Believe me, I've tried! His car has been sitting in the shop, untouched, for over a year. I'm getting ready to bolt the doors and hatch back on, throw all his parts inside, and push the car into the barn. :7

Yeah, dude... they were like $2.50 apiece, on the shelf. Beats the hell out of mail order stuff. :)

straight up awesome. 2.3 turbo's are sick, i remember seeing some guys mustang that had a holset and he was trying to put a volvo head on it, but never updated the site. Awesome work, beats paying the $2500 something for a good aluminum head right? What t belt did you end up using?

i hope your being sarcastic ???

Re: Ford 2300/Volvo 16V/Holset/Megasquirt
 

I mean retarded in the good way. i.e. "Let's get retarded" or "Hey girl, I saw you across the bar - lookin all retarded. You wanna get outta here?"

but seriously i cant wait to see this thing run. I've got the same head in my vovo.

vovo, ha! Sounds like you do have drinking on your mind. Yea, i was gonna say... even if you ------- hate fords, you cant say that what he's doing isnt fuciking sick. Most of us HMT'ers are so spoiled with are hondas we dont even realize it.

I think you're talking about Stackz (from turboford.net) - he's been busy with school/work but he's updated his site on a somewhat regular basis. His engine is all built up (bottom end with correct 16v relief pistons and stuff...) so he's kinda doing it the "right" way - i'm just trying to see if this thing will run and make decent power before I dump a holy assload of money into it (not that I haven't already. :1)

Oh, and I changed my signature for ya... ;D

Oh yeah, and it's a 4G63 timing belt.. I had planned to use one from a 3.0 SOHC Stealth, but I figured it's be a lot easier to find a decent (Kevlar?) belt for a DSM, so I rerouted it a little and made a new tensioner. :y

awesome, keep up the good fab work and definatly keep the updates coming. I'm quite curious to see what kind of numbers this thing is going to spit out.
