[Ryan218]

if so id like to know what you like most about them? how is the power?

I used to own a 2.3T swapped ranger about 5 years ago. Its a torqey 4 banger. I put down 300 whp and 350 wheel torque.

i had a turbo coupe and did a manual boost controler and it did very well on stock turbo at 18lbs

I had an SVO with a few mods, and the boost controler. It was real fun. I really regret getting rid of it. I needed a gas mileage car, and I don't have the self control to stay out of the boost.

Well, i'd tell you the same thing over again but that'd be silly :lol:


As Tim put it, it's all in self control and staying out of the boost. I can get 25mpg in my Merkur if i drive it reasonably but once you mash the gas and those 35lb injectors start spraying, the mpg drops fast.

I have a 93 coupe with an 88 TC engine. It's fun...good on gas(if you stay outta the boost) and cheap on insurance. You have to do a little work to get power out of them, but I am gonna find out what I can do with mine after I get back from deployment.

One here too.
Best thing, is no matter what its a sleeper. I could say mine puts down 250 horse and people would think I am exagerating.
Next would be that its different. I have had alot of Mustangs. 351's , 331's , 347, twin turbo's, blower cars, nitrous cars. Whatever. Name it and I am sure I have had something close.
Third would be that its not a car just anyone can build and make fast. You cant just flip open a book and build a fast car with a credit card. But if you know what your doing, it is CHEAP.
