I live north of Winston near pilot mountain and hanging rock if that qualifies as the mountains lol

Sweet build I'm in the process with my VR4. I live about an hour and a half from you if you ever want to cruise.

Build Update Decided to go ahead and pull the engine due to so much filth in the bay and to replace the clutch setup. The CVs are trash boots have been blown awhile making a mess. Should have some warm enough days this week to get the engine bay cleaned up hopefully.

Build update getting parts together to freshen everything up and make sure she is ready for some power adders.I also got oem oil pan bolts to fix this issue for the new timing belt.

Continued Disassembly and found some good reasons to freshen up and clean up previous poor repairs

After talking with Pot from the Gvr4 forums looks like I have a old RRE Intercooler kit so I’ll be using this on the car. Got started cleaning up the engine bay last night it’s a mess.

Trying to figure out what all I have with the car!

The old girl in the driveway.

Good to see your back making progress! I know what's it's like when you have to put things on the back burner to take care of life and all the things that come with it.

I met John today at hyper fest and talk to him for a bit super nice guy. I wasn't able to get my car there but still had a blast. Good to see a dsm kick ass!

Cleaned up the garage and got my summit aluminum wrench and vise jaws. They should make it easier to put my an fittings together. Waiting on my line an fittings to relocate my oil cooler.

Close its a large Honda generator I put wheels and a push bar on to make it easier for my company's owner to push around.

So I fixed where the short route intercooler piping comes through the core support. It was cut before I bought the car I just needed to remove a lot more for proper clearance.

I have collected a few more parts to go on this week. The jay racing alternator relocation kit with the hd steel bracket is very well made and I'm impressed with the craftsmanship.

I mounted the Omni 4 bar map sensor to a spot on the back of the intake manifold out of the way. My throttle elbow is having a bung welded in for the gm iat sensor. Once I know for sure this is where I want it I'll clean it up and paint it.

I made the first of many fuel lines from the factory fuel filter to the fuel rail with 6 an hose.

Most cases if it's anything other than a downpipe with the factory style flange it has to be custom. What kind of exhaust housing is on the turbo that bolts to the manifold?

Here's a little dirty mig weld I did in a hurry.

After getting the injector harness cleaned up I turned the injectors and got it all tucked away. I also got my an adapters put on the fuel rail.

Got the injector harness separated from the o2 and coolant sensors harness. The coolant sensor harness had a hard life and the plugs were broken and some missing. They will be rewired when all my plugs are in.

Dropped in my mitshimoto radiator to mount up and wire my new flexalite pusher fans. I wired both to the factory plug for ease of removal.

I am using some drop eng mounts I picked up here in the classifieds. I got my turbo and fp manifold mocked up.

Now that the motor is in the car started bolting things up some won't stay and is only for mocking things up.

I got the transmission bolted on with my new oem throw out bearing. Then we were ready to drop it in.

Once I had my long block together I installed my act 2600 and fidanza flywheel I found slightly used.

It was at this point I started to clean and install parts to make this short block into a long block. I decided to keep the balance shafts since the bottom end was factory 120k bottom end.

I have a lot done on the car and have decided to catch this thread up. I taped off the block and painted it with some wrinkle black. I think it turned out good.

Here are some more block pics and where my knock sensor melted.

I have the engine out and have been cleaning what I can. I found that my clutch may be original and my rear main seal was leaking. I need to pull the front case and inspect the oil pump.

I have the head at the machine shop getting cleaned up. Going to straighten out my mess of a harness this week and clean up the bay.

So, It has been awhile I bought a house and another car after I lost compression on cylinder 3. I have a garage now and started tearing it apart. I melted a spark plug and chipped a valve.

Here are some videos for everyone's enjoyment:hellyeah:THE CAR 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi Awd - YouTubeMY SHIFTER 1g 90 talon shifter - YouTube

I am army national guard out of NC and been in for 6 years

Installed a GM maf and a maft. I also installed a walboro 255 and rewired it also. Now I am looking at what to do next I have a Jmf catch can I need to plumb. I was thinking 550 injectors or something.

Ah nice how far a long is the build

Thank you CrackedDSM it is a really nice kit and fits well.So I am experiencing some issues with the car and need some guidance. Here is my post. Thanks guyshttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/473541-cooling-system-power-steering.html

Okay, I went and got a compression tester and also got a fuel filter cause it looks like it has never been changed. I will perform the test and let you know what I find. I hope it's not a head gasket I just spent a good bit on a radiator and turbo bolts/ gaskets.I don't have bubbles just when...

My coolant is more water right now however when I drive the car for a good while coolant pour out of the overflow and looks strange.Then I also have a problem the power steering leaks from the upper line and I don't know how to stop it.

Plan on posting some interior pictures today just upgraded the old busted speakers and radio. It makes a long ride more enjoyable being that I drive an hour to work 5 days a week.

Here is an update changed jobs to a much better one as a heavy equipment mechanic. My radiator went so I bought a mishimoto during extremepsi's Black Friday sale for 200 shipped. I also got the proper bolts and crush washers for the turbo oil return. Many upgrades to come just bought a walboro...

There are 2 black 1g's in king mine has a big front mount what color is your gs? I also have a red 2g with a carbon fiber hood and it has the pink evo 9 wheels. :hellyeah:

That came with the car uninstalled so I am not sure what brand.

Good call check this.

Well we could all meet in north winston university parkway at like walmart.

That is what I was thinking and I guess I will save up and have it built.

The passage does go to the oil pan however it may have got stuck on the way down I would break out the magnet and go looking.

I'm all for selling them just dont't have enough post on here I really want a good clean setup.I Really just need to get rid of these I feel like.
