    worthwhile mods for a NA 2.3?

    I have n/a mod suggestions on this page that I have tried/used http://140cilx.stangnet.com/about.html however, turbo is the only way to go. Any guy w/ a n/a 2.3 that wants more I think should be patient and locate an SVO while they are still affordable. Sell the LX and have an awesome car...

    what could be wrong wiht my choke?

    ...instead you have an IAC (Idle Air Control), this is mounted on the side of your Throttle body. I would unplug it from the harness, remove it from the throttle body and clean it out with contact cleaner, spray inside liberally get all the black crap out, sometimes they stick. While doing...

    I hit the gas, but no acceleration.. whats up?

    his is an '89 so just the four plugs. And his sig says CAI and no cats. So have you given the car a tuneup? New plugs, wires, dis cap, rotor button, adjusted the timing, clean air filter, fuel filter? I'd also try advancing the timing to 12-14 degree's. This will liven it up about as much as...

    2.3 vs 5.0 steering & springs

    although I could tell a big difference between the SVO's original TRW rack and the new GT one I put in it (the TRW sucked). I can't tell the difference between my SVO's new GT rack and my LX's original rack. Swaybars, good struts, strut tower brace, will go a huge ways in making that car carve...

    Question about SVO front bumper cover.

    No it's not possible. To make it work you need to modify your fenders, put on a new hood, put on an SVO header panel (holds the headlights) and the front clip.

    Transmission mount installation question?

    Just find a good salvage mount, unbolt the old one, install the new one. Support the tranny w/ a jack while doing so. Maybe I'm missing the point of your question.

    Yes, def must increase the boost, but havta get all those ingredients working together towards that. Then, if your estimate pegs the new numbers - well I could live w/ that. :D

    Turbo Motor Pics.. Need Opinions (DUW)

    Red, I just haven't run into a head that needed new valve guides yet - that's all. I don't have the part numbers, sorry. Ash, The valve guide is the metal part of the head that holds the valve stem, the seal is mounted on top of it, hidden under the valve springs. Some people use a tool. I...

    Turbo Motor Pics.. Need Opinions (DUW)

    Dudes, Change your valve seals so it doesn't smoke and get worse while you've got the simple opportunity. On the valve job, here's the quick yet perfect way to do it (I think MikeSVOr has some pics of this on his website). Take the valvetrain apart, remove the cam, rockers, springs...

    Where's Crovax? I expected a ripping from him about it on TF? 240 hp/316 torque hit the 316 at 3,050 rpm. 19 lbs boost. A/F stayed flat going just to lean at 6k which I can live with. That of course made me really happy since by looking at the engine the only non-stock looking thing is...
