Too many folks say it's better to go with a V8. I can dispute that claim with some benefits the 2.3T still has.
Many dirt cheap stock parts from other cars are considered and upgrade (T3 compressor from Grand Nat, Ranger or 2.3 Mustang roller cam, Turbocoupe rear end with disk brakes and LSD, etc.) and you only have half the plugs, wires, pistons, manifolds and pipes for problem diagnosis and/or repair.
@Swagman00 that to me is priceless. When I look at engine swaps to do that is something I look for. Outrageous economy. Performance part increases with junk yard prices. WTF else do you want?
wow alot of haters on cars that beat superficial fast cars.... sorry but stinger is no one to eff with...even my semi stock will woop alot of cars out there either 0-60 or 100 to 170..but then again theres no reason to bash someone in a video just because your fat and behind a computer in your chair while your mommy brings you milk and cookies and you shit yourself daily because your to busy posting bs on fb... if you really wanna be a man then challange him or anyone else and meet up otherwise
@oddessy2g shut the fuck up you diaper wearing moron....thank you and have a nice day... (stinger i should be ordering some stuff from you soon.. good job with everything....
@oddessy2g HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY FUCKING GOD YOUR RANT.. That cracked me the fuck up, fat behind a computer while mommy brings milk and cookies and shitting yourself all day.
@Reggindriver1 Y thank you but its true theres alot of people that dont know shit.. like this labaron guy whom claims he has his granny labaron that has stock 101 hp and will beat a 900hp supercar...lol... people like that should not be aloud to post period..
I would love to build my n/a 2.3 into a 2.3t on the side of my 5.0 bit I don't have the money :( but all of stinger performance svo's and lx 2.3's are all badass. 5*
@1994lebaron You forgot to mention your V6 makes 141hp...less than ANY version of the 2.3L Turbo engine...which made 145-205hp stock. Oh...and the performance version of the lebaron came with a...wait for it.....2.0L Turbo 4 cylinder!
@1994lebaron I'm going to call BS on that one unless it was a super low production run for a pace car or something...I see no reference to any such thing ever existing from the factory. Besides, you don't have one so who cares? You have the "grandma" version of a Lebaron lol.
@1994lebaron I saw your 5-40mph video in the rain (took 7 seconds and didn't spin the tires in the rain btw) so it's clear your just being a troll, not serious. I'll stop feeding the troll now.
@1994lebaron Hopefully some day when you grow up you'll become a productive member of society that knows how to hold a conversation without being a d-bag. Until then I'm done with you. Go troll around on the other 2.3T videos I noticed your obsessed with commenting about. For as much as you hate them you sure watch and comment a lot of the videos of them lol...
@TurboBoostTurboBoost Owner's manual I have no idea, wiring diagrams are available but you'll have to email me because youtube won't let me include links in comments.
@fuxbox Lol ok, so the new V6 which is probably faster than your V8 is an abomination...let alone our 10 second 4 cylinder or the 8 second 4 cylinder found on other videos. You need to open your eyes. Your attitude is very similar to a Ricer's: "Imports rule, Domestics suck" vs "V8's rule, everything else sucks" Maybe, and that's a big maybe, when you're a little older you'll understand that blanket statements like that ALWAYS make you look like an idiot.
@StingerPerformance no dude its not like that. i know they can be fast as hell! its just not what im used to. Ive been surrounded by big v8 stangs so long i dont understand why theres anything else. V8s are SAVAGE like a muscle car should be!
@fuxbox You're right, it's not what you're used to but instead of being open to the idea of a 4 cylinder Mustang having the ability to be "Savage" or cool in any way, you just closed your mind and said "Rice". If you ever rode in a modded 2.3 Mustang you'd change your mind.
@StingerPerformance nah id be like wtf a 4 banger? ive driven faster jap ricers lol. but anyways regardless of this whole silly conversation, I was not hating. Your stangs are clean and as long as you like what you do I can respect that. they just sound really funny to me :D
@fuxbox Jap ricers are completely different than these engines, we make v8 like power, more tq than hp in most cases or even hp/tq compared to how imports make way more hp than tq. Regardless, sounds like we'll agree to disagree lol.
@StingerPerformance i have a question, i own a 1986 mustang svo and my dad owns a 84 and he said that the pistons from you have a common affect of seazing the engine and id like to buy those the intercooler and bigger injectors. any recommendations?
@brannon86svo Not sure how your dad came to that conclusion since CP's are the best pistons on the market for a 2.3T. Only way they would seize would be if the block was bored too small. If that was the case, other forged pistons would do it even worse because CP's expand less than lesser quality forged pistons because they use a higher quality alloy. You may be best off emailing us for specific questions.
@StingerPerformance the shop in vegas called dynomax bored and honed my block for the cp's they took measurements of the pistons and bored it... it seized...
@fuxbox i bet you with what ever v8 you have the 302 maybe a bored 302-331 or 347 that with half the cylinders and only 3 things done to an svo it will keep with if not beat your v8 depending on whats done to it.
GT and LX engines are the same so that's not a big deal. Intercooler kit, 3" exhaust kit, k&n cone, and a boost controller should handle him without issue.
so, what all is done to the car? ive got a 92 4cyl, and plan on doing a complete drivetrain swap from a 88' Turbo coupe. with a 3'' exhaust, better header and T3. sound decent?
Where did you see the name stinger mustang? Stinger Performance is the name of my company and we sell Mustang parts, that's the only reference to stinger mustang I know of.
I have an 88 thunderbird TC that im wanting to have a bit more power. I do plan on buying some parts from you here pretty soon. Is there anything i need to know or am i going to get all the power i need out of bolt-ons? Im aiming to outrun my buddys slightly modded mustang gt.
Well, I don't know if you mean 87-93 GT or the later GT but regardless, assuming you are a capable driver, have a 5 speed, and your engine is in good shape mechanically, you can go low 13's/high 12's with a full arsenal of bolt-ons which should be plenty to outrun a slightly modded GT (normally run high 13's/low 14's).
Hes got an 89 SSP which is an old police interceptor. Its a GT engine in a LX body. My car is a 5 speed, in great shape, and i like to think im a worthy driver though i still need to learn my car. Its already fun, but i want bragging rights. :P
His stang is actually an 89 SSP its the GT motor in an LX body, an old police interceptor. I have a 5 speed, the engines in great shape, and i like to think im a worthy driver. Its already a fun car, but i want bragging rights. :P
Yeah, the typical cold air/headers modded 5.0's didn't have a chance. Looking back though, this car wasn't all that fast compared to what we've built since.
Lots and lots of parts. ECU, wireing harness, turbo, fuel injectors, and the list goes on. People say it's easy but honestly it really isn't. Is it still worth it? Yeah it is.
Asshole, all your cars are belong to me. In all seriousness though it is cool you got the SVO because you pretty much have almost everything you need right there. So what are you going to do with it? Engine, suspension, maybe looks?
what in the the hell kinda nigger rigged dyno is that?
