    Check this out guys,1986 Town & Country turbo!???

    First I would like to thank everyone for having some faith in me rather than writing me off as just another "dreamer" I had posted a discussion about six months ago debating the merits of converting my 95 Dakota 2.5 into a turbo truck, having just picked up a low mileage 2.5 complete with intake, injectors, and turbo/exhaust manifold. I decided against going with the Dakota turbo, and set out to find a decent woody wagon that needed some work. Today I picked one up. It's a 2.2 turbo with immaculate interior, however will need serious attention underneath due to rust issues. While I'm dealing with that, I'm going to find a donor 89 LeBaron convertible or similar with a manual transmission that way I can run the SMEC and all associated electronics. This is going to be a project, and I expect to have it in my garage for at least one year. Overall I'm very pleased with everything, and I look forward to participating in regular discussions on here. Thank you again guys

    Oh and I will be using the 2.5 Mitsubishi turbo, and one piece intake, the primary reason for finding an 89 donor car. This will work out great since I will be basically stripping the car down to nothing, so it will be like starting from scratch.

    Glad to see that you're still going strong. I believe Joe Manduno was selling his K wagon recently. IIRC he was willing to part it out and the prices were reasonable. You should check out the thread in the for sale section and see what's left.

    the easy way to convert that to smec is to find an 88 turbo K car engine compartment harness
    the 88 K cars didn't get the big round gromit in the firewall but rather still have the old 50 way connector there so you could simply plug it right into your car without mods

    88 K turbo K Car turbo harness/donor next on the list, check got it thanks. And I plan to make it a daily driver once finished, nothing like a grocery getter that actually fits the stereotypical picture of a grocery getter! 😂 It doesn't have to be a tire burning monster, but I want it to be better quick. Plus I just like the sounds of a turbo spooling up!!! I miss my 300zx so something has to fill that void
