How much power can i squeeze out of the 93 mustang's 4 cylinder?

Why... just get the 5.0

i've known guys in cali who have done the volvo swap on their 2.3 mustangs, reason to not go with a 5.0 is why do what everyone else does? why not be original for once its an awesome setup once you git good

This, 5.0 swap is yawn inducing.

that literally explained nothing about it. they just started talking about the b230f (which is a kickass motor)

thatsnota5.0

People have used the SVO shit and done some cool stuff, but at the end of the day it's going to get shit stomped by a turbo civic of the same era. Put a 5.0 in it man. My first car was a 4 banger fox and I recently bought a 5.0 while dailying a forced induction i4. If you want to Initial D, get the right car, if you want to Initial Tailer Park, get the right car. Don't try to combine them both.

no shit

...

That's the same fucking logic vaping retards who butcher cars use. Being a special snow flake doesn't make you good.

>why not be original for once
because going fast and having aftermarket support is better than being a special snowflake

>car enthusiasts

yeah right

you guys are cookie cutter normal fags who want cheap thrills and dont even care about cars

500hp from a 93 5.0 requires more than just tuning, you'd need some parts also, running around a grand I'd think, if he wrenches.

Hide California posters, ignore California posters

No it requires about 3k worth of parts to hit in the 300s, you're not going to magically double stock HP with a junkyard explorer head and intake swap fuck face.

Try new cam, new head, new intake manifold, new lifters, new headers, new exhaust for starters. Or are you one of those retards that thinks swapping the exhaust and gettin dat der posi and drag wheels will put you at sub 10 seconds because old car magic.

KK is from cali anyway

More like destination city, but nice try nigger. Check out this sikkk original build bro, totally unique dawg, so original and expressive.

I would rather put a 5.0 in my truck than turbo the 4.9 because I want something that is cheap, that works, and goes fast reliably with a ton of parts I can choose from at competitive prices.

you'd need new pistons, cam, intake, headwork and valvetrain. depending on what you start with, and how much work you want to put in it yourself, realistically you could do it for 1-2 grand.

100x cooler than 95% of the Foxbodies in the world

You should be fine with the stock pistons, their forged in a 302 mustang. Pretty sure trick flows top end kit is a little more than that and seems like the best thing on the market for getting power. Of course less can be made with alot cheap stuff.

Yeah bro, check out these hella flush flash burns too.

good to see someone actually work on their car

to get 500hp you will need more than the stock 9.0 compression those pistons get you.

but for a more mild build it aint no thang.

>it requires 3k worth of parts to hit in the 300s

this is wrong
>E303 cam- 200$
>valvetrain shit- 3-400$ tops
>stock 9.0:1 pistons will get you there
>edelbrock performer RPM intake- 120$ used
>holley 650cfm 4160 and rebuild kit- 140$
>1985 mustang manual transmission distributor- 40$
bam. should net you decently over 320hp for not much. if you want to go crazy and get the GT40s worked, it is another 3-500, it will get you much more power.

there's working on your car, then there's butchering things with "it'll be fine brah" thinking.

Can you show dyno numbers to back that up? Windsor 302 made 225 to the crank from factory, I find it highly dubious that an intake, cam, some new lifters, and swapping to a carb will gain you 100+ horsepower.

full bolt ons and a E303 would probably be around 300 at the crank

GT40 heads added on would be around 320

I dont think you realize how shit the stock heads and cam air

not only stock cam, but the stock valvesprings and shit are fucking turrible

>2.3L
>105 HP

No I know they're shit. I'm just highly skeptical of the classic claim that just a few hundred bucks and an hour of work and you can double the horsepower because old car. I mean calculating at the crank is pretty much bullshit anyways because there is no real way to do it, you're just guessing, and probably isn't actually. I could very easily be wrong, but I find there is a lot of boomer-esque exaggeration with older cars.

I stand corrected, very nice.

well it isn't "500 bucks and an afternoon," but the potential is there.

the 302 is a great motor, you just have to remember that from the factory they were neutered fairly hard for reliability, economy and cost. GT40Ps are pretty decent as far as iron heads go

>I'm just highly skeptical of the classic claim that just a few hundred bucks and an hour of work and you can double the horsepower because old car.

its more than that but it isnt much work at all on plenty of them

I mean like intake and exhaust on some of those old smog era cars is worth 100hp with tuning

modern heads and cam on top of that and you have a stout car

new here. Are they your leafs?

no, just this particular tripfag is a californian, so Ad hominem fallacy takes over just like how Mrcummy is a furfag.

jokes on them, I no longer live there.

None. Drop an LS1/T56 in there and build up.

Jesus shitting christ why doesn't this idiot wear a helmet? If you can invest in a welder you can invest in an auto-dimming helmet. Those welds are fucking garbage because he can't fucking see what he is doing.

My friend knows someone who has extracted about 400-500 on an N/A 2.3

Sure, swapping in SVO parts and forged internals can get you there, but that head is gonna choke you hard.

He's put a lot of money and work into getting it to work effectively on a Holset twin-scroll, and sometimes wishes he went 5.0

Which is why he's now building a 5.0.

I thought that was going to be a porno.

They aren't /pol/ leafs, but California is the premier home of Subie vape mods and assorted car "culture" cancer.

this

Err, 500 hp on a 2.3 na? ....did it have about a 300 shot of nos?

just get the 93 cobra pussy

That shit is extremely expensive family

I got the 2.3L in my ranger, what do I need to do? I read people swap the pistons in out of the mustang and can run 450hp

but you need the forged internals for that.

what else would you need to run this big of a turbo?
