I ended up buying a universal 3” kit from summit. I cut v bands onto the dynatech headers and used dynomax mufflers. Im really happy. Some light tuning ive made 520s just breaking it in. I have a set of ported heads to Go on this winter
We have a 1984 capri rs turbo, wife's dad passed.....he bought new overseas....sitting in garage with 30k....running when parked. Charcoal gray, great shape, complete.....any value? Could it be a show car?
My first car back in the mid 90's was a 86 Capri, bought without an engine for $200 bucks. We went the other direction and put a 2.3 turbo engine out of a wrecked 86 SVO, Super fun car for a 16 year old kid. I've had many Mustangs since but that Capri will always have a special place in my heart, have no idea where it went after i sold it.
Yes, the SVO mustang and TurboCoupe Thunderbirds had factory scoops which went directly into a duct across the intercooler you see between the turbo and intake. Faster you go, the more cooling you get.
Good job putting that SVO engine in the 1979 Capri , the Turbo 2.3 engines put in the 1979 cars was just not reliable and didn’t have an intercooler and because that 2.3 had never been set up to have a turbo “ ford just put a crappy turbo on a non performance 2.3 “ and because it wasn’t set up with performance internals and the turbo wasn’t cooled they broke allot and the turbos didn’t last long, I know because I had one of those crappy 1979 cobra mustangs and what made it a cobra was only the stupid stickers that’s it ! No performance parts at all ! It had like 134 horsepower, pathetic ! ford should be ashamed to have sold those to people ! I got mine for only $400 and it was only 4 years old , the guy who had it was just glad to get rid of it and the turbo went bad on me so I had it for 2 months and I got $1,200 for it and I was happy to get rid of it.
Ahhh so this is were your spending your time Nik. Wondered when you may pick up that old Strat a give us a blast of SRV or Jimi. Missed those days mate
The Godzilla spells the end of the ls because the Godzilla because of the affordable price it will outsell the ls the Godzilla also puts out way better hp capacity because it’s a big block it’s the end of an era this is the rise of the Godzilla
Great Video, I have a similar problem, swapped out new relay fuse and vehicle started several times. Before reverting back to same old issue. Any advice.
Didn't understand most of what you were talking about but that's just me starting out on these trucks. At the moment I'm going to enjoy it before getting into any mods. ✌️🇬🇧

The European version of this engine is 2 ltr. And you have to take the head off to change the camshaft the head has only 3 main bearings and the engine is carburettor
Thanks for posting. I've got a Boport 2.5 that I'll be swapping in (and adding a Pimp ECU, wide band, etc.) this summer. I have a Mercedes-Benz SOHC valve spring compressor that works perfectly on the 2.3. It hooks under the cam and pushes straight down on the retainer.
Make sure when you order this gauge you either order it directly from aeroforce and customize it or if you use lethal performance call in the order. I made the mistake of ordering the one they show online but its for 2011 plus models and believe me it will not work lesson learned here, for some reason they do not have the other options listed on their website for now.
What about if you've replaced fuel hat with pumps, all grounds are good. Replaced all relays, ignition switch map sensor, crank trigger , and so on, still no spark to coils.
@401foxbody that I can do or should I say I can have my son do that it's his truck that we've been trying to figure this out on. After I get the codes, I'll send them to you, and maybe you can give us a little input. And I know you don't know me, but I do appreciate your kindness. It's a shame he's got such a beautiful truck and something like this happens, and it's just sitting.

Hey man. Sorry to hear about the truck. I currently dont have the shop space to get into it. Are you sure the motor is bad? Did it just slip a chain or is it crashed?
