Turbo in n/a 2.3?

pxcr_600 · 06-17-2002, 02:56 AM

Hey guys i was wondering something. What would i need to do to put a turbo off of a SVO or a TB Turbo coupe on one of my regular 2.3L stangs? I know i can get the turbo but do i need intake or anything? I know i should just get the whole motor or buy an SVO. But i have no money for that and i just want to try out this turbo thing. I have a 5.0 waiting paciently for the ol' 4 banger to blow. If someone were to put the Turbo and intercooler on, would the stang last long? The engine that is? I have an AOD out of an LX 5.0 to put in.

Thanks for your time!

you'll need the intake, exhaust manifold, the turbo, bigger injectoers(T/C one won't work on your motor), the ducting, and maybe some other stuff I can't rememeber

However you won't have forged pistons or a forged crank like the T/C's have. I've not sure how long it will last at even stock boost level if it's run hard.

BTW, a AOD won't bolt up to the 2.3
