this may be a stupid question but...
Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:03 pmwould i be able to achieve better top end using a camshaft for a 2.6 turbo lebaron in a non turbo 2.6? just wondering.
umm.....turbo lebaron?
the lebarons that i am aware of were all chrysler products and most of the front wheel driver era ones had the dodge 2.2/2.5. no 2.6 turbo in a k car....they could be had with a 2.2 turbo, and then the J body 2 door lebaron of the 90's that sometimes got the 2.5 turbo if it didn't have a mitsu 3.0 v6 in it!
maybe the mitsu lancer got a 2.6 turbo?.......chrysler had a lancer back in the 80's based on the k car.
my research into the chrysler 2.2/2.5 turbo leads me to believe that you don't want to put a turbo cam in an n/a engine as you will lose power. you can use an n/a cam in a turbo engine with some tuning. i know nothing about the cam profiles and power band characteristics on the mitsubishi engines though.
