First, just want to say thanks to Paul Volk on here for the crossmember.Just a backround on why I opted to get this piece. I do not do any sort of autocrossing or any racing that involves turning extremely hard. Pretty much all my racing is in a straight line. The stock crossmembers were...
Ran a new personal best. This was around 32psi on a T3 .70 S362. Car weighs 3040 w/out driver. Still has full interior, air conditioning, etc. Not much weight reduction done to the car. Car was knocking bad as I believe one of the fuel pumps died on me. So still has a lot left in it once I...
This thread will show you what parts you need, and how to install, 94-04 Mustang Cobra front rotors (13") and calipers (2-piston PBR) onto a 1G. The process should be very similar to do this to a 2G. The exact car that this was performed on in the pictures is my 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. This...
Wow, today was amazing. It was my first time at a track, ever. Never even been as a spectator before.Had some veterans there to coach me a bit.Started off with a couple high 13's, dealing with how to launch, clutch slipping issues, and missing gears.Then had a run where the clutch...
DYNO CHART ADDED TO POST 11YouTube - 4/2/09 Talon DynoI seem to get quite a few PM's from people looking into BW turbos, and asking how mine is performing.Well here's a log from today to help give anyone interested in these, a little better idea of how it is performing on my vehicle. So...
I bought the Prothane inserts for the front and rear motor mounts on my 1G AWD. I'm concerned about the front one.I've attached a picture of the front insert, with the bolt that goes through it in the hole. That seems completely wrong to me, look how much slop is in there. The rear bolt fit...

I want to install a smaller battery to free up some space in the engine bay. I'd like to do a similar, if not the exact same setup that GRNDSM has. I tried PMing him but didn't get any responce. The only thing im wondering is how he got his battery to sit so low. It seems he got rid of the...
Just thought I'd share my results. We had a dyno day at a local shop Saturday, and I threw the car up there. This is a fairly untuned setup. We did a few street tuning pulls on the way to the event, and got it to just run somewhat decent, but the AFR's are really all over the place. Also my...
Just thought I'd share my joy with the rest of the world.My new motor is installed and has been running for a couple weeks now with no issues thus far. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out! Too bad it's so close to winter time, and she'll be going in storage soon.2.0L

Just thought I'd throw up some pics of the results of my recent hobby I took up. I made my entire piping setup last year (fmic, intake, exhaust). But all the pipes remained uncoated, so me and a friend decided to pitch in money together and get some equipment so we can powdercoat on our own...
OK well first I'll give a little info on the car. 1991 Talon AWD, 110k miles. Mods are 50trim, stock longblock, typical supporting mods.Yesterday I received my 3g lifters in the mail, so I put them in. I also changed the timing belt when I did this. I've done a dozen timing belt jobs...
First off I will give a little info about the car. 1991 Tsi Awd. Mods are 50-trim and typical supporting mods such as fmic, 255hp walbro, IE fpr, 2g MAS, etc. Emissions, ISC, FIAV are all removed and blocked off, and my FP solonoid is not hooked up.This problem started out of the blue...
Just got done fabricating all the parts for my setup. Me and my buddy made the intake, ic piping, and exhaust system. Only a couple minor things that need done before I can take her around the block! Here's a couple pics. I know I'm not a pro welder, but I'm pretty proud of it. The IC...
Well first thing, I'm in the marines and am currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Today over my lunch break, I got to witness a CH-53 Marine Corps Helicopter crash just outside our base. We didn't see it actually crash, it went down, and then a college blocked all view. But after it was out...
I dunno if anyone here even really knows me, but I'm spending the next year of my life in Okinawa, Japan. Well we were just told that in approximately 2 days we're gunna get nailed by a Typhoon. If you don't know what a typhoon is, it's the same thing as a hurricane, just rotating in the other...
Once I get home from Japan, I will be constructing my own 3" turbo back. I'm trying to find a muffler to use and was told about the Summit muffler that is only 19 bux plus shipping. Does anyone have experience with these? I've heard a Thermal, Magnaflow, Buschur, and Bullet muffler on dsm's...
My car is a 91 TSi AWD. Pretty minnimal mods. Just a mbc, gauges, uic pipe & tb elbow, crushed bov, emissions removed, egr blocked off. That's the main jist of it. Anyway, while acclerating, the car will sometimes acclerate just fine, and other times it'll be slow as a dog. Like slower then...
ok my buddy has a 92 laser awd. His clutch was slipping when he bought it, so he got himself an act2600. we put it in and now it still slips. Neither of us know what is wrong so im posting this up for him. One thing we did notice was that we can manually wiggle the shift fork a lil bit and...
well the car started smokin pretty bad today. smokin whitish outta the exhaust. we just recently put a used head from the trader on it, and after that was done, we did a compression test, which was from right to left, 140, 110,130,70. ya i know, not really that good. But the car worked, and...
i had a light pop on on my dash today. It's amber, and the lil symbol on it looks kinda like the lil design on the back of a penny, the lincoln memorial or whatever. The light is located right under the stock boost gauge.
just wondering if anyone has used their clutches or knows anything about em. I just went from having a near 400hp gst to a bone stock 91 tsi awd. Well the car has its issues that im working out right now before i even think about throwin mods on it. But of course, the clutch is slipping...
http://www.nhraimport.com/2004/rules/body.htmlWell first they had it set that the Eclipse body was not allowed to race in "modified" class, but i guess a few people complained cuz now its accepted in all classes, but the talons and lasers are still not allowed in 3 classes. just look for...
just wondering if anyone here has used either of these MBC. I planned on going with a Hallman, but i've been seeing these ones on ebay forever, and they cost much less then a Hallman. Lemme know if you've used one of these. I bought a pos MBC once before and the thing spiked like 5 psi all...
ok basically to make the story short, we put the exhaust cam in 180 degrees off, and we noticed what we did too late. we cranked it, didn't start, just did a nice ass backfire. Well we found that we put in the exhaust cam 180 off, we lined up the wrong damn timing marks and the dowl was facing...
ok im trying to figure out what to do with the driver/passenger seats in my talon. They are both made of leather, and the leather has gone to sh!t. I was just going to go ahead and get them reapoulstered, but i'm finding out that reapoulstering leather is not a cheap job at all. I'm kinda...
ok i feel wierd askin this question, cuz im really not that new here. But i've always owned a 2g, and now i just changed to a 1g. Basically i want an open element air filter. I don't wanna hard pipe or anything, just an open filter. no more air can. I don't wanna hack the can, just get a...
well i kinda had a little post about this in the hangout, but im gunna post my questions here. OK, to make a long story short, on a ride home my oil filter came loose, lost all oil, stuck it in neutral and tried to get home cuz i was soooo close, well finally i was about 100 yards from my...
well this weekend so far has been horrible. my clutch line has been borke but on friday i get my SS clutch line put in, and so now my car once again is drivable. Except for the battery is toast we later find out, so we go buy a new one, now everything is working fine but that was just the...
alright this is just someones car off this site. But im getting a 1g and im going to paint it, and im just wondering what this car would look like if it were pearl white, and also what it would look like if it was like a dark midnight blue. So if anyone can do that for me then i'd be forever...
ok im shopping for different clutches. I'm not getting an ACT, the 2 main ones i have been looking at are the SPEC stg.3 or the ECLUTCHMASTER stg.2. i've heard good stuff about both, and they are relatively cheap too. Anyway, i was just on ebay and they are selling AITA stg. 3 clutches...
ok i recently installed a profec-b in my car. But at the absolute lowest settings, i am at 14psi. To me that doesn't sound right. I'd think if i had it down all the way i'd be more like 10 psi or something. I am running a 50 trim with a 38mm ext. wastegate. If this sounds right then sorry...
ya anyone know where St. George, Utah is? Ya probably not, just like my sig says, its in the middle of nowhere, BUM#### UTAH. Just blew my headgasket there a week ago. Now i gotta pay some mechanic an insane amount of money to get it fixed because it's nowhere near where i live so i can't fix...
ok here's my problem that just started today. Anytime im driving or just parked, and i rev the engine, when the rpm's come back down i get a momentary vibration right around 1500 rpm, but goes away in a second soon as it hits like 1200 rpm. Also if i turn right I can here and slightly feel the...
ok i got a small hole in the top of my radiator. I kinda had a little fitting that was resting on it and it got kinda pushed in and made a hole in the top part of the radiator. Nothing fell in the radiator, but now there is a fairly small hole in the top of it. The hole is in that very top...
ok i installed the gm maf and translator. I used these crappy home depot 2.5 to 3 inch couplers for now, and ordered 2.5 - 3 inch couplers from RRE. Well I got them today and they don't fit around my 3" maf cuz i guess the maf is 3" inner diameter and so the 3" side of the couplers wont fit...
ok, not sure if this is the right forum, but seemed like the best fit for my question. I'm looking to get some rims to put green dots on for track use only, and just wondering if anyone knows if stock 16" rims from like a 94 style 300zxTT would fit my lug pattern. I know they're both 5 lug...
ok yesterday we're messin around in my engine cuz we had heard sumthin kinda fall off while driving like a few days back. And then while I was looking at the intake, i saw what was missing. I'm missing that fat hose that goes into the inlet pipe just after the MAS. Not the skinney ones that...
ya, i know it isn't "supposed" to come out till what like next weekend or sumthing, but on base they showed a sneak preview for free. And ya, the movie is pretty flaming. I thought the 1st one was alright the first few times i saw it but eventually it got annoying. This one I think is just...
ya, last night my and my boi clem went to the dealer to pick up a new dipstick for my car, and i said sumthin about the EVO out front, and he was like WHAT, THERE'S AN EVO HERE... To make a long story short, about 4 hours later he as the proud owner of it, gave me the keys and let me drive it...
just wanted to say that today was a wonderful, after leaving the US on March 8th for Kuwait to do the whole "iraqi freedom" bit, im finally back home in Yuma,AZ. It was my pleasure to not kill a single person and to chill out on a very nice base over there for 4 months and hide in a bunker for...
You can see my mods in my profile. But I'm FWD and i want to stiffen the rear for the track, but it'd be nice to adjust em softer for daily driving. I have 2" Tanabe Lowering springs on all 4 corners. Which shocks and struts would be good for me. I've been reading and it sounds like some of...
ok, i've searched and i've found lots of info, but still no one ever really got a responce i could use. OK, my car is slighty modded right now, and in the near future i am getting a bunch of new things because of this money i'm making for being in kuwait during this war. So I am going to need...
ok after replacing my clutch, about a week later one of my wheels is making a squeeky chirpy sound every rotation of the wheel. I really can't tell which wheel it is. I know that sounds wierd but we'll stick our heads out the window and its hard to tell. But we "think" its the front pass...
ok i've searched all damn weekend on here, dsmtalk, RRE, vfaq, everywhere i could find. But i can't figure out my problem. I hooked my s-afc up friday, and it runs and idles like total crap, its not drivable at all, wont rev past maybe 2k. I have the settings at Karman, 4cyl, arrow pointing...
hey i've searched on people having this same problem, but everyone having this same problem seemed to be AWD and your pump assemblies are different then mine. Anyway, i put in my 3kgt pump today and everything is all good, except my gas gauge doesn't work. Normally i wouldn't care because i...
ok i know a few people who have made their own piping for a FMIC, but all the people i know do it for their 1g's. I forget exactly what they buy, but its sumthin like 2 mandrel bent 90degree elbows and 2 mandrel bent 45 degree elbows from RRE or whoever and that's reall all they need. I have a...
