Don't see a carb or a FI system, unless there is a Su style carb on the left side of the pic.

Don't think 450 HP is possible through a 2 inch carb.

That is just a generic kit, not application specific. i would like to see one of these long rod motors last more than 25 seconds with 25lbs boost! that is also a blow-through kit and i know of no one that will rework one of the b&b carbs to work with it. Where is the exhaust manifold?

Be sure to post pics (and a drag racing video) once you get it installed...

although with the relatiely low compression of the stock engine a moderate turbo charger application of 8 to 10 lbs of boost pressure could be a fairly effective performance enhancement. The Graham Paige used an engine powered centrifugal supercharger with a suck through carter to produce about 120 HP as opposed to a 95 HP non boosted engine. If I rmeber correctly the G-P used a 218 cubic inch engine with bore and stroke dimensions and initial CR very similar to the Mopar L 6. As a matter of fact G-P was kind of assimilated by chrysler Corporation and some of the engine enginerring may have been pirated from G-P .

So a small turbo from a automotive application pulling through a carb may be a doable modification, If you wanted to change to 12v you might be able to adapt a Chyrsler turbo system with throttlebody FI like from a GLH or plymouth Voyager (yes there was a turbo mini van) or similar from the 2 L to 2.5 L engine range.

However the shiney plumbing with intercoolers, and such does seem like a bit of overkill for a P15 or D 24.

My first mini van was a 2.5 turbo 5 speed...it would definitely surprise most folks..

[dezeldoc]

Their was a omni that used to run 11.20 and would really surprise a lot of people.

[Greenbomb]

That was the Omni GLH. According to a guy who sold them GLH stood for "Goes Like #e!!". Don't know if that was a factory term or not.

[Plymouthy Adams]

had the 86 Omni Turbo also..that was the year they correct the torque steer...and yeah..they fast..mine was all blacked out, rear louvers etc etc..only car I have ever owned that the cops actually turned around to follow me no matter where I went...sold it for that same reason..wish now that I had not..and by the way..factory support bolt on would allow you to get to 305 HP and still run the AC while getting groceries...

the GP set up. engine coolant was plumbed through the Blower housing, it was driven by a jack shaft with a bevel gear making the 90 degree from horizontal to vertical to spin the compressor. the continental L 6 in the Kaiser was also super charged with a paston blower. The carb mounted inside a cast housing the allowed it to operate in a pressurized chamber, there by mitgating the suck through or blow through problems,

[thrashingcows]

How about the paxton supercharger kits Mr. Norm put on the 340 demons....

Same kind of idea as the G-P set-up. You have the "Box" for the carb so everything is pressurized and easier to balance. I'd adapt one of these before going the exhaust powered turbo set-up.
