Hey im kind of new to DSM's and I ended up buying a 91 talon tsi. It looked like a solid car when I bought it, and I had a friend of mine come with me when I looked at it and he is a big DSM guy and he said it was a decent car that was worth buying. well... i started having problems with the car. I knew that when I bought it the tune needed work. It also had jumped timing at some point (before I bought it). Then one day after I drove it the night before (was running ok that night) it wouldnt even turn over and battery had full charge.
So then me and my friend (the DSM guy) decided to pull the engine with the intent of just putting new seals all the way aroung and fixing the timing. well, as all projects do, it turned out being WAY more than I was expecting... So far we found out the 20g that was on it was garbage, the head was screwed, needs all new seals, tranny needed to be rebuilt, and the block needs to be bored out, needed to fix the tune, and many other small things.... So far we have rebuilt a different head, got a rebuilt 16g, got the tranny professionally rebuilt, got seals, got ecm link v3 lite.
Im now in the process of aranging to get the block bored out .20 over and purchacing bearings and new pistions and rings. The main problem that I am running into it that I have a kind of limited knowledge of DSM's and very little experience rebuilding motors. My friend has be helping me out alot and has been walking me threw most of the hard parts. He is now leaving to go to school and wont be able to help me out. I need to get this car finished within the next three weeks and I wont be able to finish it on my own... I need somebody with the know how to come help me out with this project so I can get it done soon. I am also VERY limited on funds and honestly wont be able to pay you for your help very much. I am willing to try and work something out with somebody that is willing to come help me. I am wanting to learn more about this and thats why I got into the project. Im also not looking for somebody to do all the work for me and I will do as much as I can.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!
My number is 402-720-9623, you can call or text me anytime if you are interested in helping.
Thanks for taking the time to look!!!
