Omni T2 Electrical Conversion

[Turbomaro]

I am wonderign who has converted an N/A omni to T2 status. I know the mechanical parts is basically a bolt in but what im wondering about is how to splice in or convert the whole car over to run the T2 motor. I have a 88 Daytona Shelby complete so I have all the parts. just wonderign the steps to swap it all over to the omni electrically.

then go to thedodgegarage.com ; go to 'turbo database' ; click on # 24 "How to convert a 85-87 Turbo I vehicle to Turbo II status "

Did you find yourself an omni? If so, congrats and what year? Is the 88 daytona a t2 car?

If you've got an 88/89 omni, and the daytona is T2, you should have everything you need for a smooth conversion. All the wiring should convert over at the bulkhead fairly easily (depending on your ability to read fsm wiring diagrams and to splice wires).

Since N/A stick omni's are sort of rare, I'm guessing that you got an auto. If that's the case and it's an 88/89, then that's good because the axles will work for your conversion, but you'll have to find an omni 5 spd driver's side motor mount - the daytona one won't bolt up to the omni's frame and the omni auto one won't bolt to the 555.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Good advice and links in the post above me. There's quite a few people on this board who have done the same/similar conversions, so you should be able to find plenty of help around here.
