Posting up a thread about my 95 eagle talon tsi. Sadly I am in need of some motivation/ help. But first some back ground. Me and my dad drove out to castle rock WI to look at this. The car came with a big 16g, FMIC, and a set of gauges that were not hooked up (Boost, A/F, and Oil pressure) and was said to be on 560cc injectors.
I drove the car in this condition for a while, being gentle on it and getting used to it. I also put on my xxrs that i had siting in my closet. I eventually got the wideband hooked up along with the other gauges. First thing that i noticed is that the transmission was grinding.
When i went to drain the trans. there was no fluid in it. So i yanked it out and found what resembled a bolt. Some how a bolt got pushed through the bell housing and was dancing around with my clutch. So I went in with a ACT 2900 clutch, along with a fidanza lighten fly wheel, and a stock trans. that i found local along with a 2gb talon front bumper. And this was the start of the parts bug.
After i got the the new trans in i didnt drive the car much as i was looking to get it tuned and have it be reliable and get the true power out of it. So boxes started to show up.
2ga headlights for the 2gb talon front bumper
3gen revised lifters
crower 272/272
hallman MBC
aeromotive AFPR
-8an valve cover
-8an catch can
880 PTE injectors
walbro 255
Big 16g
B&M short throw
non-cruise cable
rebuilt 1g throttle body with by-pass plate
Hks sequential blow off valve
3in turbo back megan racing exhaust
1g cas
megan racing 32 way coilovers
ingals front camber kit/home made rear
So the car became a garage queen and for the next month or so it was all about putting these parts on. After i had all this together i was was ooppss i need to get something to tune with. And being in college and low on funds i went with a black box ecu and was gonna flash.
That was easier said then done. My first round of attempting to tune i bricked my first ecu. So bummed out i acquired the help of someone that knew how to flash. And after about a month of getting no where. Running into problems every day, boost leaks every where ( now all fixed), bad fuel pump, not holding fuel pressure at all ( still have this issue), bad maf, and just inconstancy with how the car preformed.
After stopping the tuning the car was parked and forgot about. Now is the time to get things figured out, i really have problems tuning the car. So trying to get back into the car i started with scanning for DTC using evo scan. What i am getting is really unpredictable so here is a list of all the codes that have showed up in the ten times i have scanned:
vehicle speed sensor
barometric sensor
knock sensor
injector circuit
fuel pump relay
ignition coil
ignition circuit
Thats the total list but today when i went to get the codes i was only getting these
Egr sensor
ignition coil
ignition circuit
And i have my egr blocked off, and with the current tune it will start and idle but idles rough with a little idle surge. And i have not drove the car in about 2 months.
The goals for the car is to be a reliable 300AWHP DD and from there its only going up.
Looking to get some motivation/ help on what to do next, i think i should start with the DTC codes and get it drive able so i can go get an alignment and then a tune by a shop ! Right now this is how the car stands with the driver fender and front bumper off, with paint coming.
