Car is currently being parted out. Im trying to get rid of the body with the rear end wheels and everything. If anybody wants it, its in good shape and the interior is in pretty good shape also. I have a couple for sale ads up with parts and info, but I think it is starting to eat a bearing...

I had the keyway on the crank mess up a couple times but thats all fixed. Its making about 22lbs, I havent tried to turn it up or mess with it because I have to have something to drive. Hopefully the neon will be finished up today and the weather will cool down so I can mess with the talon a bit.

Just a little update on this project. I have been daily driving the car in 90+degree weather for about a week now since I am doing some upgrading on the srt-4. Car cranks first time everytime, and hasn't given me any problems other then a couple exhaust housing bolts backing out. I've been...

Everythings for sale if the price is right.

Ive been messing with it a little bit but just havent really had the time or the money for a while. It ran a 14.1@101 last sunday on low boost and a 2.2 sixty foot with a ton of boost leaks. Now that the weather is finally cooperating around here I might try and get it on a dyno.

Got everything together and working. Ive just been waiting for decent weather due to this winter storm. Hopefully I can get a video or something together this weekend, weathers supposed to be clear and in the 50's.

Turbonetics 62-1 that I got off a fox body.On a good note after the lifter upgrade and the 272 cams the car seems to be running well. Time to get in a little tuning and button up everything.

Did a leak down test and I think the car has a couple bent valves so I am pulling the head today and hopefully with have it running 100% for the first time in about 3 weeks.

Little update, Ive been between jobs but Im back on track now. Finished buttoning up some loose ends on my srt-4 daily driver and now that the weathers cool and all that is done I can get back on the talon. Plans are to hopefully have it done by the 16th of this month and ready to make some runs.

I think Im going with the 90 amp vr4 alternator for now.

Well back to square 1. I pressure tested it to 20psi and everything is good but the car wont make over 7psi.

Im not sure, like I said it had got to about 15 in first but was sputtering a bit cause the a/f was low 10's then it blew the pipe on the 1-2 shift. I will know later today.Turned it up to about 20psi and the alternator died while I was tuning on it today. Ugh

UPS didnt drop the comp off til pretty late, did some part throttle and idle adjustments and it drives and runs like a dream. Went for a pull from first gear and it made about 15psi and was pretty rich when I shifted and blew an intercooler pipe off. It was getting dark so I'm going to put it...

Another update. Took the car for a spin and everything went well until the computer started acting up. I sent it back to ecmlink and they said they were sorry for overlooking the messed up socket in it the first time I sent it back and they fixed the socket for free and it should be back today...

Well I borrowed a turbo and went to crank it up and it was acting really funny. After closer inspection the crank key had cracked the timing had retarded a lot. After fixing that which it took a bit to figure out the issue I had to take the borrowed turbo back off cause my friend needed it...

Got it back up and running after a few issues.

It rained out the event yesterday.

pm'd

No its leaking air where the compressor housing bolts to the center section. No oil leaks.

I leak tested it after the turbo and everything seemed fine, I did notice while testing it that where the compressor housing meets the center section it is leaking. Leaking bad, so I blue rtv'd all the way around it. I checked all the bolts and they were all tight so IDK why it would be leaking...

put the leak tester on the inlet of the turbo, hit it with the air compressor to about 15psiI did, spins free and the fins arent bent or hitting anything. Its been rainy here lately so I havent messed with it since saturday.

Drives like a charm, just pulls like a n/a 2.0.I did a comp test and it was all 170-175 but I havent checked the timing yet, the intake mani had a crack on the top but thats been fixed from way before this issue and I have checked the bottom too to no avail, wouldnt a cracked mani cause the...

bout a week, hadn't really finished it enough to drive it all the time due to starter and alt problems

I'm just so at a loss with it. It goes from 25psi, to popping a pipe off, to no boost at all. It blows my mind, and this isnt my first turbo car so I do know a good bit but still cant get it.

The turbo has been professionally taken apart and checked so that can't be the issue.And I took the wastegate apart and checked it out even though its a brand new tial 44 and it seemed fine, looks like its never opened since the dump tube isn't showing any exhaust soot in it.

I havent counted, but it would take one hell of a leak for the car to make no boost with the wastegate line unhooked. I mean the turbo would just keep spooling. The car runs exactly the same with and without one of the intercooler pipes hooked up. Its the strangest thing.

Car runs good, drives good. Now to my problem, the car will not make boost. I have leak tested it to no end, had the turbo professionally check and ok'd, redone vaccum lines every way you can think, cranked the controller all the way up, check the bov, taken apart the wastegate and checked it...

car might be up for sale or trade soon

Brad we are headed to coastal tomorrow if you want to head up. I know its a bit short notice, but let me know when you do decide to head out with it.

Yea I think I have the piping issue worked out, I took the turbo off and inspected it and its good to go so Im going to put it back on and get back to trying to figure out my issue.

Yea I mean like I said, big journal bearing, decent sized stall, full weight car, its all about getting it off the line and keeping the intercooler pipes on.

Well this car is my first stalled auto, I was having serious boost leak issues, and it was on low boost. Not trying to make excuses or anything like that, just a big journal bearing turbo + no nitrous + my inexperience with automatic cars, piled on top of the leaks and stuff. This sunday...

I mean other then having to order the elbow for the piping and replacing a leaky exhaust manifold gasket the tune seems to be the only thing that is lacking at this point.

Took the car out to try and get bugs out of it, blew intercooler pipes everytime I upped the boost. Couldnt get the car out of the hole at all. The only cleanish pass I got out of it was on 15psi.rt .86 60' 2.94 330 7.88 1/8 11.2 74.9mph 1/4 16.4 95.8mphI want to say Im...

We got the wiring fixed up last night. I had figured judging by the residue on the top of the dash that some one had glued some sort of tuner on the dash before I owned the car. The cutting off and not wanting to start issues were brought on by this. The o2 sensor, knock sensor, and a couple...

Found mine on here, it was in VA.

Keep and eye on ncdsms and craiglist, they pop up a lot on there.The neon will definitly be there and hopefully be in the 12's, maybe mid 12's if someone lets me borrow some 23's.The dsm is having a little wiring issue but I have a guru coming to help figure that out hopefully today and...

Its not leaking yet (22psi). I have it crushed, I ran 26lbs on my first gen neon that was making 400whp+ on a crushed 1g bov and it wasnt leaking. Ive been tinkering a bit with my srt-4, got a diablosport tuner and a 3 inch o2 housing for it so hopefully it should be in the 12.8 range next time...

Yeap, Im off work this week so hopefully I can get the oil leak taken car of. Its making 22psi right now and running pretty well with a basic tune. Gonna button up some things and turn the boost up.

Leak tested the crap out of the car. Fixed 5 boost leaks, the car is spiking 20psi now. Just bought a throttle body gasket cause mine is pissing boost everywhere so gonna put that on and attempt to fix the oil leak tomorrow.

Yea, I fixed the VC leak today, and got everything to build my boost leak tester. Still hoping to have it ready for mopars at the rock in rockingham on april 17th.

It pulled the srt a little on 12psi, Ive got to get a check valve for the brake booster and build a boost leak tester. For some reason oil keeps filling the valley on the valve cover and the crank seal is going to be replaced very soon to fix that leak. I replaced the valve cover thinking it...

My two moneypits finally alive.

Drove the car around last night, didnt beat on it or anything. Drives and shifts good, still has an oil leak that I need to figure out but with 1 stock fan and 1 slim fan on a 180 thermostat everything seemed to be fine.On 12psi the talon pulls my srt-4 from a roll and my srt traps 108 all day.

Im going to leave it stock unless it cant handle the heat. Got the trans finished and took it around the block. It has some how developed and oil leak, and ate another belt but other then that all that is left is wiring up the last fan and wiring up the tranny to shift on toggle switches...

Gonna run a slim fan pushing air on the front side, a slim fan pulling on the back, and a chopped up stock fan.

Little update, car is running, just rebuilt the trans since it had almost 160k on it. Should be doing a little tuning coming up soon. Also ordered some parts from SBR and now they are ignoring me and wont send me the stuff I paid for.

Bought a full tranny rebuild kit since it probably needed it having 150+k miles on it. Hopefully have it rebuilt and on the road within 2 weeks. Got a tag on it now atleast.

Took it to get it inspected, made it there and back and it popped a line off the tranny cooler when we got back to the house, put some new clamps on and I think its either over full or under full cause it wont go anywhere, but when all the wheels are off the ground they turn when its in drive...
