That 2.3 looks like my '88 Accord. Enough vacuum hoses to choke Anna Nicole.

I think we might attempt this swap...my brother's Zetec popped that piston and we had planned on just dropping in another Zetec, but this looks like a fun project. Might just have to wait till the wallet recovers from the 3.0 project first  ...

Can I have one? I make sure it goes to good use.

But I just found this...the big turbo wouldn't be too big for this...maybe we'll do this with the contour .
That's the 1000hp 2.3L mazdaspeed drag car  .
Put the big one in the T-bird!

I'd like to, but I'm sorta poor right now and it would take alot of head work and a header just to get enough exhaust energy to spin the damn thing. Plus the tbird is my daily driver, I'm not shure how streetable a car is that has 100hp from 1000rpm to 4500rpm then immediately jumps straight up to 350+...It would make dry pavement seem like ice .
