Tim Miller's Talon was my influence thru this whole build. Hopefully I'll be able to give the guys on Street Outlaws a taste of my little 4 banger!

Nice fuel pump, is that a earl manifold?

 

[b00st3d]

My original was a cast stainless ERL, that has gone to a new home and I am now using a Hollands performance forward facing manifold.

That talon looks sick. It sits perfectly. Love the Turbo inlet and exhaust. When will it debut down the 1/4?

 

[AWD Sebring]

I know Tims car top to bottom, Sucks it never ended up being fast when he had it.

 

[tylersevo]

Love the color

 

[b00st3d]

The only thing I lack right now is my intercooler solution. Once I get that resolved, I'm hoping to make my first track passes at the IFO here n April then to back it up in September when it comes back thru!

And now I have my intercooler solution. I'm going with an air-water setup from FrozenBoost.

Looking to go with the Type 15 intercooler and probably mounting it in the stock side mount location. Then using a 24x7x3.5 radiator for the water mounted more to the passenger side for clearance of the turbo/manifold.

 

[b00st3d]

Potentially making the switch to an AEM ems-4.

 

[b00st3d]

A little prep work, now to get them powder coated.

 

[b00st3d]

Staying with DSMLink and going to see if I can push the high hp number up a little. Since my car isnt a full out racecar I don't really need the extra inputs available within aem.

 

[blacktit05]

thing looks good

 

[v8s_are_slow]

I'm shooting for the same but with aluminum rods, butchered crank, and smaller turbo. Just forked out about $3k yesterday on parts, and plenty more to go. Good luck with the progress.

 

[SkURTnDSM92T]

What an absolutely cherry car.. unreal.. very awesome

Awesome to see Tim Miller references, his car was nutty. I too knew him and his brother.. haven't seen those guys in ages.. small world

 

[diambo4life]

Tony?

 

[SkURTnDSM92T]

Haha.. One of his good friends.. Big B from his Fraternity.. This is TJ

Sorry to hijack, let's hear about this beast!

 

[v8s_are_slow]

Diambo4life, I like the new ride.

Yes, let's hear more updates.

 

[907dsm]

^^^ Hi Scott!! Haha

I'm like this build, I can't wait to see more progress. Are you planning on running E85?

 

[b00st3d]

Yes sir, Mike, I'm Tony.

My car has gotten a little ridiculous.

 

[Benjyc32]

Lets see more pictures!

 

[b00st3d]

If the weather hold out, I'll be cutting the front end off this weekend. I'll post plenty of pictures of that, nothing has changed the last couple weeks because of the cold. My garage is not climate controlled.

The plan is to run e85(possibly e98) but with the new rules about fire suits that's going to make it more of an upfront cost($1100 for a complete fire suit) .

 

[b00st3d]

And now these are back from being coated...

Thanks to Brad Jepson for the coating!

 

[Kirkamus]

Would LOVE to see you wax some guys on street outlaws but I can bet they wont even race a 4banger.

 

[b00st3d]

I've been racing with those guys for the last 10 years..I'm pretty sure I can goad them into a race. It'll be the producers that take convincing.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

And now these are back from being coated...

Thanks to Brad Jepson for the coating!

Those might be some of the nicest mounts I've seen. Are you going to do anything else under the hood that color? I think it's a great accent color.

 

[b00st3d]

The Valve cover, Water pipe and I am considering doing the Oil pan too since the front core support will be removable, It'll be a nice touch for when the front end if off at Shows.
