    Dizzy has me scratching my head

    15 degrees base timing is very high if your running 87 octane.

    88 SVO motor, adjusting boost level

    Sorry, I should have been more specific, the car is a 92 mustang that I put an 85 SVO motor into, so no factory boost gauge.

    88 SVO motor, adjusting boost level

    I bought Joe's custom harness to get around the wiring problem. Is the turbo supposed to be very loud? I have the K&N cone on the VAM and when it is boosting people outside the car say there is an extrememly loud whoosing sound as the car drives by accelerating. Guess that's the way turbo's are...

    88 SVO motor, adjusting boost level

    Stock 85 svo longblock, with 86 svo intake, and xr4ti wet turbo using an 85 SVO compressor housing. I'm using the gillis valve, and watching the boost gauge, as I accelerate hard in first the needle jumps to about 18 for a second then for the rest of the acceleration wiggles at around 16. Is my...

    Very Unhappy With MSD Superconductor Wires!

    This is the second set that have gone bad. I guess the crane ignition and blaster coil reak havoc on the wires, after about 3 months of use the wires begin arcing to any metal they come across basically the whole length of the wire. Anyone else have this problem?

    Who's running Nitto 555R 315 's on their convertible?

    I have Nitto 555R 315's on the back of my 95 vert mounted to a set of 17x10.5 FR500 wheels. I currently have hard top sportlines so the car sits low and when I take a corner the tires rub the inside of the fender. Thinking about getting the pro-kit designed for the convertible to give me more...

    Grrrr, Failed Smog after turbo swap! Help!

    I PASSED!! WOOHOOO! I cleaned the egr and disconnected the spout so the timing stayed at 10 degrees, disconnected the FPR so it would run rich and cool the cylinders, and passed with flying colors! Thanks for everyone's help.

    Anyone ever have ther 2.3 Turbo pull hard to 4000 then it stops pulling hard?

    Wow, I never thought of that, so the 88 turbo coupe has a wire spring in that rubber tube that connects the turbo snout to the VAM? I pulled a couple off at PickNPull but none had the spring, I'll try using a XR4TI rubber tube because it is about half the length.

    Anyone ever have ther 2.3 Turbo pull hard to 4000 then it stops pulling hard?

    Anyone ever have ther 2.3 Turbo pull hard to 4000 then stop pulling hard? I thought I read somewhere before that many people have had this problem with the 2.3T, that it pulls hard to 4000 RPM then it accellerates almost like a naturally aspirated car, slower. Here is what I have checked so...

    Are there lowering springs for 4 cylinder convertibles?

    I think the notchback uses different springs than a vert.

    Are there lowering springs for 4 cylinder convertibles?

    I bought a set of maxspeed lowering springs which said they fit 79-93 4cylinder coupe models and 94-04 V6 models, however those asses only make one spring for mustangs and say they work on every mustang V6, V8, and 4 cylinder, made from 79-04 excluding IRS stangs. Sounds like :bs: Anyways I put...

    Grrrr, Failed Smog after turbo swap! Help!

    Good and Hot, just how I like my women, lol! I think it is the EGR, the the EGR has a restrictor if I remember right. It narrows the egr inlet to about 1/8 inch hole at the back of the manifold. I figure this hole is plugged with carbon and maybe if I clean that out it will do the trick. Already...

    Grrrr, Failed Smog after turbo swap! Help!

    Grrrr, Failed Smog! Help Please! Put the 88 Turbo coupe motor into my 92 stang. I put on a new cat. The guy I went to is pretty cool, he said he would disregard whatever was under the hood if I passed the sniffer. Well Shiitte, I passed everything except NOx. What causes that? Anyone fail...

    Turbo swap HELP

    I worked on my turbo swap into a 92 stang for 8 months then gave up and spent $500 for a painless wiring harness for the 2.3T made by Joe. I chased wiring problems and eventually gave up, retrofitting the stang harness just didn't work for me so when I hooked up joes harness the car started...
