I acquired a 1991 GVR4. Upon receiving the vehicle, parts had been removed for some reason and unbeknownst to the owner (it was stored at his friend's house...some friend, huh?). 1 part that was missing happened to be the throttle body and sensors. Previous owner was notified, and he took it...
It was sold to someone in the greater Aiken, South Carolina area...possible be used for bracket racing. It was a fully built engine, A/C deleted, power steering looped, heat removed and a partial wire tuck. With the new addition of GVR4 1102-2000 being restored/resto'modedd it made me miss my...
Stick with major brands that been in the game. US Alternators, Mechman, etc. Contact Brand X on Facebook. I have a full custom, bagged 98 Dakota with custom audio (I'm an installer and fabricator). My Dakota has an external rectifier and Brand X alternators were really the only one with multiple...
Like most here, I agree I wouldn't drive far with a DSM. Unfortunately, I was in your situation less than a year ago. Me and the family had to PCS from Colorado to Georgia.
I have two DSMs; a 90 and 95 TSi. My 90 is my baby, the 95 is my daily driver. Believe it or not, with 200,000 miles on...
There are WAY more difficult cars to work on than DSM's. I esspecially hate European (BMW, Mercedes, etc). Nowadays, DEI (Directed Electronics) pretty much owns everything, so basically get a DEI brand and you'll be fine. Like I said before, my 1G has a Clifford 750 because of the Blackjacks...
I ALWAYS solder connections. At least that ensures you get a solid connection. I used to work for a company that carried Clifford. Clifford actually had a remote start system designed for manual transmissions. I personally use the Clifford 750 on my 1G. There are numerous ways to trick the...
I suggest ripping all of it out, getting an alarm of your choice, and start from scratch. Who knows how the prior connections were/are made or why the alarm was removed in the first place.
I didn't check your profile, so if you have a manual transmission, just remember that your nuetral safety...
Awesome!!!! I've been trying to get mine done, but being military, married with children, deploying, and having to move 3 times in 6 years, my time is always prioritized elsewhere. I'll start on it then have to stop, then when I go back to it I forget where I left off and have to start all over...
I need some some exhaust welding done. I'm located in the Augusta/Grovetown area. Unfortunately the car is not running and I'm unable to bring it to you. The exhaust is one of the reasons why. Hit me up on PM.
First let me start off by saying, I got married at a young age (19), prior to me leaving for the service. That marriage didn't last but 18months. I got out after doing my 4 years, telling myself I would never get married again.
While working as a civilian, I met a woman, who is now my wife, who...
Damn it! Where were these things at when I was living in Colorado Springs? Now I'm in Georgia where if you dont have a big block V8 or a "donk" you ain't sh!t.
I just left the Springs/Carson 30 days ago. Personally, I didn't like it cause of the consistent weather change but I'm originally from Cali and spent alot of time in Hawaii. It seemed everytime I worked on my 1G or doing custom audio installs, it would either be too cold or it started raining...
Some f@cking people in this world!!!!! I had a buddy with a PRESTINE GVR4 that this same thing happened too, except it was rear ended to the point where there wasnt a trunk left. When the cops came to investigate, they told him that the damage was due to the track cause they found his time slips...
In 2009 I had my '90 TSi painted and it cost me close to $2200.00. I recently picked up a '95 TSi which I plan on repaintiing. It seems the average ranges from $3000-$3500.
Here's mine. I only got as far as the skeleton frame to fiberglass, then the timing belt snapped, so priority shifted to the engine build.
I did however move the equipment to my daily driver and whipped up a quick system build for my Trailblazer, which are the last two pictures.
I have a '90 and after 6 years I finally had to pull the engine. The only other problem during that time was a faulty ECU; it was Hell finding another 90 Eprom.
Deciding to keep the car after my first deployment, I should've COMPLETELY stripped my little brothers 93 because know I have a bunch...
25U, 8 years, and up for the SFC board in February. I do agree with some about the job; if I knew I'd be sitting behind a desk as a Commo Chief I'd wouldn't have picked this job. It drives me CRAZY!!!!!
There's alot more things we do than what has been posted on this thread and what others...
What kind of alarm are you working with?
Alot of DEI alarms came with a relay pack to assist in wiring different lock configurations but rarely needed it. To further assist you I would like to know what you're working with. Most vehicles require a 200ma negative pulse to operate, which most...
I paid $0 for mine and it ran!!! I did have to give up my blown up Accord coupe, the H22 engine, and all my stereo equipment to get the Talon. Over 5 years, I've invested about 5-grand, paint job included.
Let me see, walk in garage, lift car cover, open hood hoping it repaired itself, get mad and depressed, close hood, place car cover back on, walk back in house, notice two 60-trim and 70-trim turbos sitting on tool box, think to self why the hell I still have them. Repeats daily (minus removing...
About 5 years ago, me and a friend are driving back from some late night fishing. We're in my '94 Accord coupe (all shaved, lowered, illegal tint, including the windshield, etc, etc.) The location was out in the boonies, three counties from where we lived, but it had AWESOME fishing spots (yes...
Leaving work, from my populated parking lot, the Talon decided to smoke like a Spyhunter smoke screen. Later on, I found out my bearings were gone in my turbo. Due to my rank in the military, my soldiers would think I had a vehicle that would run correctly.
Here's the dilemma.
Car's been down for about 15months with a blown turbo. I got a new one and had issues with exhaust clearance. I had to relocate the oil filter and cut the exhaust so it dumps right up front by the frame. Once that was complete, I changed the oil. I jump started the car and...
To all those thinking of joining any branch of service. It takes a strong significant other to stay by your side. You've probably heard all the horror stories of cheating and such while being deployed. What you dont hear is those that dont; I would know, I have one that stayed by my side. You...
I'm moving from Texas to the Colorado Springs area in a couple months. I'm debating whether or not to bring my DSM because of the possible law differences. Is there any big ones I need to watch out for (i.e. emissions, lighting, etc.)????
The car has coolant. I disconnected the turbo's coolant inlet and outlet lines. I then started the car, let it idle for about 5-minutes, when I noticed no change in smoke and the leak still persisted. So, I'm assuming its oil leaking. When I started removing the manifold and turbo, there is no...
I checked the oil; no milky mixture. As for the smoke, there is no blue tint to it. I should be able tell by the amount of smoke that comes out!!! Remember the old game "Spy Hunter"? Well, just imagine the smoke screen that car put out and relay it in a real life situation.Here's another...
Straight and to the point.
CAR: 90 Talon TSi
PROBLEM: LOTS and LOTS of white smoke from exhaust and turbo
EQUIPMENT IN QUESTION: Turbonetics ball-bearing 60-trim
SYMPTOMS: The car started smoking like crazy. Figuring it was the coolant line on the turbo, I removed the coolant lines and...
Currently I'm deployed and have alot of time to think. At first I hated my Talon 'cause finding parts to restore it was a pain, but after searching and searching I decided to keep the beast. I've had the car about 3 years, if you count my current deployment. To this date, nobody can tell me what...

I used the suede and did my whole interior of my 94 Accord...
Not to steal your thread, but I'm in almost the same situation. I got my Talon about 2 years ago, and had a unknown Turbonetics turbo on it. When asked for assistance on this site, I found out it was a T-60. I haven't had any issues with the turbo. I run 22 pounds daily. I haven't increased the...
Let's say it's a T-61. Only 550 injectors???? Thanks for the replies. My internet here has a lot of blocked websites and search engines:notgood: so finding stuff is somewhat difficult. This is why I pose this question here, for all to see.I will check the Turbonetics site (if I can access...

Go with the Clifford. I have installed those for quite some time. You could go with the Clifford and still have the remote start on a manual.....safely.
Just another question involving this whole no starting thing. Found the weird noise. It was from my EVC IV boost controller. When you turn the key, the solenoid for it, which is mounted in the engine compartment, makes that low toned clicking noise. Could this cause the car not to start? I had a...
