My first car was a 1984 SVO. I
bought it my sophomore year of high school. I am 43 now and still have her. My son has a 1985 SVO as well. After several renditions including car audio with 6 10” subwoofers🤣 to auto cross then drag and now Street/daily. I’ve done everything in my garage never taking it to a shop. I was under the impression I could fabricate. This video has shown me the difference between a professional(you) and myself. your fabrication skills are great you already know that but the modifications were so damn clean and thought out ,nothing looks out of place!
Thank you for sharing ,Dennis
I don't know if I would call myself a professional at anything but thanks for the complement :) My fabrication skills came from working many years in the car audio world. Thanks for sharing your story.
I did a 2015 Ecoboost Mustang build. The bock is decked a sleeved. Went with a Ford Performance turbo and a fabricated high pressure fuel pump. NHRA stock eliminator has very strict rules but I'm OK with that. I'm fine with a 10 second build. Takes only minutes to switch from race to a street tune. 34mpg on the highway!
Note: Ecoboost owners, the stock block is at the ragged edge at 400hp improve the clutch and swap in some proper axels.
I know this is an older video, but that is some good work!
Thanks!
Dude amazing fabrication skills! That lower radiator pipe is an idea I'm gonna try.
Thanks! I make the lower pipe because we had problems with the rubber hose.
@Ian Ford I've built a few different style headers for the 2.3 and it's difficult to say which is best. They all work even the stock cast manifold.
What throttle body are you running
I owned two 86 SVOs. One regular and one "Comp Prep." All the car needed to be truly great was another 100 horsepower! Even 50 HP would have helped sales.
Nice! Yeah there's no way I would be happy with a stock SVO.
It's too bad they didn't just turn them up a little bit more and make it a solid base line engine for the 90's
Ford should have updated the 2.3T with the 3.0 SVO tall block topped by Big V head or a FoVo 16V factory. A Rick Burns Bonneville Flyer limited 3.0 XR4 LSP Edition🤬
Thats some great fabrication work there 👍
Had a chance to purchase this model back in 86.....do I wanna little 4-banger...at the time no......kick myself. Really nice build you have going on. Enjoyed your video.
Yeah the 4-bangers weren't very popular back in 86'. Thanks for your comment!
Dang, thanks for the motivation 👍
Wow, that’s pretty impressive work!
Thanks!
@@svojon I dabble, but you have some serious skills! I’m also a mustang fanatic and have always had a thing for SVOs and supercharged mustangs
Sick build
Thanks Mike!
had an 88 Turbocoupe with a pretty good build on 28lb of boost but this was in the late 90's Ran 13.50's @ 103mph 4300lbs. The ONLY thing I would change is go to a Volvo Twin cam 4 valves per cylinder head. They bolt right on.
That's respectful for a Turbocoupe. I'll be doing a Volvo head build here soon. Not sure if it's going to be better but we'll find out.
@@svojon I commented before watching the entire video. MY car on 28lbs was a turd compared to your beast. I did read a lot about 9 sec 2.3ltr builds back in the day. There was a well known guy with a pinto that ran 9's. Your fab skills are mindboggling! Epic car man.
Just found this on teh tube th-cam.com/video/tvVY9z7-l0U/w-d-xo.html
@@EliteLX I've seen a few different builds using the Volvo head but haven't seen anyone run fast at the track. Having said that it's also rare to see the 2.3L Lima at the track. lol!
@@EliteLX Thanks! There's still a couple Pinto's out there running fast.
Excellent work!
Thanks Harlan!
Love the header design! Gives you a nice amount of room to work looks like it
I built another one afterwards that puts the turbo lower (less bend in the downpipe) and has better wastegate placement.
Great build. Looks pretty similar to volvo stuff. Sohc and 2.3l
Thanks!
Pure talent...
Thanks Steve!
Wow man congratulations, beautiful work 🎉🎉🎉
That's a clean lookin stang
Thanks!
No problem, I've had several throughout the years. Ranging from 1985 through 2001 the 01 is my last one I dropped in a supercharged 5.4l in it. So I can appreciate when someone takes pride in their mustang.
V8 KILLA !!!!!!!!!!!
Damn doing it big keep up the hard work
Thanks Robert!
Awesome build Bud!! My friend has a MERKUR XR4TI, you definitely gave us some good ideas for an engine build. Lots of potential with these 2.3's, Keep the videos coming!!
Thanks Julian! I'll try to keep the videos coming.
Dude that is sick! I'm currently building a Ranger with a 2.3 turbo.
Your build turned out AMAZING! Excellent work!!
Thanks Hoppy's junkyard rally!
@@svojon you're welcome! Your work is flawless you've got serious talent!
Sick fan work
I have 85 svo in red. With the interior
Interior is rare these days :)
Awesome cat
What kind of power does the svo make? Also any drag track times?
How much would this cost to have something like this put in my 1993 2.3L mustang
Depends. If you do the work yourself than most likely will cost you more time than money. If you have to pay someone to fab it all and tune it than you're looking at thousands!
I could be mistaken didn't ford make over 1000 hp with that block?
Not that I'm aware of. Ford made a non-production tall deck block that was capable. Also the Cosworth 2.0L was a different engine design.
Nice build!! #BuiltByBo
Thanks!
What would you recommend “mod wise” for my 2019 ranger… I love it. I never thought a 4 banger would make me happy 🤣! Keep up the great work
What's the end goal? Most important things, 1: Engine Management. 2: More fuel pump and injector than you think you need. 3: Use a good turbo and sized for what you need. 4: Don't use a cam with more than 30 degrees of overlap if you plan to street drive it often. Between 0 and 30 is good but not less than 0.
@@svojon street/ overlanding, thank you for the timely response!
@@ricardogarza533 Which transmission are you going to use and how much hp is your goal? I'm assuming stock iron head?
@@svojon yessir it’s completely stock at the moment, 450 Hp or so.. didn’t know you could get so much out of a 4 cylinder
Can we hear a voice over about the parts and build process?
I have a 2.3 non turbo in a lotus that has been pretty heavily modified, but I'm having trouble with vapor locking i suspect, or maybe bad timing. My issue is whenever I step on the gas, the car hesitates, almost sounds like its misfiring for a second, then it takes off like a rocket. It'll do that every time, no matter what, but even more concerning is when I drive it and it warms up, or its 90+ outside, I wont even need to stomp it, and it'll have that same misfiring sound and huge loss of power. Any ideas of what it could be or how I can fix it? More details I'm aware of: compression ratio is 12.75, it has a custom built cam, massive dual Webber barbs, Holley electric fuel pump, brand new fuel distributer, and some old ignition system that fires the spark plug twice per rotation, one when it should, on the compression stroke, and again on the exhaust stroke (supposedly to increase horsepower and efficiency) any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
I have a 1979 Ford Courier that is currently naturally aspirated but I plan on putting a turbo on it. Do you know what kind of horsepower your Mustang is making? You do some really impressive work! Is there any way I can contact you in the near future as I begin to build my mini truck?
Thanks! These engines can make as much as the turbo and fuel system you put on it. Assuming you upgrade the rods and pistons. Yes you can contact me just let know how?
Beautiful build looks amazing...So many question to ask don’t know where to start I just acquired a 1988 merkur xr4ti 2.3l same as your build but needs some Tlc on the turbo setup runs and drives but very ruff the previous owner went front mount inter cooler and got rid of the original water cooling system would love to chat and get some advice on my build.
Thanks. I can chat with you just let me know how you would prefer to do that?
Either Facebook or Instagram which ever you’d prefer
Add me on Facebook Jayjay Delgado my profile picture is on a motorcycle with a white helmet and white sweat shirt.....I work nights mon-fri so if you have a free min on the weekend would be ideal thank so much man I really appreciate it

What song is going on through the video? Dope build man, doing a svo swap from a Thunderbird to a 94 ranger.
Any advantage of having the BOV on the hot side? I am trying to figure out the best location on my 2.3.
I don't use the BOV on any of my cars. The way you seen it in the start of the video is how I received the car.
@@svojon I thought that might be the case after watching your intro for the fifth time lol. Your car sounds absolutly amazing!
Any driving review vids ?
No I don't have any. I wouldn't even know where to start with that. My social skills are horrible at best.
I love the build. I’m currently put a 2.3l turbo in a Miata built. I’m looking for multiple suggestions on how your running the catch can.
Basically ditch the pcv and gut the filter container that's pressed into the block. Use at least a -12 hose from the block to the can. Modify the valve cover vent so you can attach a -10 or -12 hose and run that to the can. You can also use the fuel pump block off plate to vent the block. The more air you can vent off the better in my opinion.
svojon okay do you have a Facebook or Instagram we could talk on? I don’t wanna put my phone number on TH-cam’s comments
@@levitatetv7829 facebook.com/svojohn
where can i get that cam or actually any parts for that matter lol
Have you tried schneidercams.com? You can also try Esslinger or Boport.
Ay man think you could make my stock 2.3 91 300hp?
In your experience what do you think will flow better. A Volvo 16v head on one of these or a ported stock head?
I have no experience with the Volvo 16v. Does flow really matter when it's turbocharged? We ran 9's in the 1/4 mile using a stock port iron head. Would it go quicker using a Volvo 16v head? I doubt it because the turbo would be the same.
Do you make these turbo manifolds for us to purchase?
I feel like there's no reason to make them. Ebay has headers for $150 and I can't even buy the material for that.
svojon i bought one and it fell apart, love the look and fit, just looking for better quality
@@mattmantooth931 Understand and thanks for the feedback.
Are you going to start manufacturing the header?
These engines are so rare to even see these days. Is it really worth building a jig to sell maybe 2 headers a year? I don't think so.
@@svojon yeah I see what your saying I was just wondering because I picked up a turbo coupe and I'm starting to buy up speed parts for it
You can take the stock E6 manifold pretty far. It's very durable and reliable for everyday abuse. We ran mid 6's in the 1/8th mile using a stock E6 and the pressure drop between the cylinder head exhaust port and turbine inlet was around 5 psi of restriction.
@@svojon ok I'll see what I can do thanks
How much $$$???? I wanna know what I'm getting into lol?
The engine is cheap but everything around it is what cost the money. The turbo cost more than the engine. The engine management cost more than the engine. The transmission cost more than the engine. You get my point... Have fun!
Terrific fabrication! Just out of curiosity, do you know how much the engine weighs? I have heard all kinds of wild guesses but never heard of anyone actually weighing it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! The engine weighs roughly around 350 lbs fully dressed. Not much different than the 302 engine.
@@svojon That's what I have heard. That blows me away that a block with half the cylinders and only one head weighs about the same as a 302. I know the 2.3 block is really beefy and the head has some really heavy iron built into it for the cam but is that where all the weight comes from or is it all the plumbing for the turbo? Thanks for the info!
@@danmallery9142 The crank has some weight to it. I'll try and weigh an empty block, head and crank later tonight and let you know.
@@danmallery9142 An empty cylinder head weighs 54lbs (no valves, springs, cam, etc...) An empty block weighs 104lbs (no crank, rods, pistons, etc...) The stock 2.3L crank weighs 33lbs
@@svojon Wow! Thanks so much for doing this! I have been curious about that for a long time. From all the people asking about this on forums and all the miss-information out there, I think you could make a video talking about this. Thanks again! You have a great channel, BTW.
wanna hit you up for my ranger
Hey Jon what header is that?
It's one that I made.
@@svojon do u sell them ?
@@unlimited408mike No I have never sold one before.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out what’s going on at 2:15. What is that?
There's a 4 gallon water tank inside the passenger side fender for the air/water intercooler. The screw on cap is large enough in case we want to use ice.
svojon gooooootcha.....thx for the response! And outstanding build!
Thanks Randy!
Do you have a link on the cam timing gear
Esslinger Racing
Would you make me that header ?
Did you do a ac delete?
Lol ofc you did but how did you go about cleaning it up
Dyno#s? Trac?
This car has never been on a dyno or down a drag strip. Sorry.
@@svojon often for those who know they can is enough...cheer$!
Knowing YU CAN IS A CHOICE...THATS ENOUGH! CHEER$ TO YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAILS AND FAB WRK!
Thanks! @@JJj-xratedgt
How much did this cost?
My time building it and whatever the material cost. Does anyone keep track?
@@svojon lmfao true that😂
I would have preferred a description throughout the video over that shit music.
Understood! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to making videos. Thanks for your input.
Psi u run?
Haven't had this one past 19psi yet.
@@svojon any updates on the 2.3. I'm currently 2.3t swapping my 94 ranger.
@@earledney1942 It still runs and no issues to report on. Do you have a specific question? Good luck with your Ranger.
@@svojon thanks. From your videos it looks like you know this motor in and out. what do you think about the pimp stand alone and this motor running 18 lbs with bopart valves, cam. will it be reliable?
@@earledney1942 Which turbo are you using? Yes these engines are very reliable assuming you have good spark and fuel control. The PIMP or any aftermarket ecu is good to have. The stock ecu's can work if you know how to hack them, aftermarket is much easier to use. I'm pretty sure Boport uses Ferrea valves and those are good. Stock size (diameter) is what I use. There's no reason to go larger. For the camshaft, I prefer at least 240 @ 0.050 and .550 lift on the Intake side using the large Esslinger solid lifters. The Exhaust side can be less duration and lift for better torque down low. The iron d-port head needs to be modified to use the large Esslinger lifters which are used on the aluminum heads.
Does everyone want to be a music DJ? Do you think your video wouldn't be as good if you didn't have music.? Showing somebody welding building actually making it and the sounds of it. The sound from that would be better.
That music makes me hope you have already wrecked this thing.
Such lovely people on TH-cam.
Boring.
What's up svojon
