is it feasable to take a 90-93 4cyl and slap a little turbo??? I can't see why not. where are some sites i can go check?

yes you can do it but the motor will not last very long but if you want to try i got a 2.3 manifold and down elbow and a small volvo trubo you can get it all for 75 bucks i need this stuff gone

Plazma is the one you need to talk to.

the n/a block can be made to run a oil line and the pistons and the rods are forged the n/a motor is not going to do well but you can do it ppl have done it to rangers and it works but i would say no more then 7 or 8 psi.In the turbo motor i was running i got 20 psi out of it.

Plazma knows his shit and will help if you ask nice lol and all i got to say is that lil motor is nuts i ran a 10.9 with a blow turbo and no intercooler the motor can make power easy

The blocks are not the same, turbo blocks were cast from Ford's 'truck iron' and contain higher nickel content and are stronger.

Turbo heads have hardened valve seats but otherwise are similar to NA.

Depending upon what year ECU you run, the lower intake manifold may need to be tapped for an intake air temp sensor. Otherwise wiring is pretty straightforward.

Like mentioned already, NA's have cast pistons and untapped blocks, you will probably be ok up to 7-8 lbs but if someone has gone higher and made it last I haven't seen it.

The best site I can think of is turboford.net, however one of the parts guys has a walkthrough on his site for that year stang:
