Legacy Member
My turbo Ford Tempo drag car.
goal to run low 13sec or high 12secs
I may do some track days with SAE lapping club with it.
Here is a few pics of a 1987 Ford tempo 2 door.
[BODY PICS]
I will be turboing a 2.3L I plan on making close to 300hp and about the same torque.
a bit on the set up. since this is a different kind of project my curent plain will change with time
that is something I know from boost nunbers to hp nnber wil be deferent in the real world and even for
parts placement I will be working on that for a long time relocating parts here and there so if you see
a pics with a part at a different spot from pic to pic well don't worry I'M still trying stuff out.
so here a list of the parts and set up.
[ENGINE PICS]
1988 Ford 2.3L block stock I'M not going to touch it for now.
new turbo just a cheap ebay turbo payed about 200$ was a good deal
[TURBO PICS]
I will get some new injectors to be able to make over 300hp the injectors I have
now would need to run at 100% duty to make 300hp so that could give me problems if I try to boost
a bit more.
I will be using the stock lower and upper intake runners but I will port and cut them for
better flow. and doing it my self saves me a few dollars.
fuel pump walbro 255lph new in the box . so this is done and should not have any problems with fuel.
I will be getting a kirban ajustable fuel regulator. with the boost I want to make I will need to run
about 45 to 50psi of fuel presure.
the exaush will be custom I work has a mechanic in a muffler shop and I will make my self a 3" fromt to back
pipe with no muffler so i will have all the flow and need and then some.
all my IC pipes will be made at the shop too why not we have all the tools to do it .
[IC PIPES]
all for cornners I will be using KYB-GR2 shocks struts and coil overs
[COIL OVER PIC]
Blow of vavle is just a ebay bov.
[PICS BOV]
I will run my vane air flow meter in a push setup to make the tuning ezzyer and to hel pamke it run better
since the bov will let the air out before the its calculated by the computer it will help in the tuning and
will make my work ezzyer and faster.
[MASS PICS]
now for the tranny . the tranny is built and should take 650hp I will never go up there
with my curent setup so I will not worry about droping tranny gears on the track.
I have a MTX3 tranny with 3.33 final gears. all the gears have been cryo treated to be more solid
its not like I could have ordered a tranny that was readdy to drop in from a speed shop no one races or turbos Tempos but me.
well may be 1 or 2 more. I have a phantom grip lock diff in it it will give me more tracktion out of the hole on the drag strip
[TRANNY PICS]
Axels are custom made axels that should be able to take 650hp
[AXELS PICS]
now for the body well its all strip to the bone when you see the pics you will see im serious about this and not a jackstan racer
I have lots of time and cash invested in this car and engine setup. all the bumpers have been gutted out the car and engine will
be about 2400lbs to 2500lbs readdy to race so that should help me get better times, the car has instaled a drag roll gage I know that at the speed I will be running
I don't need one for most drag track but the gage is the for me for my protection. and a nice racing seat.
and 5 point belts. side door windows are lexan . and all doors are gutted out.
now the pain is white its not the best pain job but its clean and it wont make people paint and laught.
[BODY PICS LOTS]
