Love that video beating the Scooby. Almost sounds like "what the hell?" in the background at 16 seconds. Like someone looked up from their PBR tall can and saw what was happening on the track..

I think you'll see 60psi or so on a cold start-up. 10psi minimum at hot idle, and 10psi more for every 1K RPM's. I run 10-40 in everything personally.
Because that puts it in limp mode and reverts to base timing without any ECU compensating. You want it at 12 degrees base timing and then the ECU adjusts from there.
Ditto on the factory gauge...
Think about it like a tire. PSI is the same measurement as in a tire but with a turbo it's in the intake manifold, and yes all of your vacuum lines so you have to make sure they are in tip-top shape...

Down the left side click on "turbo database" to learn the basics of these things. Yes, adding an intercooler will add some power. Really because it allows you to safely...
I could be totally wrong, but doesn't the Ford Fiesta use the same thing? From how I understood it, you basically have two standard manual transmissions sitting side by side and it shifts seamlessly...
I haven't looked a whole lot, but used they seem pretty reasonable. I see a 2012 on cl with under 50K miles for $10995 right now. Seen a few others under 15K that are low mileage also.
Edit, here...
My wife is the issue there, she'll never figure out how to drive a stick. I have my LeBaron and there's just no way I can justify another car she can't/won't drive. The 200 would make a nice upgrade...
Seems like a Chrysler 200 with the 3.6 would be the way to go over a Dart IMO. I haven't seen them side by side, but both look great in person and in pictures. The Dart just doesn't have any...
Totally different avenue but maybe a wheel bearing? You should be able to tell fairly easily if one of them is producing nuclear heat after driving it. That could be holding the car back as you...
As of this morning, he's on the forum!
Congrats! At least the car doesn't have to travel as far this time.
Congrats on the sale, was fun watching that auction and a couple of the others. The Honda Z600 was a neat little car, I could totally see myself driving around town in something tiny like that.
So...
Needing to replace one of our two DD's, this is incredibly tempting never thought it would still be available. I may be inquiring soon.
My power is STILL out, thankfully we have a wood insert and the gas hot water heater stayed lit. Lost a few shingles and a tree came down from across the street and landed behind my motor home....
Damn every OG owner that ordered convertible LeBarons, those coupes look so much better!
I'd back it down a hair, hitting overboost shutdown repeatedly is tough on the engine. Either that or time for an ECU upgrade.
He did say "worth" 25K, pretty sure he means market value. The Consulier in question recently sold for $23,000 real American dollars. What pre-1990 car are you going to challenge that with? I see a...
My aftermarket water pump sticks the pulley out a bit further than OEM. This caused me slipping issues. I was able to use a couple of washers to slide the alternator over a bit. If alignment is your...
The plot thickens!
5 speed LeBaron coupe just nosed ahead of the automatic Lancer.
Sell Lancer and use some proceeds for a cheap Maaco paint job to lose the two tone paint, win! Practicality...
Another vote for the Lancer, assuming the LeBaron is a convertible. If a coupe then it might be a coin toss for me.
Pics show up at home, work didn't like them apparently. Sad seeing the NY all torn apart it was such a nice car.
I never street race anymore, used to be a group of friends we would occasionally be out roll racing on the highway or stoplight stuff. It's just not worth risking the ticket $$$ and injury to do that...
Cool thread Jay, too bad (at least for me) none of the pictures show up. I remember that poor old blue Daytona, glad some of it got used eventually.
Finding one in good shape would be the most difficult part. I'd target a Caliber SRT4 personally. I don't think as many of those found themselves in the clutches of morons. iTurbo on here speaks very...
