair of jeans. That it rips is cool. Imagine spiking the boost and dusting off Bubba GoldChain in his Vette in Captain K.
The shift linkage improvements in 1990 made my 5-speed Spirit so much nicer than my ‘84 600ES turbo. Maybe that’s how he had 3rd gear issues. And the 2.5’s balance shaft made it so much smoother cruising home from work
Your R/T wasnt running right then. My 92 Daytona R/T was hitting high 13's on stock boost with straight three inch exhaust, upgraded clutch and Cooper Cobra tires. Every other R/T owner ive ran into had similar times as me
@@Whats-It-To-Ya It was all stock, 1200' track the DA was probably 2000'. I put newer tires on it, wider and lower profile and got it down to 14.2 1/4. I got the car to run 13.2 @105 with open exhaust and 22" slicks, beating every Corvette at the track (Corvette club night) year was 1995-96.

@@Whats-It-To-Ya Ha, I never broke an axle in the Spirit, the M/T slicks were bought for my Omni and they were only 22" tall, this was before they made the taller ones. I did break the intermediate shaft about 2 years later, replaced that with a new one and oil pump and sold the car. It was fun.
Had the 1st NHRA FWD Stock Eliminator in the 13’s. NHRA Record A/FS 13.26 @ 99.6 w/ a ’87 Daytona Shelby Z 5-speed. Was still my daily driver. This was before lap-top tuning. Car was soooo much fun!!!
Fun! My Dad couldn't afford one, but my Uncle had a eurocar shop and so they took a Yugo, pryed in a Spyder 2.0T engine and drivetrain, and then he could race them 🤣😂🏁
A fellow from Canada picked the best parts of these two cars. He used the lightweight platform of the GLHS charger and the engine from the Spirit R/T and ran 8.05 at at 175 around 2007, before it was easy to go fast.
Nice fun video My buddy sister had a plain Jane stock Omni, it was so slow but in cornered like it's on rails !! It also had the deepest deep dish steering wheel ever made
Man, I had a 1990 dark red Spirit turbo back in the day that I paid $500 for, but it was a 2.5 8 valve Turbo I with an automatic and it was rated at 150 HP. It had the TE04H turbo and it was SLOW. I always wanted to put the Daytona T3 on it and I bought a Daytona .48 T3, but the 2.5 blew up around a turn when it was starved of oil, so I put the T3 on my Acura Integra. Still, I would've given anything to own this Spirit R/T. That 16V intercooled engine was legendary and still is. It was the predecessor to the SRT4.
Are you sure the Turbo was working? I bought/sold those cars in the 90's and a lot had blown Turbo's...My parents had a Daytona with a 2.5 Turbo and it lit the tires up when 3/4 floored and would run with a 5.0 Mustang to about 80,sister/brother in-law owned two 5.0 Mustangs 88 and 93....The Daytona ran 14.9-15.2 in the 1/4 with the 2.5 Turbo! Yes I took it to the track,car was bone stock and AUTOMATIC! 1990 Black Cherry Daytona ES full body kit,2.5 turbo auto had 50,000 miles circa 1994'ish that car was always babied Moms car and the turbo worked on that one until they sold it with 200,000 miles in 2006! If you didnt change the oil every 3000 miles say good bye to the turbo!! They put the Shelby Daytona wheels on it when new,they didnt like the intricate design of the es wheels. I bought many Turbo cars and my Brother and myself raced a identical pair of 1985 Daytona Turbo-Z I bought ,one had 130,000 miles,1 owner and mint,the other was 70,000 miles and driven hard bought off a 20 something year old vs the 60 year old... I thought the 70,000 mile one it ran perfect even performance until we raced..The other both Daytona's same year 1985 both same axle ratio,same trans and turbo I 2.2 he pulled on me and gaped me by 6 cars by 100 mph,well he said he stopped at 100 I was not even 90mph! So that tells you there... I bought many others and same deal some were rockets some were slow like you said...I made tens of thousands on those cars,they sold like crazy here! That pair of Daytona's were my first turbo cars I bought around 93...did that until 99,then graduated to only 60's-70's Mopar Muscle Cars and restored and sold them.. My best sleeper of the bunch was a plain 1988 Sundance 2 door 2.2 Turbo,5 speed manual,base model,only tell tail was the bulge on the hood that turbo Shadow/Sundance had..That car was babied and ran perfect and very quick..A couple times I beat unsuspecting Camaro Z-28's and 5.0 Mustangs..When you get the boost up on take off it knocks off up to 2 seconds off the magazine tested 0-60 and 1/4 mile(some were total clowns how they tested them lol),I tried at the track...just gotta watch wheel spin when raising boost even on automatics..That White base model Sundance had low miles under 50,000 I think and was like new...basically stole the car,they sold it to me for trade in value that was nothing in 1997.I generally made 2k off all those Daytona and other fwd Chrysler cars then,know how to buy them and sell them..I did repair the turbo's that were faulty,I mean main selling point is them to be somewhat quick..For an 80's ride 14-15 second 1/4 mile cars were real good in that dark decade..I gotta look for a Turbo Dodge now!
I wanted to find a Spirit R/T DOHC and transplant it into my 87 CSX, this was back in 97 so those R/T engines were still pretty spendy. Wish never sold my CSX, still one of the best handling stock cars I have owned.
I was a used car wholesaler one time in the early 2000s I bought one of those Spirit RT broke had a hard time getting it running but it was really a fun car bought it out out of what they called the salvage sale not running another one of the cars I had that I wished I could have kept
Weight over drive axle is a huge traction factor. It's why my L-bodies have always made my P, K, G, J and E bodies feel like junk when driving in the snow. Deflate the rear tires on both of those cars with the exact same tire and watch the tires stay up on the Omni. 😜
Need more power, you ain't living until you are squeezing 350+ out of these cars. Super 60 turbo minimum. I have csxt with a 50 trim turbo pushing 25-30 psi and holy balls it's a rocket! 555 with a 520 ring gear for longer gearing makes it a great highway car, full boost @3500 rpm. Cruise at 80 and just tickle the gas and you're gone.
The t3 is a great sounding engine. I have an iroc r/t and 89 shelby daytona 5speed with low miles. Nice cars. The shelby is fast with a stage 3 computer but that iroc when it ran right was a beast.

The 782 swirl head flows like crap, and doesn't do well even with porting. A 655 bathtub head would be best, with the largest aftermarket valves you can buy. Also the T1 early engines came with the large rods. The early NA 2.2's had the best flowing head, especially for boost. Port one of those and put it on your high hp engine. Also the bigger the plenum the better when it comes to the 8 valve. Real weapons when built right.
@@richardholdener1727 yeah you want a large plenum to insure the 8 valve head doesn't run out of air on the top end. The two piece port matched isn't terrible? But still doesn't have the volume in the plenum. VNT engines or super old 2.2's have forged cranks and the large rods. Most people get a little north of 450hp off those internals.

This R/T needs a tune-up and a better driver because that Omni shouldn't be anywhere close to that R/T regardless of the weight difference.
