does anyone know how to put a turbo on a 2.3?
Hey Bill can you help out the new guy? I can't seem to find the post where you explain this process in detail. I know it was here somewhere ;D
Look under the "Faq' board on this forum.
there is so much Turbo info around...
TurboFord.org
TheRangerStation.com
Get ready for some major attitude when you start asking advise from the other turbo guys, We all have our own ways of doing things.

Ditto on the TURBOFORD.ORG but I would learn how to do internet searches.....Otherwise you are done, son..... :welcome: Not being an assh*le........Just start with a good running Pinto than add a good running Turbocoupe...NOT A SVO !!!!! (yes some of us still like the car that almost KILLED the V-8 in 1984).....Get ride of the 2500 lbs of steel and shake well, presto a turbo pinto.....NOT!!!!!
Putting a turbo on a 2.3 is easy but you dont want to do it to a N/A engine.

Dont listen to him ^^^ if you tear down any of those cars other then a TC or Merkur I belive you will probably get shot. Especially the RS Capri. Also dont waste your time looking for the 87-88 TC, there wiring harness are very hard to work with. 83-86 are the years you want or 85-89 Merkur XR4Ti.
The hard way would be to tear down your N/A engine and put in the turbo internals. Then add the injectors and fuel pump to match. You can also save some money and get a Mustang wiring harness and do some repining of the eec. When you have decided which route you are taking I am sure we can help you step by step. PM me or there is a kinda how to on here already by Bill. He is very helpful.
Second Amendment! ;D
I hope I didnt seem rude to you. I was just saying those cars are so rare it would be a shame to have one tore apart. Nobody likes the Tcoupe and the Merkurs are so different most end up at the junk yards. I just ripped a Tcoupe apart yesterday to get the Capri rollin and I bought the car for $200 running.
