    Super Quiet Exhaust

    Once you start the race you want care about under load noise ;) It's that at idle you want quite and I don't see it happening on a 375rwhp 2.3T, even with juice. I would think that big cam you would need to reach that hp goal would give it away. Here is a link to build a killer 2.3T sleeper...

    A question about our 2 cats

    In my mind if you got a ton of miles on a stock cat, it's time for it to go :D Now my muffler shop said it was legal for me to leave the pre cat off which is almost attached to your exhaust manifold. I would check with your shop/laws if you can or can't run without it. This probaly gave me .5HP...

    Should I buy? Need general 2.3L info

    I've put my 93' LX notch 2.3L through hell and then through hell all over again with zero problems 130k. The main thing on these cars that most have problems with is the A4LD (AOD trassmission). These cars are slow as Christmas but are darn near bullet proof. I would like to mention on the...

    injector size?

    This is where I wonder if this will work. I always heard when going to the next size injector like a 19lb on a N/A 2.3L you need the matched MAF.Anyways, will the SD just work right off the bat when he drops in the 19's :shrug: PS. you can usualy find a set of 8 19lb high pendence ( how...

    300+ RWHP??

    This goal is a little easier to reach if you ask me. Well atleast the 300rwhp part. Now first off you probaly can reach 300rwhp using cheaper stock parts than what I'm about to mention. This is just the way I would do it. Ported head w/big valves ( this should work fine even till 375rwhp I...

    300+ RWHP??

    No, you will need a boost gauge. This is a must have gauge anyways to help keep an eye on boost creep and other problems that may pop up. The Gillis valve is going to be the most suggested valve from any 2.3T guy you talk to and for good reason. The guy actually owns 2.3T cars and only deals...

    possible te buy an import and not be called a ricer?

    Your cars does 9's - 7's in the 1/4 mile ? I saw a Honda do 9's in the 1/4 about a year ago and it was the first to do it on a N/A motor :nice: As much as I hate imports there is no way I'm knocking that car.

    What good does a Breather do?

    I think it helps save on burning to much oil but I'm wondering if this is different on 2.3L to a 2.3T :scratch: The ones for a 2.3T don't even look like a filter at all.

    What good does a Breather do?

    I think you maybe confused with athe PVC Valve :shrug: This is a check vlave designed to release pressure from the crank case to help keep you from blowing your gaskets, like the oil pan gaskets. This is located pretty close to the distribitor. Back in the days they installed little...

    What good does a Breather do?

    Hey Thanks Eric. I couldn't remember what that thing did for the life of me :( It's a oil seperator and as you stated, cuts down on oil blow by. I think most people just clean it out and reuse it but don't quote me on it. Now if they make a new kit deal for this I may need one my self :D

    Just another mourning message another dead SVO

    A 302 is a 302 no matter how you slice it The 4 bar carb 85 GT had 210 hp, basicaly the same hp as the 85.5-86 SVO. Anyways the 91-93 stangs wasn't to much more, I think they are about 225bhp. The main reason I would use a newer 5.0L is the fordged pistons and the MAF. Now you can convert a...

    What good does a Breather do?

    I'm guessing you are also talking about the air breather? All 2.3s are basicaly in the same spot on the fender. The SVOs has the air box hooked up to a VAM sensor while a 2.3L is hooked up to like a MAF depending on the year of car and if it's carb or EFI. I really don't think they have a...
