    1990 Mustang 2.3 Charging Problems

    Check the Alt, and batt at a shop. (Most of the chain stores will do it for free). It is easy, when fooling with these things trying to work out a problem, to end up frying one or both of them. On your car the regulator should be built into the alternator, but might be servicable seperately...

    2.3 n/a conversion problems

    you say you have no idea where it is coming from, but you know that its only leaking under boost? Cracked feed lines are common, particularly on the Head side of the line.

    Taillight assembly

    i swapped to the same lights (but w/o the cobra/svo stripes) i just left the old black goo on there and they have been fine that way for about 4 years now! but you can probably buy the same kind of stuff (i guess its like weatherstrip adhesive?) at pepboys... i think its use for windshield...

    Heater Core

    you gotta unbolt the whole box and take it out. then undo the screws on the top of the box and take off the cover. pull out the old core, drop in the new core and put everything back together. I recently did all this when adding a/c to my 89 coupe. I would guess that over the course of...

    Solenoid

    hey 351W, i finally got my project running right. I ran the stock BCS for a while and as you mention got some spikes and other silliness (usually would spike up to 15 then settle down at 10, give or take) ... switched to a gillis and the boost control is great but seems like it spools slightly...

    Gutting My Cat Got My Power Back!!

    Also may want to consider doing only the front cat if your state (or province i guess) has strict emissions testing. I just got done putting my 89 corolla through emissions in MD and it had failed twice. When I took off the cat (original stock cat) it was totally hollow inside, nothing left at...

    question about a connector, anyone know what its for?

    Hey, got a question for you guys... i got an 89 2.3 stang that i swapped to a 2.3 turbo, and its got a mystery connector that looks just like the spout you pull out to set your timing (i am guessing the 5.0's had this too). Up by the battery, in the upper left corner of the engine compartment...

    question about Gauge faces, tach TC vs. Stang

    Hi, just finished installing a set of white face gauges with the 140 mph speedo (87-89 mustang GT kit) in my 89 stang (formerly 2.3 NA, now turbo). My question is that i noticed on the stang gauge it ranges from 0 - 6k rpm ... on the new gauge it goes from 0 - 7k rpm, redline on the tbird gauge...

    Basic Turbocharger question

    Interesting question, never really thought about it myself... but i would suspect that the turbo does indeed spin all the time, but doesnt create boost until it reaches it's "spool up" speed. It would almost have to, if it did not spin at all that would be a major restriction in both the intake...

    Need help for the newbie

    coming from the TFI module on the distributor there is a harness with like 4 or 5 wires... about 2 or 3 inches out there is a little two wire connector that just hangs there... the spout is the piece that connects into that. just grab it and pull and it will come out.

    93 2.3 vs 86 TC2.3T sensors

    they should work just fine... the only one that comes to mind is the 93 TPS wont fit the 86 throttlebody. if you have a question about a particular one that would be easier to answer, but for the most part the sensors are the same on the two of them.
