[TheWookie]

[Scott]

Those turbo 2.3's arent a joke, Im sure you all remembers the Hubers who ran one on drag week, 1500 miles and he would pull killer wheelies and run 8 second ET's!!! I like your ride Wookie

[FiFdYnUtZ]

Pretty cool! Welcome!

[TheWookie]

thanks scott,hope to build a motor like his in the next 2 years once i get the chassis sorted out...

[stangvortech]

Cool 2.3L set up I love the 2.3L and Nice L.

[LT1Dan]

Unique and awesome! Looking forward to some videos this summer.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

Fyi I only like this car because it goes in a straight line...turns are for the gays

[86svo9L]

Nice ride! Its good to see another turboforder around.

[Deimos]

[TheWookie]

[TheWookie]

Nice ride! Its good to see another turboforder around.

I would love to get an svo to play with but ,Ive done the mustang thing... love em, but got sick of answering the same q's over and over....

closest foxbody I would love to mod one day is a fairmont wagon , I miss my 79 302 4 spd car :(

[TheWookie]

or an 80-82 thunderbird, damn they are ugly and different

[JustinS]

Nice, not something you see every day!

[Deimos]

Cool cool know any guys with race trucks up there? IE Jeff or Jd3bergs?

[black88gt]

Saw a 79 zephyr for sale w/ a 2.3 and got some crazy ideas. Nice car, big fan of the 2.3Ts myself.

[slow ride]

Unexpected, in a good way. Stock head/block or is it all built up? Should be fun to watch.

[86svo9L]

I am looking forward to seeing this run. What are you running for a setup and what engine management? I have been seriously contemplating Megasquirt for my new engine.

its the ems pro its a megasquirt based system, see post above.... named most of it

[Deimos]

the black s10?

Yep

BTW if you buddy with a camaro needs a backhalf kit with a chris alston four links and arb let me know cuz if Keith dont buy this I want it gone for a new car I might be buying.

[86svo9L]

Sorry, wasn't sure if you had any other supporting mods or if you were keeping it to the basics.

[TheWookie]

yeah thats jason, with the s10, not sure who was looking for a back half kit, but shoot me a pm with details

[TheWookie]

Sorry, wasn't sure if you had any other supporting mods or if you were keeping it to the basics.

I guess I dont get what your looking for ? it has every supporting mod Thats legal for the classes I wanna run... once the chassis is sorted out and the cage updated ill be building a new motor, with all the good parts...

[86svo9L]

Its all good, just a misunderstanding. I saw your fuel system and standalone and was wondering if anything else was lurking. Like maybe a boport head and cam or some goodies from esslinger. But it is set up for your next engine, I was thoroughly liquored up last night and I was not reading everything through completely.

[TheWookie]

final engine will be an esslinger tall deck block, arca head and a t76... :)

[86svo9L]

That thing is going to HAUL. I am just going to be running an Essy D port, and I am still tossed up on a turbo, maybe a gt30 or 32 with 72lb injectors on a stinger PIMP ecm

[TheWookie]

Sounds like a good start...
do you have a build thread at all for your svo?

[86svo9L]

No real build thread. Just a thread following the paint job. I have been waiting for something meaningful before starting one up.

[black88gt]

Starting to be a lot of 2.3s on here haha

86svo, wookie, murdered snake, SVO1, myself, who knows might be more

[TheWookie]

details on other cars please?

[black88gt]

details on other cars please?

I can't really speak for the others as I haven't kept up on them but I picked up an 86 SVO. Right now its a stock car next to a pile of parts but will hopefully be a full bolt on car w/ a WH1C(big things I need are a header and injectors). Have an LA3 for it and it appears it would work w/ my Tweecer R/T but I'm still looking into the details on that route.

If you are interested, I have several spare E6 manifolds and a couple sets of 35lb injectors just hogging space.

Its an 86 it came w/ brown tops although it may have an injector issue, and w/ the downpipe and intercooler piping I've already got it needs to be a Stinger or similair location for the header

[86svo9L]

Got ya. You think this thing will be out on the road this summer?

[LT1Dan]

Got ya. You think this thing will be out on the road this summer?

Well, he needs to have it out of my garage by April soo...LOL

[85XR7Project]

Sounds a lot like Huber's setup

[TheWookie]

Sounds a lot like Huber's setup

yeppers, happens to fit a local class I wanna run

[Domestic Disturbance]

When did Tyler N get an SVO?

[85XR7Project]

I happen to fit in the 2.3T group sort of, when I started on here the Cougar had one. Ended up selling it to someone on here.

[black88gt]

When did Tyler N get an SVO?

He didn't I don't think. I said 2.3s

Is the PiMP out? I remember rumors but haven't checked back on the results

[86svo9L]

Yea it has been for some time. There is a long waiting list, I have been on it since last May. I should be on the next batch or the one after. Another alternative I have looked into is http://www.wilsonracingms.com/ this guy has been doing plug and play megasquirts for the 2.3T for much longer and uses MS2.

[Jappbox]
