Nice to see a 2.3 in something different.Better get a filter on the front of that turbo before the impellar gets ruined.I am running close to 400HP on my 2.3 turbocoupe with a new setup that should get me to 500.These motors are fun.
Great job on the swap. Looks like you put a lot of work in it. I was wondering about the VAM on the intercooler outlet. I wanted to try this on my T/C and was wondering what if any tuning issues you had as opposed to having the VAM on the compressor inlet. Great ride, love those Mavs.
I like everything but the intercooler....just makes everything thats cool look a little shabby. When it truly is not..So aluminum intercooler and its the bomb!! Good job.
It´s the first USA Mav I saw powered by 2.3 turbo Lima!
This is a very usual config here in Brazil, since Maverick was factory equipped with the 2.3 engine, nowadays a few 2.3 mav´s owners have a turbo engine.
Take care of this sweet and classic car, you´re lucky!
yes i have not found another one on the internet except in brazil. that was the main reason i built it is because i have not seen another one. but that doesn't mean that there isn't one out there. thanks for the comment
Yes, I agree with you! Being unique ( or almost ) is always exciting when we´re talking about cars, mainly old cars!
The maverick with the 2.3 Lima is very different than the 302 one,´cause it´s more handling as the car´s front is lighter, much more confortable and funny to drive fast.
Go ahead man and make more videos to share with us!!!

Still one of the most underrated engines out there. The Lima T-88 can be brutal with the least amount of money hands down.
