#13 of 62 some times floods out when starting by tiebeamman Nov 18, 2008 (10:33 am)
My 1992 twin turbo dodge stealth starts up fine after setting over night, and starts up fine just after shuting off engine, but most of the time after setting for an hour or so it seems to sound like it floods itself out. After letting it run for a bit it will clear itself up. I have put new injector, plug wires, plugs, and numerous sensors one the car.Fuel pump has been checked and is fine. And also i have put a new computor on the car. Replies to this message: SpeedBuggy (Jan 15, 2009 7:40 pm) tiebeamman (Jan 16, 2009 4:02 am)
#14 of 62 Converting '91 RT to Turbo? by dreamer16 Dec 19, 2008 (5:50 am)
My son is in Iraq and just before he left he asked me to try to get his '91 RT converted to a turbo motor. It is a custom Stealth with a RT motor. The motor blew back in October just before he deployed. With extra cash he gets from being in a war zone he has asked if I would try to get his Stealth not only repaired, but he'd love to have it modified to be extremely quick and fast. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this. He returns mid February and I'd love nothing more than to be there waiting with his Stealth read to roll. He has limited cash naturally, so that may completely make this a moot point?

Replying to: dreamer16 (Dec 19, 2008 5:50 am) You know, this doesn't sound like the best way to spend his money. This is a rather large heavy car to begin with, and I don't think it's ever going to be that "fast" compared to starting with something more modern and durable.   Just my two cents.   Visiting Host Replies to this message: tiebeamman (Dec 20, 2008 3:24 am) dreamer16 (Dec 20, 2008 4:29 am) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 20, 2008 9:12 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 19, 2008 10:39 pm) I agree i don't think it is a very good way to spend a yourng man's money just getting out of the service. But the car is fast and beautiful. How fast can you go now days on our busy highways anyway! And i have spent alot of money in just replacing new parts, some of which it didn't need and were easy to get to the engine. But i think at this day and age it would be best for someone with a limited amount of money to buy new with a warrenty. But if he still does want to convert his old with a blown engine to twin turbo. For get it. Lots of money. My car is the way to go.I have already spent the money. I have been a little obsessed with my car also, but it is time to let it go too someoneelse.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 19, 2008 10:39 pm) I hear you, but at the same time, the car is a complete custom set up. Shaved with no protrussions on the body at all. Over $2,500 invested in the interior to make it like a sound room. Beefed up brakes and a competition clutch etc. The only thing that had not been done was the motor. The original owner didn't care that much about the speed end of things, he was more into the esthetics. Anyway, my son now wants to "finish the job." Since the RT motor died he wanted to do it now. I've found TT motors (jdm) rebuilt with between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. I think the hard part is knowing how much additional cost I'm (he) is going to find as he makes the switch. Thanks... any additional comments are definitely welcome. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 20, 2008 9:12 am)

Replying to: dreamer16 (Dec 20, 2008 4:29 am) Here's a guy who has apparently done it, and you can see from his lists and reports that this is a formidable task:   http://www.bobthegreat.com/pages/mycar/mods/turbo/index.html   You're looking at a lot of money unless you know how to do these mods yourself---even then you have a lot of conversions and special fitting to do.   Seems to me he could just go buy a nice Stealth TT for $10,000 bucks and probably end up with a better car for less money.
#20 of 62 1992 dodge stealth by tiebeamman Dec 21, 2008 (1:25 pm)
You are absolutely right, i have spent a tremendous amount of money on my car. But i am the only owner, and it is a great car. But before i sell it or try to sell it i want it right for the next person. I still have a little problem and is giving me a fit trying to figure it out. I have asked for help on this forum but no answer, but have looked back at some of the other same problems that i am having and have done everything they have said it could posibble be. Just my luck none of the above. But when i do fine the problem you can be sure that i will tell it on the forum.

Replying to: tiebeamman (Nov 18, 2008 10:33 am) Just found this thread. Sounds like your ISC (Idle Speed control motor) is bad. It's located on the rear side of the throttle body, on top of the engine, towards the back. Half of it sticks inside the throttle body. Depending on the year, it's either a tan plastic plug, or a black plastic plug, connecting to the harness. Not difficult to change, and this thing is responsible for most non-necessary ECU replacements. Hope this is your problem and I'm not too late getting to you.

Replying to: SpeedBuggy (Jan 15, 2009 7:40 pm) Thank you for answering my problem on my dodge 1992 stealth. I have put a new ISC. ALso i have put the 2- 0/2 sensers on / fuel regulator/ starting heat senser/ Mass air flow senser/ all new injectors/ fuel filter/ I have checked for fuel pump preasure. I am taking it back in to a new shop today maybe for the last time. And if we do figure this thing out i will let everyone no. If you have anymore idea's, i will surely try them. Thanks for you help, it is most appreciated
