    Best 2.3 Turbo Exhaust???

    I have a 3" elbow off the turbo, a 3" downpipe, a high flow cat from ebay, and a Dynomax Superturbo muffler dumped before the axle. All bends are mandrel. I would recommend a tail pipe - around 3000 rpms and whenever I'm coasting, I get a very loud resonation inside. I can deal with it, but if...

    Oil Leak out front

    At first, my turbo engine did the same thing you described in your first post. My problem was the front main seal and cover. It still leaks a very small amount, but not enough to go back in there and mess with it. My oil pan gasket kept sliding out in the front.

    Need an exploded view!

    I have a few pics of my engine here. I think Stinger also has some pics on his website. Hope that helps.

    What do you guys do with your N/A's?

    My old n/a short block is on the engine stand taking up room in the garage. The block is in decent condition, and could be used again. Heck, it only has about 73K miles on it and doesn't have much ring wear, so it could be put in some other car as an n/a....but who would want to? Probably going...

    Dyno graphs

    :bang: I realize that now.. Guess I wasn't paying attention too well earlier.

    Dyno graphs

    You were having spike problems before, correct? Does having it come from the turbo help, or does it still spike?

    Dyno graphs

    bhuff, interesting results.. I would have thought you'd have gotten higher HP as well. In your list of mods, you don't say anything about the head, so that's still stock, correct? My gillis valve spikes to 22 and then comes down to 20. I did the drinking straw around the spring trick this...

    signal lights died any 1 know about these?

    2 things I could be are a bad ignition switch or if one of the bulbs is burned out, they won't work.

    header wanted

    Check with Silver Pony on this forum.. I know he used to have a Range header for sale, but I'm not sure if he still does.

    All About Rear Ends!

    I have an 8.8 with SN95 axles, and I hardly notice the wheels sticking out too far. Only issue I had was with the 255/45/17 tires rubbing a bit on the fender lip. The hammer fixed that in a matter of minutes. Here's some pics: Pic 1 (Yes, I know, the 'tards at the shop mounted the tire...

    2.3L turbo VAF/MAF ?

    Check the forums at www.turboford.org. I've seen 3 of them for sale in the last week. They usually go for about $40 to $50.

    pcv

    That the ECU expects a certain amount of air is what I had concluded.. that's why I had a problem with saying it was "metered." I don't have any experience with carb'd engines, so my 2.3 and 4.0 Ford engines are the only ones that I have done much with. From the first day I fired up my...

    Wish I had replied here sooner, but I have been really busy with work and school. I think I mostly agree with 85_coupe, it's just that we are not really talking on the same level. I got really hung up on his claim that the PCV was metered. I just don't see how that's possible. It's a flow...

    pcv

    I don't know.. I'm still not quite following along here. The turbo-specific PCV valve, the EV-127A, is a one way valve. As we know, this is supposed to only let air in under vacuum conditions. The valve that I made functions identical to the stock turbo PCV valve. It's a one way valve. Only...

    That's how I thought it worked.. I could have just mis-read 85_coupe's post.

    pcv

    Ok.. now that makes me wonder. On my turbo engine, I put a brand new EV-127A PCV valve on there.. by 3000 miles, it was leaking and I was pressurizing the crankcase under boost. I decided to make my own PCV valve from stuff at Lowe's. After installing my valve, it ran much better and the boost...

    aftermarket shifter

    I have a Steeda Tri-Ax and I love it. However, I haven't used or felt any other shiftes, so... it's an easy install and very well worth it. It really increases the fun factor. :cool:
