- The goal with this project was to try and bring this aging fox chassis thunderbird and obsolete 2.3L up to snuff in 2023 in hopes to improve power and handling enough to be on par with some of these more modern performance cars. Thanks to Boport and stinger performance for making some quality parts along with everyone who helped online. with over 400whp on tap at 22psi and even more in the high boost setting paired with a nice suspension package from maximum Motorsports I think I’ve done just that. Now with everything buttoned up and most of the bugs worked out here’s a video of engine assembly, walk around + idle video, ride along and some winding mountain roads. #GreatValueSupra #thunderbird #turboCoupe #boost

This car is absolutely killer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Had an 86 with the SVO front intercooler. Best $1,000 car I ever owned. would love to have another one, esp. after seeing videos like this. Jealous, and I own V8 cars that gulp gas.
Bad ass car man!
Car looks great!
If you're looking to free up some more power, try converting to electric power steering and use one from a Volvo S40. Your factory high pressure line will fit just fine. I did this on my 88 TC and got rid of the whining factory pump and cleaned up the engine bay. Alternator relocates to where the PS pump use to be. Very nice car and build!
You just use the electric pump unit and keep the original steering rack correct?
Yes. @@bpowda84
Very nice I always thought TC were under appreciated!
I’m a huge fan of 2.3 turbos and the fox platform in general. This has to be the nicest turbo coupe I’ve ever seen. By far! That engine looks perfect, that rare as F&@k motorsports valve cover! You’ve got it all man! How much to build me a the same engine?
I appreciate it. And about 15k to build one. These 2.3s ain’t cheap to do right.
That engine build was amazing, such an epic cool job. Would love to know what the build consists of but holy hell 427 whp!! 😮
#PoweredByFord 😁👍👍
Imagine this setup in a 500 lb. lighter Fox Mustang with upgraded suspension and brakes. That would be a beast!
I put one in my 91 Miata, but I keep blowing up differentials. I do have plans for a ford 8.8, but money is tight now, so it will have to wait.
Nice work man. Working on my 87 currently. Nowhere near as good looking but I figure if she is ugly on the outside then there's nothing stopping me from doing a nascar look on it when i get it running well.
a work of beauty that mine cant even come close to LOL
Sweet setup! That TC is super clean.
Love 2.3L Turbo TBirds!
My Dad had a silver '83 5 speed. Fun car to drive!!
BTW: Get rid of that annoying air freshener swinging around in your field of view!
I learned to drive stick in one that looked identical. Seemed strong but i was 12. Turbo 4 cylinder..(it was brand new)
This guy is a moonshine runner.😂
Beautiful car! Love those 2.3s
Sounds good 👍
How did you rework the alternator and brackets?
Cool bro👍🔥💪🚘🚀⚡️
Sweet car.
❤❤❤❤

@@JORSOCR no !
He’s always done right by me. Not very many option when building a turbo Lima unfortunately.
@@JORSOCR didn’t say he was a bad guy . There’s just better ways to build 2.3s
@@MrBlackbutang ok so your just gatekeeping. Gotcha
