All maintenance that hasn't been done yet.

+1. Maintenance, alignment (if needed), oil change, you know the drill.
Get the car in good healthy shape first.
Then move along to the stage 1 path, i.e. boost and oil pressure gauges, wideband, mbc, intake, exh. just to name a few to help liven the car up a bit.

Did all of that, so stage one is done. change plugs to iridum ngks, oil change/ ngk R wires 3 in down pipe to straight pipe apex i N1. all guages cobalt air /fuel etg and boost. but what else.. de jon intale with aem dry filter too.

Good job, now that you have all that out of the way, for intake don't get dejon or injen, it's a bit overpriced.
I wouldn't go ebay either, why you ask ? Their couplers and hoses are crap. I'm anal about stuff like that, that's just me. I would go middleman on this one, extremepsi sells an intake for a reltively good price and comes with a filter and real good 4 ply silicone couplers.
I bought my intake from them a year ago and it's working just fine. Only thing i changed is the filter to k&n.

Thank you! but I still think I need alot of work,, I got the K sport full suspension on now with my tenzo Rs 18s wraped with toyo proxies. putting the wing on today post pictures later. but anything else?

 

[miniturbo23]

I got my car dirt cheap of some kid that didnt know what he had.. so I had alot of extra money left to play with.. just trying to do everything right any more tips?

 

[my1997gsx]

I would go with some NGK BPR7ES plugs. iridum plugs are nice but I've found that the BPR7ES plugs work the best plus there only like 2.50 a plug instead of 10- 12 bucks. You have done a good job with your list of starting mods. And every one has listed almost everything else. So I guess you could do a 1g Throttle body or ported o2 housing. New Break pads and rotors wouldn't be too bad.
I tried to list things that I don't think anyone else did but if so my bad
.

 

[miniturbo23]

I'm trying to get my car fast and make it fast quick there is alot of evo's out here and srt-4s that are running open down pipe sounding mean.. I have everything I got listed in my profile I have a 60mm throtle and pur drilled and slashed rotors with new break pads.. Just trying to see if i can hang with the big boys.. I'll put my big turbo soon..

 

[boostin92awd]

Car is looking good, and sounds like you are off to a good start get some pics up for us.

 

[bluegs03]

By did all of that, do you mean, all of the maintenance or the stage 1 mods? By maintenance i mean timing belt, tranny fluids, transfer case fluids, assessory belts if they need to be done etc etc.

Did all of that, so stage one is done. change plugs to iridum ngks, oil change/ ngk R wires 3 in down pipe to straight pipe apex i N1. all guages cobalt air /fuel etg and boost. but what else.. de jon intale with aem dry filter too.

 

[my1997gsx]

My bad!! So what size turbo are you going to put on?

 

[crimsondragon]

*facepalm*
Did you look at the 2g upgrade page?

 

[miniturbo23]

My bad!! So what size turbo are you going to put on?

I got the gt3076 ballbearing turbo I have it on a slow boy cast iron manifold with a 38mm waste gate. 750 injectors with aem ems..

 

[eclipsepunx]

I would say if the car is over 60,xxx miles change the timing belt

 

[miniturbo23]

ok i will good advise, I'm putting on my cam gears soon so I'll do it then.. Who makes good timing belts? I know greddy does but who else..

 

[PandaTalon]

damn i see that you dont play when it comes to modding your talon keep up the good work all i can say is buy a spare motor and start building

 

[Dsmj89]

Hks..

 

[eclipsepunx]

Gates racing makes a good timing belt. A little expensive but..

extremepsi.com

 

[habitatguy187]

OEM timing belt will work fine. Also those injectors aren't big enough for that turbo.

 

[ApexVIII]

OEM timing belt or Greddy and HKS if you have extra $$$
