Finally time to let this thing go. PMs are the best way to get ahold of me.12k oboLocated in Southern NH https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/1995-eagle-talon-built-400awhp/6723710303.html?lang=en&cc=us

Hey guys, So I dropped off my car to get dyno'd last week and when I got it back I noticed that the voltage was low (have a voltage gauge) while the car was running. I figured that something happened with the alternator during the dyno tuning so I went ahead and got a reman 90 amp alternator and...

Hey guys, I just got my car on the road for the first time since doing a few things to it over the winter. Everything seems to be going well except for the fact that my speedometer isn't working. I know that it's not a problem with the cluster because ECMlink isn't logging speed either so it...

Hey guys, I pulled my engine to do some work in the engine bay, and while the engine was out I wanted to inspect the clutch. I put the clutch in brand new and it has only a few thousand miles on it, but upon removing it from the engine it appears to have an unusual heat mark on the flywheel. It...

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my Innovate MTXL gauge and I want to see if anyone has had the same problem before I go buy a different wideband. The issue I'm having is that sometimes the gauge will get stuck on "HTR" and won't read AFR values. I am simulating my front narrowband...

Hey guys, Not trying to :beatentodeath: but I'm preparing to perform my battery relocation this weekend and wanted to get your opinion on something. I would consider my car a street car but want it to be NHRA legal for when I want to go to the track. So I already have all the supplies needed to...

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out here. Im trying to get my rings replaced, but I've come up with a situation. I bought the engine used, and was told it has JE pistons, so I bought JE piston rings and dropped it off with my tuner so he could do the swap for me. Well it...

So long story short, I bought my project car with no engine in it and bought a built engine off someone from the forums. I've finally installed every mod that I want to so it's time to get ready to get the car tuned and painted. It really only has idle time on it but it's been burning oil every...

Well this was the first time I have ever driven my car on the streets and some new symptoms came up I'm hoping you can tell from the logs. The most noticeable thing I felt was that the car felt like it was lacking a lot of power. It almost felt like my eclipse felt when my cat was completely...

This is the engine for the talon ive been building, it's smoked ever since I got it running but I was hoping it was just that I rebuilt the turbo wrong. Today I pulled off the exhaust manifold to swap another one on and saw that there was oil in the exhaust passages :( Can someone just confirm...

So the issue I'm having is that while idling if I give it gas the rpms continue slightly longer than I press on the pedal, almost like it's delayed and the rpms drop slower than they would normally. I've checked everything mechanical wise such as throttle cable(no cruise btw) throttle plate,TPS...

(Mods in Profile) I'm attempting to idle tune my setup and am running into a few problem areas. First thing is that I can't get airflowperrev to be lower than ~.40, I've made changes to deadtime and MAFcomp but none really seem to effect it. Will having airflowperrev this high hurt anything, or...

Well like the title says I'm trying to properly adjust my biss using ECMlink but I'm having a problem I couldn't find with searching. When I start my car and let it idle until normal operating temp, ISCposition will slowly drop down to zero, and no adjustments made to the biss screw will change...

I'm hoping you guys can watch the video and tell me what you think is wrong. It's a 6 bolt head on a 7 bolt block so it has the 1g cas. It is set to non 95-96 cas in link and the wiring order to coil pack is (Spark plug wires and coil pack from left to right) 1 is to 4 on the coil pack, 2 is to...

So I just put my transmission onto my block and dropped the setup into my engine bay. While I was connecting all the things that need to be connected in the engine bay I connected the shift linkage and decided to try and shift into the gears but the shifter would not go to the right past where...

Long story short, when I bought my project car, the guy gave me all the bolts he kept in little coffee can things. Well tomorrow i'm going to be bolting up my transmission to my block and want to make sure I'm using the right bolts. This is the first time I'll be using any bolts the guy gave me...

I know there are a good amount of threads out there already documenting the transmission to block dowel pins but there aren't many if any pictures about the exact locations of them so I just want to make sure I have them understood before I try to mount my transmission to the block. Which...

I'm going to try and explain this as simply as possible but bear with me as there is a lot of information I'm trying to understand. So I'm getting closer to buttoning up the last components of my build and started putting all the parts onto my built engine. The engine is a 6 bolt head on a 7...

I just bought this aluminum radiator from Punishment Racing and pulling it out of the box there are already bent fins. I've never bought a radiator before so I don't know if this is common or if I should send it back. For what it's worth this is the side thats going to be covered with the shroud...

Hey guys, I'm tearing further into my build and pulled the old clutch setup off the old engine I got with my shell. Come to find out the flywheel on it looks brand new. That being said, is there any way to tell what brand flywheel it is just by looking at it? There are no marking on it but I...

On my project car I just pulled out the full exhaust, which is 3" straight to a thermal r&d muffler, but looking at the muffler part it seems that it has become separated where the barrel part meets the tip part. I'm going to eventually bring it to the local exhaust shop to see if he can fix...

Hey everyone, my name is Taylor and this will be the build thread of my 95 Talon AWD. This is the second DSM I have owned, with my GST being the first and I have loved every second of owning a DSM. My goals for the Talon is to make it a CLEAN 450hp DD on pump gas. This is going to be an ongoing...

Well, I just took a pretty big risk and bought a 95 AWD Talon that definitely needs some love. Engine and tranny is currently out of the car based on current owner saying that the timing was off and developed a knock. I plan on having the engine completely rebuilt with new parts but really dont...

I've already read several threads but to the people who have already removed their harmonic balancer, was it easy enough that I would be able to do it without screwing up my timing? That's the only thing I'm scared about because I've read that people have accidentally done that. I see that its...

So im finally ready to start looking for a gsx. I have plans to build it up to 400-450hp and use it as a daily driver pretty much, with my GST as a beater. Currently I've been ignoring every ad for a gsx if it had a stock motor because I feel like I'll just have to replace it anyway to reach my...

Last night, I went to start my car and heard a terrible knocking noise. I immediately shut it off and opened the hood and saw that my alternator belt was completely off the alternator bearing. However, the belt was still tight. My instincts point to the crank pulley as the culprit because I have...

So I finally had time to fix what I thought was an exhaust leak at the downpipe, but it turns out it's coming from the cat instead. I thought it was the heat shields around the cat rattling but it's coming from inside the heat shields.It rattles when my rpm's are low, ie idling, coming to a...

View My VideoIt sounds like it's coming from the left side middle-back area. Its that like scratchy mechanical noise. Anyone heard this before? It happens every startup but goes away like you heard in the video.

A problem i thought i fixed is coming back with new problems. Randomly when i go to turn on my car, when i turn the key to start it, all electrical dies.if i jiggle the battery around the power comes back. Ive already ran new grounds with 4 gauge wire and replaced the ground terminal a few...

Ive been having a really hard time trying to make up my mind. Right now I have a gst but want to upgrade to a gsx. Is it worth it in the end to get a shell and a motor and build it over the winter? Or would I be better off saving until winter is over and then buying an already running gsx? Im...

I just did my routine blt and noticed air coming out of what I believe is the crankcase vent hose,(it's the one on the left of the valve cover and connects into the intake). I removed the oil cap and continued to do the blt and heard what sounded like oil bubbling... this has me concerned. Can...

Ok so I'll try to get as specific as I can regarding my problem. I was having a squeal at startup pretty much every time my car sat for 4 hours or more. Sometimes it would start rough when the squeal was going to be especially loud. The squeal would go away if I put the car into gear and dropped...

Im trying to replace the power steering belt and removed both of the bolts that hold it to the mounting bracket, and both the pivot bolts but it still isn't moving when I try to push it to loosen the belt. Is there a bolt I'm missing cause I dont see anything holding it in place.I think I...

Alright so i feel like an idiot asking this, but i went to firestone to get an alignment and they said they couldnt perform the alignment until i replaced my right REAR tie rod end. So i said ok let me do it myself, they were trying to charge me 160$ to do it WTF. Well today i jack up the rear...

So i just replaced the master clutch cylinder. After bleeding the clutch was very soft and the engagement point was way to close to the floor. i went out this morning and when i pushed on the clutch it fell to the floor. I bled the system(gravity bled) more and adjusted the rod to where the...

I replaced the master clutch cylinder because it was leaking onto my carpet. Before i replaced it the clutch was stiff but felt good. Now the clutch has very little pressure and is very easy to press. Also, when i release the clutch it slows down slightly before making it all the way to resting...

Not sure where to put this but I need another opinion. A guy is selling an ACT 2100 clutch, MBI-HDG4, which is new. He's selling it for 60$. Typically how much should these go for? I'm thinking about buying it for 60$ and just selling it on here. Is it worth it? Pictures he supplied...

First off I have a 1g bov. During yesterdays boost leak test I noticed that air was escaping through the recirculation tube part of the bov when putting 15-18psi through the system. Does this mean the diaphragm is bad? Anyway i can test it on a 1g or should i just replace it?

I always wash my car by hand but no matter what i do I cant avoid the water droplets from drying on the car and looking terrible. I have a chamois but even then there are still droplets that dry on the car. What are some techniques you guys use?

So apparently my cat is welded to my catback, yes literally welded. I've been thinking about getting a catback but if i do does this mean I'd either have to buy a new cat(which im not doing) or get a test pipe and a catback? If/when i go with a test pipe, how many of you put on a cat for...

Well the video kinda stinks cause the lens isnt wide angle so its pretty close up, but i hope you can see all that. It looks like a ton of gunk and oil around the oil pan area. Does it look like its leaking from the top of the oil pan? Should i try to clean off the oil and then run it a week and...

For the past 3 times, after I've done a boost leak test I get a CEL. But if i pull my ground terminal and reset the ECU it goes away. What do you think causes this? I've never pulled the code but im just curious if this happens to anyone else.Also, I just fixed my injector seals which were...

Like the title says, i found a loose wire under my alternator that plugs into the oil filter area. I see a loose wire and an empty snap on connector so I'm guessing it goes there but can anyone confirm?Connector in red, wire in yellow

Sooo trying to get the supporting mods going before getting a bigger turbo so I figured i might as well throw in an AFPR because I can do that without effecting anything else. I found this one on ebay, it comes with all the fittings and is over 100$ less than the name brands. Should i go for it...

Ok so now that high school's over, and maintenance is done, im hoping to get all my upgrades situated so when the time comes i can feel comfortable buying everything. Here's everything I plan on getting, let me know if you have some suggestions. My plan's is to have a daily driver that can...

I just put on my rebuilt throttle body that i got from Steve at throttlebodys.com. After my test drive i noticed something odd. When i push on the gas it doesnt engage immediately, it takes an inch or so of pushing then the car goes. Also, when i let on/off the gas the car like lurches a bit...

First of all, how does my head look? Anything look bad?Second, i noticed when taking off most of my outer screws for my valve cover that they were really loose. And then realized when putting the valve cover back on that they wouldnt bite. Did the previous owner like strip the threads in...

I'm replacing my throttle body with a rebuilt one and just got the coolant lines on. I'm trying to reconnect the IAC sensor and it's magically disappeared. I literally can not find this stupid thing. Can someone show me where to trace the wire with the sensor on the end? I know where it attaches...

Just trying to confirm my suspicion. I have a couple videos trying to pinpoint exactly whats happening. I went looking for an exhaust leak because i can smell fumes when driving with the windows open FYI.Does this sound like gasket leak "ticking"? Its hard to hear but it sounds like two...

Which side blows the AC and which side keeps the engine cool? Cause with the AC on only one of my fans goes on which is the drivers side. My AC doesnt work so im thinking its the passenger side but am just trying to clarify. I'll delete this once it gets answered.
