Turbo for my shadow

[shadow_hunter23]

Is there a way to mod a turbo system for my non turbo 2.2l dodge shadow ('92). I want to see if its possible or not, and if so, what should i do and who to talk to.

hmm, good question, as though i dont know many answers. for the computer and map sensor, they are not calibrated to read boost and would not know what to do for fuel/spark/timing/etc. and for the motor--(im unsure of the compression ratio for an NA) chances are the CR is higher probably around 10:1 we'll say, that would limit you to running high boost, but say 6-10 lbs would be pretty sweet too, look at the mustangs and camaros with the turbos. and i think the valves in your cylinder head were not meant for that kind of pressure and heat.

your fuel system might not hold up, but your car is a TBI fuel injectected car, so i think it may hold up.

you would need to do some heavy research on this subject, i dont have all the answers for you. there are people who have done it on here (they will probably reply) and they can help you.

i would say give it a try (if its not your daily driver, just a toy) and start adding parts, turbos/computers/fuel pumps/sensors, can be found on this sight pretty easily. but like i said, your motor itself will be limiting you. remember, you can put a supercharger or a turbocharger on anything, you just need the fuel to back it up. and with these cars, the fuel comes from the electronics (and pump and injectors, i know)

but best advice---do more research, use the search button on the forum.

But a parts car lol.

If you can't find a parts car in a salvage or a local listing send me a PM I was almost done doing this to a '94 Shadow I had back in the days. You'll want a 90 or 91 Shadow(2.5TI)to make the swap easier.
