so i just got a 1992 2.3L lx

now i know its not the greatest car in the world but it was only 200 and it starts stops and runs.
so i was wondering what would be a good way to start making it run a lil faster?? i already boutgh a K&N air filter and im working on the exhuast but do any of you know of a decent super/turbo system??? now it cant be really expensive i only got about 2000 to work with right now.

thank you anything is apreciated

 

i dont know much about that version of the mustang but i would expect that if you install the factory turbo on there that would give you some more go.. or look for a turbo kit for your car seeing as how a version of it did have a turbo then there should be some kits.. how many miles are on the car... you might also want to start off with a engine rebuild with forged internals to make it ready for a bigger amount of psi from a aftermarket turbo

 

thanks...um its got somewhere around 125,9XX not sure exactly off the top of my head, but it actualy runs really well. any idea where to look for the turbo?? and how much does it cost?? i dont think i want to do all of that to the engine right now id rather just make the car so i can pass another car when i need to. also does anybody have any idea about what kind of gains in terms of HP or Torque that turbo puts out??

 

hey dude if you can stay on here for like another 30 minutes or so i can find out for ya. my room mate works with this race car dude that used the 2.3 block for their race engine.. so he should know some **** about what u have.... but with the milage u have on that car.... if it was me i dont think i would turbo or do any type of forced induction without a rebuild..

 

Check this link. A few guys said it had a lot of info for the 4 bangers..

alright dude the mustang svo was the 2.3l that was turbo. so was the turbo thunderbird and merker xr4ti only the mustangs from 85 to 86 where intercooled and had about 200hp and the blocks to those where stronger than the one u have now. my buddy dave (room mate) suggests that if u really plan on keeping with a 2.3 then get the actual svo motor or get it from one of the above cars for which they are all the same except the svo had the most tuned power rating. even if u dont get the intercooled version the motor put out about 175ish hp.. hope this info comes to u with good use.. any other questions just post em up dude

 

hey thanx for all the help ill let you know how it turns out
