    Experts needed: Turbo swap on '93

    Hey guys, I did my swap last summer and haven't been able to get the car running. :( I finally have the time to look into it. I used Stinger's website but I noticed that my wire colors were very different so I used my Ford wiring diagrams to figure out which wires were what. I have triple...

    What compression are these pistons (pic)

    Hey, I just took the heads off the car and I know the engine has been rebuilt before I got the car. I was just wondering if anyone knows around what compression ratio those pistons are giving me. I have stock heads on it also. Thanks, Mike

    No compression...Valve Seal or Piston ring

    Hey guys, my number 4 cyl has decided it no longer wants to work. I did a compression test and got between 188 and 200 (btw...isn't that a bit high?)for all of my cylinders except number 4. It had a big fat 0. I have been having a problem lately with the intake rocker on that cylinder in...

    TC front brakes in Stang?

    Hey real quick, would it be an upgrade to put the '88 TC front brakes into my '93 mustang? Are they the same as the 5.0? Do I just need the calipers, rotors, brake lines and spindle? I am getting rid of the donor car in the morning so I need to know quick. Thanks :)

    Which Clutch Should I get????

    Hey guys, now that I got my tranny I need to purchase a clutch. I am not sure if I should get a stock replacement or what. I would like one that could hold more power I suppose, but I don't what a real stiff one. My King Cobra in my 5.0 is a real b**** in traffic. I have actually had to pull...

    Pedal Assembly...what years can I use

    Hey, one more of my many questions. I need the pedal assemble for my T5 swap and the ones on Ebay are just going for too much right now ($70-90 plus shipping). :notnice: I found this great junkyard (as mentioned in my tranny thread in Talk) and now i might just go there and get it. I was...

    Sweet deal on tranny

    Man, I got a great deal on a tranny today. First off I gotta say how GAY my junkyards are here in lakeland. I went around to 3 of them looking for a 4 cyl tranny from a mustang (not even the better TC one). One quoted $400, another $200 but it was in another city, and the last $450. I told...

    2.3T Swap...extending fuel lines

    Hey guys, I had posted something about this before and everyone keeps telling me that the fuel lines to the stang will bolt right up to the fuel rail from the stang. But this is not the case on my car. They are about 2 inches apart. :bang: I checked the fuel rails and the mustang one is...
