    crank and rear gears ?

    1rst Question; Yes, or if it was cracked/fractured 2nd Q; The toothed sprocket sandwiched between ring-gear and housing is for ABS, leave it on as these gears are machined to accept it. Does not matter if you use ABS or not

    2.3 fuel injectors

    Well if your milage and power is suffering now, flooding the engine with 19 lb'ers is not gonna make it better. Power and fuel economy is on the lean side anyway. Accel make a 4 pack in 15 and 17 lb if you must increase, but I would guess any mods you have could be quenched with an...

    Gas mileage question

    Air filter, O2 sensor, and make sure engine is getting up to operating temperature. That little hose that runs out the bottom of intake manifold usually gets plugged and stops coolant flow past sensor, and nobody ever flushes this out. If it has been more than 3 years do a coolant flush and...

    whats better t3 or ihi

    I think the IHI is a good little turbo. Try it first. For squirting through traffic you can't beat the quik spooling I had mine spooled up by 1800 rpm and pulling hard like a supercharger My .63 T3 I get going around 2500 with the help of a header and exhaust. A little more delay but a...

    Turbo Cams???

    Agressive? as in overlap or lift? I've seen many make the mistake of overcamming a good engine (turbo and N/A) in anticipation of big HP. Considering that the Ford A237 is worth about $600 up here and that's about as agressive a profile as I would run on my street turbo. A special grind with...

    Turbo Cams???

    My take on this is if you've exhausted all your funds into the best turbo, a header, exhaust, intercooler, fuel delivery, and head work, then yes spend some on a cam.

    '92 LX Notch ideas

    Lol, once you get addicted to boost you'll park that GT. My turbo gets 28mpg on the hwy when not boosting and at least 22 around town. I can beat most stock V-8's easy. (this is why the SVO was cancelled) If I race and lose to a modded 8, all I do is open the hood and show em the 4 banger...

    What octane gas does everyone use? (n/a and turbo)

    I run 94 in my turbo and cheap 87 in the N/A 2.3 The Higher octane burns slower and allows the piston to reach closer to TDC before complete combustion, thus reducing or hopefully eliminating detonation. Even in a normal aspirated engine you may need to use higher octane if you a. raise...

    al4d attached to 2.3T

    I wanted to keep my A4LD cause of overdrive and lock-up but my tranny guy talked me out of it. You can get converter lockup kits/switches and Explorer parts but the main shaft is still the weak point apparently. Turbo's are fun in an automatic, I'm giving up OD for a bullit proof C-4...

    racer walsh

    I bought the RW crank pulley. By the time it got here to Canada I might as well have paid someone to lathe me one. The gain I noticed was in throttle response, mainly quiker reving. If it unloads accessories it must free up some HP I figure. Bhuff; people say a lot of things like MSD...

    Rear End!!!!

    Well the pinion gear shim is under the pinion bearing but the side shims could have been close to your other gears. I have changed gears before and ended up reusing these but this is lucky if they are the required shims. As long as you had some play in gears, say10 thou, this would be safe...

    Rear End!!!!

    4.10's will normally whine more at high speed. Above 50? This is the noise you are talking about? There is a special cross pin from Ford and Richmond. If you installed the 4.10's with the shims that came out with them you should be ok. Specially if they are Ford gears. The housings are...

    Rear End! From 7.5 to 8.8 HELP!

    I will be doing it on my project Notch, but I have the parts car to snag it from. Worthwhile? This could be more of a personal preference but what it does besides give you a beefier rear end is more gear options and availability, better selection and price on parts and kits, and bigger clutch...

    downpipe

    Clearance issues for one, and you have to realize even on a turbo engine you can go too large depending on your engine and what rpm you want to make power. Exhaust velocity is still important.

    steering whl swap

    Anyone know if an 86 TC wheel will fit my 90 stang? I don't care about the cruise control, just need horn to work. Actually it would be nice to have the whole tilt column, or am I gettin too greedy? :shrug:
