    Find any 88+ turbo car, 89 + had a better block but same heads, then swap over the whole engine, use your existing accessories, trans and axles, put a new fuel pump in, IC it and the only thing I am gray on is what wiring harness to use, someone else can chime in on that.

    Also, go here, www.thedodgegarage.com and read it, read it many times, turbo database section.

    Re: looking for a turbo engine for my 89 dodge omni

    so a turbo engine from a 89 dodge Daytona would work in my 89 dodge omni.
    thanks for the help.
    Also my car is lacking on power feels like there is hardly any gas going to the engine.
    i already changed the fuel pump and still does the same thing. any suggestions ?

    Correct and if its a TBI engine, then it has a lower fuel pressure. Have you actually measured it?

    I was going to say, "Wow, that's a really nice survivor." Then I saw the, uh... paint job?? Maybe the pics made the original paint look better than it was.

    You have 6x9's IN the hatch with a cover over the hatch? Does that work OK?

    And finally, yes, ANY 2.2 or 2.5 will drop right in. Turbo conversion is real easy with right parts. Intercooling can get tight in an omni.

    Search for a thread "Show me your FMIC" or something similar.

    LOTS of great info in the Suspension section. There are many options from Neon struts to high dollar Koni parts.
