  1. 16g install q's

    www.slowboyracing.com has banjo bolts you have to request new ones through email or something they arent listed with a price but are mentioned in the turbo options section. I believe normally you just re-use the ones you have...
  2. Turbo making strange noises

    The turbo boosts perfectly fine. But just recently started making this wierd noise. Kind of a whining sound with some buzzing too it dont know how to explain it. Can definately tell its the turbo or at least something related too it because I can watch the boost gauge as the needle its 0 it will...
  3. I'm a newbie

    6 bolt swap imo. :thumb:

  5. Highest mileage on a DSM??

    262,000 miles here. Maintenance was always done and car was taken care of. Only the normal car things were replaced like alternator, battery, brakes etc. Along with religious timing belt changes.:thumb:
  6. Loudest,deepest catback?

    HA didnt notice youre in joppatowne huh? Im right next door (Bel Air) what color is your car I probably seen you around. :thumb:
  7. Loudest,deepest catback?

    You will be happy to know our cars dont sound like that, EVER unless there is something physically wrong with the exhaust system like metal shavings in the muffler/cheap muffler etc.Dont worry you wont sound like a civic. God knows there is enough of em around here.
  8. 0-60mph GS-T or GSX?

    All depends on the driver imo. With 2 equally skilled drivers the GSX would win obviously but its very possible to get great launches in a GST. Of course when you start adding more and more power the AWD really helps.
  9. Talon is sick

    Only thing I can say is check your grounding on the head unit. :confused:Random CELs and loss of power seems like a common problem associated with ECU capacitors leaking though. Was happening to me randomly and replacing my ECU caps fixed it.As far as the headunit causing the problems...
  10. Talon is sick

    Any clicking noises from under the dash when this happens?
  11. look at this ebay

    Perhaps if you got rid of that hideous wing. One sure way to ####up a nice looking car is too put a ridiculous wing on it. :thumb:
  12. look at this ebay

    I like the big ricer double deck wing on the car. :rolleyes:
  13. transmission fluid replaced and it improved performance

    Sounds good but why not just put syncromesh or BG syncroshift in it?Is it better to do it the way you did or what?
  14. How strong turbo awd is?

    <----- 262,000 Miles180 across all 4 cylinders. :thumb:It was taken care of. :laugh:
  15. Thought I had fixed my drivers window problem

    Well buying another motor is all well and good but how the hell am I supposed to get that thing out of there? There are cables and wires and shit where I cannot reach. Any instructions with good pix on the web anywhere?I unbolted the motor the first time I "fixed" it but it wasnt going...
  16. '90 TSi AWD runs like pooh

    Its too thick for a motor modified like yours. IE: My uncle has a 67 chevelle with a blown 502. Thats the kind of oil he uses. ;)
  17. Thought I had fixed my drivers window problem

    Pulled the panel off and took the switch apart. Cleaned all the connectors put it back together and it worked for about 3 days. Im riding down the road roll up the windows to light a smoke and of course the ####ing window wont roll back down. So I get home, pull the door panel off again inspect...
  18. Need Help With 91 Talon Tsi Awd 5 Speed!

    I would pull your ECU out and check for leaking capacitors.Hear any clicking noises coming from the dash area when this stuff is happening?http://www.tmo.com/howto/ecu1g/caps.htmIf the ECU is cutting in and out its not likely its a bad ground (though I suppose it could happen) more...
  19. Wheel balance, what does it affect?

    "wouldn't surprise me because the 16 year old kid drove the car for 2 months before me."Ahhh christ :laugh: :cry:Cant imagine what I would of done to my car had I owned it when I was 16. :eek:
  20. Need Head Work

    http://www.kunkelservice.com/aboutus.htmSorry they eastcoast only it seems :)
  21. Need Head Work

    Kunkels did good work on my engine. If they have kunkels near you they are parts stores kind of like autozone just focusing more on actual parts rather than dress up items and what not and most of them have machine shops in them as well.
  22. Ticky engine

    You can get revised lifters here: http://www.extrememotorsports.com/g1cat/engine.htmI believe there is someone you can get them from for like 7 bucks each or something. Someone might know who/where that is but I dont.Either way those are the lifters you need.
  23. 1st Gen worth $750?

    "But, how unlikely is it that it could just need a new oil pump and timing belt?"Very unlikely. If the seller thought that it probably wouldnt be for sale right now.
  24. 17's VS. 18's

    I would get 17's, lower the car about 1.5 inches and itll look perfect.
  25. Need help on ecu question immediately!!

    90's do have a different ECU. As far as your problems I cannot say but if its not a 90 ECU I would get it outta there and find the right one anyway.
  26. '90 TSi AWD runs like pooh

    "i am in the process of changing the oil with Mobil 1 15W-50 (for turbo motors)"I dont think thats a good idea. :|
  27. HELP ECLIPSE Vs. AWD

    "JESUS CHRIST, DID YOU POST THE SAME QUESTION ENOUGH GODDAMNED TIMES?"You know I swear it wasnt like that when I first replied to this post. :laugh:
  28. Just bought this need some help

    You will need it :laugh:Hey, blessing in disguise it was an automatic. Im not saying autos are worthless a well setup racing auto tranny is a beast but I dont know too many people that actually prefer automatics over manuals at least when it comes to performance cars. At least for us small...
  29. HELP ECLIPSE Vs. AWD

    Well they make AWD turbo eclipses too so its not like youre limited to a talon. IMO eclipses look better (2gs anyway, the 1gs all look pretty much the same with minor exterior styling, wings, small factory body kits)If you wanna go fast and do it cheap get a 1G turbo pre 92 (best motor) For...
  30. Lost in Engine land

    Correct me if Im wrong here but you have a 1.8 motor right? Thata a Single over head cam engine. The 2.0L is a duel overhead cam you cannot swap heads.At least it wouldnt be easy lol.
  31. Can someone compress this image for me?

    For future reference when working with images you might want to try www.acdsee.com or get a "copy" of photoshop somewhere -whistles- :shhh:
  32. 1st Gen worth $750?

    Figure 900 for the block rebuild including labor (at least thats what I paid) 300 or so for the head and around 1200ish for the labor to have it all put back in. Unless of course you do it yourself. Add in timing belt, tensioners, balance shaft belts, new gaskets, water pump and anything else...
  33. 1.8-2.0 engine swap

    Dont #### with it.He is right, I would not spend the time and money to get a turbo motor put in, you will need a new tranny, ECU, an intercooler and god knows what else.For the amount of money you would spend putting a turbo 4g63 or even the NT 2.0 motor in that thing you could buy a...
  34. Having a problem shifting

    Well from my exp. When a release bearing is worn out it makes more of a sound like a rattling rather than a hiss and also it didnt make noise until I pressed the clutch pedal not while it was in gear. Though that was on a different kind of car so Im not sure what noise it will make on my DSM...
  35. Drivers side power window wont go down

    Took a piece of sandpaper and cleaned off all the metal contacts inside the Driver door P/W switch. Works fine. :thumb:Was praying the whole time it wasnt the motor because that thing looks like a PITA to get out.I also fixed another minor problem I had with the power window switch...
  36. Drivers side power window wont go down

    Also something else strange happened today. I got in started the car up and the radio was doing its normal thing where its all fuzz for a minute or so. While it was doing that I was trying to get the window to go down hitting the button a few times and everytime Id hit the button the static from...
  37. Drivers side power window wont go down

    I never have trouble with the passenger side. Today the drivers side window would not move. The funny part is I just parked it and rolled up the window hung around at a friends house for a while than got in maybe an hour later and the window would not work. Now just as I get home (around 4 am)...
  38. correct way to tighten alternator belt?

    A chilton/haynes or shop manual explains which order they tighten in. My shop manual is at my uncles or Id tell ya, sorry. :cry:
  39. Speed

    I remember a thread many months back about some jackass young kid who didnt even have his liscense yet got caught by his dad taking the 2g talon up and down the street doing burnouts. I ragged on him about how he drove and he tries to act like he will be a good driver. :shhh:
  40. How are Autometer gauges

    I had autometer as well never had problems with them. The only thing I can say is check them on the shelf before you buy look at where the needle is setting in when its in the box I noticed a few of them were off by a little, some by alot. One was just sitting at 5 psi instead of 0.I dont...
  41. Just bought a DSM

  43. need quick answer, did search

    They are made from Iridium... Ya know the metal that supposed to come from a meteor...Not cracking or anything but does anyone else really believe that? I just cannot justify the cost of them at all.But if you did buy them and paid alot of money (spark plug wise) I could see why you would...

  48. Where can I buy 1g ECU caps?

    Yah Ill check it out. I just dont want to drive this thing too much. Along with the damage it could cause and the fact I look like a total ass stalled out at a stoplight with 50 people behind me :(
  49. Where can I buy 1g ECU caps?

    Hmm they have tons of stuff there but Panasonic isnt in the manufactures list and the part numbers I need are:ECA-1HHG470 ECA-1HHG220 ECA-1EHG101Ive found the caps on ebay easily I just hope they get shipped out quickly and the seller doesnt screw around and wait a week before even...
