Those who dont know me, ill let you know i am Nissan at heart, but have been through my fair share of vehicles, 2 240's, a Rodeo, a Taurus, had a CRX at one time, a Sidekick, and as much as i back my nissans up, i decided i would change my pace and go with a mopar. I'm still learning quite a bit about all of this Turbo Dodge stuff, but so far what ive learned has impressed me quite a bit, if any of you know me well enough you know that i love torque, and these little dodges have plenty of it. well thought i would share what it is, but adding this for legal reasons, the vehicle is actually Jovan's but i will probably be the one driving it and working on it if it ever breaks. although so far thanks to Gabe(CSX153), for helping get this thing as far as it is already.
Vehicle is as follows, 84' dodge rampage, originally carb'd 2.2 now has a 2.5 common block Turbo motor from an 89' van, 555 trans, manual rack swap. SMEC electronics coversion, with 87' GLHS interior (dash, underdash wiring, seats, door panels), 87' GLHS front end, doors, and skirts. 5 lug conversion, i believe from a 87' glhs, with neon srt-4 wheels.
does still need work, but if all goes as planned it should be running, the end of this week.
here is what it looked like when it ran in cali before the paint and 5 lug conversion.
here is pictures when we first started tearing into it, the only thing you cant see is the rats nest of wiring under hood that we ripped out before i snapped pics.
after a little bit of work, also note that when we got it, the bed was full of TD parts that needed to be removed.
here are the most recent videos I have, It finally runs!
