1987 2.3 turbo . it has a stage 3 boport head with a 2.1 cam , ported and clocked intake , stinger header with holset hx30 super turbo, 45mm wast gate , 3 inch exhaust , Bigger injectors ford 5.0 throttle body , pimp computer , ron frances wire harness , Big 5.0 size aluminum flywheel , aluminum radiator with electric fan , it has a stock bottom end. it will come with every thing to make it plug and play , except for a fuel pump and intercooler . The engine is set up for 93 octane with 25lbs boost.
IAsking 4500 cash only for it.


Supposed to be buying this setup, Does it seem worth it? Says it makes 350 to the wheel but found a dyno video posted with peak hp at 259. Dyno tech said the turbo was holding it back

The head/cam package is over 2 grand. ECU adds a grand, injectors and intake manifold adds another grand. So that's about the asking price (and we've not counted all the other items). So from the standpoint of duplicating it, you couldn't do it for the same money unless you bought everything used.

The turbo is likely holding it back. I wouldn't suggest 25psi on 93 octane.

With a proper turbo and everything dialed in it should be capable of over 350hp at the wheels.

Ok thank you, what turbo would you recommend for that 350+hp? And any other recommendations to go along with it?

[Stinger]

Depends on the budget. There are many options.

Other suggestions depends on specifics like what size injectors it has currently.

Well I have a big r motor sports turbo just don’t know if that would be better than the one already on it. And I already planned on upgraded the injectors anyways.  Not really to worried about price just trying to see what would work best. 

[Stinger]

The BigR one should be larger.

I'd look at our 80 lb to 81 lb/hr options we offer.
