can i hump it? =3 and spawn it's underlings to rule the racing circuit? ;3

X3; Yep! Have at it!

*humpahumpahumpa*

where did you get the parts for it i cant seem to find any thing for the 2.3 and it makes me mad because you can make the 2.3 a lot faster then the 5.0 so please tell me.

Oh dude, there are numerous places to find parts for it. Mine is the turbocharged SVO engine that came from the 1984-1986 Mustang SVO or a 1987-1988 Thunderbird Turbocoupe. If you're looking for stock turbo setups, try and find an engine from one of those cars. Of course you can find them in these, but some are carbureted and the rest don't have intercoolers:

1979-1980 Ford Mustang, Mercury Capri (carbureted)
1980 Ford Fairmont, Mercury Zephyr (carbureted)
1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti
1983-1986 Thunderbird Turbocoupe
1984-1986 Mercury Cougar XR7
1983-1984 Mustang TurboGT (W Code)
1983-1984 Capri Turbo RS

Most of the parts that I put on that engine can be found in the catalogs of Racer Walsh (www.racerwalsh.zoovy.com - head gasket, head studs, underdrive pulleys, cam gear, valves, valve springs, water pump, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, flywheel, MSD box with wires and coil, distributor cap and rotor, fully worked lower intake manifold, piston rings and bearings, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump), Esslinger (www.esslingerracing.com - old cam gear, head machine work), Crower (www.crower.com - camshaft), Ford Motorsport (www.fordmotorsports.com - clutch and pressure plate, starter), Mopar Performance (fuel injectors), MaxPSI Racing (www.maxpsiracing.com - fuel rail and turbo oil return line), and of course eBay (blow off valve), Autozone (spark plugs, oil and oil filter, air filter, oil pressure feed line to turbo), exhaust shops (downpipe and exhaust work, intake charge pipes), junkyards (miscellaneous parts - intercooler from a Volvo/Powerstroke diesel Ford/Cummins diesel Dodge, etc...), and turbo specialty shops (built turbochargers etc.). I got my gutted and rotated intake manifold and exhaust header from Bob Lee (www.40bob.com), and a lot of random parts from forum For Sale sections (www.turboford.org, # If you look, they are there. :) Hope this helps.

Now, since yours is the DPDIS engine, the one with 8 spark plugs and distributorless ignition, yours will be a bit more of a pain to work with. That engine uses 19lb/hr injectors (the white tops), twin coil packs, a bitch TFI module with a million wires, and a stubborn computer. You can convert it to a distributor setup by taking the dummy plug out and replacing it with a distributor that has a TFI module, and rewiring the coil pack harness to merge with the distributor connector (which is exactly what I did when I turbocharged my 1992 convertible). That will let you change out the 8-plug head for a 4-plug head (which will decrease power but increase torque unless you open up the ports a bit), and have extra control over your timing. If you wanna go the cheap route for a performance cam, upgrade to the Ranger cam. Both the 1991-1993 Mustang and the 1994-1995 Ranger use the same roller cam setup, but the Ranger cam has a better lobe center, a better overlap, and slightly longer duration. If you plan on putting a turbocharger on it, you can upgrade the injectors to the 35lb/hr (brown top) turbo injectors, getting a log turbo manifold, and building your own feed and return lines by finding some in a junkyard. And for the computer, you can run just about any turbo computer for the Fords...I chose the 1985 PC1/PK1 because it has a better fuel map, but the one to look for would be the LA3 from the 1987-1988 Turbocoupe. That will give you better emissions and a better ignition map.

Oh, and as a side note, I forgot to mention I got my billet secondary shaft and billet distributor gear from Racer Walsh as well, and got an aluminum radiator for a 1995 Ranger from 1800Radiator. :P

i heard there is a 16 valved head on a Volvo that will bolt up to the 2.3

There is...it's the Volvo B234F, and it is a complete pain in the ass to do. Tons of machine-work involved. If you want the walkthrough, here you go.

go to this site to see what i want to do to mine engine.

thanks man that will help a lot.

I also saw that you have something like 300,000 miles on it...heh, obviously you need to rebuild that sucker. When you do, have the block machined for the oil drain where the boss is, just above the passenger side engine mount and go with some good forged low compression pistons. Keith Black or TRW will be fine.

Why the sad-face? This thing tears it up! Of course...if you wanted your old Saturn to do so...I still have another turbocharger laying around... :D

Because I'm ashamed of my existence. :D

I don't think the transmission in this thing could handle more than the stock 124 Horse.

Oh hell yeah it could... Saturn made those transmissions all the same...hoping they would withstand around 300hp. The torque is what kills them. The bellhousing isn't designed to have much twist against it...so you might need to upgrade to a better bellhousing, perhaps one from FD's year SC. But you could really push that old Saturn of yours hard. :D And I miss your wolf headliner.

I'm just glad to have the damned thing back.

If you are going to do something crazy to a S series, you need to also weld the differential pin. They're prone to spontaneous failures.
