How to make 300+ hp out of a f2t

[probe this]

I sent you a PM. Not sure if I can make it but it'd be fun.

i'd be excited to see the 12-second Probe come up to Winnipeg. i could see how the new ZE with nitrous in the 323 would hold up.

what is the final drive in the first-gen tranny?

this kinda power outta a f2t is no surprise.... or secret.
Just look at what turbo ford 2.3s do with that same turbo and 350cc.
Running rich is robbing you ..... can only get better tho.
civics make 300+ with exactly the same turbo
spray a 50shot on any 16G or t3 equipped f2t, and you'll fly

I would think the stock pistons and rods are good for 300+whp, no ?
some Toyota 3TC turbo guys run cheap mazda b2000 oe pistons in their motors, and boost the sh1t outta them.

Gear calculator

It shows with stock tires a .711 5th gear, and final ratio of 4.105.

no whats the compression of your pistons. Are they stock gt compression?

very nice numbers, my car used to make 271 whp at 17 psi on pump gas, before it run too lean on the dyno and damage the head, instead of spending more money in another head i am doing the conversion to a f2t head and a bigger turbo

I'm not positive on what they are, but they should be 8.5:1

so u must spool quickly with the t3 and everything ported.very nice setup keep us updated on when u get some more spray.

Hello guys!!

It seems that it isn't that damn hard to make your f2t produce about 250-300hp!? or is it?
Is forged pistons a must when you have about 250-300hp?
What a about the transmission? clutch? does it need alot of modifying?
greetings from Sweden!!
bye..

sorry to bring back but can someone answer the person above me's question.

I'm curious too as I have already bought a bigger turbo (toyota ct 26, selling it for t3/t4 probably) fpr, fuel pump, and waiting for fmic and custom exhaust mani etc. etc..

Wow, awesome numbers! for rocking the F2T! FE3 what???

Realistically, it isn't that hard to make the 250-300hp, but it does cost money, which most people on this board doesn't have much of. It also takes time, tuning and knowledge of a vehicle. You probably don't have to have forged pistons to make the power, but it will allow you to run it more safely without blowing the motor. The transmission holds, but with anything with more power you'll probably break it once in a while. Definately have to have a stronger clutch than the factory one. The factory one barely holds with only 200hp or so.
