Ok so i just got a 94 2.3l 2wd 5 spd. i was wonderin if there are some junk yard parts i can swap on and gain some power. maybe larger injectors? dohc swap if theres one available, cam out of larger displacement 4banger? im just looking for more power with junk yard parts. any help is appreciated.

 

Yea find a 302 and drop it in lol. That will give you more power AND you can find it in the JY.

 

woot woot for the mother loving 5ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

 

lol i dont wanna swap in a new motor. just open her up a little bit. i was thinkin about re gearing the rear end a little lower gears cuz its soooo hard to get into 5th on the HWY.

 

well lowing the diff. gear ratio in the back will help make the engine move the rear wheels easier, so should save on gas mileage

 

I have the same truck, I went with a 95 head with a 94 cam keep the 95 followers increases lift to 0.443, cold air intake made with a volvo intercooler pipe, relocated ect to cylinder block, make 1" spacer for thermostat housing with 3/4 pipe bung for heater hose 205 degree thermostat, electric fan, gut the cat and get a flowmaster, relocate the act to intake tube, throttle body spacer, 4:10 explorer rear end. 17lb. injectors from a G.M v6, I think thats all, runs strong, gets about 25-27 mpg. hope this helps. and gasket match head and intake.

 

Go get a turbo 2.3.

Bam, opened up. Direct swap.

Want tourque? Get a 5.0.

 

I'm building a turbo 2.3 right now, with a 75 shot of nos it will have plenty of torque!!!!

 

How much horsepower does the stock 2.5l make? Mine is a 97.

 

they didnt have the 2.5 in 97 came out in 98...they had the 2.3
