NooB Here where to start

ok im a noob here but by no means a noob to the motorsport world i recently sold my 5.0 ranger and have a bronco2 rock crawler fullwidth... Heres my new project dillema or questions for ya.. i just purchased a 88lx 2.3L the engine is almost new its a 5 speed car it allready has a spec clutch and modded suspension but thats about it...im looking to try to build a ricer killer with this thing i have a 5.0 in the garage but who dont have an lx with one of tose in it i wanna build a 2.3 thatll make those v8 guys cringe so i do have another option too this is my question i also have a 88 t-bird turbo coupe my two options here are take the t/c entire engine and swap to start as a base i was told that it may have forged internals ....or i can just rob the turbo and manifold and assorted junk and go with that on the stang2.3 what do you guys think....also im looking for some simple mods to get a little more hp out of it but i want to go with stuff that will not need upgraded as the car grows any ideas....what im looking for is build a hella fast street car without sacrificing to much dependablilty ...2.3 turbo..prolly like to run a wet nitrous system if i can find one and get away with it.....Thanks Zach

Thanks for the links im new to this who;e turbo concept im a na guy normally so this is my first go at the whole turbo thing hell my panger ran 12.85 na ...does anyone have a link or can help out me like a turbo for dummies book when i pop the hood on the stang i can relate everything i see but the t bird turbo engine looks like a bam madusa head with wires and hoses runnine everywhere and wastegates boost controllers ect im lost...Zach

thanks i understand sometimes type faster than i think... OK ONE MORE Q? theroeticly if i have everything i need can this be done in a weekend so i can drive to work on monday??? Zach

Well im a long time car and truck builder with alot of custom fabrication experience..so half but approach is out of the question...but basicly im looking at only new exaust fuel pump a few brackets and mechanicals seeing how the t/c is loaded and im only gonna keep the alt and pwr steering pumps...and just a little computer wiring changes and intake system mods and theoreticly i should be on the road after i set up clutch...does that sound about right...Zach
