turbo 4 cylinder

Okay so to start off I’ve scoured this forum and have found a lot of helpful information but I’m still unsure of what the best route would be so I have a couple options. I have a 97 2.3 xlt 5 speed that I’m looking to turbo and daily drive. Obviously the easy way is to swap a turbo motor/ecu in...

Hello all, I'm currently in the middle of a distributed turbo 2.3 conversion from a 1988 Thunderbird Turbocoupe into my 1991 Ranger, which had the EDIS 2.3 stock. I am running into a bizarre issue where the fuel pressure is bleeding down after letting the fuel pump prime the engine. I have done...

I have an 83 thunderbird coupe 2.3 turbo with wiring harness, and Ecu. I want to swap it into my 1990 ford ranger which has a 2.9. Could I just take the 2.9 out with the wiring harness and the Ecu and replace it with the 2.3 engine with its harness and Ecu? Just a direct fit? No tuning or...

I'll begin with an apology if I missed an obvious thread on this topic already. I've got a turbo with manifold from an 86 Thunderbird. I'm having a very difficult time finding anyone whos strapped one of these onto the dual plug 2.3 from the mid 90s. Anyone have a tech reference or maybe know...
