    Hey XANAX, its getting old

    Hey, Im not one to flame or anything but the past two days i have come to the board and you have posted a reply to like 20 threads, and none of your replies have anything to contirbute to the thread itself. Always stuff like "I agree" or "that wont work" or "that will work" after someone else...

    What is this worth

    Run a carfax on that, seems like a little more wear on the interior than a 26K car should have, bet it flipped over to 126K and was just extremely well cared for... makes the difference between a $10K car and a $4K car. it looks very nice overall but id be skeptical if thats the actual...

    HELP!

    yep, will work just fine. the borg warner T5 trans was used in the 2.3L cars from the early 80's up till 93. there is a really good chart on them out there somewhere, there is another at http://www.gt350mustang.com that has the gear ratios. the turbo cars had slightly higher torque ratings on...

    dual exhaust

    you dont need anything added to the line to relocate, just move it outta the way and secure it wherever you can so it wont move around too much... i just used some pop rivets and clamps to hold mine in place (this is of course after i pulled a little too much on it and broke the line, which then...

    no boost?

    yep that is your problem... that is your wastegate, its set to open when the boost pressure reaches a specific amount (10 psi i believe.) this is how it works: boost pressure goes into the "round canister", when it has enough pressure to overcome the spring inside it pushes it, the rod...

    n/a block different from turbo block?

    this question gets answered almost daily... do a search on it or check out the faq at turboford.org... like he said, you can and it will run for a while, but you really do need the forged pistons. The turbo has lower compression to compensate for the boost also. If you lean out and detonate...

    New engine, new leaks

    check your tps sensor, and IAC. I think there is a really good writeup on this on stingers site... other than that all the same stuff you always hear; plug wires, dist cap, rotor, and correctly gapped plugs (all ford parts). you did put the spout back after you timed, right? that would do it...

    How is this!!!

    I think its called Grimm's its out towards smithsburg. If you are heading east on I-70 and take the exit for smithsburg (rt 66) youll go about 10 miles, once you hit rt 64 you make a left and its only about 5 miles or so it will be on both sides of the road... the cars are on the left side and...

    does our cars...

    IAC = Idle air control... it is basically a plunger actuated by an electric motor. It diverts air around the "butterfly" in the throttlebody to control idle speed. sounds like you might need to get a new one... mine got crud buildup in it and the plunger wasnt seating properly and when i...

    How is this!!!

    If that does not work out there is an 86 tc in the hagerstown md junkyard that you could swap in. last time i was up there (about a month ago) it was all still there less the pipe from the turbo to the throttlebody. turbo needed rebuilt and the upper engine had a small fire (will need...

    Adding AC?

    I did a turboswap from an 86 tc to an 89 mustang and am adding the TC A/C system to mine. From what i can tell by what I have done so far you should be good to go as far as wiring/vac is concerned... every thing I needed was already there (plug for the compressor clutch and the pressure cutoff...

    Looking to make my 2.3 FAST

    Yeah Like notched86 said, what do you have now? Im guessing you are still runnin all stock in which case you now have a whopping 88 hp. There are a few easy things you can do to make a little more power, and make drivin a little more fun. The first things most of us did was to remove the...

    Mineral Grey '66 Shelby

    MAN that is the exact same paint scheme I was gonna go with on my 66 coupe! Mineral Grey with black stripes! I had seen one other classic mustang painted this color (on ebay) and it made me like it even more! Yours looks AWESOME! :hail2: Id love to see it in person, are you planning on...

    Runs but wont move, tranny?

    Hmmmmm maybe I have gotten it unstuck by yankin on the shifter so much since I last tried to move it... I havent tried since then. Ill take another look at it when i am off tomorrow... can any damage be done to the clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing because it sat so long? I plan on...

    Runs but wont move, tranny?

    I have tried this, even at what seemed far excessive rpms and it still just shakes and stalls (although not at fast as if i tried letting out at lower rpms.) tried this in both 1st and reverse with the same result and no movement of the car. A friend of mine was working on a vette that got...

    Runs but wont move, tranny?

    hi, I have a 66 with the I6 and 3spd manual. the car was sitting for probably about 4 years before I bought it and this past weekend I got it running again. I was going to pull it out of the garage, just to straighten up a bit and sweep under it, and when I put the car in gear and let out the...

    66 Mustang backup light problem

    my 66 has two wires coming through the hump right near the shifter. i thought that these were for the reverse lights. if that is what they are the sensor you are looking for may be on the top of the tranny and hard to see if you are under the car. if Im wrong about these two wires someone let...
