Hey, I've got a stock 1986 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and I'm looking for some mods to do to it. It can be anything, suspension, engine, really anything. I don't know too much about it, as I'm learning. Anything would be helpful, thanks!
Check out coolcats.net , just to do some reading and get the basics figured out. Come back with questions.
Congrats and welcome.
What are easier things I can do to get more power out of it? I've got a 2.5in exhaust with no cat and high flow ler already.
Boost controller, intercooler, big vam swap.
What is and where do I get a bigger vam?
Vam is the vane air meter, like a mass airflow sensor. The big vam came on 87-88 Turbo Coupes. You would need the matching computer and you should already have the brown top injectors if your car is an 86. The 87-88 manual cars are rated at 190 horsepower, so adding the vam, computer, and intercooler are worth quite a bit of power for the earlier cars. E6 exhaust manifold helps too if your car doesn't have one already.
Is your car a slush-o-matic or do you row your own gears?
