Wow that's sick, way to go man, I couln't build a motor if my life depended on it,

 

Thanks for the compliments The car was a blast to drive, and knowing I built the engine myself makes it even better.

However I traded the car in on a really clean 01 Ford Lightning. I have always wanted a lightning and I figured this was my chance to get one, and I was getting tired of getting attention from the popo simply because I was driving a bright yellow car with a big spoiler. Plus I still have my Talon with a built 2.4L and upgraded everything else.

 

2 Ford trucks and no EVO =

 

I suppose your the typical ricer who thinks any vehicle made by a US car company is junk

Acutally I just sold the 93 F150 for twice what i paid for it

Talon and Lightning - Boosted and Blown

 

thats a good job there....

 

The pics were great, you made it look so easy.

 

Anything new to report with the car? More mods? Keep us all up to date!

Nice diy.

 

man thats sweet. im planning on building my motor like this. im trying to build an autoX torque monster. this time next year is when i hope to be done. definatly will be using this thred.

great job. With cams/valvetrain upgrade and a balanced rotating assmbly how high do you think you could rev it? id leave it at 7000 on the stock turbo but once i go to a green i want to take it to about 7700 - 8k do you think it could stand up to it?

 

I just finished dropping my 2.3L a few hours ago and called it a day for now. People may criticise you for selling it, but if it makes you feel any better I'm thinking of selling mine as well and building a boosted IS300 or a turbo GTO. I owned it for only a few months before a main bearing let loose. I got so pissed that I lost interest it.

 

Beautimus!!! must be nice to have the time and knowledge, and oh yea, the tools!! I would love to work that. Guess I'll just stick to jet engines??

 

NIce Work
