http://www.siouxfallsracing.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=26400 Pretty sweet deal. It's the 1973 2.3T Pinto that was featured in Sport Compact Car a while ago.

Just something I put together when I was bored. I tried to get as many people into the video as I could. Most of it is probably stuff you guys have already seen, but I think it came out pretty good. 6.7 MB Right click Save As

On the 1985 Merkur I was looking at buying there were a few trouble spots. Let me know if it's still worth it. I found a visible gap between the turbocharger and exhaust manifold, and there was no gasket. Hot exhaust leaked from it obviously, and it made it very noisy. But according to...

I got on and IM'ed this guy I know tyler, and he has a 1990 vert with 2.3T swap and 5-speed. He posts as tvinson86 on here every once in awhile. It sounds like his car had a gillis valve already on it. Check this out... :D FoxMustang02: sumerduck....sumerduck... Chawbacon666: ok...

Ok, so it's not a 2.3, but it is a turbo. Besides, I'd rather trust you guy's word than the jack offs over on srtforums. :nonono: Anyway, I recently put a blow off valve on my SRT-4, and I noticed it now can build 5 PSI in neutral, even at a dead stop. It never did this before I put...

From a couple weeks ago, but I just thought I'd share them. Quality kinda sucks, but they are cool looking pictures. :nice:

Ok, first off, me, my mom, dad, and little sister go to a car show and madison and we take my mom's fully restored '64 1/2 Convertible with 260 V8 and automatic trans. (restored about 2 years ago) So the car made it to the car show fine. I did have to put in some more automatic transmission...

What's the total amount of money you've invested in four banger? I was having a performance/per dollar argument with a friend, so I redirected him to your site. :D

What exactly is the difference between a 5-speed and automatic '87 Turbocoupe? I noticed the hp rating for the auto is 150 and the 5-speed is 190. Is there any actual engine, rear end, or computer differences? I would figure there would be some minor differences, but ultimately I just...

Retarding the timing makes detonation worse, right?

There was tons of neat stuff there. We saw the new ’05, concept and production cars, the new GT, the new V-10 Shelby Cobra, and a few other concepts up there. There was R models, Shelbys, 429s, and a slew of other rare cars up there. And of course parts and vendors galore. Unfortunately...

I'm going to be swapping out my stock IC on the SRT-4 soon for a larger aftermarket one. (40* drop in inlet temp, 20 more whp!) I'm gonna sell the stock one to Tvinson86 or Kool-Aid4cyl. It's actually a VERY good stock IC, (deffinately better than the stock Turbo Coupe one) and it would look...

Video of the motor, interior, exterior, start up and rev. Looks and sounds sweet! :nice: 3.84 MB Right Click Save As mirror link: Right Click Save As

Ok so obviously boost pressure is positive pressure in the intake manifold. But my question is, since exhaust gas is always flowing through the exhaust manifold and turbine side of the turbo, (which in turn turns the compressor side of the turbo) does that mean the compressor wheel is spinning...

I can't register because I use an AOL e-mail account? That's BS. :nonono: Why are they so uptight about everything on there? How do they expect to get any members when they don't let anyone JOIN? :bang:

Do I have to put the #1 cylinder at top dead center when I remove the head? I don't have a socket big enough to turn the crank, so I was wondering if I really needed to?

Took off my intake today (not the manifold, the intake that connects to the TB) and I found the inside of the big Ford box thing is really small. Would it be benificial to dremel out this thing? Or would I just lose torque by doing this? I also found this weird ass metal wire that spirals...

EDIT: here's a temporary link for the vid. It's an angelfire account, so it probably won't last long. RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS Pretty cool video my friend and I made tonight. Just driving the cars down the road behind my house. First part is with the muffler-less '89 2.3, shows the...

So who's going? I'm going, not sure what car we'll take, or if we'll even put it in the show. Should be fun though. Remember all the Merker's that were there last year? And SVOCA says they are going to have the biggest turnout this year ever. Damn weather better be nicer this year though...

Well last night the '96 GT was totalled. You can see the whole thread w/ pics here. I'm really tore up about it, I loved that car with all my heart. Well as they say...easy come, easy go. :nonono: Inspired by the death of my old '96 GT, I set to work on the black '89 LX. I cleaned the...
