I actually saw you towing this down the highway, (I'm assuming on your way home from buying it). Was merging onto 81 and there it was right in front of me. Very clean, best of luck with it.

Looking forward to it

:applause: This looks great. Keep up the good work

That is hopefully the plan once I get further along into the builds.

I just recently got the urge to get back into DSMs and actually came across 2 that a friend of mine had and lost interest in. Needless to say I am now the proud owner of a 92 5spd awd tsi as well as a 91 auto awd tsi (Both needing a lot of work). You're build is exactly what I have planned for...

Definitely looks similar as well.

http://www.rochesterdsm.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5791 Looking at the flange it looks a lot like the older Punishment Racing manifolds.

I never said because the car was old that nothing is going to fit. The point I was trying to make was they never came stock with fmics so ofcourse there is going to be some cutting and tweaking here and there. But I agree with what engineerthis87 said having to make things work is part of...

For all those complaining about fitment issues,you do realize that these cars never came with FMICS. So ofcourse there is going to be some cutting and fitment issues. I dont see anyone complaining to Mitsubishi about having to cut their front bumper so they can fit their FMIC. So why complain...

Havent been on in awhile and this was the last thing I wanted to hear when I did come back. Condolences to Brad and family. Im glad i was able to play a small part in this and am waiting to see video of the "car that tuners built" hit the track. RIP!!!!

Welcome,lets see some pics.:thumb:

Welcome, Please keep the Talon bumpers:pray:

They mistaked it for a Civic Si LOL

Very nice reminds my of my 86 turbo I had.

Personally i would just change the belt if I was only looking for 12s. But thats just me. If you dont want to have to change it everytime you do the timing belt then i would go with a bse kit.

Tell him to put a 4g63 in it lol

+1 Drop it all in at once it is so much easier to work on the motor with it outside the car.

Awesome to hear:thumb:

Thanks, appreciate it. I just hope they put the effort I was going to into it

Unfortunately my talon project has to go. I got this car with intensions of going through and completely restoring this car just the way I wanted it. But unfortunately I found out my wife will be getting laid off in December so it has to go. :cry: Its a 95 talon tsi awd shell. Has full gray...

If you have a 16g on it,it is not a stock turbo for your car. Your car would have came with a t25. And if it is a 16g it wont have any problem getting itself out of the way. I wouldnt worry about boost control until fuel upgrades are taken care of. I would reccomend following the upgrade path...

Just noticed this was an old thread.

Yes autos have a seprate control unit for the transmission. As for the OP try dsmgraveyard Im sure they would be your best bet.:thumb:

If there is nothing wrong with the 7bolt I would just run it and maybe pick up the 6bolt as a spare(you can never have enough spare motors). Perhaps even build the 6bolt as a project for you to do over time to eventually put in your car or if you come across another dsm in need of a motor for a...

The oil squirters are'nt really needed,alot of people actually remove them during their builds. Here is this to get you started http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/5986-4g63-nt-engine-how-make-turbo-kit.html

Normally they will have the brand on the housing such as Garrett, Turbonetics,and Precision.

Me and Trav83 are out of Binghamton

Yep Ebay turbo, dead give away is when they put "turbocharger" on the housing.

Yes you are going to want a wastegate exspecially on a non-turbo that is getting turboed. The wastegate restricts how much air that is allowed into the motor. Without one the turbo would just force as much air into the motor as it wanted in the end causing detination.

The smoke could be coming from the turbo but definately check all those over as well.

+1 Can ask what hes asking for it? That always helps on its a good idea to buy or not.

Looks a little familair:confused:

The bumper bolts right up, as for the eclipse swap read through this http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/appearance-interior-exterior/3752-converting-talon-eclipse-merged-3-8-a.html. Personally I prefer the 2gb talons so thats why am going with the 97 front bumper.

According to what Ive found its April.

Yes definately not a 97 as stated before either a 95 or 96. But its a damn good start swap that front bumper with a 97 thats what Im doing with my 95. Bets of luck:thumb:

Looks good,might have to give this stuff a try.:thumb:

Travis try and get a pic of that scion xb rolling around with the giant wing off the back.

Travis I see this one driving all over, the one i posted is the one from old vestal rd, a guy a work with wanted to buy it lol.

Bet you guys wish your dsm was this clean lol.:tease:

Correct smaller are 8mm and the larger are 10mm.

It definately sounds like its an auto wiring harness and the extra plug is for the tcu.

+1 on the Punishment kit.

Definately a 7bolt. I would also go with a 6bolt as everyone has already stated. But if you wanted to stick with the 7bolt,seeing its already torn apart Id start with getting some forged internals for it. But thats just me. Good luck with whatever way you decide.:thumb:

I got mine at my local parts store as well and I believe mine was also around $10.

Only the top of it is flat you would still have to shave the bottom part.

Try this definately a good bang for the buck.:thumb: Talon/Eclipse 2g short route fmic kit

Good looking car keep us updated.

I like it. Im actually digging the rims in white but panda would be sick too.
