Well if any of you have wanted this car since following the build thread, now might be your chance. I’m considering selling it and all the parts together as a package deal. That means the car, disassembled engine, spare parts, turbos, everything dsm I have in my garage.send me an offer via pm...

Bump! $180 plus shipping, this thing needs a new home!

Bump! $130 for the injectors, need this stuff outta here!

Bump! $200 plus shipping!

@pauleyman i was assuming that if it were to be returned to stock it would not have any problems. I was just looking for some reassurance, maybe from somebody who knew something that I didn’t. I got what I was looking for though!

@Mech Addict yes, the stock ecu is still in the car, and I’ll be using that. That’s what I’m thinking as well, I’m hoping there won’t be any issue!

@Dreams Realized thanks for supporting the build, I really appreciate it! You guys will see the dirty bird moving under its own power soon :)

@1990TSIAWDTALON i still have my good split thrust block and rotating assembly. Send me a pm, maybe we could work something out:)

Hello all,returning my 2Gb back to stock and won’t be needing these parts anymore! They all came off the car when it was completely functional. They’re all a bit dusty from sitting on the parts counter, but otherwise functional.x4 FIC 850cc injectors. They have been flow tested by injector...

@TK’s9d2TSi thank you! And yeah I’d say less than 20 are left by now

Don’t see many pewter blue pearl 2Gb TSi AWD’s. Here’s mine! There were only 58 AWD 98’s made in this color!

@pauleyman indeed I will be doing this, I still have them sitting around! Should have put that in the original post, thank you!

Hello all,This is actually a bit strange for me because I’m returning my dsm to stock again (it looks weird typed out), from a GM MAF-T setup that was on the car previously. I’m going to be removing the whole system to replace it with oem stuff. My question is; will I have any negative...

@1990TSIAWDTALON here’s to hoping brother:pray:Also, just received my stock parts care package from a fellow member! This is a great start to getting the accessories needed for the not-yet-aquired 7-bolt! For the first time in a long time, I have parts here ready to be cleaned and put aside...

Yeah I’m having to learn the hard way unfortunately, hopefully if any new dsm’ers see this, they’ll get to see the months turn into years that I’ve spent trying to fix my mistake, and learn from it the easy way!Things should start moving a little more quickly here soon, I’m hoping to have this...

More good news! I have allocated enough funds to purchase a longblock from a supporting vendor here in a few weeks. It’s going to be a stock 7 bolt long block, but I’m really not too worried about that. It will be a stock car anyway, so I won’t pop it with an FP black againAfter the block gets...

Bump, $220 plus shipping!

Hello all,picked this up off a member here a few years ago, and it’s sat in the parts box ever since then. Previous owner said that it came off his car and ran well when he upgraded. It does have some shaft play, but I don’t think it’s anything out of the normal. I’m returning my talon back...

Good news!A member here reached out to me with some stock parts for my dirty bird, so things will be moving along nicely! I’ll be buying those parts from him likely tomorrow evening, so that will be a t25 w/wastegate and lines, intercooler, piping, and gaskets taken care of. My 16g, FMIC, GM...

Just gonna paste this here from my WTB listing, just in case one of you who has been following this build has any of these parts for sale!Hello all, I’m in the process of returning my 2gb back to oem spec, and I’m on the hunt for the necessary parts to do so! Please feel free to text me at...

Small update.I haven’t worked on the car in the last few months, but my brother and I have been cleaning up our shop where the car and my project 3000gt vr4 is currently. Hard to work on something when there’s no room, very frustrating. I know some of you will have this same issue. I got tired...

Still on the look for an engine! I’ve saved up more money so now a 7bolt long block will be possible. If anyone here has a strong running oem spec longblock for sale, and you’re in East TN, dm me!

Hello all,just purging out some things to help fund a short block for my project and these are just sitting in the way. They came out of my split thrust 7 bolt that had early signs of spinning a bearing. I tore the engine apart before it started knocking and now these are just sitting here. As...

If anybody who is watching this thread has a long block for sale for around $600, I’ve got my PayPal ready!

So after thinking for quite a while, I want to do something that might strike some of you as odd.For right now, I’d like to return the talon to its stock state (or at least most of the core stock components like the turbo/injectors/intake system) and here is my reasoning.It’s been so long...

WE’RE BACK FROM THE DEADHello everybody how have the last 2 years treated you? This is a small update on the talon and letting you know what’s going on with the project.for starters, a few years back the car was showing signs of a spun rod bearing, so I pulled it immediately into our shed...

Pistons and rods are sold!Hello DSM'ers,I'm selling a set of brand new rods,pistons, rings from an Evo 8 shortblock. I bought these a few months ago from STM with the intention to use them for a rebuild but priorities have changed in my build and these need to find a new home. They're...

Delete please!

Looking good so far, please tell me you're going to keep the car a Talon and not convert it to an eclipse:DP.s. Good score on the trans and TC!

I figured while I was waiting on parts and whatnot, I'd give the transmission a looking at and a good clean. I knew the transmission was maybe a little dirty from daily use or whatever, but oh my god this thing was NASTY. Below I've posted some pictures AFTER 5 hours of tediously cleaning the...

I've not used it in my Talon, but I did in my 3000GT vr-4 and it helped tremendously. It was straight piped and even at highway speeds I could only hear a slight growl coming from outback, before it was ridiculously loud and buzzy sounding. It was rubberized spray able type stuff similar to...

Hello all,As I was searching for a 2GB TSi to buy I remember it was kind of hard to find a picture of these cars all in one place. I had to just kind of scour through different threads and hope that I found pictures of them! I'm sure most of you know, but the 2GB TSi cars are getting extremely...

Picked up used lightweight flywheel to replace my damaged one. One part closer to getting this engine package back together!

Well here's a rough idea of what the turbo setup is looking like now. I have a fresh set of turbo hardware on its way to me so that'll finish the look off well I think.

So I received a small 16G from a member on here yesterday in the mail. Here are some before and after pictures of it and some other parts that I've received recently or had stowed away. Afterall, I want this car to be aesthetically pleasing as well as a good performer! I'm still working on...

So before I spend all my money on buying engine refresh/rebuild parts, I just want to kind of see if there's anybody selling a good 7 bolt short block for temporary use. I really want to take my time rebuilding my split thrust, so spending $500 or so on a good short block to get the car running...

charles greene submitted a new DSM Profile :1998 Eagle Talon TSi AWDRead more about this vehicle here...

Well let's start with this, what trim package eclipse are you wanting? And what trim package 3000GT are you wanting? I own both a 98 Talon TSi and a 92 3000gt vr-4, they're both awesome cars but in different ways. They both have downsides too. The 3kgt's are heavier, handle slower, are harder to...

I have a 7 bolt

Well more parts have been sold and more money is coming in to help fund this engine rebuild. I'll be on the lookout for a oem o2 housing and a flywheel because it turns out that my ACT flywheel has a broken tooth on it:toobad: if anybody's got any good used parts I need id be interested in...

Okay so I've landed myself a s16g that will be headed my way Monday. I'll be purchasing some parts in the meantime also. So here's what my list is looking like:-s16g -stock style o2 housing -timing components -crankshaft (depending on condition of mine) -engine bearings -engine gaskets -mls...

Good to see somebody agrees. Absolutely no disrespect for the plentiful fast DSM's, but for my own personal goals 350hp is going to be plenty enough to pull me out of corners well:) I think I've got a deal set up for a trade, and if all goes as planned I'll post the progress here and hopefully...

So after some time thinking while wrenching on the DSM, I've come to the conclusion that making this car into a straight line speed build isn't really what I'm wanting to do. Call me sappy, but I think I was thinking about carving up those smoky mountain roads in the old dsm with a 16g that made...

Bump!Price dropped to $350obo

I'm just happy that I own a 98' Talon tsi awd. I've noticed a bump in selling prices around my area for these cars even in the last 3 years of looking for one!

The engine is officially out of the car! I spent a few hours after work today to pull her out and start stripping the accessories off of it in preparation for disassembly.I've noticed some bolts and things either missing or completely un-tightened throughout the entirety of the engine and...

Evo Pistons and rods are officially in my possession! They're in amazing shape (which they should be, they're new after allLOL), and I'm currently working on the ol DSM. I have to disconnect the driveline and the passenger axle now and she will pull right up. Stay tuned!

Update! Finally some parts progress!So after going back and forth between buying a running motor and building the one I have, I just decided to rebuild it. I got a good price on these and have ordered some Evo 8 rods and Pistons from Cory at STM. They were pulled from an OEM shortblock and are...
