The future
I loved those 2.2 turbo half pints. I suprised plenty of 5.0 mustang owners with mine. I ran an MP computer, plus 20 siemens injectors, larger 2.5" exhaust with a walker dynomax muffler. Cut the wastegate tube and ran it thru a fishtank valve to get the boost up higher right to the edge of overboost shutdown. Found out later i could blind the MAP with a 4.7V zener diode so computer would never see past 14 lbs of boost. Thats when the fun starts with autometer EGT, boost, and air fuel gages, along with an adjustable FPR. If built right, an 8 valve 2.2 turbo intercooled setup with all forged internals can easily make 300-350 hp on the street. I had actually seen the twin cammed ones hit 450 hp at the wheels on a dyno. Heres the fully ported 300hp screamer, with stainless steel wire o ringed block i built for my second 88 Z. Its pickled with mercury marine storage oil, and everything taped up. Best cam to use is a Dodge Dakota 2.5L roller cam. Looks stone stock doesnt it lol. I am all about sleepers. Its also got a Garrett T3T4 hybrid turbo.
