yes, the 2.2 is the daytona, charger, old laser and omni. the 2.5 was in the lebaron, celebrity (nt) and a couple of other cars that i can't recall

umm the celebrity was definately a GM product there buddy...acclaim, spirit

i wasn't aware that the laser was a 2.2, wasn't it a 4g63? And trucks could be fast, just gotta treatem right, the 2.2 is a strong motor.

if i'm not mistaken. i'm not referring to the 89+ laser, but the OLD one that looks kind of like a daytona. they were all made by chrysler, the 2.2 and 2.5 were chrysler's i4 powerplants... so it stands to reason that the 2.2 would be the engine in the laser

Ok call me stupid but why drop a truck? Trucks are made for off road use and for moving in and out of houses.

The Chrysler turbo motors have some potential; I'm pretty sure the 14 sec. minivan uses one. I've always wanted to find an old turbo Sundance or something for a project.

yeah the 2.2's with the type III turbo setup ran 225 hp stock in the daytona's.

[PSiedTSi]

thats the 2.2dohc...it was actually 227hp i believe it also came in spirit r/ts besides the shelby iroc daytona

[Loki2678]

Your right now if I can find a place that has a motor like that for sale I'll be in good shape.

[PSiedTSi]

i knew some one that was selling a spirit r/t for like a grand...i just dont remember who it was

[GarageAlchemist]

i stand corrected on the laser, but that was before i was born, sorry. That would be a fun project. Why did they drop the displacement for the 4g63. or is that because it was then made by DSM?

[out there]

i've been looking, and i couldn't find any sort of code for the 2.2l in the daytona, laser, sundance, etc... i don't think any of us are in a position to wonder about the change of engines. my only thought is that someone decided a fwd sports car had to be made, so the g54b (2.6l turbo in the starquest) was dropped and the 4g63 came to be in a fwd platform

[PSiedTSi]

yeah the dsm was made to replace the starquest(starion/conquest for those that dont know) in SCCA i believe

[Loki2678]

My profile pic is the turbo3 setup 2.2l

[92TSIpos]

Are you going to run the stock turbo on there or upgrade?

[Loki2678]

Once I get enough money to get the motor I plan on building it up
