Thunderbird Turbocoupe
 
how much PSI does the Turbocoupe supercharger put out, and how much of a HP increase does it add to the 3.8 motor?

I think its like 8PSI or somthing, and its probally only going to add 50HP. And I think becuase you have a singleport its going to take a lot of modifications to get it to work right.

Wasnt the turbo coupe a 4cyl? Should be the same as the SVO. They had a Supercoupe after 86' the the supercharged 3.8. Might be able to swap something from that. The turbocoupe would have no interchangeable parts.

Yeah 2.3l turbo 4 cylinder (1983-1989)and a 3.8l supercharger 6cylinder(?). Ford never made a turbo 6

the turbocoupe i want to swap from, is from the 93 ish Thunderbird, which had the exact 3.8 motor the Mustang does. it only has on different heads, and a supercharger. all i gotta do is get the wiring, S/C, intake, and all that, and swap. ...the problem is...is finding one.... o.O
