In this episode of HOT ROD Garage, hosts Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa set out to transform a completely original 1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, which boasts a modest 150 horsepower, into a modern performance machine. Can they boost the capabilities of this 80s engine using cutting-edge turbo technology? Will the 2.3L Pinto engine be able to compete with the latest Ford 2.3 Ecoboost? Tune in to find out! The duo will upgrade it with high-flow manifolds, a dual ball bearing turbo, a large intercooler and exhaust, along with a powerful new computer to manage everything.
