Before I get the haters in here asking me why, I want to put a few things out here so I can clear things up.
1. The car is paid off and I have 2.5 times more than I paid into the car just in preventive maintenance.
2. I am not super duper concerned about blowing anything up because I don't have a lot into the car overall.
Now that those things are out of the way, here's some background on the car:
The car is a 93 Dodge Stealth Base SOHC. Most of the people that attended NG, saw it run the autocross and the drags. The Drags were pathetic, but hey, it was fun. The autocross was quite fun and I thought the car held it's own despite being low on power.
Here's the issues I am facing now:
The car is eating injectors, on the way home from NG, about 10 miles south of Toledo, 2 injectors decided it was time to let go. So I am getting fed up with trying to track down SOHC injectors (yes they are different) I am converting my plenum to a DOHC plenum as well as the lower intake manifold to a DOHC lower intake manifold. I was doing some searching and found that the 3.5L Diamante intake plenum is driver's side throttle, so that makes my piping much easier to run for the turbo. I also have a set of NA injectors made for the DOHC which I am going to hopefully install when I get the manifolds switched out.
The turbo I am eyeing is a Garrett 55 trim. It is vband and externally gated. I am looking for a fabricator to make the exhaust manifolds, but I may have a source.
I need to look at injectors, resistors, fuel pump, and flashable 99 ECU and convert it to OBD1.
I will keep you guys updated!
Edit: I found my manifold that will work... The avenger 2.5L V6 SOHC intake plenum looks the same as the NA plenum except throttle body mounts on the driver's side. I was going to go with the Spirit/Shadow/Caravan manifold, but then I would need to replace the lower intake manifold with a Spirit/Shadow/Caravan manifold because of the runners.
