Stock Internals strength.

Hey, I'm a newb to turbo 4 cylinder stangs as should be obvious by the title but I am researching a swap that at least I havn't seen anyone else do before and was wondering what are the stock internals good up till on the 2.3T engines? Thanks in advance.

up till they break.

No realy what do you mean, HP rating?
if so I know Dave At Tiny avenger laid down 408 on stock botom end. but everything else is worked to the Balls.

Others have gone more and most have gone less it all depends on the condition. The 2.3T is a tough little motor.

Welcome to the place where every other person has done a 2.3Turbo swap The stock internals are good for quite awhile, engine management with a stock turbo has gone as far as 300 rwhp.
The bottom end will hold if you keep it in the "stock" RPM range, and keep it tuned.

Thanks for your help guys thats exactly what I wanted to know. And I'm 99.9% sure this swap is an original.
