88 Mustang Coupe with 2.3T Swap Nicely Moddedb
 

Well, looks like it's time to sell one of my Toys. I have lot's of pics and will provide as much info as possible.
It's an 88 Mustang Coupe with a 2.3T swap.
5 Lug Conversion with 17" Bullits. 5 speed with LA3 Computer.

.60/.63 T3, Stinger Header, 3" from Turbo to rear bumper (with a 3" cat) and from turbo to Throttle Body, Gutted Upper/Knifed-n-Ported Lower, 65mm Throttle Body, 31x24x3 Front Mount, Blow-Off Valve, Adj. Pressure regulator, manual boost controller, 190LPH in-tank, 3 core radiator and SN95 95 controlled by a Ford CCRM (no stupid toggle switches need to switch fan from lo to hi) 130 amp Alternator

Everything in this car works! A/C, PowerSteering (has the infamous Ford "whine" ), brakes. Hell, the Cruise Control even works! Idles rock solid at 950 and pulls a solid 16" of Mercury all day long. Does not run hot, doesn't die when coming to stops, doesn't smoke, doesn't hesitate, pulls hard through all gears.
Front Struts less then a year old. Rear Shocks a little over a year. New master cylinder for breaks and new slave and master on clutch. Could use some bushing in the suspension (have never been changed) and that would be a nice addition.
Passes Texas Emissions with room to spare (have Test Results from past 2 years) and all tags are current

I always hated the radio set-up in Foxes. The radio is behind the shifter. I moved the HVAC controls down to that spot and put the radio where the HVAC was. It's an Alpine 6025

Built fiber glass pods for the doors to house 6.5" driver on each door. Also, next to each door pin, is a LED for the alarm, showing it's status when armed.

In the trunk is a fiberglass enclosure housing a 12" Kicker Solobaric. It's built in the driverside cubby hole, so no real trunk real estate was lost.

Changed the front seats and they feel/support light years better then the stockers

Oh yeah, the pic above shows the motor set-up with the VAM in "Blow_Thru" which worked out just fine in my car (not a single problem). I currently have the meter back in front of the turbo

The reason for the change was noise! The damn Blow-Off valve is freakin too loud for my taste. So I plumbed it back into the VAM air piping. It's quiet and I don't feel any loss in power. I will however provide the piping to convert it back to blow-hru (I'll help the buyer do it, shouldn't take more than a half hour). I found it "ricey" (damn thing releases air whenever you shift, very annoying after a while).

The only real change I'd do to this car if I were to build one again is the rear gears. I'd go with 3.27 as opposed to the 3.73 that currently reside in it now.
Outside of that, it's a great little car, for being an 88.

Thanx again everyone for the positive replies, it really is a nice example of a Fox Bodied Mustang. Simple, effective and attractive (or so I think)


Fook, I don't mean it's Honda board as in Honda Tech. But a majority of the members here are interested in Honda performance/upgrades.

I am really interested in this car, so much that i would more than likely hop a greyhound in a week or 2 to come get it. what brand are all of your "turbo toys" (BOV, MBC, etc) and how fast is this thing? any dyno #'s or track times?
