Yeah, I miss my old Talon everyday I wish everyday as im driving my POS Saturn that I wouldnt have sold it. I will own another one someday though

it was the state and it had .0067 end play thats almost two hundred thousand miles. i feel better, thanks

Alright, thanks.

Alright I'm in the middle of this swap and I'm a little confused as what to do. In this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/309814-saturn-alternator-swap-4-pin-alternator-connector.html they say run a switched power source from the FPR, so if I understand correctly all I do is...

Ok here's the problem. If I do not have the clutch in and I try to start the car the starter will turn the flywheel and disengage, sometimes it cranks two to three times before disengaging. But if I do have the clutch in it starts right up every time. To me and from what I know about crank walk...

Crankwalk can be diagnosed by 1. Clutch weirdness, improper pedal pressure, strange disengage and engage points 2. Ticking or strange noise from the pulley side of the engine when clutch is depressed. 3. Crank Angle Sensor errors ( check engine light ) 4. Difficulty shifting 5. RPMS...

Alright, I've done my research and came up with nothing. None of the threads had an answer. If anyone has done this on their 2G please share information on how to do this (were the mounts different? Any special wiring?) I will have to purchase a new alternator soon so any help would be great...

Most of the posts I've searched were biased for a more tuned car then what im aiming for. I was just asking if the SAFC could do the tuning that I need it to do or if i am going to need DSMlink to get it to run properly. Sorry about the repeated question.

I bought this car with an air filter and a 14b un tuned whats better all i want to accomplish is to have a properly tuned daily driven car. I'm running very rich right now and i'd like to lean it out a little. The car will not have very many mods in the future so what will work best. Thanks

alright. ive got a race coming up in a month. what can i do to prepare?my buddy is running a 2002 civic with exhaust and intake. he wants to race for money. is somewhere in the 2600lb 100-110 WHP range. should i be able to take him or do i back out and wait till i get more upgrades...?:talon:

Thanks, that last post clarified it for me. I had forgotten that timing could be changed through the ignition. After having that damn nissan anything adjustable and i automatically think .. that it is in the mechanics / angle of the cams. Again Thanks:thumb:

I did the same thing. It affected my windows though rather then my radio. It burnt a wire going to the windows. It might be the case for you also.

Oh. The car also does this by itself ? with the CPS ? So the CPS is like the CVTC solenoid that I had on my sentra i guess? or am I missing the point.

Alright, i've been doing a little research on this and i've found out that apparently when the knock sensor detects knock... lets just say because of a lower octane fuel it either retards or advances timing. Do we have variable valve timing or something? I thought this was a feature of Mivec. I...

I'm actually pretty surprised that I had that and did not know it. what kind of boost should I be running without a boost controller? And now I have to cancel my T25 rebuild kit that's on the way. where is the cheapest place to get turbos balanced? I got excited and took apart the turbo without...

The oil line that is attached to the top of the turbo is still a hard line that comes from the oil filter housing. Is that bad?

i thought there was supposed to be some special type of oil feed line somewhere that came from the ehead or something

The only reason I asked is because the compressor housings looked very similar in size. Does anyone have a picture of the stock t25? i might be mistaken because I was looking around on the forums last night for a similar topic and all the ones that people said came on the eclipse and talons...

I found a Compressor housing for a 16g for $50 if i were to purchase it could i put it onto my Stock exhaust turbine housing with a different wheel?

so... I guess that I wont be driving it until I get that turbo then. Oh and by the way the only mods I have done is a 2.4 block (4g64) and that different air filter. That's why I haven't updated my profile. Thanks though. :talon:

Yep that's exactly what I wanna do so I can save up for a larger turbo plus my T25 is broken and im running low on money right now.

well I got an idea to just convert my car to N/A. Get a different header and get an AFC controller I'm not entirely sure if it would work but if I get positive advice and comments then I will try it. when I am N/A I'm gonna work on building the internals for a bigger turbo. Oh and sorry about my...

Ok so I'll replace the valve seals first. To make sure that it is the guides because i'd most likely end up spending all my money at the machine shop.

The mileage is 190k.. I only noticed blue smoke a little bit at idle though then it goes away as it is warmed up. when I'm driving or revving there is no smoke. I was thinking about taking my money and going to a junkyard for my turbo and just sending my head to FFwD but I'm still thinking about it.

Ok so today I took off my turbo and exhaust manifold. As I was inspecting the manifold I found that in one of the runners there was a film of oil or sludge or something on the bottom half of the runner and on top of all the exhaust ports and on the left side of the inlet of the compressor. I'm...

Is a 14b bigger then a t25? Also if I were to buy a rebuild kit I would probably end up doing it myself. Unless I could get someone to do it for less then the kit cost. which I doubt.

I'm not sure what to do. I have 600$ to use. Im not sure if I should rebuild the stock T25 or get a different bigger turbo. Keep in mind that I only have $600 I still have to buy more oil antifreeze and shit like that. Also if i go with a rebuild im gonna get dejon tool intercooler pipes and...

I pulled on the thing on the other side of the cross member. I just bleed the clutch and it should work? Thanks for the help.

its in a hole on the bottom of the transmission with a boot surrounding it. and if that is what i pulled on how do i get it to work again

Ok, so I was under the car removing my silencer in my LICP and i tried to find a spot to anchor myself to pull me out from under the car. while i was pulling myself out i wasnt paying attention and i grabbed something on the bottom of the transmission that i no know went to the clutch. when i...

heres a couple of pics of my spoilerless talon:talon:

You should take a look at 2Ga talon side skirts. The car would be sexy as hell

wow. Thanks to the one person who actually answered me with a legit answer.

no no aftermarket gauge. but im pretty sure that i can hear and feel when my boost comes on and thats what ive observed. #### gas mileage at this point id just like to not have my boost come on so early. actually i dont really care it was just an idea that i figured if i didnt have to go spend...

ill tell you all how it works out when i get it all finished. im probably gonna go with a bigger turbo.... as much as id like my stock turbo to spool at 4500 instead of 2200 it dosent look like anyone knows how to make it happen. and no a honda civic will not work and in no way would be the...

i dont think anyone understands its at half boost a 2000 rpms and full at 2200 and i don't like shifting that low and regardless of how depressed my foot is on the gas the turbo wants to spool. so i dont know.... just tryin to figure it out....maybe it'll be different after i get the 2.4 bottom...

thanks. hah i dont really want good gas mileage just something better then the 17 im getting. plus id like to build it n/a like i said. i think that the car should be exciting out of the boost alsoso thats what im aiming for..i probably wont get any better gas mileage if i build it n/a

because gas is expensive. plus ill be doing a 4g64 bottom end swap soon so more torque. and being in boost going 70 down the highway is in no way efficient.yeah i would like it to spool no earlier then 4500rpms or later

I am new to the whole turbo thing so I don't know that much. So I was wondering what could I do to make my boost come on a little later somewhere around 4500 RPM's without buying a manifold with different length runners or a different turbo. I'd like to make as much power as i can n/a until the...

just wondering what problems people have had at how many miles on they re seven bolts talon/eclipseme, I'm at 156,8XX and stockthe only problems i've had is the famous lifter tick, and a steering rack leak. also some small boost leaks and a broken turbo to manifold boltcar is still...

i live 5 minutes out of gainsville Georgia DSM - Powered by vBulletin

yep the fluid is as high as the limit specifies

I am inside the car right now and it is off. I can push the clutch pedal down all the way to the floor and it sticks. theres really no resistance in the pedal either. then I have to pull the pedal back. there is a little more resistance and it comes back up.. but I can wait about 5 or 6 minutes...

wow....... ha....... i dont know what to tell you... good luck with the fix though..... but..... yeah....... i dont understand........why??? didnt anyone tell you to never drive drunk ?

I agree +1

You should buy talon headlights. They are shorter I believe. So there is room inbetween the top sides of the bumper and the headlights. run your air ducts there. It'll save the look a little bit....

i heard of it it was to make your car run more lean take out the side honeycombs until its at the level you want. but it also said to never take out the one in the middle

hehe....... found that the other day felt like a complete dumbass after i found it tho. only because it said valves really big in the section it was in. lol, sorry guys, thanks
