2.3 turbo intake question
when i rotate my upper intake will i still be able to run a stock hood or will i not have enough clearance?

RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
it will fit under the hood, but the rotated intake may cause clearance issues with the alternator so you may have to modify the bracket (i think) or rotate the intake even more.

RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
yes, often people run a 120* rotation instead of 90*

i can get the later model ranger passenger side alternator mount to move the alternator can't i (no ac)

RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
if you have no a/c, you can do that then. Ive seen it done a few times.

RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
Hi guys, i'm from Australia but i got hold of one of these motors which i think you are talking about. Mine is out of a 85 thunderbird turbo coupe, its a 2.3L efi turbo. And im having trouble fitting it in and i might need to move the alternator. So this bracket you guys are talking about to move it onto the otherside of the motor. Would it fit on my motor and work, and what car is it out of and year model and do i just need the bracket?
Thanks heaps, Aaron |
RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
dont really know
but you have a mk1 escort? |
RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
Yeah its a 72 mk1 2 door. And I imported the thunderbird out here to get the motor out of to use. Its a very tight fit but its in there now. Just gotta finish hooking up.

RE: 2.3 turbo intake question
when using a front mount intercooler, a rotated intake will save quite a few bends in intercooler piping which will make it flow better. it also protects intercooled air from the heat generated by the turbo and exhaust because you dont have to route it all the way back around to the throttle body
