    Merkur Turbo PSI

    No, how did you get that from what I said? :) See the part where I said "Depending on mods..." ? Just giving you a hard time. I always had good luck with 15-16 psi, and around 13 degrees of timing with 92/93 octane and no intercooler in the last "stock" car I had. Probably could have done...

    About to be a member of the KC Turbo Club! (hopefully)

    Kinda wish I still lived a little closer. There are quite a few fast 2.3's around KC.

    Merkur Turbo PSI

    What do you mean by "makes"? Depending on mods, elevation, etc you could run it up to around 25 psi, but I wouldn't go past maybe 22. You start heating up the air som much that you aren't gaining anything. One of the local guys had been runnin 25+ on the gauge up here at "high" elevation...

    65mm throttle body problem with the tps

    Sure they won't tell you to keep a stocker, they want to sell you a new one. Fictional? Your calling 67King (Harry) fictional LOL You guys believe what you want. It's you money, I think it could be spent more wisely for most people though. There is the real world, there is the...

    good deal?

    If it's in OK shape, then yes. You could probably talk them down.

    65mm throttle body problem with the tps

    Don't you think the throttle blade is taken into account when sizing? Get this through your head. BIGGER is not BETTER. Why not put a 100+mm TB on your 2.3? One thing you do want to do is limit tha amount of times your intake system changes sizes. Hey if guys don't want to "listen" to...

    65mm throttle body problem with the tps

    That's a very narrow definition. Among many other qualifiers, it also includes any "mod" that doesn't actually give you what you think you are getting. The stock throttle body IS NOT a restriction. How is it that you can't get it? It dpesn't matter how many times you say it, it just isn't...

    If an import owner did the same you guys would be jumping all over him/her for being a ricer.

    Sound

    Let me repeat, HUH? In any case, as was said, no. Are we talking exhaust noise? Turbo whine/whistle? If you want a loud rumble, you can certainly make a 2.3 loud, but won't ever sound like a V8. YOu might fool a lot of people, but it's still just different. Kinda like the...

    good deal?

    It's a good deal. Have you seen the car? Even if it was a complete pile of dog doo, you've got more than $500 in parts if you have the space/time.

    I really need you guys help on this one

    If you haven't done it recently, I would change the filter anyway. It only takes a few minutes and a few bucks. Probably not what your problem is, but simple maintenance saves a whole lot of future head aches. Good luck!

    65mm throttle body problem with the tps

    Can ANY of you explain to me why you think a 2.3L engine (especially basically stock) needs a larger throttle body? Did you even bother to the link I posted? You really want to say that a FORD engineer who is doing TB sizing for some upcoming programs is wrong?

    Are you positive you got the right injectors?

    65mm throttle body problem with the tps

    Well if you guys just want to stroke each other and not actually learn why something does or does not "work", no skin off my sack. http://www.turboford.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=035508

    65mm throttle body problem with the tps

    So if someone asked "how do I out square wheels/tires on my car" you would tell them how and not that it isn't going to help anything? Don't you guys want any REAL tech around here? Not just "where can I buy stickers and who can I have install them"? not to mention if you can't figure...

    Dr_elusives Swap Question and Progress Thread V 2.0

    In what minority? Who is everyone else? I don't think I have seen anyone else pipe up who has actually done enough of this stuff to know. Mostly just "bigger is better" people. It's quite obvious that you guys assume whoever yells the loudest/most/last MUST be right. What a sad way to go...

    How much can you see through a good Catalytic Converter?

    I think you talked to a total moron. :) On a turbo car, it will react exactly opposite of what you are saying. N/A is a different story.
