Finally my turbo engine is getting putting together

[VICTORHUGO]

I BUY THE BLOCK OF THE 2.3T LIKE 3 YEARS AGO LOL,AND WAS IN HOLD THE PROJECT

THE PART LIST

BLOCK FROM MERKUR 87 I THINK

HEAD FROM 89 THUNDERBIRD TURBO

CAMSHAFT FROM 93 WITH ROLLER ROCKERS

MANIFOLD FROM THUNDERBIRD 89

BIG VAM FROM BMW

ECM FROM THUNDERBIRD BUT IS AUTO (LB2)

TURBO T3 ,EXHAUST .63

WIRE HARNESS FROM MUSTANG 93 AUTO


ALWAYS I TAKE FOREVER WITH MY PROJECTS ,I START LAST YEAR PUTTING TOGETHER THE ENGINE,AND NOW WITH 2 BABYS IS MORE HARD TO HAVE SPARE TIME I HAVE A NEWBORN OF 5 MONTHS NOW



I SAW THE CAR(MERKUR) IN THE JUNKYARD AND THE ODOMETER SAY 87K,AND I DONT BELIEVE WHEN SOMEBODY TAKE HEAD AND LOOK LIKE THIS





I OPEN THE ENGINE,AND HAVE ALL MEASUREMENT OEM SIZE!! THE MAIN BEARINGS AND ROD BEARINGS WAS STOCK SIZE AND FROM FACTORY HAVE THE FORD STAMPS IN THE BACK,SO I PUT NEW RINGS,NEW MAIN AND ROD BEARINGS!!

AND I AM LITTLE LAZY TO CLEAN REALLY WELL THE TOP PART OF THE PISTONS



I BUY THE HEAD FROM CRAIGLIST AND WAS FROM 96 AND UP THE ONE IS SMALL AND VALVES AND SPRINGS AND THE MANIFOLD INTAKE DIFFERENT PATTERN,AND ROLLER ROCKER SMALLER





IN ONE OF MY WEEKLY WALK AROUND AT THE JUNKYARD I FOUND A THUNDERBIRD TURBO ,AND I TAKE ALL THE TOP PART OF THE ENGINE (INTAKE,EXHAUST MANIFOLD,TURBO AND HEAD),FOR MY RUSH AND I DONT CHECK THE CAM AND FOLLOWERS HAVE A LOT OF WEAR





I SCORE OTHER CAM IN THE JUNKYARD WITH NO WEAR AND ROLLER ROCKERS FROM A 93 RANGER



LET SWAP THAT CAM (YOU LIKE MY EXPENSIVE BENCH RIGHT )



WITH CAM AND ROLLERS ON IT





I SEND TO THE MACHINE SHOP THE HEAD AND WAS IN GOOD CONDITION THE HEAD AND I REUSE ALL THE VALVES AND GUIDES!! ONLY WAS TWISTED FOR THE OVERHEATING,AND SENDING BACK LOOKING LIKE THIS!!





AND NEXT TO THE OTHER HEAD (IS LONG GONE I SOLD ON CRAIGSLIST AGAIN AND GAIN COUPLE BUCKS )



I PUT TOGETHER THE ENGINE AND USE FELPRO GASKETS,AND TORQUE TO THE SPECS !!



NOW IS ALMOST COMPLETE AND I HAVE LIKE 5 MONTHS I DONT TOUCH THE ENGINE ,ONLY I NEED TO PUT THE RAIL OF INJECTORS AND MODIFY THE WIRE HARNESS BECAUSE IS NOT FROM A TURBO CAR!!







THAT BLOCK WAS V BELT AND MODIFY TO BE SERPENTINE BELT!!

He's from Mexico, not doing too bad

Not a bad start, it's best to do things right the first time, not the second like I did...

I DECIDE TO STOP TO BE A LAZY AND PUT THE TIMING BELT OF MY ENGINE,AND I FOUND A PROBLEM ,MY CAM AND GEAR IS FROM A RANGER 93-94 LOL,AND THAT GEAR ARE ROUND TOOTH,AND THE CRANK AND THE OTHER SPROCKET IS SQUARE TOOTH,AND THE BELT I HAVE IS ROUND TOOTH



I TRY TO PUT THE BELT AND DONT MATCH WITH THE BELT AND DISCOVERY IN THE HARD WAY THE ROUND TOOTH BELT AND SQUARE TOOTHS GEARS DONT WORK






P.S I CAME FROM THE JUNKYARD AND I DONT SEE ANY 2.3 ENGINE FOR TAKING THE CRANK AND THE OTHER GEAR FOR HAVING ALL ROUND TOOTH GEARS ,FOR THE GOOD SIDE I STILL HAVE IT THE OLD CAM WITH GEAR,NOW I NEED TO BUY OTHER BELT BECAUSE I LOST THE TICKET

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

Too bad about the belt.
It takes me a long time to finish projects too.

[scotts90ranger]

If you have another stock cam pulley, put that on the aux shaft as it's the same thing, the square crank pulley should be a little more forgiving. I think I have a spare crank pulley if you REALLY need one, don't know how much shipping would be, and I'm not sure if I know where the pulley is right now

 

[VICTORHUGO]

YESTERDAY I BUY OTHER BELT THE RIGHT ONE,AND PUT THE OLD CAM GEAR,AND PUT THE TIMING BELT ,.TOMORROW I WANNA CLEAN THE INJECTORS AND THE RAIL,AND AFTER THAT I THINK ONLY I NEED TO START TO WORK IN THE WIRE HARNESS




AND alwaysFlOoReD ALWAYS I TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO FINISH MY PROJECTS

[VICTORHUGO]

I DONT HAVE KIDS TODAY AT HOME,SO I TAKE MY WIRE HARNESS OUT FOR CHECKING SOME PLUGS,AND I FOUND IS NOT FROM A 93 ,I REMOVE THE WIRE HARNESS FROM A MUSTANG AND I THINK MAYBE FROM A 91?




THE 93 DONT HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR RIGHT? HAVE COIL PACKS?

 

[VICTORHUGO]

THE BEGINNING OF THE FUN



MY WIRE HARNESS WAS FROM A MUSTANG LOL,BUT I DONT REMEMBER THE YEAR I THINK FROM 90,BECAUSE HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR,AND I FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM STINGER.PERFORMANCE AND THEY SUGGEST TO USE THE EGR CONECCTIONS TO CONECT THE VAF AND FINALLY FOUND THE PLUG




ORANGE AND WHITE STRIPE IS 5 VOLT REF
BROWN AND LIGHT GREEN STRIP IS VANE AIR FLOW
BLACK AND WHITE STRIPE IS SIGNAL RETURN
