I'm not sure about the automatics, but I know the turboT-5s are stronger (good luck getting your hands on one of those)

1. What plumbing? water and oil?

2. No, its the clutch, in fact many swap over to the WC T5 because it has better bearings

3. No, 84-86 TC are BW, 87-88 are WC, and 87-93 mustangs are WC

Tips:
Have lots of extra money and have another DD

i don't think the difference in strength of a turbo 4 transmission (and looking at the chart, the early tbird T5 is a downgrade) compared to the NA is worth the cost of seeking one, but since you already have it cool, nothing like getting good deals on parts. depending on what ID number you come up with on the transmission, the swap might be completely pointless unless the new transmission is less ragged out than yours. also you have to make sure to have the right speedometer gear for your rear end gearing if your rear end gear ratio was different than the donor car's (well...that's if you want a correct speedometer)

btw as far as i know about "world class" T5's, no 4 bangers got any form of one. only the V8's got them and it started in 85 http://www.moderndriveline.com/Techn...t5_history.htm
as that link says tremec bought the rights to the T5 in 1998 so up until that point all T5's were borg warner i think

World class was used. All the 2.3 mustangs got it. Same with the 87 and later thunder bird turbo coupes. World Class is still a T5, just a different bearings. So they still went by T5

How DIfficult Was your Actual Swap? or you just runnin into problems with the After Effects?

sleeper_inc · 04-07-2008, 06:06 PM

I was just running into issues with the turbo. It blew so my fuel mileage dumped and I also killed my exhaust manifold (3 big cracks...)[&:]

Stang2.3 · 04-08-2008, 01:42 PM

Ouch, Do you know why your turbo blew? or still mystery?

So far not good, dad didn't move the trailer like i asked so i havn't been able to even get started.... kinda pissed

sleeper_inc · 04-08-2008, 04:43 PM

I blew my turbo because it was unbalanced and it starved for oil
