Damn that sucks, May be a boost leak. . . Do you still have your bcs hooked up? Try getting rid of that guy if you do, if not check that BOV and all connections to it, I had the vaccum line fall off to my BOV once and I could only boost to 7 PSI.Good Luck,BoostedTalon

Let me tell you this. . .you are in for some serious work. my car sat for 1 year before I bought it. . and holy sh-t I replaced alot of things, just a quick rundown. . .Brakes (calipers and all rubber lines), radiator, all filters, all belts (timing especially) various Hoses (pretty much...

You sir are an angry bastard:mad:And thats wy I love you guys!!!My Guess. . . fuse.BoostedTalon

Unplug it, mail it to me, I will fix it and test it in my car for 2 years for free. . what a deal huh. . seriously though. . unplug it and take it to Radio Shack if ya have one, they have a Liquid based solvent that is circuit board and electrical connection safe. I only say take it with you...

Go to your auto store Buy a cheap tubing bender and some I think it is -4 or -6, ask the parts place they will know.BoostedTalon

First of all welcome :thumb:Second your honda was a honda yes, but a cool colored honda :thumb:I have a 90' Talon TSI also, and I paid 1500.00 for it:p (More miles, and I am sure a rougher body and interior) But my love none the less.First: Tune Up Second: www.vfaq.comYou...

Holy Crap!!!That looks really painful.BoostedTalon

whoops this is the one I like:-)awesome mani!!!

Sweet mani!!!!

Ok some of you guys have great taste! Others I am really concerned about:confused:1.) Pulp Fiction (or any Quentin Tarantino movie really)2.) Scarface (how could it not be in the top 3)3.) Boondock Saints (excellent but unknown movie)There are a ton of really excellent movies...

Good lookin out brother:-)

Anyone have any idea where I can get one?boostedtalon

It's a Biatch, the first time will be my last. I will spend the 30 bucks and have my local shop do it. It took me about 3 hours to get that damn serpentine belt on. And I consider myself rather handy:-)BoostedTalon

Hell yes!!!! That is my toy store, I want to go with you :D

What part of the car was damaged? If you have full coverage and they are willing to pay, have them check Transfer case, he is an angry little bastard when he gets parts rammed into him, the trans also, an axle bent? tell me what part of the car was hurt and what they replaced, then you can at...

My Buddy just put a 3" N1 on his 1.3 litre and it is quite throaty, I love it, looking for 1 on e-bay as I type:-)BoostedTalon

Thank You:thumb:

I'd call Rod Millen and have him build me a custom suspension set-up:thumb:

Are you getting boost spike? Pushing the boost past 15psi? I think it's probably fuel cut, or just plain not enough fuel.BoostedTalon

He doesn't have a mandrel bender :( the price for 3 inch was 190.00.This is a shop I have been going to for some time, this is the type of work where you get no reciept :thumb:BoostedTalon

I have a 90' Tsi AWD and it to handles very odd it the snow. . always spinning in circles, boost guage is always around 15PSI, tach bouncing near redline, exhaust screaming, people jumping off the sidewalk. . I just don't know. . .if someone figures it out please let me know:talon:

Sure I will, I found that running my stock 14b w/ a 3inch exhaust was overkill, I kept the stock o2 housing so if I would have gone 3 inch I may run into some serious boost creep, and also that 2.5 would flow a 14b with very little backpressure. I will be upgrading to a Big 16g soon to so I...

I agree, if money is no object get a 20g, or some hybrid, though there is not a thing wrong with an 18g. But get it from forced performance, don't pay for the big name when you will get the same turbo!BoostedTalon

I actually watched him do it. I decided to go with 2.5 due to some serious investigating on my part, it is press bent but we avoided and serious bends, it is smooth as a babies butt:-) I cannot believe the difference it makes!!! That is by far the best 150.00 I have ever spent period. It...

With the proper supporting mods you could get 300 easy, the dejon IC uses bigger in and outs, creating better flow.Yes the IC sprayer would help.BoostedTalon

Yeah go 660's and a 255 pump.though 550's and the 255 would support your 16g with no sweat whatsoever.BoostedTalon

Having my local shop run my exhaust Wednesday, 3inch turbo back, all custom, no cat, I am so excited had to tell someone. Anyone have any input? I am still running my 14b, which works very well still, running 15psi, have 3 inch intake, and MBC, with autometer boost guage:-)BoostedTalon

Yes it is safe, I run 15 PSI on my stock 14b turbo, I have a autometer boost guage, a 3 inch intake, and a homeade boost controller, the only time I have problems is on cool evenings when the boost may spike to 16 or 17 psi due to air density. Buy a boost guage, and turn it up, My buddy paid 68...

I have heard 300 Hp, I tend to find that believable.BoostedTalon

Get a big 16g, and a front mount.BoostedTalon

Size is good, but the real issue is flow, how well does it flow, then comes how much surface area is available to cool. Buy a spearco.BoostedTalon

Sounds right, not sure why it would affect boost like that though, what type of BOV did you go with? Are you venting to the atmosphere? Hows it work? Do you like it? I am thinking about a new BOV myself.BoostedTalon

Well I don't have numbers, but. . .He has a 92' Toyota Paseo(Don't laugh, he will be in the 13's this year, with a new T25/28 hybrid, 450 injectors and a aeromotive inline fuel pump w/ -6 lines, with a 1.3T motor from a JDM starlet, it originally came with a small top mount, adding the front...

I have not checked the TPS, I don't think it is that, normally it runs fine. If I turned up the BISS it would idle way to high most of the time.Thanks thoughBoostedTalon

Probably just overheated, should be ok. Yeah when the fluid boils it wants and needs to get out, was there gas in it? Smell it, does it smell like gas, if not you are probably ok.BoostedTalon

I would stick with a high quality oil, mobile1, redline, one of those, Try those first. The high mileage oils have the extra stuff that is not really that great for a turbo car.BoostedTalon

My buddy picked up a core from the body shop he works at, from a diesel truck, cut off the tanks and had a machine shop weld on nice new end tanks, he has 200 into it, and it is badazz. Plus it fits perfectly because he had the in and out put where he wanted them. You can buy a decent one from...

What kind of MBC do you have, turn the screw the other way, I did the same thing with mine. . whoops, spring was to hard, changed springs, now I get 15psi every time, cost me about 6 bucks at lowes:-)BoostedTalon

Ok quick question, occasionally after my car is warm, it will idle way down and try to stall, not always but 40% of the time, it is only when it is at normal operating temperature, if I drive a while and stop again it doesn't do it, usually when I am in line at a fast food place, could it be my...

Ummm just a guess but I would say your belt fell off, in turn disableing your water pump, power steering and alternator. Replace the belt. They where out, mine did just 300 miles ago, all the same symptoms, that belt is a biatch to change too, just FYI. After you change the belt, check and...

Ok I here this alot, oil additives are bad, I tend to disagree, I use and have used restore in my oil for ever, my turbo car loves it, it makes a noticeable difference in performance and is perfectly safe for your turbo. My car has 135,000+ miles and runs like new.BoostedTalon

If you still have a stock 2g BOV then you will only get 12-13, if you have upgraded to a 1g or better than I am thinkin' 15-18 with those mods, do you have something that measures knock, if not get something. That fuel pump and your stock injectors should handle 400hp.Good luckBoostedTalon

I played this stupid game once myself, in theory they sound like single piston, I am guessing they are 1 piston fellas, mine are and the rears do look smaller. I tried to find 2 piston calipers for my car and found they are quite expensive, especially for used calipers. And yes I do believe...

LOL. . funny but true, though (knock on wood) mine is pretty damn reliable.Anyway the problem may or may not be the honeycomb, Mine is not there (I didn't do it just FYI) it came like that from the guy I bought it from, and yes it does leave my check engine light on, but it runs fine, check...

Fuel Cut sucks, and the above link leads to an awesome article, even if you know it all you should still read it, it is very good reading.But anyway onto my point, if your fuel system is stock that fuel cut saves your turbo and engine when it works:-) If you want to increase the boost and...

Actually having your ECU tuned is way cheaper for us than most, 300.00 for stage 3 from Tecnomotive, these are the only people I would ever let touch My ECU, my buddy is considering sending his to a guy that does the same thing for his vehicle (92' toyota Paseo w/ starlet 1.3 turbo swap) they...

Hmmm. . . First of all. . what psi are you running? Does it spike at full throttle, how often? Do you have anything onboard to take care of Fuel cut? Check and make sure there are no leaks around the maf, also do you have a noticeable exhaust leak? Did this start after a Mod? I am thinkin...

Fuel cut @ 16 psi.Need I say more, it is like hitting a deer.
