Did anyone else see the blue 1992 Eagle Talon TSi in the new Issue of Import Tuner. It's the section where they bolt on parts and dyno it to see how much gain and etc.. out of it. Stock it was 183 I think with 190lbs of tq. They installed a Apex-i Down Pipe, Fuel cut thingy (forgot what it was called) and a Holley FP. After all the mods it was around 280 hp with about 190lb's tq. All my friends were freakin out how it could make over 100hp gains with only $660 bucks. One kid had the nerve that the car shouldnt of even been in the mag. I about slapped him.
 
Is that issue out on news stands yet? I would like to pick up a copy of it.
 
You mean import tuner actually has an article on TUNING? no way. I thought it was just an asian/spanish porn magazine...

Out of the three issues i have perused, none of the cars featured had horsepower figures, dyno charts, or track times. However, they did have a full run down on the shaved body kits, lambo doors, and tail light conversions
 
Apparently, as this has been posted before, the baseline #s were taken a few issues or "steps" ago, and there are other mods than the 3 you listed. I mean, c'mon, a 90hp gain for something that puts of fuel cut, a DP, and a pump??? Perhaps in zero gravity.
 
so what were the mods and also in the new TURBO GSXTCYs liscense plate is in the Norwalk shootout thingy in the back....

Edited for Grant ^^

I don't read that mag, so I couldn't tell you, but this has been brough up before in one of the forums on this site. I can't remember which, however.
 
it had cat back exhaust, intake, intercooler piping (i think) safc (i think) a stock 1g with 195 cracnk hp isnt making 183 whp. and they keep saying tuned the car so it must at least have an safc. and they tuned it on a dyno getting max power of it, had to have a mbc too but still very impressive
 
issue came out like a month ago. they put in the downpipe, hks fcd and the holley fp. im pretty sure the exact figures were a 106hp gain after spending only 640. i just thought it was cool that they actually featured a dsm for once. tired of seeing all those damn hondas everywhere:dsm:
 
Well the article I saw it baslines at like 149 or so WHP and they but a catback,filter, and groundwires:rolleyes: and it came out to about 180whp.
 
keep in mind this car just had a fresh cyclone motor installed, perhaps it's got a small/big 16G. and I'm betting the factory cat was extremely clogged (probobly removed with the downpipe.)
 
Ok, I just now looked at their website for the tuning of the Talon. This was the first time I saw it in the mag. I havnt seen it in any current issues. Sorry about the confusion. Yeah 1G's do OWN!:talon:
 
I was talking to the postwhore. ;)
