Factory Turbo 3.0?

[Chief8one]

thought my ears were burning, i have moved onto turning, instead of going straight. i lead the GS group in columbus at the local autocross in my 3.0l 5 speed duster, way more fun. although for the first time ever i rebuilt a 543 myself, ready to install whenever i get some down time and a lending hand. i would like to see what it runs.

my lil autocross car stock ran a 15.5 with my autocross slicks i lmao, oh and i went into the 4th round of bracket racing untill we got rained out. not bad with not going to the 1/4 my first time in 5 years.

come to the nationals in columbus ill be there

I would, but $80 to enter a car show is a complete rip-off.

I've been to the Mopar Nationals in Columbus a few times. Not in the last 2-3 years, though. Didn't have a car in there, I just walked in to see everything. Never cost me a penny. I'd either walk in through the woods at the edge of the show, or slide through a gate when the attendants were busy with other people.

Never had a problem!

Robert Hassler bought 2 engines. A third went to a guy in Kentuckey and was last known to be intalled in a Daytona(running unknown) IIRC(maybe that was one of the ones Robert ended up with). I've heard rumors of one in NY and another in NC. Supposedly 6 engines were built all together.

For some reason I could SWEAR that 4 of these engines were positively located....

ahh ok i didnt know it looked like a stock turbo kit nothing fancie or anything, i went and looked at it about 3 mounths ago very nice. i asked to test drive it lol didnt work they dont let 19 year old kids drive cars but i got to sit in it

[Ondonti]

actually the prototype 3.0 is fancy. it has it own custom intake manifold.

[turbomini]

ohh ok i dont know anything about the 3.0 proto type cars. thanks for clearing that up for me

[Dusty_Duster]

The picture I saw of the prototype 3.0 turbo had it installed in a black Duster just like mine. (Dusty's twin!)

[Chief8one]

honestly unless you know what you are looking for you wont know its not factory. its not fancy.

[Chief8one]

got mine out for the first time in 2 months, forgot what REAL torque felt like.

I was just trying to express that its nothing like the stock intake manifold and not comparable to some of the "fake" turbo 3.0's out there.
