Okay, makes sense now.

Did you guys know that back in the mid 80 (about 87) Chrysler was experimenting with turbo charging the new at the time 3.0 V6? If only a guy could get his hands on that setup....



When I was playing with 3.0/3.3/3.8 cars a couple years ago there was a guy with a turbo 3.0 Dynasty on the Web.

It's not perfect.
It's not correct.
It's not yours!

The Diamond Star cars were the Dodge Stealth, Mitsubishi 3000, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser.

That's it. Not sure if the Laser ever had a turbo option, but the rest did.




The Laser did come with a turbo. In fact, I THINK the laser came with turbo before the Talon did. I worked with a guy with an early 90's Laser, and I had a '95 Talon- turbo, of course. It put out either 210 or 220 HP (advertised).

Do not confuse the Chrysler Lazer (Daytona clone) with the Plymouth Laser (Eclipes/Talon clone). The Chrysler had a turbo 2.2 and was not a Diamond Star car. The Plymouth was a 2.0L engine and was a Diamond Star car. Pretty sure the Lazer you are remembering is the Chrysler.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I'm thinking of the Plymouth Laser, which looked looked kind of like an eagle talon. The "lazer" had no resemblance whatsoever to the Talon, Laser, or Eclipse.
