I need a strong block!

I need to know what kind of block I would need to put a nitrous pro-shot on a 2.2 with a mitsu turbo. Would I also need a certain type of cylinder heads? If so, what kind?Would I need anything else that isnt stock?

First thing to do would be to get rid of the mitsu turbo. That thing is super tiny and is a huge restriction, even on a stock engine. You start putting nitrous in there and it is not going to want to flow through the turbine on that little thing.

I agree. By far the best thing you can do is replace that turbo. After that, replace the rods, any 2.2 with a mitsu turbo has the lightweight rods that can "give out without warning" over 150hp. You might consider finding a 2.5 T1 in the junkyard, that'll get you the stronger common block, and the stronger pistons. While your there, find a turbocharger off an '87 or earlier turbo dodge. What year is your car?

why bother with a turbo? put on a header toss the turbo. car still makes power without the turbo you know. with a 5 speed the car will run like an auto n/a. "meaning thats how the car feels to drive" balance internal parts put in good pistons hook up a progressive nos controller and hold on.

ok..i think it is funny has h3ll when your first post is about adding nitrous to your car...

you are better off going with a TII or whynot jump up to a S60... mod the motor right... dont just toss nitrous in it and expect it to be fast has chit..

have you even got a 3" or 2.5" exhaust
looked into a nice G-head??
granger vaulve??

we could go on like this for a while... i say dump the **** nitrous untill you mod the engine some...

then put the nitrous to it

You don't want a G head on a 2.2, 2.5 yes.

i was just trying to let him know there are so many options out there with our cars instead of shuving nitrous in it and hoping for the best.

I've thought about this before. Most racing classes will give you a weight break if you only use one power adder. Get a common block 2.2 from a turbo2, a cam and a direct port nitrous system along with the tbi top end and I bet someone could go clean up at an import event. With that setup you could still max out the potential of the block and it would be much cheaper than a turbo race car. I might try this in the future if the weight break helped enough. Just a thought though.
