4bt swap...maybe?
 
I got this turd car that I drive during the week for a gas saver. Its a 1993 Dodge Stealth. Nothing special...no twin turbos. No AWD...just a 5sp slowmobile.

If all goes well...I wont need a gas saver anymore bc I'll have a take home car.


So I'm left with a choice...either sell this car and get a turbo for my truck.

Or.

Swap a 4bt into it. I got the tools and know how to do it (with some help from some friends)

Would it be worth the hassel?

Here is the car... rattle can primer grey and all ha ha

Not a bad little ride, I remember thinking those were soooo awesome when they came out!

I personally would sell the car and put the money into the truck. Swap would work, some money, and in the end you would have a stealth 4bt that you probably wouldn't get what you have invested in it.

Now a 4bt into a Jeep wrangler, or a compact truck- Nissan hardbody, ranger, s10 etc. Would be cool!

Right now my d21 Nissan sounds like it has a 4bt in it cause the lifters tick so much!

I was kinda thinking the same thing but wanted dome opinions. Yea it would be cool and one of a kind...but worth it? That was the question. lol

Yes...a 4bt in a wrangler would be sweet. I'd like to do that someday.

Sell it and get MOAR turbo! Better yet, get moar turbo for you, then get moar turbo for me!

Ha I don't think I'll get that much out of it to buy turbos all around. lol I only paid $1000 for it... I bet i can get $1600 for it with all the work I've done to it to make it more road worthy

$1600 would make a nice start for cummins build parts!!!! Thats what I would do.
