I'm so happy, I'm getting a TC! I know it's not a stang, but it's still a 2.3T Trying to sell my old vert (I can't afford 2 cars) A black 1987 Thunderbird TurboCoupe 5 speed will be in my possession this weekend! Woot! Any suggestions on the first cheap/free mods to do would be...

Allright, when you swap out your front brakes for the 5.0 swap, and all that good stuff, is it at all easy to swap the rear drums out for the old front discs that were just removed?

Okay, I've been having trouble after trouble trying to get my EGR to work, so I was just wondering somethign.... Could I just delete it and get it over with? I'm lucky enough to live in a place that doesn't have emissions tests to worry about, so I was thinking that I could just snip off the...

I heard that one of the standard upgrades for a 2.3 is to use a ranger header instead of the cast iron manifold. On that, is it just a stock ranger header? And what year should I pull it from to bolt onto a 93 n/a dual plug 2.3? Would it bolt right onto my existing exhaust system?

Righto. I just swapped in that fabbed CAI box that I was asking about earlier. Made it out of some sheet aluminum. Cost a total of 10 bucks at Home Depot, I'll post photos when I get them, I think it looks real nice. After I put it in, the Check Engine light would come on intermittantly...

Righto, my cat-back is shot. It's being held on the cat with a clothes hanger, there's as much air blowing out the front of the muffler as the back, and the axle rubs the pipe every time my shocks depress. I'm sounding like a bloody ricer, and I'm not getting near the milage I should be...

please delete Double post, my apologies

I've seen quite a bit on everything you need for the 2.3T swap, but I just would like to know... How hard is it? I'm not the best mechanic, but I rather well can get by. (If I take it apart, I can easily put it back together, and learn quite a bit in the process) If I were to aquire the...

Allright, I wanted to put a CAI in my stang, but I don't have that much money, and I don't too much like the idea of a filter in my fender wall, because it would be rather hard to get at to replace it (I think), and I want to be different. What I was thinking of doing was keeping the MAF in...

Well, the whole trouble that I had for quite a while about my O/D not working, it is finally fixed! Turns out it was my speed sensor that was going nuts, and nothing having to do with my transmission. I should have figured that, with how my cruise control didn't work either. It's...

Righto, while my mustang was in the shop, they messed it up or something... The exhaust system is really wacked out now. Whenever I go over a bump, the axle rubs on the exhaust pipe. Evidently this was happening with the previous driver because there was already a spot where the pipe was...

Allright. For the longest time my car had been giving me problems with the overdrive. And it still is. I have, though figured out with relative certainty what's the problem. You see, I took it into a shop last week, and they ended up telling me that it's not the transmission it'self, but...

I was wondering if anybody has ever installed one of those aftermarket instant MPG meters. Is it at all difficult? Is there a certain type you'd reccomend? I was just thinking that that would be awesome for improving my driving habits to better get good milage.

Will the SVO intake manifold bolt directly onto the N/A 2.3? I found where I can get ahold of one cheap, and I want to know if I should buy it. And it will give me a bit of extra horsepower, right?

Does anybody have in their possession or know where to easily get a computer for a 1993 2.3 N/A LX with an A4LD Tranny? Or any computer that would do the trick. You see, my transmission won't shift into 4th gear, and I was about to get a $1000 job to get it fixed, but some earlier trouble...

Righto, is there a heavy duty auto tranny for the 2.3 in existance? I've heard so much against the A4LD, and I also heard that it can't really handle that much power being channeled through it. If I ever end up getting the 2.3T swapped in, I was wondering if there was an auto tranny in...

Righto, I was wondering if it would be easy to run a turbo engine as an N/A. Basically, I found an 88 TC in the junkyard, and if the compression tests run right, I might pick it up. Only, it doesn't have a turbo or the IC or anything. I was wondering if I could pull my 93 N/A engine, and swap...

Do they make an automatic transmission for the 5.0 that'll handle up to 500 horses or so? I know that the stock auto, the A4LD can't handle much at all, and I was hoping that there was something I could run other than a manual to channel a lot of ponies. Please, don't answer if you're only...

Firstoff, am I correct in assuming that the metal piece inbetween the air box and the air silencer is the MAF? And if I am, there was something I noticed about it when I was gutting my silencer... The MAF is now the choke point on my intake, as it narrows to about a 1 inch opening. I've got...

Righto, every once in a while when I start the car up, the check engine light comes on. During that time, it feels a bit sluggish, not too much. Usually it only stays on for about 5 minutes, but I've had it stay on for a half hour once, while still feeling sluggish and like the engine was...
