Hi, I am in the process of dropping a 85 2.3L Turbo that is stroked and bored to a 2.5 in my 1992 mustang LX with a 4-banger. I have the motor and the turbo and everything I need but I build small/big blocks and have never came across a turbo build. I'm stuck on a few things that or probably really easy but I gotta learn sometimes. Here or the pics followed by my questions. any help would be appreciated.

There is the overview of my setup in the first picture.

In the second picture I have my return oil line that is not pressurized but by the feed. I have this fabricated temp. but does this look ok? I know its long and it does have a loop. Will this WORK?

Third Picture has a couple things im confused about. There is a threaded hole in the side of the block. What goes there? and is the brass fitting on the top right for my oil pressure guage?

Fourth Picture is my upperintake manifold. I cant seem to figure out were these vaccum hoses go. Any ideas? Diagrams?

Fith picture is my o so simple Therm. housing. But were would the 2nd nozzle connect to?

And last but not least the sixth picture is an unknown complonent to me. What is it and how do I hook it up? a picture?


I know these may be pretty ez questions and i feel like a n00b. but first turbo app. planning on dropping in next week. ANY ADVICE WILL BE HELPFUL.

Thanks so much please help

6th picture is a external type wastegate, it regulates maximum boost pressure. the 2 fittings are hooked up to sources of boost/vacuum. research this very important!!! wiki google

youd better have a upgraded fuel pump and regulator for that turbo. also get some normal pictures up. also i think u have a ranger motor there, judging by ac brackets, tensions, and pullies on your motor, also your ps bracket... and the resistor hanging right beside your valve cover which leads me to believe it was coilpacked...
who did u get this motor from? nice turbo on it though.

That drain line wil not work like that you either need a straight fitting on the turbo you gotta readjust it and cut some extra length off. it needs to be straight down or the oil needs to be able to drain freely as it is not pressurized but a drain its thats a turbo block there should be a fitting or hole on that side of the block, and if not it was never turbo just has a turbo valve cover, and header and turbo. i wouldnt be suprised if it has cast pistons.

"The oil outlet should be plumbed to the oil pan above the oil level (for wet sump systems). Since the oil drain is gravity fed, it is important that the oil outlet points downward, and that the drain tube does not become horizontal or go “uphill” at any point."
