This aftermarket performance enhancement centers around forced induction for Chrysler’s inline six-cylinder engine, specifically the 225 cubic inch displacement version. It comprises the necessary components for installing a turbocharger system. These typically include the turbocharger itself, exhaust manifold modifications or a new turbo manifold, an intercooler (if desired), plumbing for oil and coolant lines, a wastegate to control boost pressure, and potentially fuel system upgrades to accommodate the increased airflow.
The appeal of such a system lies in its potential to substantially increase the power output of the engine. The original design, while robust and reliable, was not known for high horsepower figures. Forced induction overcomes this limitation, leading to improved acceleration and overall performance. Historically, these types of modifications were less common due to technological limitations and availability, but advancements in turbocharger technology and aftermarket support have made them a viable option for enthusiasts seeking greater performance from this engine.
