Hey there, I need some help understanding/deciding on a few things. I have a 93 with the 2.3, dual spark head. Bone stock as of posting.
Now I'll be the first to admit I'm in a little over my head, but what I stand to gain is worth the effort.
I'm looking to get a standalone ECU going as it will make a turbo setup 900% easier. I have been eyeing up the PIMPx from Stinger (PIMPx link), but I don't know how/if I can keep my stock gauge cluster working. I'm also unsure if I need to, or will need to, use the replacement harness for it (Harness link).
I have 2 different turbo kits in mind, just not sure which would be the best option. I also don't know where to tap for feed/drain lines. Turbo Kit 1 Turbo Kit 2
For right now, just looking to run 5-7 psi to break into the triple digits, like 140ish. Later, once I've ironed out the kinks in my setup, I'll be throwing in pistons and rods, and pushing 12-14 psi for 200ish hp.
I have a 7.5 L/S, will be swapping to an 8.8 before I do big power.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
