I wouldn't do it again. Doesn't hold up. You can google how to do it like I did.

If you hit with a clean it prob would have been better

LMAO I thought it was supposed to be a roll on paint job what is the point of rolling if you have to spray clear at the end. Hahaha your killing me.

Picked up Project Mayhem yesterday. Turbo 2.3 60mm turbo, 60lbs injectors, intercooled. Put down 367hp at the wheels on the dyno. Getting 4x4 conversion and solid axle swap....

Dang that should be sweet, that's a lot of power for a 2.3!

I've read all the how to articles I could find. Just wasn't sure if you did it the same way with the sanding and stuff. I was hoping that rolling it would be more durable. Thanks for the heads up of it not holding up. Gotta find another way I guess

Petersons 4wheel magazine had an old article on rollon bed liner applied to the body,dont know if you can research it but maybe it will be on thier website somewhere

I've done that to my rocker panel on my old yotas. Durable but not very clean looking for an entire body. Plus, it fades. Had to constantly keep a fresh layer of gloss black on it

Are you sure about that 367hp? I know a thing or two about 2.3's and Im not seeing that kinda power there. Did he mean 267?

I picked up on that too,but I figured it was typo

A buddy of mine has a naturally asp. 2.3 pushing 220hp. Ive also seen a fb page of a company that builds 2.3s to go 8 sec 1/4 miles. So it is possible.

Easy to get 400 plus horse out of a 2.3l, i just happen to have 2 of them in my garage

Check my sig...... I have been building 2.3t motors for over 10 years and most guys that have a "400hp" 2.3t are usually shocked to find out they really only make 250-300 once they put em on a dyno.

Im a Mod on TurboFord.org so I know there are some powerful and fast 2.3's out there,not saying its not possible. Im just saying for the motor in the pic to make around 400 flywheel horsepower I would expect a aluminum head or at least a complete BoPort top end and a aftermarket ECM. If there is still a VAM on the inlet of that turbo I would trim a 100hp off that claim at least.


All that said should be a cool build but there is no way I would want a 2.3t for off roading.Not exactly a power house of a motor when out of boost.

I had a turbo 2.3 in my 2wd,but for off road I cant see having a turbo over a supercharger.ready horse power is mo better than waiting on the spool up.in my oppinion but to each his own ,im not judging what works

No doubt, i was just pointing out that it can be done! Now bthat i have spent the last 2 hours reading your build threads, amazing!
