2.3 carbed turbo blow thru 2bbl
amc49:
Blow thru and 'on a budget' are two diametrically opposed things........ ........you're only making it harder.

when I first swapped my red pinto I did the swap to fuel injected turbo 5sp complete for less than 500 bucks....I had a whole car to pluck parts from....
HiPopinto:
You may want to go over to Turbo Ford.org and check out Joe Laramee
He has 2 pintos both are blow through turbo 4 cylinders
His "street" car is running 9 second quarters
His "race" car is running low 8's
It is a cool page as well
If I were doing this I would find an EFI Turbo engine and bolt the proper Carb stuff to it
The EFI engine has forged internals and is already a very tough engine
Good luck

that is what I am currently trying to build have a 85-86 tc motor, and going to use the head off my 78 wagon and the intake and exhaust off the 79 2.3t mustang. its been a slow process due to funds and time right now but just gathering all the parts is half the fun!! just picked up a roller cam for my head a week ago!!
good luck with your build!!!

Then why start with a carburetor now? I would (or would have in 2012 when this thread started) get an MS-I v2.2 kit for ~$150 and go with a blow-through TBI setup on the stock (or similar) intake. I might do that myself with an MSII v3.0 just because I already have the ECU.
A new fuel pump is going to be necessary either way and, IMO, EFI does everything a carburetor can, only a lot better. You ought to have a wideband O2 sensor for tuning regardless of the induction, so factor in $200 for that whether you use a carb or EFI.
