Hello everyone, this will be an in depth build of a 92 eagle talon tsi. The car was owned by my best friend who passed away from cancer. It has been sitting uncovered, and the engine was removed about 4 years ago. Moisture has found its way into the car so there is mold on the leather and I'm sure connectors are corroded throughout the car.
A little about the car that I know of from years ago and talking with my friends father. The engine seized after an oil change led to the oil cooler housing loosing and after a long drive to vacation the engine was toast. only useable parts of the short block was the block itself. After further inspection the car is a 6bolt/4bolt setup has arp head studs aftermarket cams ( unknown of type or spec), 16g turbo, upgraded maf.
box of parts:
My plans for the car are to go over the entire car a restore and rebuild with more performance in mind. I'd like to get the car running first and use the spare block for a 400hp build thru a 5speed. Eventually if HP gets upgraded I will upgrade to an auto as that is what my friend would have wanted to do with it. I'm sure the car will see more then the street as I like to drag race but would like to get into rally, and road racing. I look forward to getting the car to my house and go over it.
