[BlackOut2.3]

Ok. Ive already read the tread on how to turbo your 2.3(which was a very good write-up). But, I was wondering if I could use the 2.3 that is currently in my 1992 mustang. I know for sure I have to replace the internals with all forged. But thats not my main question. I was wanting to know if I HAD to convert to the thunderbird computer and such? I thought I could just build the motor, have the head reworked and just tune the piss out of it. Im going to take my time on this and do it right... so any help would be greatly appreciated.




Thanks guys,

You'd be severely limited trying to tune the Dual plug ECU. No one has disassembled the code yet so there's really no way to get in there and tweak tables and such. There's a fairly good sized group of people who run the stock Dual Plug DIS setup with a turbocharger. They keep the boost down around 6-8psi so the stock ECU doesn't wig out and fuel and air can be manipulated by means other than reprogramming the ECU.

By going back one step in evolution to the 4-plug distributor fired setup, you open the door to easy tuning, and an ECU that you can reprogram even if you can't set the clock on a microwave.

So.... I have to change the motor? I cant run MSD to control spark, and some sort of stand-alone fuel management? Thanks tho, and im not sure what you meant by the whole microwave thing... please explain. LOL
