thunderbird turbo coupe and mustang 2.3L
84.5-86.5 mustang SVO, 86-88 tbird,then ifu can find em, cougar xr7 turbo, merkur xr7. man
getting ready to do this swap myself. ^ all you need to know.
yea pretty much those are your cars
do a lot of research also
make sure you have another vehicle tho
the swap doesnt take long, its getting it tuned properly and all the bugs worked out
Check out rangersrevenge.com, he has a 2.3T pushing 278.8 HP. The videos on there are pretty sweet.
only thing to remember is merkurs don't come with an intercooler. not that you can't add one in later, just saying, it's got xxx,xxx miles with no ic... and if you have 98+ 2.3/2.5 i hear you can use your stock electronics...
yea you can, check out that site
i have driven that truck, pretty sick
he lives not to far away from me
he is running a SCT tuner, 90mm MAF, stock motor with turbo pistons in it, holset H1C turbo at 25psi, 60lb injectors, stock ranger tranny, spec stage 4 clutch, volvo front mount IC, turbo XS BOV
thats pretty much it, but with 25psi he is over 300hp at the wheels, prolly closer to 340
he just got a wideband O2 sensor, very fast truck
we raced an EVO a few weeks back, evo thought his car was super fast, haha we stayed with him the whole time
salating, how is your swap coming?
swap is done
i will be boosting tomorrow(friday)
i will only be running 15psi till i change out my fuel pump sometime this coming week
