its close to spray time, should i do it?

[purpleesi]

I have a 1995 talon ESi with 132k on it. We did a compression check and the compression was

Cylinder #1: 180
Cylinder #2: 180
Cylinder #3: 174
Cylinder #4: 170

i did a post earlier in the year and everyone thought those numbers were ok
so im buying a NOS wet kit (i think its the fogger 35,50,75 shot) on payday (this thursday). My engine is completly stock though, with not even an air intake (although i do have zex plugs and MSD 8.5mm wires coming in the mail, they should be here monday or tuesday) im just concerned about the high mileage of my car. Do you think it will be ok? is there any upgrades that i should consider before installation? btw i am having a local shop do the install as i want everything to go smooth. any input?

change the plug gap, and change the plugs if you spray alot. dont get to greedy and you'll be fine.

umm get a cai (if your strapped for cash get one of those cheap intakes off ebay then put a nice k&n filter at the end of it, err get some piping and make it yourslef )

Header, Hi-Flow Cat, Cat-Back and you should be good,

No header or HI-Flow needed, im not running any

DSMJim said hes had mixed results from the zex plugs and they were mostly bad. i would get the BKR7E-11(the box is sitting right next to me ) plugs, cheap copper colder NGK's. otherwise you should be set to run any shot up to 75.

with that high mileage and everything considered i would at least open up your intake and exhaust fully so it can go through much easier and you wouldnt be holding yourself back as well

don't bother with the ZEX plugs, just get NGK BKR7ES-11. you don't need headers or high-flow cat, cause i don't and i'm running perfectly fine, although the high flow is going on tommorow.

well i dont really have a choice about the plugs because they are already in the mail and will be here today or tomorrow. I suppose ill just use them until they go bad and then ill get those other ones.

also, do you think its ok to go with the full 75 shot or should i keep it down for awhile? i was thinking about starting with the 50 but if i can do 75 right away i might like that better.

You dont have a choice? Sure you do, go down to the autoparts store and get some different ones. Be really careful with what plugs/gap you run. I melted a plug in my number three cylinder on my old GS with a 50 shot.. Or maybe it was a 75. I didnt change the gap, nor the heat range and got the cylinder to hot.

start off with the smallest shot. spray a bunch of runs (not in a short amount of time obviously) and check everything, and work your way up.

definatly start wiht the lowest shot first. i started with a 55 first. it took 1 run to realize how weak that was. then i bumped it up to a 65. i left it there for a bit cuz i still had stock gapped stock heat range plugs. i had to special order the colder NGK's. when i got those in i bumped it to a 75. its a kick in the ass. i just showed my mom how it works today... she wasnt thrilled oh and make sure you gap it down to .035-.030

I supouse it is same for 93 GS motor? and I wont run more hen 50 shots so i gess I'll be ok?I already have headers,catback,test pipe,and open intake with K&N filter.

What rims are those on the talon? I really like those and my new daily driver is a 1995 esi as well and I'm looking for some rims.
