Hi, I am a Daytona V6 owner and I want this **** turbocharged. I don't feel like spending $500 - $1000 on a turbocharger to "see" if I can get one going. So I created an online petition and maybe with enough signatures we can get one of these companies to hear our voice and start creating us some turbochargers!

With a V6..... just have two exaust manifolds made....($150???) with the flange you want for your turbos of choice. I would look into either a pair from some old Probe's(Mazda 626/MX-6, Isuzu I-Markor the T-Birds. You really don't need a big set.... smaller would work much better for the size motor. An increase in fuel is pretty basic. I would estimate you should be able to turbo a V6 in under $1,000 total. Or less if you are very handy. Then even less.
I currently drive a car (92 GEO Storm) that I converted to turbo .......keep in mind,there are NO kits or other performance parts made for that car.
The idea of a kit is kinda silly to me...... I see these Honda boys dumping 2-3k into a turbo kit....and I did mine for around $500...(plus i bought a welder to do my own welding on the project).
I would suggest a set T-Bird turbos. They are old IHI's.... good reliable and capable of enough boost to push you hard...with mininmal spool up time. The flange is really easy to fabricate for it.
Good luck.

 

Good luck trying to get ANY aftermarket company to make any performance parts. Unless you have an import or a Neon, most aftermarket companies don't care. I've been trying to find parts for my 85 2.2 for years with no luck other than bigger injectors or a different regulator. Like the 71 Buick I had, nobody made performance parts for a 71 BUICK engine. Chevy parts all over the place, but they're not the same... Best bet would be to hit a fab shop and have the parts made, or make 'em yourself...

 

I was thinking about this thread today......
There are 3 types of turbos you can get.
#1 is the ones that come in the under $1,000 kits on eBay.
They are poorly made using inferior steel for the manifold.....and cheap chinese turbo's
#2 quaility aftermarket turbos and custom manifold.
They cost much more than the $1000 price you were asking. However they don't break.
#3 factory turbos off of other cars. This option is far and away the most cost effective. You can get them for as little as $30-50 each...and they are reliable and dependable. And made by good companies. You can then spend more on the exhaust manifolds to get better ones made.

 

You can never be really sure how reliable or dependable a used turbo is going to be, the previous owner could have beaten the car hard and never taken proper care of the turbo... like driving it hard and shutting the engine off without letting the turbo cool/spool-down.
Although if you get the turbo used a rebuild kit is usuallyfairly inexpensive.

 

I 100% agree with the rebuild of a used turbo. That is the only way I have ever done it. A rebuild is pretty easy... if you know what you are doing..... and also easy if you get an exploded view of the turbo. I rebuilt mine for about $75-80 or so.... balancing was another $10-20......however .....most balance jobs I have heard people get is in the $80 range.

 

First off....for a 3.0 a single turbo is best generally...unless you want to spend alot of time with it. A t3/t4 hybrid is good...just make sure you get the right size. go with a .63 a/r and probably 50 trim...thats what im going with. A kit sounds good in theory but in reality its just not going to happen. Money is just the key factor....you can get away with only spending a little but you wont get great results....spend a bit and youll beat srt4s no prob. Could always stick to n/a and if you build it right can run really low 14s possibly high 13s on slicks.

 

Those Mitsubishi 3.0L's are oil leaking anchors, I wouldn't even consider trying to turbocharge one, you'd be better off dropping a 2.2L or 2.5L turbo in it.

There are several places with 2.2L performance parts such as fwdperformance.com and relentlessracing.com.

 

Funny you say that....a couple have been turboed with great results. Some of the engines do leak but its almost always an easy fix. You think your better off with a 2.2 or 2.5 but really the 3.0 has way greater potential if turboed right. Even a mild setup would be awesome. You can safely run 5 psi through em without forged internals...and if you regap the rings probably a bit more. Brent Seman was beating srt4s on 5psi...the only reason why his car failed is simply because he wasnt running a high flow fuel pump and ran too much boost and starved the fuel. He was running high 13s with it. The thing about swapping to a 4 cylinder is your are going to undergo the same work...at pretty much the same price or more.

 

the best turbo i have heard of useing in wich im tryin to find is is off of the conquest but i sign cause i would love to add a turbo to wat i already have
