    Sold the Talon I have had since I was 18....

    35 now.little tribute thread with pic's from bone stock when I got it with 75,000 miles to when I sold it with 127,000 miles on it. It was fun, but wife, three kids and a father in law, and a house that needs a lot of work, demand a truck. and the car was just sitting in my shop most of last...

    1G Tired of high intake air temps!!!

    Anyone know of a hood vent that wouldn't look horrible on a 1Ga???You used to be able to find extractor vents that looked a bit like a long 3-4" wide vent with a raised lip at the front or sort of like a rearward facing scoop but designed for extraction. Can't seem to find anything like that...

    Any vendors still offering short blocks and assembled head packages?

    Like the title asks, it would seem a lot of the old vendors from a decade ago aren't doing half of what they used to for the DSM platform (I get it) but is there any that are still doing assembled short blocks and head packages that are worth trusting your hard earned money too?

    1G Electric boost gauge suggestions?

    30-0-30psi boost gauge, haven't kept up over the years, is autometer still the standard all other gauges atte judged by?

    Do you think this will work? (catch can)

    I made this a while back, haven't tried installing it yet. So it has 3 chambers, and the top two are filled with stainless steel wool, then with a divider down the middle to separate the inlet and outlets, with a chamber at the bottom for the oil/waste to collect.Mostly I need to figure...

    Boost gauge recommendations? (old electronic gauge died)

    So my old electronic autometer sport comp 30-0-30 boost gauge committed suicide, wiring and MAP are still good but the gauge is apparently dead as the MAP is transmitting a signal and it's reaching the plug to the gauge.Going to try to log the MAP through the factory narrow band 02 sensor and...

    1G Autometer wants how much for a MAP sensor?!?

    So apparently Autometer thinks their 3 bar MAP sensor is worth $100... it looks pretty generic. My gauge just randomly stopped working and I haven't found a fault with the gauges wiring. I don't know of a way to check the sensor... but it looks like there's replacements for $27 from advance...

    Well I got banned from my usual forum so, I'm back.

    Ar15.com doesn't like it when you point out historic facts about Islam, from their own material...so i'm on a 420hr suspension.Sooo anyway, still got the Talon, but money' been tight so I haven't done anything with it, mostly it sits, but I think things may change soon. If they do I may start...

    "Best" electric cut out?

    Looking to put my stock cat back on and add a cut out in front of it. Suggestions on a reliable quick unit that doesn't leak or rattle?I thought about boost actuated but I'm thinking that would delay boost/spool up, would probably open faster once it started to open though, and wouldn't...

    1G PC680 how do you have yours wired up?

    1G Looking for a different exhaust manifold...

    Is there any bolt on manifold that's a quality cast piece that still offers WG off the manifold? I'm sick and tired of my external WG on O2 housing setup. Is there anything still out there like the ERL manifold?

    Son of a...

    So I got a forward facing oil filter housing, gasket and hardware. Half way through changing the stock unit I realized there is no prevision to run the oil cooler...SON OF A!!!! Well, that was a waste of $67...*sigh* I guess I'll have to cut up and re-weld the waste gate dump pipe... I was...

    Opinions?

    Plan to get or make a new hold down and tray for the battery so I can locate it lower, then move the coolant over flow (which is temporarily located where it is) and the catch can I made to the firewall.

    1G Shifter cables stiff?

    I noticed about a month ago my shifter seemed a little stiff and it's only gotten worse. It doesn't want to move freely on the horizontal (left to right) it wont return to center like it ought to on it's own either. Any idea what the most likely cause is? Rather where to start investigating...

    General Odd EGR question (tuning related)

    I recall many years ago someone on the forum made a big argument for keeping the EGR. I seem to recall it had to do with somehow keeping things cooler and actually lowering the knock threshold in some situations.Anyone recall this? Know about this or can confirm?

    How much is it worth?

    My 1990 Eagle Talon TSi...123,000 miles, few paint chips and a few spots where bird droppings ate though the clear on the spoiler but otherwise straight body wise. No A/C, trans was rebuilt about 10,000-13,000 miles ago by Jacks Trans back in oooh.. August of 2007.Some mods not listed are...

    I need information, please?

    Anyone have a list of vehicles that would have a compatible DOHC cylinder head for a 4G63/G63B? I know some Hyundai's had 1.6L engines that had a head that I think really the only difference is a little smaller cc area in the chamber? But I have no idea which vehicles have these. I need a cheap...

    Quick question on forward facing oil filter housing.

    Forgive me DSM brothers, for I have sinned.

    Earlier this month I totaled my daily driver, got more from the insurance than I spent on the car by large margin, noticed this 1998 Honda Civic HX 5 speed in ATL... high mileage but the owner was OCD with records and maintenance. Runs perfect near as I can tell, no noises no squeaks, shifts...

    Where to find oil filter relocation kits?

    I used to see these on extremepsi and a few other vendor sites but I can't find anyone with one for sale anymore. Anyone have a source on one? With my current setup I have to remove the waste gate dump tube to change my shorter Evo oil filter and that's really really damn annoying.

    So, this is purely a project car, it used to be a street car. I used to drive it nearly daily. But now it just sits in the shop and waits to be driven in good weather from time to time. I don't want to turn it into a pure race car, but I got to thinking, why not pull more weight out? It already...

    I wonder if this had anything to do with my alternator failing. (pictures)

    Seems to be one or two things missing hear... I wonder if that caused excessive wear from something coming out of alignment at high RPM? As to my knowledge when it suddenly failed was right after a tuning pull to redline. Apparently I should have used some Locktite on them down even though it...

    Best fitting turbo blanket for MHI 7cm housing?
