#32418, "Turbo from a 2.2 - possible??"


          

Like many other guys on this board, I am saving to go turbo and of course that is all I am ever thinking about. Anyway, I am flipping through my local paper tonight and I see this guy advertising a Chrysler Lebaron 2.2 turbo for $200 (no clutch). So I start thinking about the 2.2 and I am wondering if anyone knows if the turbo system off an '87 2.2 is adaptable to our 2.0. So ... am I asking the dumbest question ever, or would something like this be possible? If so, would I need anything else to make it work that you can think of. If so, I'll buy the whole car, and then junk it.

I'm sure you could use the turbo itself, but as far as the exhaust manifold, no it won't work. The 420A is a new design. It didn't turn up until like late 94 or somewhere around there. Sorry man, but it was worth a try.

You'd probably have to rebuild the turbo anyway ($100-150 if you do it yourself). So, I doubt it would be worth it at all.

No, that would be a waste of time and money.
