ok guys here is what i have and your all going to say "and it works right?"
i have a 1990 mustang lx 2.3L that started as an auto (with the A4LD<----pos) which has had a t5 swap. it has a ported head, 410 lift 272 dur roller cam, motorsport coated long tube header w/2.5" exhaust, 2.3 stroker motor(aftermarket kit) so now it is a 2.5L. i have also bumped the compression from the stoke 9.5:1 to 10:1 it has been converted to mass air from a early DIS car, but still using the single plug head with the dist. and yes there is no check eng lights or codes!
as for the rest of the car it will probly make you sick! it has fully boxed rear control arms with bbk(640 ppi front) lowering springs (not progresive ones), 5way tokicos poly bushings, and svo 7.5" posi unit with 3:73 gears(stock on the 2.3 auto mustangs) 93 cobra rear discs, 5.0 11" front brakes 5.0 front and rear sway bars and steel braided lines all around the whole car including the rear end feed line! not to mention the bump steer kit offset rack bushings and caster camber plats from steeda(to correct for the car being lowered so far). also a ron davis 2 row rad!<----- well worth the $200 it costed me brand new! 79-93 mustant fox bodies take a standard ford 29" core radiator dont not buy the direct fit before you price a standard ford 29" core one! it might save you a few hundred dollars!
the 7.5" rear end will soon be replaced with a 8.8" that has 3:55 gears(stock in the 5spd 2.3 mustangs) than i here is where you will all chringe. the turbo is coming soon, to make it go boom! lmao i dont really plan on putting alot of boost to my motor, probly like 10-12 psi max untill i really want to blow it up. i will also be upgrading to a bigger throttle body and mass air meter with 36# or maybe 42# injectors depending on which ones come along at the right price first.
this car handles and brakes better then GT's with worked over suspention due to it being lighter. go figure it rides tight as hell down the road!
i am waiting to get it dynoed as it is right now just to see howmuch i have gained from the stock 88hp.lol if i get any loss of traction in first or second gear the tires will just star spinning at 2500rpm which is where the rpm range starts on it.
so if any body has any ideas for me please let me know. you all may think i have that i have spent way too much money on this thing, which my wife would agree with you, but to be honest including the price of the car $1200 i am only in this car maybe $8000-9000 including the cost of the car and that is it! which we paid $6600 for my wife last car then proceed to spend a $1000 on it just to fix crap that was broke
