    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    With going back to school that will be 60 miles round trip and up to 5 days a week. Hoping to take the bus 3 of the days still makes something comfy the way to go. Been very happy with the focus. I am tires and a timing belt away from doing its maintenance. Really its only needed one vacuum hose...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well I wish I would. So this thread will come to an end. Ended up getting tired of the car and not wanting to work on it at all. That as well as a lack luster budget I put it up for sale. A local DSM guy who has many of these cars needed a daily driver. I was debating on selling it still...

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Not a bad idea. I looked again and there are 2 pistons with multiple deep groves straight to the top ring. These will not buff out. From a machine shop I trust means these pistons are junk. If you were on a super budget maybe or needed it back together today. But he says scratches to the top...

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Have been watching his posts. I have debated a doing the used engine option. I know his 6 bolt selection is low. At least complete bottom ends. Heck a lot of parts I needed for this 6 bolt came from him. Everything was good minus the rack and pinion( I could have exchanged it but gas would cost...

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    I was waiting for it but never saw anything. I went out a while back and double checked. Granted these are still garbage. Started looking at other engine options but man have these engines shot up in value on the used market. Even a jdm engine these days is around 1500 for a cheap one. 6 bolts...

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Yep it sucks. Got to decide on what to do with this car. Have debated a part out before and or selling it. I just decided to fix it. Now this has shown up. What to do, what to do.Checked all four when they came out. None had cracking. Lots of scoring but no cracks.

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Since my camshafts were made of rust no. I did not turn anything till the cylinder head was off the engine. Then I put oil on the cylinders before turning the crankshaft at all. Car has never ran since I have owned it. Was bought as a project car but even now I'm rethinking that.
  8. 96Formula6spd

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well more bad news.....does this car ever have good news? Pistons are trash. Pulled them out after posting another thread about it. Piston bores are scored. Probably going to have to bore it to 86mm or more as its 85.5 now. Bleh never ending money pit this car. Still not even working on any...

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Well good thing I pulled these pistons. They are trash. No cracking that I can find but major scoring. Also rings were almost lined up. Not even a 1/4 turn between the #1 and #2 rings. Tops are chewed up and line up with some of the big scoring marks. This engine was not happy. Took some...

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Yay, sounds like the pistons are coming out Monday. Out of town till then. Just as I thought I could actually get this car running again it comes back to bite me, again and again and again.To bad it's 85.5mm bore. Otherwise I would just find a stock set to throw in. I will be calling Wiseco...
  11. 96Formula6spd

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Will be checking the pistons over with a fine tooth. Figure these receipts were from 2005 on the rebuild. Looks like time for a home and re-ring. Time to blow the budget even if it's only a couple hundred bucks.
  12. 96Formula6spd

    To re-ring or not to re-ring

    Figure I would ask around. So I am putting a 6 bolt back together. Engine had 12k or so on it. It blew a head gasket in 2009 and has been sitting since. Anyways at this point the crankshaft is out of the car and at the machine shop as the engine needed new bearings and the old crankshaft was...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    I did its not going to work. Its about 2 inches to short or more. That and it does not even clear the brake calipers. So useless for me.
  14. 96Formula6spd

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well the crankshaft is at the machine shop. Guy said its been a long time since he had seen a 6 bolt 4g63 or any 4g63 crankshaft. Said crankshaft looked good. Found the right place as they only do crankshafts. $110 and it should be done next week. Next I went out and looked at the bores...
  15. 96Formula6spd

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Another small update. Got my rack and pinion rebuild kit in. So I can now do that at some point. Will probably happen next week. Was also autocrossing over the weekend. Since I was in Myrtle Beach the local pick and pull gets more older cars. They also had these.Raided a set of calipers and...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well went up today and got some rims and tires. Came from a 2002 Eclipse Gt. Have almost new all seasons. But since its going to be a daily driver they will work. Got the factory lug nuts and the spare. I did not have a spare so this could be used. But progress. At least now I could put it back...
  17. 96Formula6spd

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well ended up selling some stuff again. Tax time came and people bought a few things. Something says I should fix this car. So I am going to find a machine shop this week. Also debating a full rebuild. I am only piston rings away. Going to look at the bores tomorrow and make a decision. Today I...

    98 TSi awd - Autocross Build

    The point of when a race car becomes a race car. Can feel the pain of cutting into a clean car. But its yours and you can do what you want with it. And its becoming more and more a SM car.
  19. 96Formula6spd

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well got the rest of the exhaust valves done. They were the only ones leaking on the water test. Intake look really good so going to leave them alone. As for now I am putting the car back up for sale. Enthusiasm left the building months ago. Granted now watch the car not sell.
  20. 96Formula6spd

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well crankshaft needs to be turned. Will save a few bucks on bearings. Problem is finding a local machine shop that does it. Only one I have herd that can is 45 mins away and will not answer the phone. So may just take it to Columbia. Started lapping valves. Got 3 of the exhaust ones done before...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    I wish it would. The big delay was the acl and learning to walk again. Who knew I would have to do that again. That put the car on its biggest delay. Hopefully it will be running soon. Also need the Civil Engineering market to pick up. Market has been dead the last 3 years with very little work...

    98 TSi awd - Autocross Build

    So do I or at least I used to. My first car is still around. Been kicking the idea of a Cam-C build. Car should make 450whp and 440wrtq when it gets tuned. Right now its sitting with a oil pressure problem. A little suspension and shove some 275 under it. I have seen 305 square. That could be...
  23. 96Formula6spd

    98 TSi awd - Autocross Build

    Yeah that is what I was worried about. Down here we have some big events. Zmax usually brings 200 drivers. I have been paxing around 30 out of 200 the last few times. With the new tuning rules it would be throwing as much boost as the bov and injectors would take. Granted still need to fight the...

    Mighty Max crankshaft fit 4G63?

    Well took a chance and it paid off. Pulled a 4g63 crankshaft from a 1988 might max. Side by side everything looks the same. This one could use a light polish. Had factory bearings in it. Anyways seems to have checked out. As the pulley slide right on. Rear main seal fits perfect. Even the rods...

    98 TSi awd - Autocross Build

    Intresting build. I have been autocrossing for the last 7 years. First two were in a mix match of cars. Last 5 have been in my 01 Miata. Been playing in CS and now ES. Even had a blast and went to solo nationals and was 28/55 in the class. Have been debating back and forth of a 7 bolt swap back...

    Mighty Max crankshaft fit 4G63?

    Yep I knew it was factory hardening of the crankshaft. Mostly a head treatment. But looks like there are other ways that I did no know about. Either way its nice to have. But since I have seen people running around with turned crankshafts it seems to be ok without it. Granted if I was going for...
  27. 96Formula6spd

    Mighty Max crankshaft fit 4G63?

    Good to know on the snout length. Something to double check. As for the nitratided it would be nice. Granted my old crankshaft was 0.25mm under. So all of that coating was gone. Car is not going to see big power. Will be running a 14b for a long time. Probably even stay on the 450cc injectors...
  28. 96Formula6spd

    Mighty Max crankshaft fit 4G63?

    One is a 1987, the other is an 1988. Both should be the g63b engines.I know the 2.4 cranks are usable in their own way.. Even two of those came in this week. Bad ideas of a 2.4 swap but the budget says no.
  29. 96Formula6spd

    Mighty Max crankshaft fit 4G63?

    Got a quick question. I am needing a 6 bolt Crankshaft for my talon project. Anyways today two 2.0 mighty max showed up at the junkyard. Debating going and pulling a crankshaft. Replacement parts show they are the same part. However are they? Mitsubishi parts were different part numbers.Would...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well no real updates. Been shopping for a crankshaft. However was able to go out today and put the fuel system back together. So that is just ready for some fresh gas. Hope to have a crankshaft soon. See how this car goes. If its like normal very very slow.

    2G Injector identification

    Kinda what I am thinking. The body of the car was in good shape. Heck even the top looked new. Had 164k miles on it. There also was a busted axle. Could have been another reason. Not sure why the car was there. I even need a motor for my 2g but I was not going to pull it. I like to buy out of...
  32. 96Formula6spd

    2G Injector identification

    Could be. Glad I don't have much in them.Curious there is a Bosch 42lb inejctor 440cc that has a green top. I may keep these around and have them flow tested. To bad the local guy gave up on doing it. However they almost look like the 2.4 275cc injectors. The fun of what I am guessing is the...
  33. 96Formula6spd

    2G Injector identification

    50015Other than that the sides usually have a part number but it looks to be batch numbers. Bad news is I think I know why the car was there. After more hunting looked at a 2.4 4g64 injector. This car was a convertible after all. However it was a GST model as it had a 4g63 in the engine bay...

    2G Injector identification

    Hey guys I was at my local pick and pull and ended up coming across a fresh 97 gst vert automatic. I decided to pull a few small things from it as the car was 100% stock. One of those was the injectors as mine sat in old gas I figured a having a spare set would not be a bad idea. On removal I...

    Peon_Slayers 1993 Evo 1 GSR Build

    Looking good. I always liked the original evos. Granted I have always wanted an evo 6. Might make a fun project as you can now bring the evo 1 to the USA.

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well more bad news from the talon. Decided that today would be getting the bottom end back together. Went and grabbed the crankshaft to clean it and do a good visual check. When I removed it I took it out then bagged it as it was getting dark. When I had taken the number 3 main bearing out I had...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well enthusiasm has come back a little bit. Since I am waiting on parts again I decided to tackle the horrible bubbled tint. Overall not to bad of a job the front windows came right off. The hatch took the longest time as it was wanting to flake into a million little pieces. But now I can see...

    Tracking car list

    No need for read disc. The drums are fine. I have been towing with a 99 Suburban for the last few years. Its my parents truck but I can borrow it if I need it. We run the hawks LTS. Tho they could be the super duty. Either way when I first towed with some garbage pads I almost ran a stop sign...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well ups and downs. Took the head to the machine shop and had it cleaned. Much better than spending years cleaning it out by hand. All the goo is now gone. So tomorrow I will try lapping some valves. Started working on the body and swapping the used rack and pinion in. Got the old one out with...

    Tracking car list

    Not bad. Throw a good transmission cooler on it and some hps towing pads and you are good. Might as well buy a trailer. Down here you can get them in the $1800 range. Figure two days with U-haul is $70 a day. That adds up quick.
  41. 96Formula6spd

    Tracking car list

    I have access to two trucks but no trailer. I have a tire trailer on my miata. Makes taking enough tools and tires there easy. I would like to step up to a tow rig. You never know at the track. Can always blow an engine or transmission. There is always the risk of crashing. So my word is be...
  42. 96Formula6spd

    Tracking car list

    I will put a word in. If doing track days start with a close to stock car. Learn the limits there. I track a miata about 3 times a year. Its a street class autox car. So it has a set of koni shocks on the stock springs, a front sway bar, and an axle back. I also do instructing and for first...

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well stuff is finally moving along. Now on to the fun stuff of cleaning everything. First up I have tools on the way to clean and lap the valves. Got them all out with the socket and hammer trick. Just going to have to wait for the install tool. New valve seals will be going in. Also this will...

    2G 2g trans checking for evo gearing

    Hey guys I am wanting to see what gearing is in my transmission before I put it back in. Its not the biggest issue but the previous owner had paper work for a sheppard transmission. Anyways he also stated that he had swapped in evo 3 gearing. So pulled the transmission out of the garage. Figured...

    Rocker arm differences

    Nothing wrong with the junkyards. Total I have $12 invested in the three sets. I think the current plan is to raid one more car. If I don't have a good set then its off to the forums to spend money.
  47. 96Formula6spd

    Rocker arm differences

    So was at the junkyard. Ended up only finding one car at this pick and pull. This was a 2002 Kia. The other cars that would have had rockers were either missing engines or some of the kia/hyundais were v6 cars. So pulled a set from this kia. Another good clean engine. Car was super rusty on the...

    Rocker arm differences

    He does not but all his sets come from a 1g or 2g. In a later video he goes to evo rockers. they are different but have the pinhole style of the later hyundai set. Since I am not happy with either set my plan is to go to the junkyard today. I need to go to raid a transmission yoke for a lemons...
  49. 96Formula6spd

    Rocker arm differences

    Hey guys I am working on my 2g Talon project and am deciding on the next step. My car had sat a long time and the rockers actually rusted in the head.

    The $400 97 Talon Awd Rescue

    Well Picked up a replacement set of cams. Just a set of 2g ones but they will work for now. Also picked up a factory harmonic balancer. So the underdrive pulley can come off. Doing this for factory belts and watched a miata blow apart because it was missing its harmonic balancer. Was using a...
