That is a bad arse car. Jon jr can realy drive it. Jon sr did one heck of a job getting that thing together. JJ posts up over on turboford alot. And in a related venue, I had to change out a leaking injector today. Did not have to pull the upper intake. Thankfully i have several spare injectors laying around. Now I just need to install the new turbo and ported E-6....

swapped mine over too, sorry guys. but the best of luck. if any of you need parts let me know. the junk yard right by me only get low end models of everything. so 4cyls and 6cyls mustangs camaros firebirds n all that.

u guys that have done the turbo swap .. did u just do like a turbo with a MAF or did u get the turbo computer and the VaM?

cus i am not ganna be able to get this turbo motor rebuilt really soon so was thinking of picking up a MAF computer harness and sensor for cheep for now if i can just use it later would be great (yeah my 4cyl is speed density)

If possible get the VAM and puter from a 87/88 turbo coupe (LA3/LB3). You "can" put the turbo on the n/a car and go for now. You would have to :
1. Drill a hole in either the block or pan fopr the oil return line.
2. Fab an oil feed line for the turbo.
3 Get a Gillis Boost control valve and set it NO HIGHER than 6 or 8 pounds boost.
4 Install an AFPR.
Head on over to www.turboford.net
There are a heck of a lot of guys over there with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the turbo 2.3's...

i have an svo full motor just need turbo and turbo manifold

well and vam and puter

well my question is what does VAM mean ? i know MAF mass air flow
guessing its something a little more turbo specific and will check out that board have signed up just need to look around on there for the info i need

[BDBYS59]

VAM= Vane Air Meter. and it is 2.3t specific. You will want the VAM out of either a 87/88 TC or 86 SVO (it is the large VAM) also depending on which year SVO motor you have, you will want an "E-6" exhaust manifold, and the 36# injectors (commonly called "brown tops"). to do the wiring changes the only plug yo uneed to find will be for the VAM, the rest is VERY EASY if the car is a 87-89 mustang, later years require a tad bit more work..

haha yeah mine is a 90 ... any ideas where i can pick up the ecu and large vam?(and harness?)

[BDBYS59]

Try turboford,, the harness is found on any turbo ford car. The large VAM is found on 87/88 turbocoupes and 85/86 SVO's. As for the puter,, like I said the best and easiest is from an 87/88 turbo coupe..

Nice,, lots of folks convert those to late model style draw-through with fuel injection..
