Yes, those are exactly the side moldings I'm talking about. I want to place the 92-94 moldings (like the ones in the white car or the purple car) in my 91 Talon (like the one in the first pic, the black/grey car). What I wanted to know is if there would be any fitment issues in doing this.??????
I need to replace the door and fender side moldings on my 91 Talon TSi AWD. The moldings are all cracked and warped from age and eventhough they were repaired a while back, this time they have to go. The problem is that there are no Talon moldings availiable for the 90-91 models. I got hold of...
It's a 67 Mustang fastback 8" rear end. As to what gears the car is running I don't know exactly, I'll let my friend who is the owner answer that, as he is the owner of the car...
Finally here is an update. The Talon now has a new rear end setup. We did some dyno runs yesterday.......and the car still needs some tune in the upper rpm band. Yet it still put 573 AWHP......Here is the vid.YouTube - Talon TSi AWD DYNO RUNS
I'm planning on changing the pop-up headlights on my 91 Talon. I want to go for a fixed setup but DON'T want to use 92-94 headlights. Besides, the plastic turnsignals on the 1G cars always tend to leak water and trun yellowish. Has anybody done this kind of mod before??? If so please post some...
I had a KYB AGX/Tein S-Tech combo on my car for around 3 years and the result was good enough. Koni's may be a better shock but as stated above they are no a bolt-on proposition so that is already a drawback.
I have a Megan Racing coilover setup now and it is way better than the AGX/Tein...
Finally finished the headlight swap on my 1G. Threw away the pop ups (those things are like candles) and converted to a set of JDM Sylvia S13 headlights. Feel free to throw in your comments.
Thanx
I know for sure that the non-gsx molding is thinner than the gsx molding. I thought though that the gsx molding was the same as the one on the tsi-awd. I'll give them a call monday as my drivers side door and fender moldings are cracking from age and I would really like to get a new set.
Unfortunately I don't. I didn't take pictures during the conversion process, I regret it now. I was planning on taking out the lights so that I could take pictures of what was modded and welded but haven't had the time to do so. Maybe in a few weeks that I have to go to the shop to do some work...
Pop ups are just a headache, I used to live by the sea and had to clean and oil (lubricate) the pop up mechanism constantly since it would tend to get stuck due to the sea breeze and weather. Besides that, they don't give you the best visibility at all, it's rather poor I should say. I tried...
Check these pictures, they basically have the light set up you're looking for. Don't remember where I got the pictures but I assume they are from a member here.These pictures gave me the idea to do the S13 conversion on my 1G. You could maybe follow this setup and fabricate a custom cover...
Thanx for the advice guys. I'll upgrade my DP to a full 3" piece next week.Any advice as to which cams would be a good match for 8500rpm with my setup???
Here is the deal, I'm seeking advice on what would be the best mods for my car (supporting mods I should say) considering what I'm already running.Car is a 91 Eagle Talon TSi AWD, daily driver, full weight which sees track days at the strip once a month. I'm running the following setup right...
Interesting points you mention there... I'm running the DIS 2 as a smart ignitor, the transistor pack and stock ignitor have been removed. Actually the Haltech dealer here recommended to do so. I've only done some basic tuning yet but YES, it takes a while for the car to start. After it starts...
I have a doubt regarding the use of a coil on plug setup in my car. My original coil pack has a fisure or crack and eventhough it works fine I'll definitely change it sooner or later. I got my hands on a brand new COP setup cheap and was wondering mainly if it will work with my cars setup.
I...
That was definitely my mistake, I never took pictures during the build up process. I'll try to take some pictures of the parts modified in detail and post'em asap. The center piece is a custom made part in fiberglass.
Looks like you got the winning ticket here. The new turbo setup will include a GT4094 turbocharger (thanks to the friends at Forced Performance) that just arrived last week. The car si currently at the shop, a custom exhaust manifold is being built right now. Hope we break into the 9s this 2008...
Actually what took the most time was figuring out which headlights would correctly fit the conversion project I had in mind. I measured the original space I had after removing the pop ups and went to a local store that sells jdm used parts. There I found the S13 headlights and after measuring...
Basically the weight that was reduced from the conversion would be the weight of the pop up structure + the weight of the pop-up motors. One draw back from this conversion is that now it is virtually impossible for me to go for a CF hood (considering I have a custom hood now). I'll have to go...
Looks like the GT3082 is gonna have a new owner, haha. Next turbo setup on this car will include Forced Performance new FP3582HTA turbocharger. We'll see how it goes and hope that 10sec. record is going down fast.
Thanks for the input man, I appreciate it. What I'm still wondering is if having a Maf Translator wiould in any way interfere with any of the functions on the E-Manage Ultimate??? I don't think so but it doesn't hurt asking. I'll have a friend of mine that does Haltech programming take a look at...
Hello guys, I have a few questions regarding the use of an E-Manage Ultimate from Greddy on my 1G Talon AWD. I searched the forums regarding this topic but couldn't find the answers I'm looking for.The thing is that I have the opportunity to get hold of a brand new E-Manage Ultimate with the...
That is because it isn't a drag strip:cry::cry: It's a crappy airlane for samll aircraft by the beach just like my friend Regan noted above. What's also interesting is that the last 3 runs were made without a tach (it ceased working duringthe qualifying runs) and the shifting was done pushing...
I'm getting around 100psi at startup and around 35-40psi at idle. When I boost it pressure will go up to 110psi. I'm thinking these values are a little high though. My dipstick tends to pop out too by the way, could it be because of the oil pressure being too high. I'm also seeing some oil...
Thanx a lot, I did some forum search using the complete turbo names, not the numbers and couldn't find a thing. Your previous post did really help out.
I'll try to make this a little more specific because I don't want a turbo comparison war. What I would like to know is if there are any actual/proven benefits, performance wise of course if you use the Mitsu style exhaust housing rather than the original Garret housing or vice versa.
I'm about to buy a GT30 dual ball bearing turbo for my Talon and have yet to decide which. The only doubt I have is maybe kindda silly but I have to ask. I don't know if I should buy a bolt-on GT30 (like the ones SBR or Forced Performance sell) which have the Mitsu style exhaust housing or if I...
Actually doing the wiring of the JDM silvia headlights is really easy. The JDM's actually have the low and high beam proyectors wiring join into a single 3 pin plug just like our original H4's so it is almost a plug n play install. You just have to wire the foglights and the corner/parking...
The bumper remains untouched, you just modify the side fenders (to fit the turn lights and match the hood) and do some mods on the hood to follow the line (more horizontal now) of the new headlights.
I ended up using 5mm spacers behind the 13" rotors to solve my clearance problems. The cause was that I have a camber correction kit (bolt style). If I correct the camber as positive as it goes the rotor fits perfectly but if I give it negative camber then it touches the lower control arm. I...
I'm using the 13" rotor that came with the 1G kit. I've only test fitted the drivers side, I'm gonna test fit the passenger side to see if I have the same problem.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I have a front wheel camber kit which could be the cause of the clearance problems, could it...
I recntly got a Baer Big Brake system for my 91 Talon Tsi. I'm in the middle of fitting the 13" rotors but encountered a problem. The new rotor comes in contact with the lower suspension arm, making me think it needs a spacer behind it. I don't know if I'm missing something here but I need...
For all you people who want to do an S13 headlight conversion on your 1Gs check out the following Ebay links. They have several sets on sale, and some are really cheap like the ones in this link for $119...
I found a set for $150 at a local used parts shop. Prices are much lower than in the USA since I live in South America.
By the way I saw a few sets of these headlamps on Ebay a while ago. There are actually 3 varieties of the S13 headlamps. One with 2 rectangular headlamps in the unit, the...
If I can get a hold of the S15 headlights I would certainly do that headlight conversion in my 1G. The thing is that S15 headlights aren't cheap nor easy to find.:cry:
