HMMMMMMM turbo shadow to turbo celica conversion?

**DontTouchMeThur** · 03-24-2005, 10:54 AM

So I was at he junk yard and found a turbo dodge shadow, the turbo spins freely and seems to be in great shape the odometer on the car read 80,000mi. Im good friends with the owners of the junk yard and Alton the owner told me that I could have the turbo and manifold for $40.00. I was basically wondring if it sounds insane to make an adapter for the shadows manifold to fit on my 93 st? I don't think id need to run a intercooler because the turbo is so dinky, and i doubt i would have to get bigger injectors if i tweeked the fuel curve alittle. Do you guys think I should try it? If so should I adapt the st manifold to fit the turbo or adapt the shadow turbo to the st exhaust port? Or am Nuckin Futs?

DO IT!

I'm sure it can be done no problem...just wondering how much extra power this is really going to give you and if it's worth the cost (I don't mean the cost of the turbo itself seeing as how you could get it for $40)

any adverse effects on the stock st motor?>

**Burrcold** · 03-24-2005, 01:27 PM

probably doesnt produce enough power to have a significant impact on the motor. Although if you have high mileage then just be weary of any type of increase in airflow.

**MartinGouda** · 03-24-2005, 01:29 PM

just do it!

What it the engine sie on the shadow? About the same, 1.6L? You don't wanna put too big a turbo there. Also don't go pass 12 PSI on stock block.

**rx7 punk** · 03-25-2005, 05:21 PM

The shadow is a 2.0 and the engine has 134,000mi on it, also what kind of boost controller would you all reconmend? And would he have to upgrade the injectors or anything ?

then on the other end of the spectrum where the guy joins Nov 3 (and knows everything by the way), and by Nov 4 of the same year he's got 42 posts.
