Hey guys I am new to the site and have a few turbo mopars.
My first car is my daily driver and its a 91 Plymouth laser RS turbo
My second car that I just bought is a 91 Shadow ES turbo
and my third car which is my baby is a 1998 Dodge Neon sport with a fully build motor with a turbo setup.

My laser and shadow are stock but the shadow will not be for long. The neon has a fully build bottom end top end and is going to be running a megasquirt before to long. The car with a 16g went 12.22 at 108mph with 12lbs of boost. Hopefully in 07 The car will run consistant mid 11's.

Here are some pics of the neon. The engine is painted old school hemi orange

Nice car. There is someone around here that boosted his neon and has it running on megasquirt too. If he can ever get it to hook up he will be in the low 12s. I think he runs low 13s @119mph now.

Banner is gone but the hood is going to stay, that is the only way people really know its me, I live in belvidere where the neon was built so there is a ton of these cars around here. Also its kinda nice going to the strip and everyone knowing that I am the person with the neon with the black hood. Its my stamp in the local racing scene:number1:

scott, honestly, Mark should be in the 11's. he has the power to run solid 11's on slicks.

NeonGTS, Nice neon! I want to confiscate my wifes 98 dohc auto to make a street beast with, but I have to get her something else first. :)

Nice car!!! After driving my wife's SRT4 some, and with the way it and my step son's Neon looks, I've decided, if I build another car it will be a Turbo Neon. I like em!

LOL well the car wont be there, kinda tore apart in the garage. Car is getting a mega squirt and a custom intake made for it so the car doesnt run.

do you have a website I can go to so check out some more information. I have the Neon and the shadow being worked on so it may take a while for me to get to a meet.

Thanks

Another old school Neon getting boosted, love it. I can't wait to see how the Neon I put an SRT motor in does, its just getting wired right now for a standalone then they will dyno it, :D

^^ That 1g neon with the srt motor should be good for low 13's or high 12's depending on tune. Good luck with that.


and for the rest of Turbo-Mopar

Teaser pics of a car I am hoping to pic up this sunday. IT will be a all out race car so look for a mid to low 11 second neon under 20psi of boost:thumb: planning on transfering parts from the car pictured to this beast and making the neon a little bit of a better street car.

oh forget to metion I am going to make it a "donk" looking at putting 22" rims on it and a banging stero:D I am going to make all of the jacked up Monte's and Regals look like dog --- when this beast gets done:lol:

Just kidding. The real reason why is the car has not motor and all of the interior on the car in the rear has been removed and unwated weight has been cut out so it sits high. I will correct that issue when I get the car.

Why are the side bars so high? Good luck getting it approved for ANY kind of track, SCCA included. Thing looks impossible to get into.

LOL man everyone and their mother is like that cage is not legal, you wont pass tech but the cage is perfect for my height. I have been getting crap on honda-tech since i posted this thing and to be honest with it I dont care, car will have a stamp so everyone can see that it is legal.

My buddy that weighs 285 and close to 6ft can get in and out of it just fine.

not trying to be an --- but take a look at Len Ayala's neon his bar is about the same as well.

As long as the side bars pass between the shoulder and elbow of the driver, thery are good to go :thumb:
