For Sale Turbo K wagon

In IMSA Supercar races, Consulier GTPs beat the Porsche 911 Turbo, Pontiac Firehawk, Saleen Mustang, Corvette ZR1, Lotus Espirt, Calloway Corvette, and Dodge Stealth. Mosler offered a $100,000 bounty to anyone who could race a street-legal production car around any United States racetrack faster than Mosler’s racing driver could send a Consulier GTP through; no one was able to get that cash, though some said the conditions were not 100% fair. The Consulier GTP was eventually banned by the IMSA in 1991 —as the Mosler Automotive web site says:

After dominating local SCCA races and winning the 24 hours of Nelson Ledges in 1990, Mosler Automotive entered the IMSA Supercar World with 4 silver Consulier Series II GTP's debuting at Lime Rock in 1991 with pole position and a victory. At just 2100 lbs, this 5 speed, 2.2 liter turbo with about 195 hp easily outpaced the other, more powerful but heavier cars, including Hurley Haywood in a factory Porsche Turbo, Boris Said in a Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette, Stu Haynor in a Firebird, and Jim Minnaker in a factory ZR1 Corvette. It was subsequently announced by IMSA that it was not in the best interests of the series for Consulier to win at which time they added a 300 lb weight penalty and finally banned the Consulier GTP from the series. The GTP remains an exceptional sports car and can still outpace most of today's production cars.

Hot rodding one of these 2.2s to the fragile max, how much can you squeeze out of it?

BTW, this one resides near me.

 

[Turboomni]

This was with a basically stock under 200 hp 2.2 non cross flow head turbo 4 cylinder.

 

[Turboomni]

engine is the same but 2.5 and head but souped up to the max. This no auto trans but a getrag 5 speed I also run.

Turbo 2 8 valve engine as in the K car wagon but mid engine.

 

[Turboomni]

I have seen all the 16 valve and they do make more power as they flow better. I only know the 8 valves. People have put 16 valve heads on 8 valve blocks too in the past. The 9 second omni I posted was an 8 valve. He had to run 38 psi of boost!!

Same person's you know Stan I got of Google.

 

[Turboomni]

I always wanted a Mosler, they were pretty cheap in the late 90's but now they are expensive. To me it was the perfect place for the Chrysler 2.2 turbo in that era.

I used to have a 89 turbo mini van. I put in a bigger turbo and got a big Volvo intercooler at the junkyard that I mounted up front and pumped up the boost.
That was my daily driver for a time.

I picked up an 87 na 5 speed van for 50, put a battery and fuel in it and drove it 30 miles home.
Also had a 93 duster 3.0 na, fun car!
And a rolled 87 shelby turbo z ,sunroof, that I transplanted into a plain jane 85 laser. Had alot of fun with that one
An 83.5 shelby charger, sunroof, in my field (my oldest sons) Were eyeballing an srt4 swap.
Always wanted a turbo manual van, and this wagon looks fun too. These 80s sh!# boxes are good cheap fun

I remember the duster with the Mitsubishi V6 ,never drove one though. I looked everywhere at the time to find the elusive 5 speed turbo caravan. Rather rare.
