the 2.3 tempo's were fwd also, maybe some donor parts from one of those and a tranny would help make the sap easier. i dont think the tempo tranny would hold up to a turbo though. just buy a XR4ti. they look better than an escort i think and are way more unique.

From what i can understand (not much), this guy is telling you to swap in a 5.0. obviously he has no knowledge on these 2.3 motors and he has no clue what he is talking about. a STOCK 2.3T will easiely keep up with a V8 and leave some in the dust. here are some good reasons to stay 2.3: 1. it...

sweet... thanks alot glow. very much appreciated. ill stop by there after work tomorrow.

5.0 swap :notnice: why not go for gold and go turbo. this might help you change your mind. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=558096

:nice: good run bro...left that guy in the dust. what did he run? i wasnt able to see.

whats a thang? :D

wal-mart sells a ford mirror? are you sure the one you had wasnt already replaced with an aftermarket one? well i guess its worth a try. thanks guys.

i would like the stock replacment, i guess ill keep and eye out on ebay.

got real hot here today and it fell off and cracked on impact. i live in oregon. please help me.

:lol: Dibs.

Its' a 89'. i have 17x8's on the front with 245/45's. with just a little bit of the fender cut off and a couple swings with a hammer i am 100% rub free. lock to lock the tires come about 1-2 centimeters from the shocks. we'll see what happens when i install my eibach pro's though. ANYONE running...

Is that why my 275/40/17's look about the same profile as my 245/45/17's? That's weird, good to know, i never knew that. I've got a girl tellin' me about cars :bang: will you mary me??? :p

not sure about the 245's in the rear. i have 275's out back and i had to roll the feder lip quite a bit. as for up front, i've got 245's up front and i just hade to cut off a very small peice of plastic of the fender or inner feder well ( not sure, but you'll see where they might rub when you...

and also give time to let the gasket maker dry all the way when you are done installing it. i prefer just using some hi-temp black rtv silicon if your trying to make a gasket where your parts get that hot. but im sure the blue gasket maker is great too. also use it on both sides of the new...

i dont think 205/60/15 tires vs. 225/60/15 tires would make your speedo read ANY different, as 205 and 225 are just refering to the width of the tire. the only thing that would change it would be the profile of the tire and the size rim you are running. 225 refers to the width, 60 refers to the...

how the hell did you blow a hole (that big) in a oil pan? i've ran over curbs and boulders in my 2.3 and they just left a few scratches.

if your driving your car with a clogged cat (very clogged), you are liable to blow a head gasket.

part #? what application did you buy it for?

i was going to buy a header from Dan P. about a month ago, but was too slow to act. i have been, literally, looking for a long tube for over a year now. I noticed you dont have a reserve set, and you just posted it today. is it too late to offer you some cash, or do i have to just watch it for...

140's right. once you sit in the drivers seat of the 2.3t, you wont go back. the pull of the turbo and sound of it spooling up is very addicting. and who wants to drive around a motor that sucks up 3X more fuel and is slower? plus the turbo swap is 99% easier and 99% cheaper.
