its got a flowtech, waitng for my turbo, and trying too get a tubular turbo header from stinger, with the intercooler kit. Buying a crotch rocket here soon so I can rip this engine apart, and install the 2.3 stroker kit and turbo cam ( but also thinking about volvo head swap, please some one talk me out of it, lol) after I get my engine and trannny done I'll work on flowmasters and dual pipes( so it will look like the gt, I'm just shooting for a clone look, but I doubt it will sound like a v8( minus 4 cylinders ), but hopefully it sounds nice under boost! The only thing I'm lacking is the fuel managment, looking for turbo lx's help(thinking megasquirt) but have never been past piggy-back systems, stand alone is all new for me.

does anyone know if the bo-ports stage 1.5 cam is okay to use with the dual plug head because im seen some cams for the 2.3 that say that they dont work with the computer.

Hello everyone just joined today,wondering if anyone on here has ever tryed E85 in there cars before. I here there is some power gain by using E85?

LXpat93 · May 11th, 2009, 11:01 PM

i think our motors are a lil to old for e85 lol

DITCHDIGGER · May 12th, 2009, 05:32 AM

Yeah i kind of figured most of you guys probably ran Fuel injection and not carbs. I have been building a motor for a while and almost have it complete. The Engine man I use and I are kinda of leaning toward trying E85. Hearing alot of people saying you could gain a few Xtra horsepower and torque.I was just wondering if maybe someone own here had possibly tryed it.

I've seen a 2.3 Turbo on E85 put over 360 hp to the rear wheels. Theoretically, there could be something to gain on an NA car too, with proper tuning.

Thanks for the reply back. Just a little iffy,I have put a small fortune in this motor so far but trying to get all I can get out of it.

so on the egr block off plate,you dont need to trick the egr valve,on the v8's i have to make a small resistor pack so it tricks the computer thinking its still hooked up.then i just cut the egr plug off and sodier the resistor pack in.

Hey Guys,
I'm new at this but thought it was the best way to get some expirenced answers to some questions that I had. First off I have 90 lx 2.3L Mustang. Some of the changes that I have made have been 8.8 tracloc rearend, cold air intake, and ranger header. My question is what is a good cam for street/strip use? I thank you guys for your time and will be waiting for all your input.
