Right, so, technically most of everything I planned for this build is done, but because I know I'm going to keep going until I blow the motor (and then probably still keep going) I thought it was worth putting a thread together.
I started off with a cheap 93 fwd talon Es, non turbo, got the car cheap from a friend and decided why not slap a turbo in there....
Initially I just wanted it to be something I could take to the track and beat the crap out of, but, the more I worked on it the more it grew on me, so I ended up selling my other car and kept this as my daily. After reading through a few other build threads I figured I'd go simple and use mostly stock turbo stuff.
For now all I've done is thrown in the 14b turbo, a probably overkill front mount intercooler, knockoff greddy bov, 3 inch gm maf with a maf translator, turbo back exhaust, removed the non functioning ac, removed all rear interior, added hood pins just because I had a set. For added safety of my engine, as it is the non turbo motor, I added an aem wideband and a boost gauge.
I also grabbed a set of evo 8 recaros that I hope to make fit sometime soon.
I'll keep adding to this as I do more work, but for now it looks like I really need a stronger clutch and better tires. I'm having trouble adding pictures at the moment so I'll add those and further details in a bit,
