  • 2.3 turbo help

    Ive had my 87 turbo coupe for going on 3 years now and have done your run of the mill exhaust, intake, clutch, ect. But am now really starting to dig into things. Does anyone have any suggestions on what next, and does anyone have any aftermarket parts as far as heads, cams, turbos, and upper and lower intakes. pic of the car for some inspiration.

    3" down pipe, t3/t4 when you want to spend the bucks or when the stock one dies, the killer ported head with roller cam that I will soon have for sale, Gillis valve if you don't already have one, etc, etc, etc.

    Oh yeah, and post tits or gtfo!

        Right now the car has the stock ihi turbo, gillis at 18psi(hhaaha), stinger 3in downpipe with a 3in cutout or 3in out the back, spec clutch, vane delete. I'm looking for about 300hp all said and done. Boport has some real nice stuff, ive been looking at their cam setups for awhile now, but their heads sure will put a nice dent in your wallet.

More pictures coming soon I'm not at my house.
          If you think boports are high, I would suggest avoiding Esslinger. There is a reason for the cost. I love my Esslinger head, and the results were unbelievable.

            Essy has some badass stuff aswell. What would you be looking to get for your head cam setup when its off?

              I have not looked to see what it is worth. I just bought it with some other stuff I wanted, so I need to research some of the parts and valve sizes, etc. It should be cheap, for what it is.

                  Racer Walsh in Jacksonville, FL used to have a ton of 2.3t parts. I like that ride!

                    Will do. Let me know if you need any stock engine parts. I keep getting stuff that I can't use, and som of it needs a new home.

                        Just some stock stuff. The only turbo I have is my new one, t3/t4 ceramic ball bearing bad ass. I gave the used up stocker away. There was on on Craigslist recently. Some people have had luck with the cheap Chinese ones, but I'm nt lucky like that. Mine cost a fortune.

                        I'll get a list.

                          Bo port 1.5 or 1.9 cam, get rid of the ihi quick . T3/t4 50trim or a lot of people have had luck with the precsion 5431e turbo dave has em for like 600 bucks and its a billet wheel. 40bob ported intakes, front mount intercooler, 2 step, and speed density swap if not already done. I know justa4banger on here did like 428hp to the wheels on a 50 trim and boport top end.

                          I have some brand new 75lb injectors lowz for sale $150 for the set.

                            I put a boport 2.1 cam in my car and that REALLY woke it up before I ended up trading it. If I ever get into 2.3t again I'll stick with boport stuff (head,cam)

                              Thank y'all for the all the tips ect. From the looks 40bob hasnt done too much as of recent, the last time I checked the page was last updated in 2010 some time. I'm really leaning towards the Boport 1.9 cam, uve heard a lot of good stuff about it over on NATO.
