it was a turbo 2.3.. is it worth the time and money? or should i just go for the 2.3T?

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 12:43 AM

well it is a turbo, just the stock block with cast pistons, cant go more then 8 psi with it, as for the 2.3T's you can go up to 30, im dialed in at about 27psi

also check out this FknBadFkr's SVO, he's got a bad ass setup, all info is on Turbo ford of his car

Check it out!

yeah that car is SICK

so do you ever buy cars on ebay or other websites lik that or do you usually do everything in person?

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 12:52 AM

Yea he pulled 639hp with that, twin turbo DOHC

i do buy some parts off ebay, but there is a 2.3T performance shop right down the road from me, thats where most of my performance parts come from

I've been trying to get the cam timing right on my engine (damn thing is being a bitch lately)

I also installed my boost gauge and made one hell of a mess in my garage

What about you?

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 01:53 AM

So you installed a boost gauge and made a mess inthe process?

lol where are you trying to set the timing at?

were getting ready to repaint mine, and then were going and doing a dyno tune at the shop and dial in everything

MSO · August 18th, 2007, 02:36 AM

so turbo, you figure out a way to make the posts in this thread not count?

if you do, sticky it

and i dunno if i shud use the same block for my volvo head

you say the block is weaker, but other ppl say its the same thing

i really want to keep the block, cuz i want it to be the same 2.3 that everyone makes fun of

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 09:40 AM

Well i cant make posts count or not

thats board control

you can use the stock block, it could handle up to about 500hp

MSO · August 18th, 2007, 11:15 AM

u sure? i only plan to have ~300hp, if that

ask the admin

and make this a sticky

im tellin ya, best thing you'll ever do for this forum

I was trying to set the timing "0*" on the stock 2.3 N/A (still need it for my driving test and I also still needs parts for the swap)

you can use the stock block, it could handle up to about 500hp

I thought jon huber had a 1000hp+ 2.3 stock block stroked to 3.0

93fourbangerstanger · August 18th, 2007, 02:56 PM

my plans are

big cam
port and polish heads
5 lug and rear gear conversion
fat ass drag lights

mabey thow a 351 or 5.0 if i get the money after i mess around with the 2.3

Hourofpain · August 18th, 2007, 03:18 PM

My plan....

to resurect my dead pos 2.3 from the junkyard and drop it onto yours turbo lol...

and tis be the start of a pile of junk 2.3's

MSO · August 18th, 2007, 05:55 PM

and jon huber has a tall-deck block made for racing (very rare, btw)

ours can only be stroked to a 2.9

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 06:19 PM

Yes MSO is correct, tall deck blocks are very rare and expensive

and its a bit hard to set the timing at 0*, Set at 10* advanced with spout out, then put spout back in and it should be at 20* advanced or so, you'll get a few ponies that way to

MSO · August 18th, 2007, 06:37 PM

any luck getting this thread stickied?

sleeper_inc · August 18th, 2007, 06:37 PM

*smacks turbo on the head* The CAM timing, my ignition timing is at 10* with spout out

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 06:49 PM

dude you said 0*

i would make this a sticky but its just not worth it really

MSO · August 18th, 2007, 06:57 PM

w/e..

keep bitchin about the spam then..

:sleep

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 07:01 PM

sleeper_inc · August 18th, 2007, 07:33 PM
