Well I know this isnt that cool but im really excited about it. Finally got the holset on and took the dsm to the local 1/8 drag strip near my house. For 15 bucks and as many runs as you want you cant beat it. My fastest time ended up being a 8.50 @90 with a really bad 2.1 60. This was all done...
So basically this water pipe has had me at my whits end. It leaks, right where the o-ring is where the water pipe mates with the thermostat housing. I have an hx40 and had to dent the pipe to make it fit. Its seems obvious that this is why its leaking. I just bought a new water pipe and even...
Alright guys I have spent hours and hours reading through the holset threads and maybe I missed something but I have a couple questions. As I stated above I finally got my hx40 and i'm pretty excited to install it but since my last turbo (g60) failed due to improper oiling I want to get it...
Hey everybody its been forever since I posted on here regularly. Some of you may remember my talon which is currently on the back burner right now (awaiting HOLSET :thumb:). But its been on the back burner because of this my truck. Some of you may know that I got this truck as a daily almost a...

Alright sorry if this is kind of a newb question but here goes. So I have a power steering leak and its not coming from any of the high pressure lines from the pump but its coming from the line under the rack, that goes into the rack. Its a small line about a foot long that goes from the drivers...

So I finally was able to get dyno tuned this week. My first trip on the dyno I made 390 and then my south bend clutch took a shit. Once I got that all sorted out I went back for a second sesh and made about 430 at 26 psi. Not too bad I was hoping for more. My turbo and exhaust manifold are the...
So if some of you have been following my build or friends with me on FB you will see that I was dynoed last week and you will have also seen that my SBC clutch took a dump. The hub basically broke and 1 spring popped out and 1 spring broke in half. This occurred after a 400+ hp dyno pull.My...
Ok so heres the problem. As title kind of eludes to. My power door locks do not work. I really dont know whats going on. Both the passenger and drivers side dont work at all. Theres not even the clicking noise. I checked the fuse and it was good but i replaced it anyway. Still nothing. Do you...
Alright guys I know I have posted in a while so I thought I would inform those who care about my life and the life of my talon. Im kind of in the stage of a mini build right now. Im switching to a t3 setup and installing a JMF drag and billet s90. I say mini build because my car has been down...
Ok so heres my problem. I was installing new cams and idk when but 2 cam cap bolts broke. I tried using an extractor and that didnt work and I heated it an use the extractor and that still didnt work. Is my only option to pull the head and take it to the machine shop. My intake manifold and...
Alright so ive had some weird electrical problems with the talon. Ive always had these problems but now im feeling motivated to fix them. Plus i think some of my other problems are connected to the electrical issues.The first issue is my dash lights, even when my regular lights arent on...
Hey everyone i have yet another trans/clutch/ idk what else issue. So I just recently replaced my clutch with south bend ssx. I checked everything in the install and my problem still persists. I can shift into gear while the car is on which leads me to believe the clutch is not completely...
As the title states Ive been doing some maintenance while installing my new clutch after my ACT clutch failure. One of the things on my list was the slave cylinder. So I got a new slave from advanced then I purchased an ss clutch line from extreme PSI. After bleeding the system a couple times it...
Alright guys i just wanted to share with everyone my failed ACT clutch. It seems that for whatever reason the teeth on the clutch disk where the input shaft goes has completely sheared off. I dont know why or how this happened. Ive only had the clutch for 1500 miles. I drove the car very easy in...
As title says i have no gears. I can freely shift into the gears but nothing happens. Heres the story, I was at a stop sign and i shift into first, as i let the clutch out i hear a thud, and then nothing. the car just rolls. I can shift into the gears but nothing happens. When i push the clutch...
alright so tonight i decided i was going to swap back in my stock injectors. Im at home for the weekend from school and i was having issues tuning my FIC 1050s so i thought i would swap in the stock injectors. It seems everything has gone crazy. My idle is ridiculously high and it pulses. could...
Hello all yet again another newb question from me (bNasty)I think i finally have everything dialed in correct with speed density. I believe i have a decent cruise tune but im not 100% sure. One of the things i wanted to run by you guys is that im getting terrible gas mileage. Now i realize...
So heres my issue. As some of you know the talon is down with me at school. So ive been basically driving it on the daily. Ive been having some issues keeping the coolant temps down at idle. Coolant temps normally stay around 205-210 when just normal driving but when idling after a few minutes...
so unfortunately i could not get the 2gb talon bumper. but i needed a bumper so i could take the car back to school. ive finally wrapped my head around speed density which is awesome. For all those thinking about doing it you should. Couple little issues i have a really bad belt squeal but my...
alright so i have v3 lite and this will be the first of probably many newb questions. i can seem to figure out where to dial in my injectors. I dont have a fuel tab like in v3 i just have a section that says "injector comp" i have fic 1050s and i think i have them dialed in my my fuel trims are...

alright so heres my issue. Fresh motor 2.3 BSE (70 miles) fresh head and everything. but im experiencing what seems to be low oil pressure. The oil light doesnt come on. I have an autometer mechanical gauge hooke up and at idle it reads like barely 1-5 psi when cruising it does come up to about...
Alright guys so heres my problem. This week im back on break so i started to do some work on the talon. I buttoned up my interior and my battery relocation. I feel like this is a really newb problem but i have absolutely no power to anything right now. Its a new battery but i thought because it...
Alright guys i have a buddy and hes doing his clutch on his 03 v6 eclipse (yea i know not a dsm) so is there anything he should be worried about doing the clutch? Is is pretty straight forward? Does he need any special tools? Is is like doing the clutch on a gst or is there a sub frame...
So ive posted these pics around but i just thought that i would put the pictures all in place place in case anyone wants them. Hopefully ill be getting a 2gb talon front and ill put the hood on next break.Since everyone asks my suspension setup are EMUSA coilovers.
Alright i hate to ask this newbish question but im semi stumped. So as some of you may know i finally got my talon running. fresh motor and everything. I have fidanza cam gears and a gates racing timing belt if that matters. The problem is that the belt seems loose. I followed the vfaq to a t...
shot some pics in the pathetic snow we got. Oh and for those of you that are offended by me driving around with no bumper or hood I apologize. Apparently im hurting everyone's street cred.
Car is running pretty strong now. I go back to school on sunday so work will stop until next break, but anyway took some shots today. Enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1y7owNMnD0

So i was going through some old pics and i found pics i had when i first brought home the gst almost 2 years ago when i was 16. Its amazing to see where i started and what the car looked like and how its changed into what it is now and some of you probably already know.When i bought this car...
