I decided to take my talon to the dyno as a birthday present to me. I went to the track last month and was able to get a 12.058 @ 117.5 mph. I think I should be able to hit mid 11's with more practice. I'm going to try using NLTS next time. I dyno'd on a Dynocom AWD Dyno (shop page here...
I posted this in the link forums, but it doesn't hurt to ask here, too!Ever since I switched to SD and E85, I've been having a problem with "warm" starts. I say "warm" because the car could be cold... okay, let me elaborate.My car will start immediately in the morning, OR after it's been...
The nipple on my 16g broke off, which makes my high boost "problem" make sense. Anyone in the springs have one?? I would like to get it asap.Thanks!And if anyone needs a 2g MAF sensor w/ k&n and pipe for a 14b/16g turbo, or a 1G BOV w/ dodge garage mod, I have these sitting in a box!
So I'm finally going to be spending money on cosmetics for my car. I'm looking for any known good places to get some body and paint work done. Let me know if you know of any please.Also, if you know of a place to get tinted, as well as a place to roll fenders or have a fender roller, let...

I have to get these out of storage within the next two weeks, so I need these gone ASAP!The inner wheel has been painted black maybe 5 or so years ago. It's not perfect, but the wheels are fine. It will need new tires. Make me a reasonable offer and they are yours. Asking $150.I also...
So I just swapped out my KeyDiver chip for V3. Before the swap, it ran great. No boost leaks or anything like that. Ran pretty strong, but a tad lean, so I got V3 and ditched the SAFC (I was adding +20 to keep WOT AFR's in the mid 11's).I attached a few logs showing the front O2 cycling...
So I'm getting stationed at Schriever AFB in a few months, and I'm thinking I should start looking for a place to live. I've been asking around, contacting everyone I could think of, but the more input I can get, the better, so I'm asking here.I'm pretty open right now on what I want...
Whenever I turn the ignition switch to ON, the ignition fuse on the positive battery terminal (30A) blows. I printed out this wiring diagram, and started to disconnect things that could be grounded, but the fuse kept blowing. I went through about 10 fuses I had laying around before I realized...
Jacks Transmissions sent me a quote, and I'm going to have to pay an additional $554 dollars for these two pieces. That shit cray. lol. I'm hoping someone would have these for a 91 AWD manual transmission that they would sell me. Let me know!On a side note, I have brand new Hawk HP...
First off, I'm not sure where to put such threads at, so I put it in the Newbie forum area. If there is a better place this should have been, let me know.I have some issues with my car, and I'm running out of ideas. For a while now, I've been have starting problems. For the past few months...
So the Talon had it's first WOT run today since the stock rebuild (at ~1100 miles), but now I need some help. I'm unsure on where I should richen/lean out the Safc because the timing, knock, and AFRs are not getting along. My "NE Points" are800

After getting a chip for the DSM, there were always problems in the top end at WOT. This eventually led to numerous days of overheating, and coolant shooting from the overflow bottle. It wasnt until the night that my brother and I were logging the car to send logs for a new chip that the head...
Vehicle is a 1991 tsi awd. Main mods are:
Custom intake for 2g mas
Fmic w/ 2.5" ic piping
Rewired Walbro 190
SAFC2
Evo 560cc injectors
Evo3 manifold
Small 16g
Apexi DP and Exhaust
Boost is at 15psi (may be irrelevant because I'm worrying about low throttle)I just installed a 2G MAS...
Hey guys, I recently took out my small 16g because my car blew blue smoke when I boosted. I took it apart to change the seals/bearings and send the parts (shaft, wheel, nut, in/out thrust collars) to FP for balancing, yet I noticed that the bearings had worn into the shaft itself. The wear...
I'm not sure how big or small it'll be, but I saw it on the local forums so maybe DSMs in the area could show up just because. They say similar to Lolicups, but no trophies or anything because it's Boba Blend's first thing like this. I copied this from the other forums:FREE BOBA...
Car is a 1991 tsi awd. Main mods are: K&N, hard intake and IC piping w/ fmic, stock turbo spiking to 20psi and falling to 16, act2600, 4-bolt rear, 3" cutout after the downpipe [no cat], evoVIII 560cc injectors, and SAFC2 w/ logger.. thats it i think. pretty short list now that i think of it...
i went to the junkyard today and found a 4 bolt rear end on a 91 talon. this is obviously an upgrade on the car and it was stripped entirely except for it, so i'm wondering how you can tell if it's still good.the rear seems like there's a black layer of grease coating on the back of it, but...
okay, so i just put on a small 16g and got my car started frist time in a few months and i ran into probelms such as stripped head where the banjo oil line bolt to turbo goes to, broke one stud, and the stock intake snorkel couldnt fit on the 16g compressor housing. luckily, wheree i stripped...
so um, i have this small16g that was used and it has side to side play, but i dont know if it is too much. when i lightly move it, the wheels dont touch anything, but if i push hard enough, it can touch the housings. is that normal?i have a stock exhaust right now, but would an evo3 manifold...
after rebuilding a 14b turbo, do i get it balanced before or after i put the turbine housings back on? also, should i port/get it ported while it's apart or is porting not worth the time? my laser's basically stock and i dont plan on major upgrades anytime soon.
thanks
i have a 1990 plymouth laser given to me by my uncle, who once hit a curb on the passenger front wheel. ive been driving it with the wheel sticking out for about two years, and now i think it has to stop eating my tires. my first try was to buy camber bolts, and i tried to make it a negative as...
