My brother in law has a 2.5 avenger that he is in the process of turboing. He is making his own setup for. I'm not sure what turbo he is using or any of that. I just briefly talked to him about it. My question is, If/when I turbo my 420a and he turbos his 2.5 Who is more likely to win (assuming same psi)?? He beat me when both of ours were N/a (granted i was running on old plugs that were misfiring) and i just dont want to go through that again. I want to be able to whoop his ***..lol Anyway, what do you guys think? I know he's got more displacement and more HP but is he always gonna be that way?? i guess what im hoping you'll say is "no with the same mods the eclipse will walk all over that thing."

 

both cars end up with blown motors.... I dont think he is going to make his own setup no offense to him I dont know him but I do know how much $$$ it takes and time because I have done it on the past to a 2.4L 3G and it was not easy.

Now if the cars are identical PSI and able to handle the power then the 2.5 gets the win IMO

 

nah none taken.. I know he can/will make his own setup. He has lots of experience with machanic and steel work. He was a welder for i dont know how many years until now he is starting his own body/mechanic shop. He already had the turbo last time i talked to him which was quite a while ago. Not sure what he's all gotten done. Even if he blows it up i dont think he really cares.. its kinda his toy car i guess. he got it for hardly anything at an auction with blown motor and tranny. changed both and now he's turboing it.



Why do you say blown motors?????????

 

Because those engine internals were not ment for boost.

 

well slow420a says that a 420a can withstand up to 10 psi on stock internals

 

ya if tuned properly.... most people cant tune a car. I would be willing to bet one of hte two cars will have a half assed tune and will blow up or cause alot of knock and detnation

 

well with advengers having a mitsu wireing harness and dodge componetes that they didn't match up well, i would say that the dodge will have more punch and more problems down the line with it, but they're suppost to put out more just n/a if it's a six, but 4 banger they're around the same as the n/t eclipse. if he hasn't replaced the fuel rail, i would tell him to watch it, many bad experiences with the one my dad has.
