ok guys this is what i need to know i have a 84 mustang GT Turbo and i want to convert to the 85.5 svo specs so what is involved in doing this i know a intercooler is needed and a computer but that is all i know but i dont know what ones i need do they have to come from a svo ? or can i use parts from a tc and can i convert my car to a mass-air system like the 5.0 cars can? please help thanks
The upgrade your speaking of is somewhat simple. The exact specs on the 84GT have slipped from my mind but ill give you what i know The differences = 35lb injectors aka brown tops (you have 30lb green tops) -Found on 86-88 turbocoupes and 86-89 xr4ti's VAM-air meter, you have a small vam, they have a big vam. -Found on 87-88 Turbocoupes and all SVO's Intake(?) If you have the upper/lower Inline intake, the later model svo's came with the "square" intakes. -You dont have to "upgrade" this in perticular Computer The better svo's came with the PE's series computer,the good turbocoupes came with LA/LB series computers. -You will need a PE/LA/LB series computer to correctly run the BIG VAM and 35lb (brown tops) injectors. Fuel pump The svo's also came with two fuel pumps (intank + inline). -You dont have to go with the inline setup, just put a decent 255lph in the tank and your good. Camshaft The Svo's came with a hotter cam profile. -Stick with what you have until you've done the above, id suggest going with something aftermarket if you go through the trouble. Intercooler Stock mount wont work well for you. -Go with a front mount intercooler (better), for a mild(stockish)build, i recomend the Volvo intercooler(cheap and good). Thats about it that i can remember. Most of this stuff can be had pretty cheap used (i wouldnt buy the fuel pump used!!! )
