Hi. I'm Matt, and as the title states, I'm a ToyotaHead, and recently got a 1993 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 5MT. I thought I got a smokin' deal on the thing ($475!) but it turns out I didn't get a very good car at all. I'm about three months into owning it, a little over $4k thrown at it, and I still have not heard it run even once. I joined here to get some help, tbh.
If the darn thing will ever run, here's what I'm going for after getting to know the car a bit: Basically stock-ish. I don't drag race, and I don't really need to go hella fast anywhere, at any time. I got a 2g MAF and aluminum intake tube, 2g throttlebody inlet elbow, and I'll be making some custom hard piping for the intercooler stuff. I got 2.5" exhaust pipe to make a custom exhaust, utilizing Vibrant Performance cat, resonator, and muffler. I'm a fabricator, so the intercooler and exhaust is going to have a little bit of fancy work integrated. I'll keep the 14b, but turn it up to ~16psi with a MBC, and have Denso 660s to cover the extra air. EPROM will be a White Shed stage 2, which basically just tunes for the 2g MAF and raises the redline to 8500 (plus some other tweaks to support, obviously) . That's about it for engine stuff.
I got some rad 17x7.5 +45 wheels for it already, and I'm waiting to get the car running before I mount them.
That's it. That's my DSM in a nutshell. I look forward to the experience here on DSMtuners!
