Hello everyone! My name is Jason, I'm 24, and I just bought a '96 Eagle Talon a couple weeks ago. The engine had a spun bearing and was in generally poor shape. I'm rebuilding it myself and hopefully this site will be a good resource. Thanks in advance to all!

[Boostjunki84]

My 96' spun a rod bearing 4 days after I got it. At the very least make sure to remove the balance shafts and use ARP head studs. Good luck and welcome to tuners.

hi im lloyd i have a 99 gsx eclipse i had it about 2 months now i bought it with 64 thousand miles.thhis is my first all wheel and turbo car i like it so far its all stock it came with a blits bov and a muffler,i also found neon lights underneath took that out immediately..now i put a dejon tool intake with the maf translator..im still trying to figure the rpm tune on it its so confusing i hope detonation dont happen..the only problem i have now is the oil cap its leaking out oil and i put in a new oil cap and i tried to put a o ring on it has anyone else experience this problem???

[noonan98turbo]

I think I can pretty much speak for all us on here, welcome aboard to the money pit of dsm's.

[cougarelimin8or]

Make sure the valve cover itself is ok, check for cracks. There aren't to many valve covers out there anymore for a 4g63 that don't have cracks

[TURBOGSX]

Welcome, pick a path you want and stick to it dont change your mind all the time or the car will never get done. Be realistic in your goal, wants, and needs or this car could consume you. In the end its all worth it!

Thank you for doing that :bowsdown:

[Evil_speedracer]

Welcome! I have a suggestion for you my friend, do a compression test on the engine. Its good to have a baseline for the future if you plan to tune your car.

[Big Doyle]

welcome to the DSM world my friend

[Boosted_out]

Yeah DSMs basically run on weekly deposits of cash, but I still love mine.

[Chrispy0530]

lol, most of my paycheck goes directly to my DSM. But hey, in the end it'll be worth every penny.

Welcome to the DSM World.

[chico904]

Welcome! There is plenty of great information here, try reading a lot of the FAQ's and searching for answers before asking them beacuse there is a good chance that it has been covered elsewhere. And again, welcome!

agreed. it will. DSM is like a black plauge of excellence. you cant get away from it once you buy one. as far as the oil leak, blow by happens on 99% of them. its really hard to get it to stop. i also commend you on removing the neons ()

[webconnect]

Becareful on that 99 engine. Me, and three other people I know (with 99 engines) had the rod bearings fail. Just something to keep in mind.
