    Lowering springs for the 2.3

    Factory struts on mine. But using Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates to realign supension as a result of the springs install. The "thing" (rear window louvers) on my rear window I got ages ago, is made of aluminum and no longer available anywhere.

    Lowering springs for the 2.3

    I haven't checked my post in a while, but see that you got the EibachProkit springs as well. Yes, the wheels and tires are TRX. Only place to get the tires now is Coker Tires which makes "antique" tires and they are quite expensive. Looking for your post with pics to see how your car turned out.

    1984 Gt Turbo Wont Start

    I would make sure that your timing belt has not slipped. I had a similar issue one time where my timing belt had slipped a few notchs somehow and I could not get my engine to start, although at times it appeared to almost fire up.

    Are you 2.3 owners still here?

    I'm still around and check this forum periodically. I have my car in the garage and under a cover also like someone else that posted. I have tons of parts in storage that I will put on the car eventually but alas do not have the time right now. Good to see at least a few posting. The other...

    Methanol Injection

    I actually have the Stage 1 Snow Performance system in my carb turbo. Although I do run a carb setup, I've read the installation instructions for the EFI setup and it does'nt appear too difficult to install the injector in your model Stang. Meth/water injection really helps if you want to...

    Does the '81 Ford Shop Manual include turbo?

    I dont know about the '81 Ford Shop Manual, but I bought a set of '79 Ford Shop Manuals off Ebay last year, and yes the Turbo configuration/spec was in there. So I'm assuming that the '81 shop manuals would also cover the turbo.

    Rebuilt Carb

    Hey, been like forever since I posted. Anyways, finally took a couple of suggestions I got here long ago for my carb turbo. I took my carb into the shop for a rebuild and had them up the primary jet one size and the secondary two sizes. I can now run my boost at 14psi with no evidence of...

    BOV question

    A blow off valve is needed vent excess boost pressure to the atmosphere when changing gears, etc. What I am wondering is for the adjustable BOV's what psi would I adjust it to if I were running 15lbs of boost? Would I adjust it to 14, 15, 16 lbs?

    Diff

    Stinger, first let me say I respect the hell out of you. But where the hell did you come up with that quote up above. I bought my carb turbo new, and yes its WAS a one legger with 135hp, but I could smoke that one leg at will. Just wondering if you knew that. And now that I have my tracloc...

    T5's created equal?

    I looked in the stickys' for this info but the darn search engine says T5 and transmissions are "common words" and wont search. I know by now that the input shaft and bell housing on the 4-cyl models was different from the V8's. But are all T5 the same physically? Can you take any T5...

    Lowering Springs for a 4 cyl.

    I lowered my car with the Eibach ProKit springs. Even so, I STILL have to watch myself around speed bumps. With Sportlines, I could only drive the car around speed bumps.

    Carb'd turbo ideas

    There are not many people on here on the 2.3L forum that have a carb turbo setup. I am one of about four or five that I know of. There is nothing wrong with putting together a carb turbo setup. If you want to squeeze the maximum amount of horsepower, than the computer controlled fuel...
