I've got a '93 LX w/ 2.3. what I have done so far is :

155 GPH fuel pump
Holley adjustable regulator set to 45 Lbs
Removed Intake Muffler
new free flowing '86 SVO style exhaust system

What is next on the list for this weekend:
replace stock 15 lb injectors with 17lb units
Maybe up the pressure to 50lbs on injectors

Question is I have heard that the 5.0 TB will fit with minor linkage mods. What is the size of the stock 2.3 unit? What is size of 5.0 stock unit? Any thoughts as to will this gain me anything in power and would it require any other major changes to system to gain me some power?
I am not after a killer motor, or a turbo at this time. the car runs good like it is, much much better than stock. Just trying to squeeze a little bit more out of her without knocking her way down from her 30mpg average.

Hi Milner, I was wondering how you are making out with your 2.3. I just bought an 88 LX, and so far I've made my own custom 2.5" exhaust, (no noticeable power improvement), then removed the intake muffler and set the timing at 17 degrees at the same time, (definete improvement), and the installed a header from a Ranger, which I cleaned up the ports, and opened the outlet, (again no difference). I'm thinking it may be too lean at this point, so I've ordered an adjustable fuel reg. and a wideband setup, which I'm going to install next to see where I'm at. After that, I've got the newer style roller cam, which I think your car has stock, and an adjustable sprocket, and I have a stock 65mm throttle from a 94 GT, which I'm going to fit to an aluminium plate, and the cut the top of the plenum, port the upper and lower intakes, and then weld the plate to the plenum. Eventually I may port the head and cut it down for some compression. I'd like to know how your car is coming along, and if you have brought it to the dyno. I don't know what kind of power to expect from this setup. Thanks-Nothwoods
