1995 Eagle Talon TSi Full Street Build

[Bedicine]

paint and clear coat complete. Will be doing the wheel wells this weekend with the undercoating.
First picture is the day I got the car and second is after the clear coat

You might want to remove the bumper supports - undo the 4 bolts - and take a look at the inside of the frame rails.

BTW -Those 4 bolts are the quickest way to remove the front bumper - you can leave the headlights in, and slide the whole assembly out the front.

 

[Bedicine]

Hello, I had a visual inside and no rust. Got inside them as much as I could with the por 15

 

[Bedicine]

Got a few more items done this past week.
- Painted and greased wiper rack
- rust-oleum professional grade undercoating in front wheel wells
- bumper support installed (waiting for new bolts)
- front mount intercooler support installed
- painted rad supports

 

[Bedicine]

Update: I was able to find a 98 block in good shape which is being sent to MAperformance for a stage 2 build. Stripping the head of my 97 motor and shipping it down to them to be built as well. Will add the parts list shortly but can’t wait . Also learned how painful shipping a motor is from U.S to Canada

Wanted to open this up and get the groups thoughts on a turbo. I've been looking at the FP Red/Green and the HX35/40 but haven't been able to make a decision. Goal is around 450-500 WHP on 93 octane as we dont have E85 here. I dont want anything that is super laggy as the car will mainly be driven on the street. Any input, i just picked up a Walbro 400lp with re-wire the other day in anticipation of the build

 

[Justin DuBois]

Others can tell you about FP - I've been told their stuff is great. I've yet to be in a position where I want to throw down the cash to buy new, but if I had cash for new, that's who I'd go with.

I've been having fun making the MHI TD05H and E3 stuff work. So far I've burned through a GVR4 Big16G TD05H with a 2G, D2 casting ported 7cm2 turbine housing. I Managed to get 24psi max and 382HP out of it before I noticed the big cracks.

After a rebuild, and a E-Bay E3 turbine housing update, what little time I've had it running, I noticed the spool was very nice, but I don't have numbers on its max performance yet.

I'm very curious to have jusMX141 machine a TD05H compressor housing for a 20G billet compressor wheel, in combo with a clipped 12 blade turbine shaft to see what that does.

I suspect a green/hx35 would struggle to hit 500whp on 93. I ran something similar to a red with s2 cams and it made 30 psi at 4500 rpms. Of course, laggy is subjective. If you really want to spend then consider the newer Xona "S" turbos. My xr-71-64s makes 30 psi at 4600 on the exact same engine setup but can make 100hp more. Not bad for a 700hp turbo. In the end, I feel like the FP bolt-on turbos are getting too expensive. It was just a few years, literally, that one could get a green, red ect for $800. Not anymore.

 

[Bedicine]

Appreciate the responses above, little excited for what came in today

Thank you, I’m going to look into these. The no e85 up here makes things a little more difficult

Got another shipment today from dudes. Front and rear subframe bushings. Rear diff bushings and mount along with the cold air duct intake kit.

Lol never fun, I was actually surprised how fast everything got here. Ordered on the 10 of sept, shipped the 22nd and here on the 3rd of October.

 

[Bedicine]

Finally got around to spraying the floor with bed liner. Before and after photos

 

[Bedicine]

Started pulling the motor apart tonight to get the head and crank off to MAP. Short block arrived with them this morning.
Feels like I’m starting to actually make progress. Got the dash sitting in the car yesterday, rear factory trailing arms installed along with 3G brake booster and master .

 

[Bedicine]

Got tied up a little bit today trying to do the new walbro 400lph pump. Wishing I went with the 450 now as I can’t find a single write up on this one. Posted a separate forum in the newbie corner but essentially I can’t get the plastic clip on (photo 1) but ended up doing the washer and rubber gasket but I don’t think this will hold once it gets pressure. Going to trouble shoot this and finish pulling the motor apart this weekend. Have to say the height of this pump I’m almost left with no rubber on the holder with how much had to be removed to get it to sit

Also got the an adaptor on from rtm for the feed line. Have the an adaptor for the return I still have to do.

Oooh this is such good detail, and your timing for me is perfect. I think 450 is my next update. My Supra Green 260lph pump is getting long in the tooth.

 

[Bedicine]

I think I’m going to be changing this up as I’m not happy with the deal. Might get a different fitting, something similar to what rtm has and try it

 

[Bedicine]

Got around to some misc items this weekend,

- painted the evo rear calipers and cts v set and threw on the brembo stickers. Back ones were a little large so could only go with the writing. Clear coat done after they were installed.
- removed stock bushings from front and rear subframe (wasn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be)
- removed factory bushings from rear knuckles. They’re completely rusted out and bushings were shot. All prepped and bushings removed which took about 35 minutes. Por 15 and prothane bushings next.
- cleaned and prep a handful of items for painting (rear diff, subframes, rear knuckles, misc brackets)

 

[Bedicine]

Got around to por15 the knuckles, painting them and installing the prothane bushings in the rear. Installed new hubs on the front set, waiting on the rear set to arrive still

Front and rear subframe also got the same por-15 treatment along with POM bushings from DCP.

Picked up an evo rear sway bar this weekend and started working on the rear diff.

A little wrinkle paint Sunday

 

[Bedicine]

RM racing front sway arrived today. Thanks to Dan at Mach V for answering all my questions and the quick shipping. Have an evo rear to pair with this

 

[Bedicine]

Remanufactured power steering rack came in today. Threw on the new tie rods and started assembling it. I’m missing one piece of the subframe, need to source this.
EVO 8 wheel also arrived. Will need to get this recovered and find a new back trim

 

[Bedicine]

I’ve got some videos posted on YouTube and TikTok of some of these parts and Instagram has some better pictures of the build
