The engine: 2.3L 2300cc Duratec
shootin for: 350hp/350TQ using a Holset hx30 turbo with an redline of 7k
mod list:

ported head
1.5mm bigger intake valve
2mm bigger exhaust valve
Crane stg 2 cams & springs/retainers
adjustable cam gears
Cosworth ITM
eagle connecting rods
Supertech pistons
ARP head & main studs
ford ranger crank keyed with the Cosworth keyed sprocket
Aluminum flywheel
clutch masters FX400
tubular turbo manifold
Holset hx30 turbo

Cool build! I'm always more interested in the builds that are out of the main stream. (how hard is it to build a small/big block ford)

The holsets are pretty cool turbos but they don't move a lot of air at low psi in a restrictive system. With the porting you are talking about I hope it will make the numbers you want at low boost levels. My hx35-40 took 35psi to make big numbers.

Keep us updated.

thats what im shooting for but more of hitting full boost at a lower RPM.

Might change turbos to a Holset hx30 for a quicker spool but still hang on the hy35.
