    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    I have a 2.3 turbo in my 93lx. I run it at 21lbs of boost with ported intake, head, and manifold with 3" exhaust and I have handed it to plenty of bolt on 5.0's. H/C/I are a different story though. There are plenty that you can do to the 2.3t's to make them fast. Several are running low 12's...

    Hard Brake Line

    I was swapping the rear in my mustang to a 8.8 and the hard brake line going to the back was all rusted and broke. Is there anywhere I can get prebent tubing for these? Would it be the same as the '86's and olders?

    How hard is the 2.3T swap?

    Its not the easiest thing to do, but its not the hardest either. If you work at it and have everything before hand, you should be able to finish it in a weekend. The killer is when you have to constantly run to the parts store to get stuff. Just be sure to take your time with the wiring, do...

    HP GAIN TRICKFLOW HEADS!!!!

    I would agree with everybody else - definitely change the cam and the intake or your leaving a lot on the table. With the HCI and other supporting mods you should see around 300 hp to the wheels. Without the cam and intake i would prolly say around 250-260 to the wheels - depending on...

    Trick flow top end and SN95

    Your more than likely gonna have to run the spacer if you are using the TFS vc's - the IAC on the throttle body on my car just barely clears with the spacer. Mine does not rub the hood with the spacer :shrug:

    1/4 mile time

    I pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the car. Im starting to think it was just a combination of a lot of things that make it a little slower. Like heat soak, bad tire spin, shifting at different rpms, me not being the best driver. A few more trips down the track and I should get the times...

    1/4 mile time

    Im not granny shiftin it, but not power shifting it either. :shrug: Im not so much worried about et as i am mph. I thought that I should be trapping a little higher. It was spinning badly in 1st and a little in 2nd gear though.

    Strut Mount

    Use a big screwdriver to hold the slot at the top and grab a wrench. I usually spray it down with WD40 first if its a little corroded. Its a little hard at first but should break loose

    HCI Help

    Ok, I just finished my swap to TFS heads, stage 1 cam and street upper and lower. The problem im having is of course the idle surges and the car surges when cruising. I got a chip from jms and it didnt help the problem. It seems like its a vacuum leak. I chcked the tps and it was .98 and...

    Crank Pulley help

    Ok, Im trying to get my crank pulley off the dampner. The 4 bolts are out but it wont come off. Im I missing something? Once you get the 4 bolts and the center screw the pulley should separate from the HB right. :bang:

    Grrrr, Failed Smog after turbo swap! Help!

    I dont know what the min standards are in Ca, but here i passed without the egr even hooked up. It is on the car but only the exhaust pipe is connected. Not saying that this is not the problem. The first time i took it the car failed big time. I didnt check the timing before I went, but...
