    Q->Mustang & T-bird T5 trannys...?

    What are the ratios for an 87-88 T-bird turbocoupe T5 tranny? Is the tranny the same for the same vintage(s) 4-banger Mustangs? The ID tags read different, but with Borg&Warner, that dosent mean the tranny is any different. I have the 1st ratio at 3.97:1 and the 5th ratio is something...

    The difference when it comes to pan types is with the pickup tube/sump which will interchange.

    oil pump shopping...dear Abbey

    I'd like to see that way too, but the oil pan is a standard size and usually if you run a hi-vol pump you also add a deep sump or side pouch pan...I'd hope Ford would think of that too or owners could have problems. As far as hi-pressure goes, there are pumps available for the 2.3...if the...

    oil pump shopping...dear Abbey

    So there I was shopping for an oil pump. I tried new and re-man units, from Ford, jobbers and even Canadian Tire. There seems to be a depleated number of manufacturers/re-manufacturers of oil pumps for turbo blocks. Am I right to assume the 84 and 87-88 engines carry the same pump...I don't...

    Siezed lug nuts?

    If that were the case than any nut/bolt you put anti-seize on is at risk. I think it's an amazing invention, like duct tape...the world would be the same without it :)! I've never had a problem, infact the wheel nuts on my car are a bit harder to spin after the never-seize has been on for a...

    VAM diagram??

    Ive found a book from Motorbooks called 'How to tune and modify FORD FUEL INJECTION' (ISBN # 0-7603-0503-X) to be excellent in explaining how all aspects of the various types of systems Ford used (EEC III, EEC IV, OBD & OBD2) What you found was a 'Vane Air Temp' (VAT). The VAT and a common...

    Siezed lug nuts?

    Let this be a lesson... :nono: use 'never seize' and properly torque your nuts! :rlaugh: As far as leverage is concerned...a good 'bar of justice' works on just about anything and should be valuable addition to every car nuts tool list! :nice:

    how should I mount my volvo intercooler?

    The science of it is... When you are running 160-190 MPH there is a sht load of air getting packed through that 4x2 inch opening. Also, when you are running 160-190 MPH you want all the downforce you can get on the front wheels, that wall comes up really fast when you develop a push!

    HOW TO MOUNT BOV/BPV ON 87 TURBOCOUPE

    when installing a BPV do you have to add a hard pipe inplace of the FoMoCo accordian rubber pipe form the vane meter to the turbo inlet for the bypass to connect to? if no, where do you connect the BPVs other end?

    how do you........

    I believe the www.tinyavenger.com kit is just an adapter plate and all you have to do is buy the 94-98 T/B and change the TPSensor, so the systems arent very different. Now I saw on ebay a T/B for sale from a 90 Tbird SuperCoupe and the seller said that two of the holes needed slight...
