2. What turbo timer would you recomed, i have been eyeing the greedy one but please advise as i have never owned a turbo before.

thank you

One other thing if something is made for the 1991 eclipse gs-t or gsx can it be used on a 1991 talon tsi ? that would solvve alot of my questions

 

[DMS-WhiteGSX]

Yes, the parts are interchangeable. I really like the blitz fatt, or the hks type o.

Also, alot of the parts ARE interchangeable, however, there are parts that arent, like the exhausts (fwd vs awd, not eclipse vs talon)

apexi autotimer
has batt volt, air/fuel, and o2 volt built in and its small

1. Short shifter , TEL stand for Talon, Eclipse, Laser. Try replacing that dildo with a shift knob from either a Mirage or 2G TEL, it'll shorten ~1.5".
2. Using a base model GReddy TT, it get the job done, am saving $ for the new Apexi, it also read O2 voltage = air/fuel ratio.
3.Most interior & under hood parts are interchangable, most cosmetic parts aren't interchangable.

-What does the AD mean?

 

[InferiorWang]

he probabbly meant AWD

 

[CL MaNTis GST]

get the HKS type 1... i got it, and words like a charm... has tons of features

 

[eclipsegs96]

Well i know you all willl go crazy but i am buying the car for a daily driver to get my NT off the road to start really working on it. I need the AWD for commuting in snow and such so i am looking for just something too make the turbo last longer. Not going to mod the hell out of it.

Yes AD stood for AWD as i was having a bad night when i typed it.

I have a shift knob from a 2g in my Laser. It works great. Much more comfortable than the banana.

where can i find a service manual on this car and not the haynes or chilton, i mean the actual dealer service manual ?

 

[Hobbes =^.^=]

1) B&M Short shifter

2) Apexi TT

Try asking the your local dealer about the service manual. They may have some for sale, or could order one for you. Other then that, I wouldnt really know. Hope this helps.

-Back-up manual is alot cheaper, have every thing the OEM manual have and then more. I paid $60 for the 2 volumn set manual from the dealer.

 

[eclipsegs96]

I thought eagle went out of business ? what dealership would have the manual for a 1991 talon tsi awd ?

 

[LAZPNO]

On the short throw shifter: B&M makes one that works great on the 1g cars. Normally runs about $210 and should only take about an hour and a half to install if you know what you are doing. Oh, and if you have happen to have seen The Fast and The Furious (like you haven't.), the shifter used in the DSM in that movie is a B&M shifter and most likely, your's will also make that *clink* sound.

 

[eclipsegs96]

i just checked b & m's website and they have nothing listed. do you have any links ? and once again where do i buy the service manual from eagle as i thought they went out of business ?

 

[eclipsegs96]

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED TO GET A MANUAL FOR YOUR 1991 TALON TSI AWD you can call dyment distribution in ohio phone number is 1-800-890-4038, they also have owners manuals if they interest you.

 

[Kevin Jewer]

Well since the TSI and GST/X are the EXACT same cars, you can go to mitsu for a manual right?

 

[eclipsegs96]

i would think so, but the tsi awd would be the same as the gsx not the gs-t, only difference being that tsi and gsx are all wheel drive and the gs-t is front wheel drive.

 

[Kevin Jewer]

The manuals cover both the GSX and GST, which means it covers the TSI AWD and TSI.

 

[eclipsegs96]

okay then, that is good to know, now my last question, did not want to start a new thread for this, but WHERE CAN I FIND AN INTAKE FOR A 1991 TALON TSI AWD ? I am going crazy looking for one but can not find anything. again if it fits a 1991 gs-t or gsx it will work on a talon of the same year ?

sorry but this has been driving me crazy for the whole day now.

-Try the part trader.com, I'm 99% sure that the JDM Cyclone manifold will fit, need some one to verify, the Cyclone mani is cheaper but it's illegal here in Ca, not sure about your state, last option is http://www.msrecycling.com/ they are expensive but always has them.

 

[eclipsegs96]

I AM SORRY I DID NOT Mean intake manifold i just meant an intake aem, injen and such

 

[Kevin Jewer]

Since none of the manufactures offer the typicall cold air intakes and such, you basically just get an open element filter tat replaces the stock airbox. The most widely accepted version is the K&N FIPK. For a 2g its about 90 dollars. Check with the various vendors for other (usually more expensive) options.
