Hey whats up im johnny from massillon ohio , this is my second quest (so far) when i bought this thing the motor was at about 35 psi on each cylinder and did a rebuild shes all good but had a crappy ebay tiny turbo on it, bearings went out but the seals are good, need a good good turbo 3304135338

... and I bought a turbo Dodge, lol. A 1987 Daytona "Shelby Z" to be exact. I've been driving past the car for a couple weeks on my way to/from work and assumed by the condition of the body (very, very good) that it was out of my price range. That being said, I was reluctant to look and not be able to afford it. Finally decided what the hell, and stopped yesterday morning for a look. It was parked kinda far off the road so I had no idea it was a Shelby car, just thought it was a base model turd. The owner said it ran great for a day when he picked it up and then developed a miss on the #3 cylinder, so he parked it. It's only been sitting a month or so. From asking around and some quick research, it likely needs a head-gasket. For what I paid though, I couldn't care less, I stole the damn thing. If it needed a motor, I'd be fine with that, lol. I'll have pics up tomorrow night most likely, picking it up after work. It's black with burgundy/prune leather. The interior is extremely clean and probably the coolest thing I've ever sat in. The drivers seat has more power accessories then I knew you could have, haha.

Getting down to the last few problems before this thing is about spotless. Only problem...I'm about out of cash to spend. My turbo is starting to go. Shaft has a bit of play side to side...not back to back though...and it's blowing oil like hell. This is my DD to college and gas to GET to college is bad enough. I don't have much to offer...maybe $100? Might be negotiable. I can rebuild my 12a but i would need an inducer wheel. Since I'm going to have to probably take the turbo off I thought i might would upgrade at least a LITTLE if possible. If anyone has a 14g or 16g that they're willing to pass up for not the greatest amount of money then that would be absolutely amazing. I'd rather go up from the 12a if possible. with the 16g being my most wanted, I might could do some kind of trade. Please help! Thank You, Charles C. Palka

I don't know if I asked that right, but what I mean is, referring to the picture, What turbos make a direct fit with the stock Exhaust turbo housing? what turbo/turbos make an easy swap? using the same housing, or with a direct bolt on housing? if there is any What size is the http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7356/grttbo100.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us
