Ford TempoThe Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994. It was the successor to the Ford Fairmont, and was replaced in 1994 by the Ford Contour. The Tempo was part of a rejuvenation by Ford to offer more environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and more modern styled models to compete with the imports.
No, this kit is designed for the 2.3 SOHC that was equipped in Pintos, Mustangs, Rangers, and other various RWD Fords. The 2.3 HSC was placed in the Tempo. These two engines are completely different animals.
The turbo itself would probably work in your application, but the header and ducting is completely different than what you need.
The turbo would probably work fine. I'd reccomend contacting Turbonetics on getting a properly sized turbo. I'd almost be a T3 housing would be right for you though. Turbonetics Inc. | Home | Home
Well they'll get you pointed in the right direction. They'll point out which housings you'll need, what fuel upgrades, camshaft, and other miscellaneous odds and ends you'll need.
absoutly, except the manafold will not bolt up to the head.
honestly if youve got some cahce lying around and reallly wnana get boosted, your absoutoulte best bet would be to buy this kit or sumthing liek it, then have a GOOD shop fabricate the upper part of that manafold to fit. they would need the upper part of a o.e.m. header. it not impossible but its gona cost a lil bit.
the other option is to junk the cast iorn exhaust manafold that alreadt weigh's a grip and get one of the few out there custom performance headers, a 2 piece and have the flange of your turbo fabed to fit.
you may also want to look into a hso cam has a little more lift and quite a bit more duration, would help alot if you were gona try and jam boost through there.
last an hso head, features a better designed cmb chamber slightly bigger ports and a bigger exhaust valve, take that and get ohc valves for a 2.3 have the head machined to fit them well and then throw that on there.
if you can find a cfi hso head 86-88 they were designed even better than the mpfi ones made for an almost 22hp increase over the base model hsc head for the cfi cars it was the best and rarest inbetween heads made for these cars, you wil need to modify the intake manafold to fit it if you have a mpfi system.
hso heads can be found on alot of the gls lts and xr5 models sumtimes in the base model t/t's as well but there real identifying mark is the "ford performance" valve cover
