    Yeah, I haven't completely convinced myself to sell yet. I already have my bike. I worked 48 hours of overtime on the last check and just went and bought one. Didn't get another rocket though. Got a cruiser this time. Soooo much easier on my back and I can walk when I get home after an all...

    Ok boys... I'm selling out! I don't have the time to finish this damn car... lol! not really interested in parting it out. Will sell the car, and all the parts I have for $2500. Firm! For those who don't know, it's a 1993 Talon TSi AWD, automatic. I have a brand new engine on the stand for...

    lets talk welding helmets

    That is one bad ass hood! Wish I had a good excuse to buy one. I just can't justify it because I only weld a few times a year. I was thinking about the auto tint shield from HF myself. What was your opinion of it?

    Exhaust?

    The guy I bought my block from had an ebay 3", but he cut the ebay muffler off and replaced it with a flowmaster. It sounds amazing! Very deep thoaty idle; nothing like you find on your local 15 year olds civic. It was by far the best sound I have heard on a 4 banger yet.Just my two...

    why isn't my tensioner extending?

    the special tool is to compress the tensioner when you replace a belt. Belts stretch as they get older which is the point of the tensioner in the first place. The tensioner keeps the belt tight on all the sprockets so it doesn't jump teeth and cause lots of pain and heartache for the engine...

    Hey Spade, What's happening? The engine is almost done now! I should be ready to drop it in there in the next few weeks.Yeah, Tiger, the tarp is doing a good job keeping it dry in there. I'm about ready to strip the interior out of it and start prepping the body for paint. Think I will...

    Well, That is still kinda up in the air... I know it will have black and copper in it (obviously). But I'm not sure how I will use each yet. I thought about a deep black, like piano black with a decent size copper flake in it. I thought about using the "panda" scheme, but with the black and...

    Well, I am getting it done just a little at a time... taking my crank sprocket to work tomorrow and making the tool so I can torque the bolt. Then I will assemble the rest of the engine... then be ready to put her in

    yeah man! I haven't given up... I worked a lot of OT the past few months so I haven't had a lot of time. I have also decided to just bite the bullet and go with the turbo I want along with the exhaust mani, and cams. Just do it now while the engine is on the stand rather than try to install...

    I am still here, just not as much as I was at first. The car is still coming. That is about all I can say about it. I think the day I watched as the tree limb fell through the hatch glass, kinda took the wind from my sails. I haven't given up though. I really need to have a day or two off...

    It appears to my highly trained eyes to be the ever so elusive eastern European Jackalope print. This is the only known mammal in the world that has both male and female sex organs and reproduces by laying it's eggs underwater. While normally very doscile, they can become quite aggressive if...

    New 4G63t Book

    Not a problem... I bought the book when I got my Talon because this is my first DSM. I expected to find it telling me to use parts A for this horsepower and parts B for this horsepower. What I got was a lesson in turbocharged engines that went beyond any of my previos formal training. It will...

    New 4G63t Book

    no, this book is more of an IDEA book. It doesn't say, you need these pistons, this crank, these rods, this turbo and these injectors to make this power. What it does is take your overall knowledge of engines to the next level. It teaches you how to read your turbo map, how to calculate...

    Show us your DIY paint job!

    this was one of my favorite colors when I worked at the Plant here in Spartanburg. I love the how the blue shows through on it. They actully had several really unique colors. Nice choice, looks great on the car, and all that prep work shows... GOOD JOB:hellyeah:

    4G63T Build Questions

    spend the extra money and get some better cams... brian cower cams are ok, but you can get more for your money with a set of comp cams, or hks, crower (not brian crower), etc... Some sites that sell BC cams don't really recommend them. Just my two cents on this, maybe someone else has some...

    Go back to school??

    Let me just say, I worked outside as a construction helper before I went to school. I would find a career that will allow you to work in a heated and cooled environment. I like the aeronautic choice myself. South Carolina just got a new Boeing facility, and there is a lockheed plant right...

    Go back to school??

    Go for it man... even if you can only take a class or two each semester, get it done. I only have an associates degree, but even that completely changed my life. I haven't made less than $70k since I got my degree. Compare that to never making MORE than $25k prior to graduation. Not only...

    Russian, I saw ## other post too, I agree you should just splice into the hot wire for the fan and connect the relay for the slim fan. DO NOT just wire both fans together. This could burn the wiring to both fans. just run the relay for the new fan off the same hot wire. This way when the...

    why do they have to take the column apart? there should be at least one spare fuse slot in the box that is only powered when the switch is on... I would tell them to put the damn car back the way they found it and refund your money. Good lord, a fifth grader could have wired it like that and...

    yeah, he said he checked them all, that's why I kept digging. I don't know what method he used though. I know sometimes a visual check will not be enough on some of these things.

    Parking Job

    That's not true... When I wrecked my bike, it broke my collar bone. Got up checked my brand new ruined helmet, cussed about my ripped jeans, then I stood the almost 400lbs bike all by myself. All before my riding partner could even realize I wasn't behind him anymore. The collar bone didn't...

    yes, it is near the fuse box, but a little toward the front of the car. Probably about 3 inches below and forward of the box

    I just changed mine too... It's much easier if the engine is out of the car... LMAO
  41. Palmetto_TSi

    Electrical Issues please help!

    the "relay" should be attached to the car and is located just underneath the air intake pipe. It is black and square, should have 4 wires attached to it. Probably says omron on the top. You may have to remove the intake pipe... (the one that goes from the air filter to the turbo) to see it.

    we are getting there... Just try to be patient. the relay I wrote about earlier should take care of the lights on the dash. It COULD take care of the other stuff too... I'm not sure yet though.

    Electrical Issues please help!

    The info I have been giving you has been from a factory manual. The wiring diagram is difficult to follow at best. I am an elctronics/ electrical technician by trade, and have used diagrams that range from old school before I was even born, to new ladder style, to european standard diagrams...
  45. Palmetto_TSi

    Electrical Issues please help!

    Not a problem. From what you are telling me, you may have a broken wire coming from the relay box under the hood leading to the "junction box" or fuse box in the cabin. The good news is, with the info you are giving me, we can probably find it. Just be patient, and eventually we will get to...

    Electrical Issues please help!

    ok, there is a relay that activates the field coil on the alternator. If it doesn't engage, the lights will stay on in the dash. It may also have something to do with some of the other stuff. It is above the transmission, on or near the fender well. It is a black connector with 4 wires. It...

    Just a heads up, almost everything runs through that alarm system and the atacs(?) computer. I will do some more digging when I get home. In the mean time, go through everythiong on your cars and list EVERYTHING that doesn't work, dome light, foot light, glove box light, heater blower, A/C...
