here is a pic of my build. Im getting the cage done to it, I dont have a journal here since I want to post it all once its done.

btw I was going to get a conquest before I got my talon but I decided not to since the market for performance is mostly dead unless.... 4G63 swap! LOL

Thats all I got for now. I was hoping to get more done the last week but the clutch in my impreza went out. Ill share a few pics took me an a buddy two hours to pull it pretty easy as this was my first subaru trans.

So im contemplating STI swap but thats another story...:confused:

Thanks for checking in.
 
Nice to see another semi local- don't know how I missed this. I've got 5 dsms down in Casa Grande. 2 awd swapped spyders, 2 awd 90's, and then my GVR4. Let me know if you want a hand with your build!
 
STI swap it man, then get on to that Starion mmm RWD goodness!

Im on the edge about it but its hard haulting a project an picking up another an running with it. Trust me tho I would love a STI swap in my impreza I would want to drive it just as much as my DSMs. :hellyeah: Haha the starquest will get there its at the bottom of the list tho... but they save the best for last!

Since the clutch on my impreza when out getting it back together an runing is at the top of the todo list. I went with the STI swap orderd a front JDM clip an started the fun.

My car came with a ASC sunroof if you don't know what this is its a upgraded sunroof that some dealerships offered. Sounds sweet right? Wrong finding parts for this thing was ridiculous! I found a guy in California that does have SOME parts for theses things kinda pricey if you need that info feel free to PM.

Hey Dsmtuners im bringing this build thread back from the dead! I know I have been gone for way to long an have neglected my poor talon but work an life has been busy an had its ups an downs.

I have made a few change of plans on the car...
- sold the PTE 6252 and DNP manifold, I will be using a 20g an FP manifold
- swapped out the rear AFCO arms for Ingall arms
- I will be pulling the trans an pulling out the quartermaster twin disc


I swapped out the rear arms the other day, the trans will be pulled in the next week or so. Here's a few pics of how the car currently looks.

Not sure why the pics are so small ill mess with it later. It feels good to be back an I cant wait to get this turd running!
 
I'm using ProEFI, Fuel lab FPR, FIC 1650cc, wally 255, 93 octane. Not by choice, ProEFI was in the car when I bought it. Thankfully my local tuner 3DMotorsports is good with it.

I don't think I have heard of ProEFI, how comparable is it to DSMlink? Sounds pretty similar but i have 1200cc injectors an only 91 octane out in the west coast. There is a gas station about 10 miles away with 100 octane at the pump but $10.99 a gallon.
 
You finish the Sti swap? Why did you change control arms?

Yes the STI swap was finished, I destroyed 3 motors an a transmission in less then 1500 miles. Spent about $10k after all the motors an trans an ended up selling the money pit for $5600. I was done dumping money in to it an that's one reason the purple talon has been on hold for so long. On a side not the EJ20G STI pulled like a mofo an was a blast to drive when it was up an running.
 
Hello every one! I had some free time the other day so my buddy JJ an I decided to pull the trans an clutch on my talon. I think im going to go with a Act 2600 pp an 4 puck disc with a Act light weight flywheel. Im still indeisiveness on what clutch an pp to use, any input on this subject would help aiming for 400-475hp. Any ways to the good stuff the pics.

I picked up some STI 17" BBS's a few weeks back for stupid cheap tossed one on to see if I like it.
