Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #32 – February 21, 2008, 10:26:02 PM Quote from: Thunder Chicken;205533How would you cool the exhaust? Does your Volvo inboard have wet manifolds?Interesting you should ask.I was wondering if I took the cover off (over the engine compartment) and ran the factory cast iron turbo manifold, would that keep the manifold cool enough?I have seen guys with V-8s and headers that are not water cooled do it. And the engine would get more air than in the car.Anyway, the sweet sound of a turbo engine under full boost would be so cool while cruising with a tube out back.:D Quote Selected

Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #34 – February 21, 2008, 10:36:26 PM I had an '83 Chevette .... til I rolled it through some smaller aspen trees several times. Oddly enough, 2 days later at the lot, I fired it up and drove it away. So I second the vote on a Chevette. Quote Selected

Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #41 – February 22, 2008, 08:34:06 PM Oldraven: There's one of those Sevens running around in Sackville. It's powered by a 2.3, but not turbocharged. You can't appreciate how low to the ground those cars are until you pull up next to one in a T-Bird. The thing reminds me of Barny Rubble's car. Looks fun to drive tho... Quote Selected
Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #42 – February 22, 2008, 10:21:52 PM Nice. I saw a review of one some time ago, and the guy said it was the only car he'd driven that he could have the palm of his hand on the asphalt, and his arse in the seat.... comfortably. I would have to drive it with a helmet. It would be like driving a bike to work, but I'd bet way more fun!:burnout: Quote Selected

Where would you stuff a 2.3T? Reply #44 – February 23, 2008, 07:07:35 PM After the "Seller's regret" thread, I was just thinking a 2.3t and a T5 would be a hell of a lot of fun in a '79 pinto. Maybe a nice baby blue enamel with a white vinyl top and granny cloth seats, 14" wheels and hubcaps, nice quiet exhaust... Yeah, that'd be fun. :) Quote Selected
