Thought you guys might want to know where it all began. This car, my car, started it all. The turbo craze comes from the conquest/starion. Dont you forget it

I like what you did with the windshield wiper, so that they match the racing stripes...
CLEVER!
more pics
Wow, you started it all.... nice to meet you. I wonder who is going to start the REPing for you today.
other than the white wiper blades the car looks really good
Nice car though, would look better w/o those stripes and wipers IMO. What's done to it?
This is my 1987 chrysler conquest. 0-60 in 5.5 secs, quarter mile time of 13.5. All with a kickin sound system. It has a 2.6l L4 engine with a T3/T4 hybrid turbo pushing about 25lbs.

In no way, shape or form is this thing in anyway related to a Neon....
That was sig worthy
Szester - errr, I'd loose the ego trip. You'll get raped here
Honestly, the stripes and wipers need to go. They just sort of don't flow well with the car like they do on say an old Camaro or a Viper.

Never mind i figured it out. You just made a typo.Originally Posted by szester
all that for a 13.5??Originally Posted by szester
dont get me wrong man...i respect the fact that you've put a lot of work into your car...but bro..if i did all that work and put all that money into my car, id really want somethin a lot better than a 13.5

Well, not too sure about this particular car but some cars just don't do well in the 1/4 despite the amount of mods/$ in them. Mine, for example, I'll be lucky to get a 13 in the 1/4 but will make a corvette my bitch on the hwy... and my list is a bit longer than his.Originally Posted by amped4life33

eh - you need to do your research about the car first. its a 2.6L SOHC I4 with a two injector throttle body setup. It's why a lot of us are going towards MPI more and more.Originally Posted by amped4life33
Let me put it like this. Stock car has about 190whp. Give or take. A guy in Cumming, GA put MPI on the car, and a S16G turbo @ 18psi. Car dynoed 364whp before the stock original clutch vaporized. One of the most awesome sounds I have ever heard.
Not calling you out, but before anyone else also gets arrogant they need to at least know some facts about these cars![]()

lol some of you guys shouldn't jump on the bandwagon when ya dont know much about these cars.
Actualy 13.5 is pretty decent for a Starion, with weighing a ton and a half and only having 2 injectors and a small 52mm throttle bod AND a very inefficent stock manifold... it can be hard to turn numbers out of what mitsubishi gave us. And don't even get me started about the stock intercooler routing! Damn, that was such an after thought.Originally Posted by dorin48
I also have the Alternator mod, which requires you to engineer your own bracket since it won't bolt up to the stock bracket and also source your own Alternator. This is done because the stock alternators run outta juice and can be very pricey to repair/replace. Also i'm sure hes talking about something like the 8.55 mm Taylor or MSD plug wires where you have to buy a universal kit and kit and crimp them for your application.Originally Posted by OMG JDM
Just like i've done.
Keep the questions comin' guys![]()
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
Doesn't a nine year old Mustang do that too?Originally Posted by szester

Wow, that'll be nice for as long as it runs. I do believe the GNX Grand nationals were turbocharged too, as well as some older Porsches, oh and in the early 80s, the Mazda Rx-7 12A were sold in Japan with turbochargers. this is the part where you stop acting all high and mighty.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
but what car started the craze? wasnt the shitty porsches, thats for sure. really though, im just kiddin around with the whole high and mighty thing. just effin aroundOriginally Posted by 87 Turbo II
