Really? Would you be willing teach us when it comes time for a rebuild? I've got my eyes on a performance rebuild kit from IPT. Just waiting until I need to rebuild it to do so.

Yeah. If it was driveable, I could bring it though any time since I'm working in Nashville right now anyway, but I don't have the time right now with work. Come May I will. We planned on replacing the axle at the same time with whatever we end up doing, since it's needed one of those for...

Damn. And my husband thinks I'm bad. Lol. I'd love another trans, since mine's already a replacement from a burn car, but automatic AWD transmissions are nearly impossible to come by. Last time I found one was over five years ago in Georgia or Florida.

I don't remember the numbers. It was over a year ago now. We were thinking the same, but we don't have the tools to test it ourselves. I was keeping an eye out for an engine anyway. Like I said, I wanted a spare so I won't have to be without AWD.

Just smoke. Otherwise it runs fine. But I mean clouds of blue smoke to the point of not being able to see or breathe. It was coming through the vents and everything.

Same here. Luckily, the engine I bought was from a state trooper, so I'm pretty confident there's nothing to worry about. He got rid of his Eclipse to focus on an Evo.

I don't know what happened to the old engine. It just started smoking like a chimney as I left the gas station. Shop said it failed a compression test and the turbo seals and o rings were shot.

I found an engine in Pulaski. My reasoning is so I'll have something in the car so I can drive it while I rebuild the other. I can't afford to not have my AWD at the ready, since my Prius sucks in snow and rain. Seriously. It couldn't get up the driveway hill in a dusting of snow. I had to...

That would be awesome. Thanks

I'm from the Midwest US, but I was directed here for a very specific hard to find body piece for my 97 Talon. I'm searching for the little body molding midway up the passenger side door and quarter panel. I have a picture for reference. Mine got shattered in a wreck.

Looking to buy a stock, ready to drive 4g63 turbocharged engine for my 97 Talon. I have cash on hand and didn't want to risk buying online and having it shipped and get ripped off. I'd rather deal in person. I already have a turbo. Just need the engine.

Thanks for all the information and ideas guys. I posted a new list of plans for Toothless in my build journal based on the info gathered here, in case anyone wants to follow along.

.:Change of Plans:.So I've been discussing some different plans for Toothless lately and have come to a new set of Plans. Still sticking with as stock as possible, but with some upgrades.1. The Apexi Megaphone Dunk exhaust is still going on, though now as part of a cat back system.2...

Sounds like a front mount intercooler would be in my best interest. The hills around here give the turbo quite a workout. Lol. But will it fit with the stock bumper?

No problem! Glad I could help. Let me know if it works.
