quicky mods..?
ok here is one i bet alot of 2.3's are thinking.. fast quick mods.. well i did some thinking and looking around, and basikly for as much as you could waste on intake and exhaust you can prolly get a complete turbo setup off one of the 2.3t engines at a junk yard.. i have seen at least 2 or 3 at every yard i have went to. so this is my project i am hoping to make it quick and easy i will keep updates and cost so every one doesn't have to be in te dark on the same subjet.
lets see how it goes and maybe even pics too...

for the money, swap is better. parts cars can be like 500 dollars. recondition everything and it will get expensive, but it will be better prepared. don't get yourself in for something you dont have the means to fund or care for later. good rule of thumb here is as follows
fast, cheap, reliable
pick two

ok well if you want to the bear(sp) minimum for an svo turbo coupe swap is just the motor and some other wires....that it...but i mean thats if you just want to more power for everyday use...i mean if it was me i would swap the back axle out for an 8.8 which is a direct replacement...i would change the trans if you plan on putting a lot of power through it and well thats about it...
