Ford 2.3 turbo+Fiat 131+Sradale kit=Killer car

Yeah, been there many times myself..

Haven't we all? I'd like to spend enough to get around 275 horses, but I'd also like the motor to last if ya know what I mean.

Hard to say without actually seeing them but, probably yes.

Here's one

Since the cam in these is easy to change, less than 2 hours, I'd say to start with a '89-'94 Ranger roller cam and get the thing running first. While your at it do the DIS conversion and toss the distributor in the dustbin where it belongs.

Can I use the DIS of the same ranger? I don't know a lot about these 2.3's, I'm a V-8 guy, but one won't fit

I'm guessing that car will weigh in at about 2800-3000#, I should think 25psi would do you very nicely.

25 psi, ok sounds good, but the car will weigh in at more around 1800.......


By the way, I appreciate the advice man

That one should do fine but the price is almost too cheap.

Yes, you'll need the crank hub and pick-up, the DIS module and wiring, a coil and the oil pump drive stub (it takes the place of the distributor). You'll have to make a heat sink for the module.

25 psi, ok sounds good, but the car will weigh in at more around 1800....

Hmm, 6.5# per hp, and be able to turn a corner at speed, very nice.

Any time.
