    Ghetto rig or what?

    I just put an electric fan on my Normally hot as hell intercooler. I figured this route is cheaper than a FMIC and no need to worry about turbo lag. Between this fan, 1500 degree VHTpaint on the manifold, and a heat shield, the air charge temp should be better. I have a pic on my myspace page if...

    Cracked manifold

    Ok, I just wire brushed a manifold and I noticed a hairline crack. It runs between #2 and #3 cylinder. It is realy small but it it about an inch long. Is this something to be concerned about? I thought I had an E6 manifold but it looks like an E3. I put a die grinder to the opening to make it...

    My hood

    Is it necessary to have a svo hood or any hood that will force air through the engine compartment. I have a basic tbird tc engine in a 89 lx. I have a old hood that someone cut a hole in it and it looks like crap so i put a sheetmetal scoop on it and it looks even worse. Will i get away with the...

    heat shield

    re: Cool. Let me know how that goes. I'm putting a new engine in my car this week and I'm getting some ideas. I'm wondering how much a machine shop would charge me to port my E6. Maybe even the upper intake.

    TC LX Coupe project...

    tc in lx I have a turbo coupe engine in a lx mustang coupe body. The tranny is the mustangs because the tc has a different way of working the clutch. the tc works off of vacuum and the stabg tranny uses a cable linkage. Use the tc injectors and get an aftermarket fule pump at least 190lph.

    91 2.3L won't start

    can't start The fuel rail is where the injectors get the fuel. It should be by the intake manifold. There should be a valve on it that is abou 1/2" tall, 3/8" round and sort of looks like a short metal tire valve stem. It's threaded and may have a black cap on it. Don't confuse it with the a/c...

    91 2.3L won't start

    can't start The fuel pressure valve should be at the fuel rail. Does the car's engine turn over but not start? Is the exhaust restricted from being rear-ended? Check for spark too.

    Nitrous??

    Ok. My Cobra had the entire msd ignition system including the BTM box, ign. coil and distributor. It cost about 600 bucks for that not incl. wires and plugs. The rotor and cap was replaced once a month due to the amount of corossion and wear of the points. Should I just get a good ignition coil...

    Suggestions for my '93 LX

    Dude, look at my garage. The wheels on it may be similar to what you're looking for. White walls belong on a woody station wagon but stang's need a sporty tire like nitto or even a basic goodyear. The classic pony wheels never go out of style and they come in different colors white, silver, chrome.

    Nitrous??

    OK, I'm boosting the old 89' thunderstang at 16 psi. The hood is modified to ram more air through the intercooler. The intake is ported and I have the large vam from a old 87 tbird w/ the brown top injectors. Now I have a Q for you more experienced 2.3 turbo guys. I was interested in the NX...

    heat shield

    q about your pic :D Did you get that manifold from 40bob.com? I was looking at them and they're expensive. I might just send mine to a machine shop.

    heat shield

    It won't restrict any flow. Basically it will be made from some scrap sheetmetal in my shop that I'll be using. It'll be covering the manifold without touching it and be routed over the emissions tube and under the jacket water hose. i'll bolt it to the edge (ear) of the intercooler with a 1/4...

    What's a safe boost level for a 1987 turbo coupe?

    ohh, well my car don't have that switch, just a overboost light. I guess i just have to adjust the timing with the distributor like my 5.0 and adjust the boost with the gillis valve.

    What's a safe boost level for a 1987 turbo coupe?

    What?? What switch are you refering? I have the 87' turbo coupe engine in a 89' lx body. The stock BCS had a spring, electrical connector, and two hoses.

    heat shield

    Thinking of fabricating a heat shield for the turbo coupe. I can bolt it to the intercooler and to the side of the engine so it covers the manifold. What do ya think? Is it worth it?

    Stinger Performance Tubular SS Turbo Header...9 days left!

    Is it worth installing one of these headers on a mostly stock 87 tbird? What kind of improvement will I see?
