Ok so I have a 1990 eagle talon tsi awd. It was my first DSM, you can say this car broke my DSM cherry ROFL, I bought it back from the kid I sold it to a few years ago I picked it up a few weeks ago. When I sold it to him I sold it as a shell no motor, no trans, no transfer case, no drive shaft, no rear end, and no axles because he had a 90 that he had wrecked and twisted the body apparently. Well when he did this some how it forced the drive shaft into the transfer case and broke something and messed up the drive shaft so I gave him the transfer case I had and the drive shaft. He swapped ever thing over from his car to the shell. Well he didn't do it he had some one do it and they had it all hacked up so I am going to pull the motor and trans and check everything over and maybe rebuild because like the title states this is PROJECT 9's. So my goals are simple lo,l get this bad boy into the 9's in the quarter mile, this road is going to be long and bumpy. How am I going to do this you might ask :hmm:, I have not made any effort into how I will do it. YET. LOL:D but I am going to be running an eagle stock crank, manely H beam rods, and wiseco 9.0:1 pistons, some sort of 272s? haven't decided what brand, 1200cc injectors? haven't decided what brand, E85 for sure, UEGO, I already have a auto meter phantom series boost gauge, I dont know if the stock trans will hold up, It will be getting a 4 bolt rear end, Ill have a custom drive shaft made at a local drive shaft shop out of aluminum, unless the stock one will hold. I am not sure what esle just yet but I have started GUTTING this so if you know any one looking for 1g interior parts just pm me, here are some pics so far
 
I would invest in FIC 2150cc injectors, idle much smoother on E85 with them, and you shouldnt max the injectors out.
 
Why ask so many questions and know zero about going fast? Because race car.
 
WOW 9's, good luck man. You must have a lot of cash to throw at this.
 
I got faith in ya. I know you have more than one dsm and so theres no rush to have it running tomorrow. I would def get the trans and tcase done up with lsd in the back. get that damn dsm light and get some good slicks for the track. should relocate the battery to the trunk and wire tuck it too. Ill be keeping track of what you have going on. Im very interested since I have my new toy with a swapped 6 bolt motor and she built! This will be an awesome project
 
Depending on what the local shop is going to charge you, you can get a driveshaft shop aluminum driveshaft for 749. They offer a 3in and a 3.5in for various horsepower levels they can also equip a different yoke on the ends.
 
I called up FIC to get my 2150cc injectors and they gave me some type of discount. I guess you could give it a try also
