I’ve been authorized by Carol Shelby himself on behalf of Chrysler Corporation that their new Turbo II 2.2L I4 is now available as a crate engine, Consulier has already announced they’ll be putting it into their new GTP, will anyone else follow their lead?!
As was already hinted at
, if someone would want to use this engine for this challenge, probably after forged internals are added with compression lowered to run on correct fuel, changes I plan to show tomorrow in another edit of this post, they could let me know and I may send, so that is in fact quite on topic.
Some stats after the modifications
[With compression lowed to 7.5:1 and boast upped by 0.05 Bar to make up for most losses, it outputs 0.4 lb-ft more but 0.9 hp less at 0.8% less efficiency, 11 M.C. and 0.9 P.U. more but 0.4 E.T. less, but still only 46.3 reliability.
Turns out above 0.65 Bar of boast nukes your reliability, so a lowered boast but upped compression version will be planned on being share here along side the described version.]
Low boast version update log
No longer as concerned getting boast to kick in as early, I removed the point of quality and tech pool from the Turbo to make it the default tech pool, though I felt I could still do better so made a third version with the same level of quality as the tech pool and switched out PFI for TBI to make a cheaper, more reliable version.
