Ok so I can't wait to get my turbo setup done here. I'm planning on rebuilding an 87 thunderbird 2.3. I have an la3 ecu for it. My truck is a 95 ranger. I'll be doing a complete engine swap with the tbird 2.3.I Have a bunch of questions. Help me out! No clue if it's obd I or II.
1.) wiring. Will the tbird wiring harness connect to my cruise control stuff? Which harness best suits my project?
2.) I don't think I have every one of the sensors for the tbird. What all goes before the turbos inlet? I have the stock intercooler that sits on top of the engine. Besides MAF, what am I missing? All the sensors in the stock airbox and stuff. What are they?
3.) what transmission (auto/5spd) is the la3 made for?
4.) what are the lines leading from compressor to intercooler and back to compressor for?
5.) I kinda want to use my 10:1 8 plug head with the better ignition. How the heck is that possible? The forged internals can take a beating so I'm thinking max compression. And better ignition.
6.) how can I tell obd I or II? Does it matter?
