i have a 92 dodge stealth ES DOHC automatic all stock except k&n filter and i was thinking of buying a sigle 16G turbo and putting it in place of the muffler. i was wondering if i would keep the boost at about 4 to 5 psi if the engine would handle it (60,000 miles)
ive had to replace the engine twice already so i know its not easy or cheap. And would the transmission handle the extra stress. i do not want to put a 5 speed in because it sounds like a lot of work even though i would like it a lot more
or if anyone has figured out how to fit a superchareger in there i am willing to look into that also any help would be appreciated

I've heard a few stories and only of one person fitting an evo16g on so its possible but you have to know what you're doing to piece the kit together.
Get a transmission cooler if you do indeed go that route though.
www.3si.org has much more information on these custom jobs check them out

The FAQ's got all the info u need about supercharging your stealth, it's the very last post in there... how many miles are on your car btw??? and also, according to one of the 3/s'ers on this board, the auto to 5spd swap wasn't very difficult, that's in teh FAQ 2...
EDIT: sorry I misread the thread, PM Hotshot, he turbo'd his N/A

my car has 180xxx on the odometer but when we had the engine out the torque converters paint looked very new so we were hoping it was rebuilt but i dont know it shifts pretty good but with 10:1 compression ratio i have my doubts about my engine handling it but if it did work how much horsepower would i have approximatley? im hoping for 270

i saw i could get a 16G turbo off ebay for around 500 and i think i could make the piping but i think ill need an in line oil pump for the oil to make it back to the engine if i put it in the rear cant find one though i figure if with the turbo wastegate blowoff valve piping fuel injectors and fuel controler and exhaust i could do this for around 1500 or so does this sound right or does this sound like a good idea
