    2G Need New Front Bumper, Some Questions

    I bought a $75 bumper off ebay. You tell me if it fits okay. Maybe some people had issues or maybe they just didn't know what they were doing, I don't know but for $75 shipped I was pretty satisfied.

    GS Hatch swap

    Did you check with a voltmeter that you are getting power to the motor? Is there a fuse you need to add?

    420A 420a rebuild then turbo plan help

    I went down this route. It shouldn't take anywhere near $15k to hit 300whp you are probably more in the $6k-7k range and less if you go second hand. You can see my mod list in my profile.That said, I built this car, broke the timing belt, rebuilt forged, boosted and tuned it, and it has sat...

    420a turbo pt2

    I haven't used the FIC, but it looks like it just modifies the ECU signal for the injectors and ignition. If this is the case then you would still need either and FCD or Missing Link. Since the ECU is still sending the original signal you need a fuel cut defender, otherwise when the ECU sees...

    420a turbo pt2

    1)No way to really know how much boost to hit 350whp. I am 10.5:1 CR and running 10psi on an s20g. I know I'm nowhere near 350whp 2)you don't need a FCD/Missing Link if you are running full stand alone 3)I am running Megasquirt1 Extra (Outdated) and it is doing fine. I am only running fuel...

    Fr-s/ gt86/brz

    The reason it wasn't FI from the factory is that it will pull sales from the WRX. Subaru wouldn't be that stupid. Also, the STI version will only have 50hp more and will sit with a $35k price tag. Plenty of other cars to choose from in that price range.

    Car Loan?

    That doesn't make any sense... Just wait until you find the car you want instead of buying a shitty car youre not happy with and spending thousands turning into what you wanted in the first place. Trust me, as a person who has done it before... Bought an NT car not knowing much about dsm's and...

    My 2gb nightmare walk around.

    That rust on the rear wheel well looks like the worst to me... Not sure how you are going to fix that easily or cheaply. Hopefully the car didnt cost you too much.

    Very Low acceleration

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but your idle oil pressure should be ~17psi after everything is warmed up. Are you running molasses or something? (JK) I'm assuming you don't have the A/C running while you are testing for power loss.... Check and replace your fuel filter, check the timing, is the...

    420A 2gNT Let off the gas while driving and it jerks

    Check the motor mounts and that the bolts holding the transmission to the engine are all there and tight. I was having similar issues and discovered that 2 bolts from my transmission had vibrated loose and tightening them up seemed to fix it.

    Just moved to Ohio, any tuners out here? (Dyno)

    I just moved to Ohio for work and I didnt get a chance to get my car on the dyno for tuning before I left MN. Are there any tune shops around here that would be able to tune Megasquirt for me?

    Finished bottom end, need head suggestions

    Here is my advice for you:-You shouldn't Need ARP cam tower bolts. -The OBX manifold interferes with the thermostat housing from the research I found when I was building my car. Not sure what you would fab up to fix that. Also expect it to crack on you after a short while since OBX uses...

    Calling Ohio Residents (Need help)

    I'm not sure how far of a commute I want. I'm probably going to be leasing something that gets good mpg since a built 420a doesn't get the same gas mileage as it used to.... >.< Maybe I'll put it back to N/A and pick up a GSX from down south...Also, I cant be too far away from a college...

    420a first start help

    Double check that you don't have the throttle cable too tight when you put the engine back in, i.e. the throttle plate is closed. Make sure you have your PCV hooked up, I forgot that since I was going to put a 4g63 pcv in and my car idled high until I connected it

    Acceleration Issue

    Okay, several things going on here...You have a lot of things to fixFirst of all, I just watched the video and you made it in the rain. You could be losing traction and this will feel like a loss of power because:A) We have open differential B) The roads are wet C) Your tires are worn D) A...

    Acceleration Issue

    I can't see your mod list, and the link in your first video isn't working for me. Use photobucket to host images and videos.However, I'm going to say your clutch is slipping because I just had this issue because I forgot to properly adjust the master cylinder after installing my new clutch...

    420a pvc valve question

    I put one from the 4g63 on mine. To be honest though, I havent really checked how well it is functioning. It is kind of a PITA to rig it up though.. The OEM pcv is not designed to hold boost and it is also plastic. I opted for the 4g63 pcv because it s designed for boost and is metal.

    turboed 420a vs factory gst

    If his 420a car has a body in good condition it makes sense. A $2k GST is probably going to have many cosmetic faults as well as probably an engine with 130k+ miles on it. $2,000 into rebuilding his car (assuming the body is in good shape) will net him a car with a fresh motor in a clean body...

    Egr

    Its a vacuum leak guaranteed. I'm guessing you either forgot to remove the vacuum hose that attached to the EGR solenoid, or you removed the vacuum hose but forgot to plug the nipple you pulled it off of.

    Anybody running these tail lights?

    These really don't look to bad. I appreciate you posting up pics and biting the bullet on them. I'm sure there are haters because it isn't OEM, but they aren't overly flashy and gawdy like other aftermarket tail lights.

    High mileage 97 NA Talon, best performance upgrades?

    Do not "save up for a swap".. Its a stupid idea and will cost more than just buying a 4g63 car if you really want that. I just finished my build and have a built 420a running 10.5:1 compression, a s20g on 8psi (still in the break in period), and tuned with megasquirt and I'm pretty confident I...

    priming new motor have questions please help

    I just unplugged the coil pack, took out the spark plugs, and unplugged the fuel pump. Then I turned it over about 7 time for about 30 secs each time. Taking the spark plugs out allows the starter to spin the motor easier and faster. I wasn't able to even get a reading on my electrical oil...

    You won't need a forged crank. As far as I have heard no one has EVER broken one of our cranks because of too much power.Also, it shouldn't cost you $2000 for a stock rebuild. I would venture more around the $700-$1000. I built my forged long block with new everything except cams for less...

    Sleepy 2GB (1998 Eagle Talon TSI)

    I remember driving down to look at this car when TSiTuner23 owned it. It had a dent in the fender, painted black 5 spokes with a red lip ( 3 of 4 wheels I think), air bags were no good, and had a bad 2nd gear. I almost bought it from him but he dented the other fender by pulling into the garage...

    There are a few things you can use:- 6-8" 1/4" extension ( a 3/8" drive WILL NOT WORK, it will catch on the threads and ruin them.. ask me how I know) - Buy a bolt that is about 1" longer than the stock crank bolt (6-8in) - Any rod that is smaller than the bolt hole and doesn't - Do you have...
