    low end

    The cone filter alone would be like 1hp or so, and the cats cause crappy runing because the engine requires a certain amount of back pressure to run properly. I would reccomend replacing your cats with performance cats that will free up flow, without making it A: Too free and B: enviornmentally...

    3'' MAF

    I offer this info as is. I have a 94 taurus in the front yard that I am parting out. I pulled the maf and it was a little bigger, and the sensor is less restrictive. I had to mangle my connector to get it to plug in (I recommend rewiring the harness leads to the taurus connector, which I was...

    Here's a rear end gear quandry

    When I did my T-5 swap I left the Auto gears in the back on my 87 lx. I'm getting the 87 turbo coupe tomorrow, and it was a manual, and I was considering swapping in the gears. I imagine it will accelerate more quickly on the go but I will loose some torque. She is capable of some really wicked...

    water in the engine

    I got water in mine and it clogged the catalytic converters. If other stuff doesn't help that's a good next step. (probably only happen if it's old and mostly clogged anyway. The water breaks loose soot and other gunk and it clogs the honey combs)

    i need help bad

    If no loss of fluid, I bet it's the master cylinder. Mine went out recently. At first I had to pump them to get them to hold, then they wouldn't at all. They would provide just a tiny bit of resistance, but not enough to stop the car or my foot.I doubt that both calipers on a 91 are frozen.

    low end

    Are you a large man? I could gain 15 hp if I went on a diet. You could put the car on one too. I just did a home based Ram Air Intake on mine, and it gave a great little boost, suprisingly especially at low end, and not so much up high. IF you want the details you can pm me. Not gonna share my...

    At a serious loss here need help...

    If the car is over heating due to a stuck thermostat, water would be pooring out of the over flow once it reaches it's boiling point. Most of this will happen during driving, and wont be detected during a cool idle test, and can be easily missed during an after drive inspection, because it tends...

    Fuel specs

    Is it a 93? Something similar just happened to me. My 2nd coil pack was sparking way late and causing strong afterburn because I was way rich. I changed the DIS module and it fixed it for 20 minutes, then the DIS burnt out again and it started doing it again. Then, after I screwed with it more...

    coper plugs?

    It's not all THAT bad. But it does suck ass when you get the cheap plug wires and ALL the leads break off and stay on the plug. Even if you use a boot puller, which wont fit on most of those anyway. But I changed all 8 in like an hour, and that was with me pulling the boots off, having to fish...

    Aerostar Drive Shaft mods

    I would imagine you'll have to get it cut welded and balanced to match your driveline length. The yokes looks the same, but I don't have any immediate experience with this. Does it feel alot lighter than the stock one? IF this turns out worth while for you I might try it.

    Supercharged 2.3

    that's the craziest s**t I've ever seen. Ya know, there is a blower I've seen installed on cameros on tv that is the size of like an AC compressor, in fact, I think I saw one that adapter platted into the stock position of that part and used the stock belt. Maybe that could work on the 2.3 a...
  13. Distortion 5.0

    so i bought myself an LX today... $400.

    It's attitudes like that which are causing me not to be able to find complete 2.3s anymore. Theres only like 5 cars between manual t-birds and stangs 87-93 within 200 miles of me on auto trader. I drove for 4 hours the other day and saw two, an auto lx 93 for 1300, and an svo in a junkyard that...

    When I get my day job I plan to skin my whole interior in leather. Gonna do alotta custom intro work with t-bird dash and stuff. Gonna go two tone, black and white. If done correctly, It will be very classy and expensive looking.

    Parts from the Yard (16V head)

    Yeah, I noticed on my intake that the circumference was really really crappy. Is this just a bolt on mod, or does it take finaguling?

    what ever happened with the volvo DOHC swap?

    Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME??? If you can really get that kind of a power boost for 1500, you WILL be hearing from me in 6 months, guaranteed. Let me get my turbo project finished up, and I will start saving up the cash. Holy crap that's gt killer potential right there. I'd make ricers eat...

    Turbo modified into belt driven ????

    correction I think you are forgetting about a little thing called ram air. Totally free horsepower. Even reduces drag on the atomic level.

    Detonation when turbo'ing an N/A

    I'm using the entire wiring harness from the t-bird. Every single wire will be from the t-bird. Shouldn't all that other stuff work the same as it did in the t-bird? Also gonna use the distributor and all components electrical.

    2.3 turbos got no sac

    I actually bsed the maf from a 94 taurus into my stang and it made it run better (mostly due to the slightly lower restriction setup). So I would imagine a malfunctioning one could cause power loss. After all, every component in the fuel system is vital. Everytime I changed one out, things got...
