Personally, I think there is a clause in the "Book of Dodge". Somewhere in the pages of "Book of Dodge" it states "Dodge will never use a Turbo or Supercharger". Its just before the clause " Dodge shall use the lamest advertising of all the big 3". Also in this "Book Of Dodge" is a clause "We shall produce weak transmissions, except for our legendary 727Auto".

I'll bet this "6.2" is NOT even a Dodge motor, its probably from a sister company. (watch it'll be the FORD 6.2 engine

)

I guess you forgot about the turbo Dodge's in the 80's?

I think the turbochargers themselves were but Chrysler doesn't need to manufacture the actual turbo. In the 80's they were the largest turbo car company in the world and to this day it might still hold true because of the amount they sold. Not sure though, you'd have to look, but for many years they were and that was all done in-house.

Even GM used Mitsu turbo's on the Syclone and Typhoon, the Hyundai Genesis uses them etc. Its one thing Mitsubishi does right...

I believe all teh 2.2s used Garrett Turbos while the 2.5 used smaller mitsubisi turbos because they were ment mostly for torque. I'm almost 100% certain all the High performance cars were Garrett turbos. Also, the 2.2 and 2.5L were Chrysler designed/built engines. They did do some work with Mitsu on the colt and Conquests but the majority of thier turbo cars were 2.2/2.5 powered. I had an 87 GLHS myself and spanked many a Mustang and Camaro with it. Chrysler knows turbos....

LOL - I had an '86 - what a fun car! Can you say, "Torque Steer"..?

Can't speak to who they sourced the turbos themselves from, but the 2.2 was most definitely of Chrysler design / manufacture.

...but I guess if Chrysler never designed and manufactured a boosted car, this must all be a dream...

My buddy had had a 87 Daytona Shelby Z. Thing was a BEAST, and torque steer that could break your wrists. Unfortunately it could pass everything but a repair shop...

Some people are hating on the Dart before it premiers in showrooms. It was never meant to be like the 70s car. The name is iconic, and in my opinion is really going to give Dodge a strong foothold against cars like the Cruze/Focus/Elantra/Civic/etc, etc, etc. I cannot count how many times people have gone down the road to Hyundai because all we had in the way of affordable sedans was the Avenger and 200. IMO, Mr. Marchionne has us back on the right track. just my $.02.

**911shizbo** · 06-23-2012, 02:15 AM

Yeah forsure, they dont. But I was just wondering if I had remembered right or not. I didnt know the syclones and typhoons had mitsu turbos tho.....is there a chance the grand nationals did aswell?

A lot of Mopar guys spit on Fiat but without Fiat, I'm sure Chrysler's future would be very bleak. First comes the 2nd gen Chargers, the new Durango, the Viper and now the Dart. SRT is now a brand! Fiat didn't take over and say don't do this and don't do that, they gave Chrysler the backing to catch up with the other car manufacturers. Besides, how would Chrysler ever meet the CAFE requirements when the best selling cars are 5.7 liters or more lol.

And Fiat has some pretty advanced inhouse knowledge, look at the new Viper and atleast I can see traces from Alfa Romeo, Ferarri and Maserati, and thats just on the surface.
The suspension upgrade is also curtesy of Fiat, they have made the new generation cars things that we can all be proud of!

I still own a 92 Dodge Daytona Shelby car, turbo charged and quite fun to go surprise the previous generation Camaros & Mustangs with. I'd like to think that in the 80's & early 90's that Dodge and Mr. Shelby had a pretty good grasp on boosted engines.

**gr8crash** · 06-23-2012, 08:15 PM

I remember on this site when the talk of Fiat taking over Chrysler got everyone upset. People were saying how Fiat will kill the hemi, and the LX's etc and give us nothing but small cars no one wants etc. I said it then and i say it now, they've done wonders for Mopar as a whole. Sergio came in and said no, we like your V8's and big cars we need that. Here are our small cars which you need. Its been a great mix of both. They have so much experience in small car tech that it will really help us over here. The Dart is a perfect example of what can be done with italian engeineering and american flare and design. It will be awsome to see what else they do over the next few years.
