    Drifting!!!

    Heh I think I see why Pro-Hawk is so miserable. He hears the word "drifting" and thinks of some kid in a flaming piss yellow Civic with aluminum park bench bolted to the back that jerks the wheel and locks the e-brake and spins out uncontrollaby in a cloud of smoke. LOL that is not what we are...

    Drifting!!!

    Well now I'm curious, if sliding a car sideways is not drifting, then what is? For those of you that actually think ricers invented drifting. Go slap yourselves. You can't control a sliding car worth **** with no power to the rear wheels.

    ok I want to port out intake manifold, a bit in the heads.

    well if you got a flexible shaft for a Dremel... I guess I should be able to do it myself if I can find a flapper wheel that can be poked down in there.

    ok I want to port out intake manifold, a bit in the heads.

    if I were back to the point that I had to rebuild the motor, I would have put the correct pistons in it just and built it as a turbo motor and be done with it... as it is I'm just going to play with the intake and then what I got is what I got. I'm sure that SOME power is being lost because...

    How much of a hp increase on a stock 88....

    James I was referring to original poster about K&N etc. Ranger header was a disappointment (some improvement, but...) get a longtube. The longer the exhaust gas pulses are isolated for each cylinder, the better. Really should have that intake manifold at least widened to match head ports...

    so will a flowmaster 40 sound pretty good a NA2.3?

    It sounds best on stock motor but modding it just makes it throatier, not really like honda fartcannon noise. Open up the exhaust and people will know you're coming. I never really could place a good description of the sound my car makes until I started getting teased about it. "You better...

    brakes sound weird...

    Coming from the front? Take the calipers apart and lubricate the bolts they slide on. The calipers should slide easily side to side, as they are the "floating" kind (piston(s) are only on one side so the caliper must move to bring the other pad into engagement). Also apply disc brake quiet...

    2.3 NA Power??

    Well the 2.3 is a highly detuned indestructible engine. It never came from Ford built for the purpose of being any fun in a car. Your buddy is going to have to dismantle the thing and build it properly. The basic bore and stroke design is oversquare and it has a noninterference valvetrain...

    WATS THIS? 2.3L ***S! U GUYS ARE GAY

    And a hell of a challenge that is. Blowing all kinds of money for 0 power. lol I feel like one of those ricers that can't get his Honda to pull on a dumptruck.

    How much of a hp increase on a stock 88....

    damn James still not done? I think you will be a hell of a lot better off than me. Ports are untouched on my head, I realize now I should have smoothed and polished them as best I could. air filter and muffler... oh, maybe that'll get ya a rip snortin 89 horsepower. With a new engine that...

    Drifting!!!

    ah I love drifting. Of course you have to make sure no one is around before you really go nuts, but on some street corners I'll kick the rear out a bit to negotiate a turn with all-wheel-steering. Gonna put an LSD in that thing (mostly for mud and snow traction), Ford Racing sells a 7.5"...

    how many miles should i be able to get off a full tank?

    I run my tank down with the needle below empty, when I can see a gap between the needle and the red empty mark is when I hightail it to a gas station. You can get the needle approx. 2 needle widths below the empty mark before you are seriously fubar. measuring miles per tank does not work...

    shaved head tech

    I ought to check my cam timing cuz I took .060" off the head and it aint got near the power it ought to, and a bit bumpy of an idle. I looked the marks over 3 times, they looked DEAD on but maybe I am missing a couple degrees after all. When you shave the head does that tend to bias the cam...

    ok I want to port out intake manifold, a bit in the heads.

    Hey guys, haven't posted in awhile. CLIFFNOTES VERSION 1) How big do I want intake runners? Gasket match too big? 2) What do I do in the intake head ports, just polish it up? 3) Where do I get manifold porting done? I have an N/A 2.3 and have done all of the following to it: Overbore...
