Project Colt
This little abomination has been my winter beater for three years running. Now I think it's time to ask for a bit more. This car is mechanically identical to a 90 DSM, with everything being smaller, ie engine, turbo, injectors. Here's what I'm starting with:
Car: 89 Dodge Colt GT
Engine:
1.6l turbo 4G61T. Non intercooled, factory turbo is an 11B.
Performance Mods:
2.5" turbo back exhaust (factory exhaust rusted off, so no baseline there), and a K&N air filter. I dyno'd before and after the K&N and made something like 135whp/140wtrq on LSE's dyno. The K&N picked me up ~2whp.
Visual Mods:
wat?
Plans: Eventually I want this car to be running E85 and a small 16G. Should be more than enough to put a smile on my face with a 2500lb car.
This car has taken more abuse than I could describe. Including setting fire to the front bumper/plate and driving miles in foot deep snow with 800-1000 pounds of people, guns, ammo, steel targets, etc.
