Timing could be a consideration, but I adjusted it (without any timing equpiment though) when I replaced the timing belt. I think something with fuel delivery...
Could there be a vacuum leak? Have you also looked at the oxygen sensor and/or the throttle position sensor? The oxygen sensor doesn't come into play until...

I have a 1988 ford mustang with the 2.3l. I am having trouble trying to figure out a lowering technique I can use for my car. All the lowering kits I have seen...
The lowering kits for the V-8 and V-6 should work fine for your car. I would stick with the V-6, though, since the V-8 is a much heavier engine, and its kit...
Just curious if I kept it street legal. What would be the approx. max horsepower I could get out of it. Completely open to some suggestions. I do not want to...
HEY EVERYBODY IVE GOT AN N/A 88' MUSTANG 2.3L AND I HAVE JUST RECENTLY PULLED THE COMPUTER, INJECTORS, AND TURBO MANIFOLD FROM A TURBO XR-7 AND WAS WONDERING...

Hey ive got an '88 2.3L mustang. So far i have cold air induction, a 2 1/4 single catback exhaust, and my timing bumped ten degrees. I hoping to achieve 130 -...
I raced these engines for several years, and found that they couldn't take that much timing. I'd take at least half that out, and try other things. With a good...
the turbo 2.3's are mostly a drop in! (use the turbo engine wiring and eec though) a modded 23 turbo can deliver as much as 300hp maybe more if your rich LOL! ...
Whats wrong with having ten more degrees of timing? also where could I find a "street/strip" camshaft that will work with my fuel injection?? ... couldn't ... ...
You engine is designed to produce maximum bmep (pressure inside the combustion chamber above the piston) shortly after top dead center(tdc). This is the most...
I'm looking to give my car at least 225hp. I'm aware of a 2.3L turbo swap, but can a turbo be added to a 2.3L n/a by switching exhaust manifolds and so forth....
You can add the turbo the the n/a engine BUT... it will probably last about 5 minuted as the boost will most likely blow the pistons apart. the n/a engines do...
Hi, Looking for center caps for turbine 15" rims. I currently have an '87 LX w/2.3L and swapping out the 14" rims for the larger ones. If anyone should happen...
OK - Probably a very broad question. I have tons of experience with a 5.0 Mustangs but am considering getting into rally racing (Group 2) that limits engine...
The 2.3 is a very tough engine, super strong bottm end. There are TONS of aftermarket ho up parts avaialable for it (racer walsh in jax, FL is a good start) if...
