okay I did use the sticky christian made, but it didnt tell me detailed specs. so I went and took a pic of the thing on my door for you guys that know what these numbers and letters mean help me break it down...I just want to know that axel I have and my gears



and what I found funny was the listed HP was 98 now its prolly 105 , and it came from EDISON, NJ

 

86


open 7.5"


2750


3.73

 

Thanks Jeff, so I got good gears eh?

 

for mpg i guess. They're nothin special.

/pimps his 4.10s hard

 

ive got the same on my 4cyl. its a good balance for it, till you put bigger tires on it. but thats why they make 4.56's. :D

 

the one thing that just sux is the 98 HP I want like 150 or 240 HP what will the turbo upgrade get me?

cause 98 aint S****

 

wait, 98rwhp? or just in the engine?.... i bet the turbo would give you like 50hp or so maybe...

 

prolly engine I guess..but ive done some stuff...intake and exhaust

man even those SCION's have 110 or more

 

If Scions were around in 1993, they would probably have less than 98 hp. Technology has changed a little over the last 13 years.

My truck's engine is from the same family of engines as yours...it just has a slightly larger displacement. It produced 119 hp stock. That's not terrible for a SOHC 4-cyl first introduced over 30 years ago.

If it makes you feel better, my parents had a 1986 Ranger Super Cab with a whopping 90 hp. It never went anywhere fast. Chances are it never went over 70 MPH while my parents had it though.

 

yea the 2.3 dohcs make like 140 or something, jsut under my 3.0

 

well I've had mine up at 85 MPH sounded fine...so I could turbo it and get 4.10 gears would it be about like a 4.0 supercharged?

 

get a 5.0 instead :)

 

It might be like an NA SOHC 4.0L. IIRC, factory turbo-charged Lima engines made anywhere from 190 - 210 hp depending on the car they were installed in.

Keep in mind that the turbo 2.3s had slightly different internals so they could hold up to the boost. It might be best to just buy an entire Super Coupe parts car or something...or at least the entire engine...if you want to go that route. You can put a turbo on your current engine, but one built from the factory to handle the turbo will likely last longer.

 

well I thought about it this is no race vehicle i just wanna be lil more faster in traffic cause I'm gonna be going to college and with the 3.73 It does horrible in traffic, slow take off etc...I'm thinking 4:10 ratio anyone have a link to them?

 

id just keep it where its at, I doubt you will notice that much of a gain for as much as you will pay for the gears and to pay to install them or the time it takes to install them for such a minor gain the price ration just doesnt seem right unless your bed is full of money...
