Parts Car (help quick)
 
Hey guys, heres the thing.

1985 Turbocharged Lebaron, it been given to me as a parts car, i looked under the hood and it has a external waste gate, selanoid and what looks like a intercooler mounted in front of the radiator. Am i correct to assume that this is a turbo, and not a supercharger because of these parts? Can i pilage these parts out of the car and some how use it in the quest to turbo my 1gen pro?

also, is there anything else in it that i could use, like the alternator (maybe its stronger)

thanks in advance.

just incase pics will help.

not trying to sound rude or anything...but you can assume its a turbo and not supercharged because it says turbo on it lol....make it a sleeper...get it rebuilt...and make it a badass engine to mess with people

ok sitting up doing research, ill need help from you turbo guys now. Assuming i yank the turbo (its a Turbo I Garrett t3) and the intercooler, what kind of work would i be looking at to fit this on my pro? Says it runs at 7-10psi, im sure ill need to buy a new manifold from blt but besides that what else goes into this?

R u joking on this post or something?

kagekun November-1st-2002 06:19 PM

no im very serious. whats funny about my question? the engine comes from the factory with a t3 on it, can i rip it off and use it on my pro (sounds serious enough to me) :)
but ok it doesnt matter anymore i suppose, i cant get the turbo off the frikin engine without a cherry picker and i dont have one on me, but, i was being very serious.

itzkcatz November-1st-2002 06:42 PM

Well u can see the huge turbo mark engraved on the motor, So why would u think its a supercharged car ?

kagekun November-1st-2002 08:50 PM

i was just making sure, but i thought it might have been super charged because

1. the car has no boost gauges
2. its auto tranny

sorry sheesh, i know computers not cars, see when it says pro newbie it really means it. I just started reading into cars 4 months or so ago im not that literate yet.

in the computer market just because something says its something doesnt really mean it is, car example, a mustang gtr i once saw.

you can get an automatic turbo car...and most turbo cars dont come stock with boost gauges...oh and a mustang gtr = no such thing...people buy stupid badges...damn fools...dont worry bout the question...it just looked kinda weird cause of the big TURBO written on the valve cover...

Ah i c . do u have a pic of the intercooler if it has one. Superchargers run off a belt not exhuast gas to spool itself. What kind of pro do u own?...Jon 93 lx

Whats your mission? Use the turbo from the 2.2 on your pro?
Or get the 2.2 Boostin nicely?

Go sign up on the team omni page on the internet, they will answer all your questions. My dad is a member and has a 13.0 sec turbo omni that woops the hell out of honda's.

itzkcatz November-3rd-2002 06:55 PM

Damn after seeing that i want a 85 k car. seems they have alot of those in the 11-12 sec range which is crazy must be a good turbo motor ..Jon 93 lx

FunkRider November-4th-2002 03:52 PM

They are very good motors, they just sound like ass.

kagekun November-4th-2002 04:21 PM

well i wanted to turbo my pro. But that turbo is like on the back side of the engine, so i cant really get it out :(

FunkRider November-4th-2002 04:23 PM

It probly needs a rebuild anyway. The turbo that is.
