1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
2.3 fuel injected turbo, 18-20lbs of boost with Gillis valve, walbro 255 lph fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, K&N air filter, 4 wheel disk brakes with 8.8 inch rear end, 3.55 Trac lock, functional hood scoops going to a top mount intercooler, 5 speed manual, Motegi rims. She’s not much but she’s all I got.

Has the 2.3 been nice to you? I’m planning a shopping list for a project car :)
She’s been amazing lol. If you’re going 2.3t though you’re gonna need head gaskets and Jack stands lol they’re old so they have their problems but they’re impossible to destroy. When you start modding them you have to get stronger head gaskets.
Nice turbo coupe, what kinda mpg do you get with it? I’ve been debating either this or a supercoupe to use as a daily so I can rest my mustang when the built motor goes in
Before I did my mods it was high 20’s. But if you tune them right with your mods people get the same mileage. I honestly don’t know much about the super coupe sorry. Personally I’d get this. Comfy as hell lol. Plus these motors are bulletproof up 450 hp.
Cool, I have one of these as a parts car to breathe some more life into my 87 cougar XR-7. Gonna put the beefy 8.8 behind my 5.0 and get much more out of my pushrod V8. Also I like the hoodscoops and I am totally putting that hood on my cat!
