I have the 3.0L engine automatic and I'm looking for a turbo (prefer twin turbo) kit for my Stratus. Anyone here able to point me in the right direction? Been looking everywhere but I'm just clueless on where to look and what to really look for. Also if it wouldn't be too much trouble what transmission would you guys recommend with a turbo?


I tried asking this guy but he says it's not his car and I don't know how to contact the owner of this Stratus.

 

It'll have to be custom. Which will make this an expensive, long, and tricky project. Tell us your budget and mechanical knowledge so we can give you a better idea.

 

Probably around the $10k range? Of course cheaper if possible. My knowledge is very limited, but my dad is an expert mechanic. He worked on helicopters and other vehicles during the Vietnam war and still work on cars till this day, so he is going to help me put it together if I can find all the right parts on my own and that's where my problem comes. On my free time I'm trying to learn what I can and research as much as I can with my limited knowledge. I've never built or worked on a car before and I'm hoping this is something I can do with my dad for the first time.

So far I know I need new headers, stall speed converter, transmission, exhaust system.

 

Put that $10k into a vehicle already turboed and you will be better off. Or invest it into a 3.8 swap.

 

The automatic can handle the power from what I've seen. While the 3.0 does take boost well, a lot of folks install the 3.8 Mivec from the 4G Eclipse as an even better base. The owner of the Stratus in the video posted is still somewhat active on the Facebook group for the Stratus Coupe.
There are a handful of 600+ hp Eclipse and Stratus builds out there, but if I recall they all use the 3.8. Someone recently posted the 3.0 turbo with about 430 hp.

There are no turbo kits, they will have to be custom fabricated. Consensus is you're better off with a single larger turbo rather than two smaller turbos.

 

I appreciate it a lot my dudes. I'm open to anything but trading in my car lol. I have a certain attachment to this car. I'm very open to engine swapping instead of turbo'ing and I will more than likely just go with a single larger turbo instead of twin. I will look into the 3.8L.

I've been reading up info at https://tearstone.com/ for builds and such.
