Default 2.3L turbo build up- got a few questions-(megasquirt)

hey yall i found a 2.3L 5-speed foxbody for $600 bucks. i was thinking about just getting a new 2.3L Turbo engine and dropping in there just for something different.
little 2.3L are strong as **** and with a good fuel system can kick some ***.

has anyone done this swap on here?


i mainly need info on megasquirt.

1.) can i use megasquirt to just run bigger injectors on this motor?
2.) if just change fully over to megasquirt do i have to start from scratch to start tuning and making adjustments and such or does it come with some sort of basic tune.

You COULD, but why not switch over 100%? Its much easier to tune/control the engine with a single PCM, than two.

1. Yes
2. Either way. Plenty of ford 2.3's running megasquirt so I'm sure you could get a good starting configuration.

www.turboford.net <----- Many 2.3T's running megasquirt
