I was just wondering if somebody would happen to know a good site that tells a complete build of a 2.3L turbo. By this I mean someone that built their own turbo setup from scratch basically, including an intercooler and all, or if someone could type up how it would be done or what procedures need to be taken and such, im looking at building a turbo setup for my 2.3L but im not sure how to go about it exactly... I'd rather not do a complete engine swap unless I absolutely have to... thanks in advance.
Edit: oops i should have posted this in Tech instead of Talk lol, sorry!!

You have to pull the engine either way if you want a reliable engine.
But if your penny pinching than an exhaust manifold, turbo, injectors, computer, and VAM off a 2.3 turbo can be used to keep the cost down and the swap easy.
BTW, I did a 2.3 turbo swap, its easy, just take your time and do it right the first time (because I sure am paying for it now)
Check out turboford.net

Maybe 20PSI, new computer, new 3" VAM, and some porting will make it faster

Only thing is, Im kind of sketchy on rebuilding the engine like doing the pistons and all that by myself as i havent really done all that before... and what injectors would i have to use for it or just get them off an already Turbo'd car? do you have any suggestions on what kind of car i should pull these parts from?

sorry but your better off pulling the motor and starting with a 2.3 turbo.. its a lot of work to turbo a N/A 2.3. and a lot of money.. but this is a good web site for a 2.3turbo swap.2.3 Tech Mainpage

Wiring on that site is no good if your not running a LA, LB, or 8UA computer

when i get all my stuff for a turbo, or a turbo swap, ill just message you sleeper, and get more information, i havent decided if i wanna see about getting a 2.3 DOHC from a ranger and swapping it in and turboing it or just using the engine that ive got or swapping in a turbo engine... what do you guys suggest for cheapest cost and for best performance outcome?
