There's nothing to throw at the N/A 2.3 motor. Wait until after school to throw some money at a 2.3 turbo motor. Stick around here and more importantly turboford.org and learn AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Keep the engine well tuned

remove the air silencer (in front of your airbox)

You'll gain 2-3hp and maybe a couple of ft-lbs of torque..

but like the guys said, there is almost nothing to do..

From everything I hear a good, cheap upgrade is also to swap in a ranger cam.

Plus, always get a K&N filter

And really, a K&N isn't going to make that much of a difference. It's not worth the $40-$50 you'd have to spend.

Why not just take off the airbox altogether?

Listen to them, I am and learn. I have a 2.3 turbo but am learning from the forum. A 2.3 turbo can go from 145hp to extremes with a Volvo head Major Bucks. Start saving money search for 2.3 turbo. Talk around someone may know someone where you can get a motor.Until then read the old post use the search,search the internet there is tons of info on 2.3turbo. Use the schools acess to learn. Good luck hope to hear more
