Ok I apologize in advance for this but I just turned 19 yesterday I'm sick of waiting to find a turbo motor... ...I've searched every junkyard around, autotrader.ca, and even ebay (some guy wanted $800 US plus shipping and he didn't even know whether it ran or not)
I have spent the last two years studing up on Mustangs, especially the 2.3N/A and 2.3T. My question is I want to use my existing block from my 91 but I've heard the dual spark head is useless for this. I wanted to rebuild my block anyways so should I get an 87-89 block with a single spark head? tap a hole in the oil pan for the turbo oil return line. Now if I find a turbo comp I have to change the MAF to VAM and I think the MAP to I can't remember what it's called. But if I can't find a turbo comp, can I run 5.0 MAF and get an EEC tuner or a chip?
The other thing is I was gonna do is get the stock forged kit for the 2.3T. From what I've studied I've found that the pistons and rods are the same size crankshaft bearings are slightly different. So if I bearing match the crank I should be okay right? Oh yeah what about the compression I think the N/A is 9:5:1 or 9:0:1 and the Turbo is 8:0:1. Would using dish pistons fix this? or do I have to deck the head or block?
I would greatly appreciate any help guys
Thanks
