I am thinking about a 2.3t swap and was just wondering how much power a 2.3t has, because NA 2.3 are just dogs thanks for the help
Depends on what you want to do with it ... after dropping it in, they have in the area of 180-200 HP. With all of the mods you can do, there's a number of 300 and I think even a 400 HP 2.3T running around Stangnet.
Well actually, to clarify....early non-intercooled models were usually around 160 stock, later intercooled engines were rated at 190. Course, with a boost controller, cold air intake, and 3" exhaust, you can easily bring those numbers up to 220-230 hp, possibly even more.
Cold air? where can I buy one of them cause i havent been abel to find a place that sells cold air intakes for 2.3's
you cant buy a "direct" CAI , you just hafta fab one up, very simple..believe there may be a "how to" floating around here if you cant figure it out.
Yeah you can't buy one. You can make your own, or modify a cold air kit from another car. I kinda made mine, put two intake tubes together end to end and made a bracket to hold the VAM. Works pretty good.
