why did ford decide to give the 4 banger 2.3L 1991 engine with 8 spark plugs and 2 distributors why did they do this and does a 2.3 turbo engine have 8 spark plugs

[b_chandler]

Supposedly for better combustion efficiency (cleaner emissions)

The turbo engine has only 4 plugs and a conventional distributor with 1 coil.

The first dual plug motors appeared in the Rangers in '89, one model year after the last of the turbo motors.

The dual plug head burns form two flame fronts, completing the burn while the piston is nearer full compression. this added about 15 hp over the single plug engine. Datsun used dual plugs sometime around the early eighties.

so is there any way possible to get a turbo 2.3 with dual spark plugs?

[sleeper_inc]

Yes, it just needs more work. custom tune/J3 chip/stand alone computer/etc

so im going to have some money coming to me and im going to buy a turbo motor and i am inspired to give it dual plugs now what parts would i need to do this and could i swap over some parts from my 2.3 na to the turbo motor to get dual plugs for the turbo motor im also looking into getting a 5.0 notch back but that will be awhile till i get my convertible up and running
