[PLDSM]

Autopower cage installed, catchcan bracket made as well as line done. Also got the driver's kirkeys mounted on the stock rail for adjustability.

Some pics of the seat setup utilizing the factory rail before I fully installed the seat.

Passenger side seat complete. All I need to do is paint it.

Both seats mounted in the car. Last step is to install the battery, fill the engine with fluids, put gas in it and try and get it started on link. Thanks to a great buddy of mine (Chuck) I have a solid tune I can upload into the car before it's off the the dyno in June.

Car is all buttoned up. Was running into a couple issues when I wanted to start the car. Turned the pump on with dsmlink and was getting no fuel pressure. Ended up figuring out what the issue was and also put in a new walbro 525 hellcat pump. This thing should flow some volume. Also thanks to my buddy Dusty I was able to pinpoint why I wasn't getting voltage to the starter solenoid. Should be ready for first startup in a couple days.

Thanks man. Yes sir, over here in warren. I want to say we briefly met at Chuck's one day when I drove my red 2g over. Unless that was someone else but I dont know any one else local that has that color gsx like you. I have yet to go the the strip, it has been a few years. Lapeer was the place I always went to.

First start up and the car fired up instantly. Have to adjust a couple parameters since it's running a little rich. Other than that pretty stoked that she is up and running.

iAlright man glad it worked out I had some faith in your skills well that's off your list, talk to you soon, got fuel leak issues working out now .

 

[PLDSM]

Have not updated in a while but had a lot of projects around the house. Privacy fence has been put up and redid our porch, next are the bathrooms. However the day has finally come "Dyno Day". I dropped the car off at Force Engineering in Kalamazoo. Tyler has been a ton of help and I can't wait to hear back from him when the car hits the dyno this coming Tuesday.

 

[PLDSM]

Finally able to get back to updating the build profile. Ended up swapping turbo setups to a borg Warner s369sxe. Car dynoed at 580 on pump gas and 690 on e85. Pretty good numbers but a couple issues came up. On the last pull the fuel pressure started to drop on higher rpms, also started to knock the tires loose. Dialed it down a bit and final number for the season are approx 630awhp on e85. Going to figure out the fuel drop issues and shoot for the moon. Atleast this way we can stretch the power band into the 8-9k rpm depending on how the turbo likes it. Big thanks to Tyler at Force Engineering. He has a ton of knowledge and is a great guy to deal with.

Dyno video of a couple of the pulls.


Final dyno slip.

Thanks. You can never take too many pictures to document your progress.

Haven't touched this project in years but back at it again.. final my buddy and I got the battery relocation done and into the trunk of the talon.. got everything crimped, soldered and heat shinked.. made a quick little bracket for the positive post to sit off in the bay and ran the pos + cable under the vehicle held by p clamps.

Next at hand will be volvo power steering pump like we did in the ram50.

 

[PLDSM]

Got a super simple bracket made of steel and used 2 riv nuts at the top to secure the factory power steering resivour. Pump is in and waiting on the line to come in.

Good ole Dan got some practice on the dime maker machine . Exhaust needed to be modified to clear the pump at max point.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Damn man it looks good hope to see it again soon, love your fab work thanks for everything by the way.

 

[PLDSM]

Man does it feel good to have power steering again... got all the components back in, buddy had a good idea to prime the pump before fire up and for any leak paths. Now time to switch over to the air intake side of the business..

 

[PLDSM]

Finally was able to source a front bumper for the talon as well as a fender that isn't dented up.. potentially will use the new fender just depends on how nicely the dent comes out of the old one.

Also, got the air intake system sorted out.. we were able to make a lower splash shield and tied it into the fender liner and body of the vehicle. Last step will be to tie it into the front bumper but that will happen when it's closer to paint. Got a universal coolant overflow as well and mounted that.
