I got some questions. Im building a 2.3 turbo for my turbo coupe. I was thinking ported and knife edged upper and lower intake, bigger TB, head work, arp rod bolts, bobs log header, t3/t4 hybrid turbo. Now would it be safe to do a .30 over bore with the turbo? I want 22 psi out of the set up so its safe to DD, and I also want to not have to run a standalone ecu yet. Comments, and suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

.030 over will be fine. you can do what you have listed and "get by" on the stock ecu, but your going to want to get a wideband at the very least, and back the timing down, then slowly put it back in. I'd really look into getting somthing to tune with, your going to be shooting yourself in the foot for at least 30hp by still using the vain air meter, not to mention the tune isn't going to be close to optimum.

@95zracing and how much does your v8 make? and show me a v8 that makes 1500hp on a stock bottom end, that gets 18 mpg with a 5800 stall and 4.56s.. or just one that make 1500hp on a stock bottom end..

I'm an old school v8 guy, currently in my garage sits a sbc crate in my corvette. Let me tell you this: that 2.3 ford is by far the best little engine we've ever had. We have race prepped 87 fox body mustang. No, it doesn't have the 5.0 anymore. It has the 88 tbird tc engine and it is lighter, punchy, and can race all damn day at 4,000 to 5500 rpm without fear of destruction. All you haters need to build and race a 2.3. You'd then understand.

Proud Camaro owner here with mods on the motor, and sadly I'm gonna have to say this :( I think you would kill me in a zero to 60. Love your four banger broski. Keep it workin!

@puremaplesyrup22 The Escape uses a completely different motor. The one in this video looks like an 80's Lima motor which came in Turbo Coupe's, SVO's, XR4ti's, etc., turboed from the factory. It's a whole different beast. Although the head in this video looks like an N/A head that's been machined.
