    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    Really? Would you be willing teach us when it comes time for a rebuild? I've got my eyes on a performance rebuild kit from IPT. Just waiting until I need to rebuild it to do so.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    Yeah. If it was driveable, I could bring it though any time since I'm working in Nashville right now anyway, but I don't have the time right now with work. Come May I will. We planned on replacing the axle at the same time with whatever we end up doing, since it's needed one of those for...

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    Damn. And my husband thinks I'm bad. Lol. I'd love another trans, since mine's already a replacement from a burn car, but automatic AWD transmissions are nearly impossible to come by. Last time I found one was over five years ago in Georgia or Florida.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    I don't remember the numbers. It was over a year ago now. We were thinking the same, but we don't have the tools to test it ourselves. I was keeping an eye out for an engine anyway. Like I said, I wanted a spare so I won't have to be without AWD.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    Just smoke. Otherwise it runs fine. But I mean clouds of blue smoke to the point of not being able to see or breathe. It was coming through the vents and everything.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    Same here. Luckily, the engine I bought was from a state trooper, so I'm pretty confident there's nothing to worry about. He got rid of his Eclipse to focus on an Evo.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    I don't know what happened to the old engine. It just started smoking like a chimney as I left the gas station. Shop said it failed a compression test and the turbo seals and o rings were shot.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    I found an engine in Pulaski. My reasoning is so I'll have something in the car so I can drive it while I rebuild the other. I can't afford to not have my AWD at the ready, since my Prius sucks in snow and rain. Seriously. It couldn't get up the driveway hill in a dusting of snow. I had to...

    WTB 2gb Talon body panels

    I'm from the Midwest US, but I was directed here for a very specific hard to find body piece for my 97 Talon. I'm searching for the little body molding midway up the passenger side door and quarter panel. I have a picture for reference. Mine got shattered in a wreck.

    WTB 2g 4g63 turbo engine

    Looking to buy a stock, ready to drive 4g63 turbocharged engine for my 97 Talon. I have cash on hand and didn't want to risk buying online and having it shipped and get ripped off. I'd rather deal in person. I already have a turbo. Just need the engine.

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    Thanks for all the information and ideas guys. I posted a new list of plans for Toothless in my build journal based on the info gathered here, in case anyone wants to follow along.

    Slow going build for the 97 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

    .:Change of Plans:.So I've been discussing some different plans for Toothless lately and have come to a new set of Plans. Still sticking with as stock as possible, but with some upgrades.1. The Apexi Megaphone Dunk exhaust is still going on, though now as part of a cat back system.2...

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    Sounds like a front mount intercooler would be in my best interest. The hills around here give the turbo quite a workout. Lol. But will it fit with the stock bumper?

    2G Help with IDLE

    No problem! Glad I could help. Let me know if it works.

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    I have one more question I didn't think of: if I upgrade the turbo, will I have to upgrade the intercooler as well? I forgot all about the intercooler since the stock one is so small. Lol

    2G Help with IDLE

    I had this same problem with my second Talon, Christine. It was the idle air control valve, which sits on the back of the throttle body if I'm remembering correctly. It had gotten stuck and it was idling at 2500 rpms and would climb when in park.

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    I found this thread with Google: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-cure-boost-creep-by-porting.186525/.I don't know why it didn't show any results when I searched it on here. But are there any other ways to fix boost creep besides porting? Just in case?

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    Cat back eventually. Right now we're just cutting off at the old muffler. Pretty much just for better sound at this point since we want to get the Apexi out of the elements before it gets rusty. We're not gonna do any major work until it gets paid off when we get our taxes back.

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    I'm running fully stock everything so far. What would remedies be? I'd like to stay with the stock turbo for now if possible. I just don't want to blow it up with too much boost. And how's a compression test and leakdown test done and what are they? I only know basics so far. Still trying...

    Nice. Congrats! I'm unable to become a supporting member because I have a toddler. Lol. That's why my car is a slow going build. Daughter comes before car. Lol. I love loud. Exhaust has always been my first upgrade. I hate the fart can exhausts though. Lol

    First time DSM owner

    Ok. Well I posted a tech thread on it to double check since I'm not doing a cat back system yet. I just want my car loud and obnoxious while I work on upgrading. I'm thinking of just upgrading the turbo to account for higher boost, but My engine has such high mileage I'm worried it would be...

    2G High mileage friendly turbo and exhaust questions

    I've been wanting to put my Apexi megaphone dunk exhaust on my car for a long time now, but someone informed me from experience that it can cause the turbo to run higher boost. So I'm wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade to a 16g turbo. But I'm concerned that a bigger turbo would damage...

    First time DSM owner

    Nice! And really? I didn't know an exhaust would peak boost. I'm not doing a cat back. I'm just replacing the muffler with an Apexi megaphone dunk exhaust I've had sitting around waiting to be put on. Do you still think it'll peak?

    I'm doing a street build myself. Haven't done any upgrading yet. My engine's running with 207000 miles and it's still going strong, so I'm waiting it out. I want to see how far it can go with the factory engine. I've just been replacing odds and ends that go out like the coil packs and...

    No. >.< The idiot I put in charge of dealing with the wreckers while I was at work sent everything with the cars, even though I told him to strip them both of all valuable stuff. Only the stuff I had pulled before I left for work got saved. Pretty much just the stereo, speakers, badging...

    98 Eagle Talon - "Onyx"

    Yeah. Both 97 ESis. Chicago rust killed them both. :(I might. I probably do somewhere.It sounds great! What kind of exhaust is that? It sounds and looks a lot like the 3A I used to have on my old Christine.

    Oh my. That snow picture reminds me of my old Talon in the blizzard of 2011. lol. The car was white and someone actually thought it was just a big snowdrift and ran a snowblower into it. lol.It's looking good. like the backseat with the subs.
