Turbocharging System: Description

The Ford Motor Co. turbocharging system is used on the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine. The system includes a small turbocharger, increased cooling system capacity, larger fuel tank and numerous engine modifications. Internal engine components such as bearings, pistons, lubrication system and valves have been strengthened or upgraded to withstand the additional power output. An ignition modification retards spark when the turbocharger is boosting intake pressure, avoiding detonation.
