lol my friends are dumb

i tell them i may consider upgrading my 2.3 to a turbo 2.3, they call me stupid for not living up to the muscle legacy, one of my friends thinks it should be illegal to put 4bangers in a mustang. I tell him i want a cool car and the 30 mpg is really nice. He's like "well if you want a car good on gas, get a honda" well i like the mustang not a honda.

Well i would like to get a 5.0, but i will driving the 2.3 for a while and will like the gas mileage and then i get a 5.0 and it will chug gas like no tomorrow.

I cant wait until i get a 2.3 turbo, and a stick.
Its at the bottom of the line now, NA2.3 and auto tranny. It may be slow now, but my friends will see whats in store for them.

So post some of your first thought when you went from a NA to turbo motor.
Whats the feel of it like? does it sound more agressive?

hmmmmm ask them what is under the hood of an SVO you will be suprised how manu 5.0 guys will say it is a V-8 LOL. They recognize the power of the car and assume that it has larger displacement.

Get the last laugh by smoking 5.0's at 12psi.

Whoooooooooooooosh!

does a stock 2.3t outrun a 5.0?
if it doesnt, how much modification must be done for it to outrun a 5.0?

You care too much about what people think. Stop giving so much of a crap and just do your own thing, as long as you're not a dumbass about it.

agreed... build the car because its what YOU want not to impress the friends. If the friends are impressed in the process then thats fine.

Dont be a Dick........Dont be a Ricer!!!!!!

I am out running 5.0's with $30 worth of mods.

I turbo'ed and Manualed my 4cyl stang, I love it to death. It is a really basic setup (85 tc turbo, non IC, Computer, Small VAM, 9psi, ranger roller cam). it is so much more fun now. I am still working on all of the fine tuning, but it is so worth it. I especially like when I hear the turbo spooling up at around 10HG, that whine is like adrenalin coursing through my veins. The exhaust note when under full boost is entireley different too. This is my first turbo car, and I cannot see going back.

5.0's suck.....Im gonna sell mine and buy 3 2.3t's......teh 2.3t can neva loose

With those times you are right

Now if I could only find the guy who has my turbo motor.....then I could do the ever popular 5.0 to 2.3t swap

I was thinking of doing that very thing! man would i be loved in the 5.0 crowd then

I want a nice turbo'd very streetly mannered Ford V8 of ridiculously large displacement over a 302 - then it would be worth it.

I was told (by a GT owner) I disgraced the 5.0 crowd by stopping the V8 project and doing a 2.3. hehe I pulled probably 10 cars on that guy. The next time I saw him I asked if my 351 car disgraced the 5.0 crowd since it wasn't a factory engine.....no reply. Can someone answer that for me?

Now you must combine your knowledge of both= TT351.....10's for $2800...not bad for a crappy ol v8

You don't have to have a 4cyl or a V8 to make cheap power but you do have to have a turbo (or two )

Amen, boost is your friend.


(well almost everyones friend, minus high compression, cast pistons and ricers )
