My Roots: Old School TurboDodge

[Opticon]

1985 Dodge Omni GLH Turbo

$1000 rot free SCCA Solo car:

Let's see what's wrong in here:

Temp wheels:

****pit:

Period correct wheels with Yoko S.Drive tires:

It's back up on jackstands at the moment. Getting a Turbonetics Super60, heavy trans with LSD, and a couple other bits to take it to the next level. It weighs 2000 lbs and I'm gunning for 300hp/300tq at the wheels.

I'm trying to have it ready for H20i in OC Maryland so I can roll down with some friends and hunt wabbits.

That's hideous, BUT AWESOME!

that wouldn't happen to be one of those shelby built 4cyl turbo's is it? if so you can easily hit that number

Nice. There is a turbo Shelby Charger sitting at a car lot near my house, I'm so tempted to make an offer. But my wife would kill me if I park another vehicle in the yard!

Yeah, it's the "Shelby" motor. My brother is making 350hp with the same motor and a 50trim hybrid turbo in a Shadow. I went with a smaller snail to spool quicker. Better for the street and a light car.

The Super 60 is absolutely maxed at 325 on a well ported and supported motor. I may struggle to hit that number. But it's still going to be fast, loud, and ugly.

My buddy has a chopped and sectioned minivan with that turbo shelby motor with a gt2876r that he just took out to put a SHO motor with a M62 in it.

I never saw that van running anything less than 30psi

I absolutely love it. This car has been on my wish list far too long. Gonna have to cop one real soon. I need a new project car. I love seeing the videos of the omni embarrassing vettes, evo's, sti's, etc.

Nice. I want an '86 GLHS. Of course, a regular GLH with a Turbo II swap or an upgraded Turbo I would be acceptable as well.
