My flywheel survived thankfully, and I ended up getting my clutch rebuilt for ~$160:ohdamn:

The same thing is happening to me right now and happened almost 2 years ago. My Spec clutch ended up spitting a spring out. I've read that it could be caused by an alignment issue between the engine and transmission.

FTO eh? I'll be the first to admit I had to google that one.How much power did it take for the 10.55 run?

A guy at my local dsm shop was shocked to find the splash guard that goes in-between the sub frame and the frame rail on the drivers side that covers the crank pulley area. :boring:

My commute is 45 minutes of freeway with many overpasses and it never opens unless I mean to. Sure, if I pass someone in a hurry I can open it up but even then I'm just being overly aggressive since it goes plenty fast before the waste gate even begins to open.If any of you are worried about...

I'll be getting rid of this sometime this year either selling it complete or parting it out depending on how much it goes for.1993 Eagle Talon TSI with 174k miles and no rust, ~35k on the 6 bolt shortblock since getting 2G pistons/1G rods, BSEK, and 3G Lifters. ~3k miles since head...

Let it sit some more, it's been well over a month now. Still don't have the motivation to diagnose the issue since I'm almost positive I know what it is(TB skipped). In the mean time my WRX has been extremely reliable, wish I could say the same for my Talon... :(

Hopefully another problem, like LiquidX said it could be your oil filter housing in which case:FFWD Connection - Race Injuns That Will Freeze Your BrainYou can do like I did and get rid of any possibility of it ever occuring again. Be sure to flush the oil as best you can out of the...

It was on the car when I got it last year. Jusmx141 is the guy who originally bought it, rebuilt it, and sold it to one of the previous owners of my car.

Check your intake and clean if necessary, and clean up your j pipe as well.Follow this walk-through to install a cheapy catch can to eliminate it as a source of the oil.Install a catch can for your DSM (2G)If you still get oil your turbocharger will need to be rebuilt. If you need...

So just to be clear, you had the J pipe off during the rebuild and it was clean/cleaned during that time and now it is not?

It very well could be the turbo, but your getting ahead of yourself since there are other places the oil can be coming from. If you still have your valve cover breather hose hooked up to your intake without a catch can that is the most likely source of the oil.Do a search and you'll have all...

I'm not sure what the difference is between a Blouch 18G and my plain old ported MHI 18G, but I LOVE my turbocharger. Before I rebuilt the top end it had a choppy tune and was still a blast to drive, and had plenty of top end. It spools quick enough that in 5th gear @ 55mph, which is what I...

This.I bought a used head from a local shop that was damn near virgin since the entire head warped and my machine shop didn't have the equipment to bring the cam bores back in line.

And the machinist he had do the work said that finish is ~12-16, which if he is able to grab anything with his nail it clearly isn't near that smooth since that would be like the surface of a magazine or a plastic spoon. I'm not saying Bogus is wrong, but what I'm getting at is he should call...

I vote you shouldn't listen to a bunch of different people with varying experience on an online forum. Try getting in touch with a shop(try one of the vendors, Darren @ FFWD was extremely helpful when I did mine) who do these things day in a day out. Just because a few people here have had...

I try to but 2 months after getting it a clutch spring retainer broke and it was down for 2 months for that, and recently for over 6 months after my head lifted while getting tuned. But I did have another car to drive during that time so I was able to take my time and do other things I wanted...

Aren't the numbers slightly lower for a 1G? I don't know the exact numbers but the one that stands out is the CEL light being somewhere around 220 for a 1g since they run a bit cooler...

I know how you feel, it took me almost 3 months to get it up and running after that. It took forever to get the motivation to finally get it back on the road.I'm on 6 months now for a lifted head, happened only 2 months after the clutch so as you can imagine I REEEEEEEALY don't have ANY...

I run a Joe P as well, they carry a lifetime warranty! :hellyeah:

It won't be too much longer before I get mine back on the road, just have to find a place to get some head work done at. Before the head lifted while getting tuned it was at 27psi and pulled very hard according to my tuner, can't wait to get it back to him and see what it will do.It's just...

I did a quick look on the website, and they no longer have the step by step progress of the black neon. This pic says a little bit about what I was talking about.That's all I can find...

Hahn Racecraft did this with that black neon that set all those records way back in the day. They took it into the 10's IIRC before finally pulling the motor for a proper rebuild.

With my setup it was spiking 27psi tapering to 19 by redline. Couldn't tell you an IDC, but I have 850cc and a 255 so it wasn't high at all...

Good money in that field! A guy down the street from me is a nurse and he has all kinds of toys!

While for a student I'm sure that is pretty good money for such little work, but try being a process operator on a smooth running reforming unit in a refinery. You'd be disgusted at how much we get paid for how little we work...Just saying...EDIT: Looks something like this, the big tall...

Little late to the party, but when I lived in Harris County, all they did was hook the car up to a scanner and check for whatever, and then they did a safety inspection.

I noticed after wards it looked like I had a leak but I don't. I happened to park just right to where it looks like it was my car.
