1991 Eagle Talon Tsi Grandfather Build

[AlwaysDTF]

What's up dsmtuners. I'm new to this forum so I hope to find everything I need on here. I'm doing a Drag/Street build on a 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi (AWD). I bought this car in Georgia last week & was determined to build it for an event at my local drag strip for IFO in November. I'm aiming for 11's in the Forced Induction Street Class. I daily a 97' Gst and also owned a 89' Skyline GTS-T, 92 Toyota Soarer GTT, 83' Porsche 944, 93 Mazda Rx-7, and 86' 300zx ( i'll include pics ).

i'm doing this build for my grandfather who was very big into NHRA. Cancer took him away in 2006 so i've always wanted to build a car and drag race for him but never got around to do it until now. I hope everyone enjoys my 2 month build & sorry for all the chit chat.

I'll also be doing the build off my Instagram so feel free to follow: AlwaysDTF

depending on how soon the car is done, atlanta has a import showdown in the middle of october so that would be good test and tune. if not, nov 4th is import faceoff in montgomery so that's my big deadline. as of today, i i have bought $6,300 worth of stuff for this damn car & only really aiming for 11's.

i'm about to pull a allnighter & i'll have pictures up as i go.

 

[AlwaysDTF]

finally just finished up deleting all the old stuff & getting everything prepped. this is by far the dirtiest car i've ever messed with which makes it even better to clean up. i'll be working on the car for the next 3 days nonstop so enjoy the pictures.

Im with him. What turbo are you going to be running? And what tuning device are you going to using?

 

[AlwaysDTF]

thanks man. and the only reason for the fisheye lens is so you can more of a angle on the sides of what i'm taking a picture of. i personally am not a big fan of the lens either but i bought it & never used it ha.

i'm running a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo & aem series 2 box.

[AlwaysDTF]

cleaning out the bay was a success. spent the whole day sunday scrubbing & moving stuff. now time to fine detail the hell out of it but due to horrible alabama weather, i'll have to wait til' tomorrow night. bunch of storms moving through so tonight & tomorrow are modern warfare days on the xbox (GT-nismolover69).

i'm also working on having live stream camera's on the outside & inside of the car during the race in a couple of months.

 

[AlwaysDTF]

FINALLY finished up getting all the oil & grease off the bottom of the car. taking a hour break up post these pictures up then getting back at it for the night. i deleted a lot of stuff before washing it down and power steering being the most annoying to delete. enjoy.

 

[danielsl1999gsx]

Just started following you on instagram, looking forward to pictures and updates!

 

[AlwaysDTF]

followed you back, man. enjoy.

 

[AlwaysDTF]

sorry i haven't posted on here lately, been to busy with getting everything together and etc. finally got done with the insane detailing of the bay & just not started getting everything situated to put back together. so far i've replaced the valve cover gasket & cam angle sensor gasket ( which was covered in RTV ).

Tonight, I put the new injectors on, wire in map sensor, iat, and wideband for AEM. the new radiator, and start throwing the harness back together.

Enjoy.
