So, apparently one turbo Dodge wasn't enough. This is the '89 Colt GT I picked up today. It came from the factory with a 4G61t motor. This one has been 4G63 swapped though. It needs a few maintenance items, but is otherwise sound. It already has a Walbro pump, MBC, intake, Fidanza flywheel and clutch, and a 3" exhaust. After I get the maintenance items addressed, it'll be getting a 16G, injectors and a front mount to replace the side mount.

 

Awesome!



Do you intend to tune it? Is it socketed?

 

Awww man, I love me some Colt action. 4G61T.org gets me excited in the pants every time I browse.



Actually, check out Jafromobile on youtube. He's installing 4WD running gear into his Colt, and doing it properly. Lotsa great DSM info and tips to be had.



What sort of maintenance stuff do you need to do?

 

Bad ass! My neighbor used to have one of those. He didnt do much to the engine, but spent alot of time on the body and interior making it mint. It had a ton of rust and cancer on the bottom of the doors.

 

This is badass!

 

Is it bad that I'm 50 times more excited about the old Colt than the new SRT-4? Lol!

 

The SRT-4's only getting a few bolt-on's as it's intended to be reliable transport. This, however...



The Colt is gonna be my stealth street sweeper. Ultimate goal is 4-500 whp with drag radials up front. Stuff it needs... upper strut mounts, rear trailing arm bushings, reseal the oil pan, exhaust leak at the turbo (super 16G will fix that), timing covers. As for tuning, I'm looking into AEM. Might go FIC since I can get the Tru-Boost gauge/controller and tie them together.

 

Those actually sound like kind of fun/interesting fixes. Plus they will give you a chance to open up some major components and inspect the condition further.

 

Dude... the ecu is a wide open book...

Timing, fuel, boost, everything....

No need for a FIC...

 

I think most people should be. That Caliber is hideous
