JDK Time Attack 1g Talon (built by Racing Greed)

[Kruger]

Hello everybody.

My name's Jordan, and Ive been into dsm's for a couple years now. Im located in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
This is the first of many posts that ill be throwing up here as I get closer to the completion of my build (If I ever feel its complete ) Ive been a member of BC DSM for a couple years now, and I owe the people on there a huge thank you for the knowledge and assistance that I have received from the club. DSM owners are great. I also have to thank RTM Racing in Ontario for being my favorite place to shop

I have bought a lot of stuff on here so Im sure a few members will recognize my name. Cant say I have had much luck buying things on here (and I mean expensive parts)
There are only a handful of parts that I have bought off DSM tuners that have even been useable sadly.. I hope future transactions can go a little smoother. I can assure you, that if you buy a part from me, I will be 100% honest in its condition.

Im fortunate to have a great relationship with 'Racing Greed' in Coquitlam (my local tuner shop) In my mind, one of the best tuner shops. Ive seen enough solid builds come out of there to know. 250whp-1500whp builds.
These guys have guided me through the many decisions that are made during a build. I focused on making the car an absolute street/drag beast.
I want the car to be drive-able. I want to enjoy it during the summer, and hammer down at the track. Ive tried to stay moderately conservative throughout my build. I could have gone bigger and badder. But I wanted to stay grounded and realistic.

The car is much different now to say the least...
ill get into the details as to all the changes Ive made once you know what I started with.

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a black 1ga with some pretty good bolt ons.

The car was already set up with:
- speed density
- 3inch turboback exhaust
- oil cooler
- kinetic T3 tubular SS mani
- innovate wideband
- relocated civic battery
- Custom 4" intake pipe w/ huge K&N.
- 272 regrinds
- massive custom intake mani w/ 70mm tb.
- adj cam gears
- ACT 2600 w/ street disk
- Cometic hg.
- KYB AGX susp.
- Garrett GT3071r .63 t3 garrett housing.
- 4 bolt lsd



This may be a pretty quick thread, since Im almost done my build. I just have to get the engine in and it will be complete.
I had a lot of mechanical problems with this car. It took some serious motivation to get it where it is now. Ive been focused on my build daily for over a year now. I dont waste time.

Here are some pics of the car when I first started out.
p.s. There was no rubber on the ground before I got there... jk

Ill start this off with a couple pictures of some changes I made.
I ended up moving to a stock 1g manifold completely ported with a stock 1g tb.
The sheetmetal one developed major cracks around 28psi.
Also moved to a greddy type R bov.
The transmission was changed out for a late 2g trans and shifted like butter.
Until I ruined the input shaft and clutch splines... but who cares right! this is a sweet build thread! nothing ever brakes on a dsm
I drove it for a year with barely any issues!!!! I decided to give my car a gift.
METH. Also got some Enkei racing rims on toyo proxe 4's and a carbon fiber 1ga hood. I soon after started protecting it with a sheet of DEI gold heat reflecting tape. It seemed to actually work well.
I also found a wicked deal on a set of Tein coilovers. Sure changed the ride quality for the better!

After a solid year of driving, I decided it was time for a serious tune. So I added a pre turbo methanol nozzle and hit the heartbreak dyno at Racing Greed (mustang dyno)

The car put down 333 awhp and 295ftlbs without methanol.
Once I added meth I was getting tiny pop occasionally up top. It seemed to be hard to tune and the car started to make power after fiddling with the cam gears.. but we noticed there was an issue. The car was making almost the EXACT same hp WITH methanol. 337 awhp and 298ftlbs.

I decided to call it a day and take the car home and investigate.
What I found would make almost any one of us cry before looking an further..
I found the problem.
- The crank bolt had worked itself loose and the woodruff key actually ate its way around the inside of the crank sprocket groove AND the back timing plate.
The woodruff key was almost a 1/4 turn away from where it should be in the crank sproket and timing plate. This meant that my crank was out of phase by a 1/4 turn!!!!! After a lot of pacing, I decided to just get a new sprocket and back timing plate and time the motor with finger crossed.

I was the luckiest man ever. Once the timing was complete I did a compression test. 160 160 160 160
Thats how lucky.

About a month later I decided that it was time to throw the car on the heartbreaker again and see what kind of power I could squeeze out of it with meth.

TWO days before the car was going on the dyno, I started noticing a problem. The oil catch can was filling up way quicker than normal. Damn you blow-by.
It got a lot worse and quickly... I decided to change plans.

*****I decided to do a build.*************

Heres where the fun really started.
Just before the car went down for surgery I had a 2g transmission built for me with some goodies inside. I went 4spider center diff, and TRE machined internals (detailed gears etc) Fresh synchros, and updated gears (some 1g components used) This should be a great trans for the build

I wanted to start off with a fresh and strong bottom end.
So i had the block machined and I had some new Wiseco pistons and Eagle rods put in. I found a mint OEM 6bolt crank and that went in aswell. I went with a 8.3 compression setup with Clevitte bearings.

- I went new everything for the block, water pump, oil pump/cover, timing components


I decided to go big with the cylinder head too.

It got a full port job, new ss valves and bronze guides, Dual Si springs.
- Got my hands on some FP4r cams
- Brian Crower cam gears
- 3g lifters
- Gates timing belt
- New Cometic hg

Got some other goodies to make this beast breathe even better yet.
- New Maperformance dsm t3 exhaust manifold (beautiful piece)
- Jm Fab Race intake manifold w/ 65mm tb.
- Thermal Barrier gasket

I also Decided that it was time for a slightly bigger turbo. I was totally fine with my GT3071R but I wanted to guarentee myself an easy 450awhp. I think I have bought the right turbo to get the job done.
I went with a Garrett GT3076R turbo w/ .60 a/r antisurge compressor cover and Garrett T3 .82 a/r 3"Vband
The GT3071R was a super fun turbo. I look forward to see what the GT3076R is capable of in a .82 housing.

I have the alternator relocated with jays racing relocation kit and I also incorporated the mighty max front facing oil filter housing into my build.
This would allow me to run a nice custom Vband downpipe with lots of clearance.

- I got my hands on a Dynatek ARC2
- Complete engine grounding kit

As it stands. Im just getting everything together now and its all going in.
The car will be a beast. My goal is to run 10's at the local dragstrip here.
I cant see that being a problem. I figure this setup should yield 450+ awhp.

Heres the pics of some of the upgrades ive got lined up to go into this thing

And finally.. As she sits right now
I will post more up as I get the motor in and tuned.
The dyno sheet will also get uploaded once I have it
Thanks for checking out my thread!

 

[92AWDHX40]

Nice build coming along nice numbers to.

 

[Kruger]

Thanks buddy. The original setup proved to be very efficient on the dyno. My power curve was very linear. It had minimal lag for the top end power it was producing (without methanol)
I decided to step things up and go with a better top end setup while still retaining some drive-ability.
All of this work, and Ill be swapping it all into an even nicer shell in a year or so

 

[TurboGEEK]

This baby is shaping up real good

 

[schalk35]

Interested to see what that 3076 will in the .82 housing as well.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Do you notice any major heat decrease from it being coated? I'd probably keep it polished imo.

 

[Kruger]

I havent ran it yet. But I know the coating works. It was done by WC custom coatings in Kelowna B.C.
I know members of BC DSM that have had their parts coated my them and have had good results in lowering underhood temperatures. There are a couple members who were able to touch their manifold with their bare hand right after the car was turned off. try that with no coating... haha

This manifold got a thermal barrier coating all over it and it was finished with a tungsten color.
It was also flow coated inside with the thermal barrier.

With the uncoated manifold , I probably would melt my carbon fiber hood.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Man, i haven't had any issues personally with my cf hood and my dnp manifold

 

[Kruger]

Well thats good. I dont ever plan on pulling my manifold to get it coated, so I just stepped up before I installed it. There are lots of opinions on coating. I like the idea of scavenging. Why let all that heat float around in the engine bay when it could have made power. Underhood temps werent my only deciding factor. It should aid in spool characteristics too. In theory, it should help throughout the whole rev range.
Should be perfect for me considering I want decent spool so its still streetable, and top end so I can let'er'rip when I hit the track. Ill post dyno dyno numbers pretty soon. The car should be done in a month or so. After the break in, Im going for the full tune.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Youll spool fine with the gt30r, ive got an hx40 im dealing with haha i still get full boost by4k though. Nice build man.

 

[Kruger]

I sure hope so! haha I had a GT3071R on my previous setup, and It spooled remarkably well. So I decided to go a bit bigger. I plan on maxing the GT3076r out. I have quite a bit of methanol in the mix too. Should be interesting to see what kind of power this thing makes. Im not quite sure what to expect. With the JMfab race manifold, Maperformance t3 manifold, fp4r cams, gt3076r with 16gph of meth, on a 8.3:1 2L, Im hoping for 450awhp +

After reading my build thread, what do you guys figure this thing will put down (on a mustang dyno)

 

[supraevo87]

very nice build cant wait to see what it puts down.

 

[Kruger]

Changed up the cam gears! I like the AEM's look.
and they are noticeably lighter too. I cant go all gold member and keep the Brian Crower gears on my gold block

 

[dharrison]

very cool

 

[Kruger]

Thanks!


Figure I should update this.
I have a way nicer shell now, and the car is about to get a 6 point cage.
I picked up the shell off a friend (traded a turbo)
Rust free, every panel lines up perfect, way better paint, and rolled front fenders.
Even came with a 4bolt rear and dual piston brakes!
Im upgrading to cobra brakes right away though


Im swapping everything over from my old shell, and then dropping in the built motor.

Oh, and I built a hybrid GTX3076R out of the GT3076R I was planning to run.

53 lb/min ------> 65 lb/min Why not right....

Ill keep posting up progress shots from this point forward.
Thanks for checking out the build!

Jordan.

 

[ErikTande]

This is awesome, subscribed!

 

[craig4g63]

Is that Lowell's old shell?

 

[Kruger]

Hey Craig! yes it is

 

[1G Eclipse94928]

Your paint is beautiful!

 

[new2awd]

any updates? im in the process of stripping and doing body work but 450wheel is my goal

 

[Kruger]

The car is currently getting a cage put in it over the next couple days. I went with a 10 point NHRA cage.
Also having seat brackets made to fit my sparco fighter race seat and evo 8 recaro passenger seat.

Ill upload some pics later today

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HERE ARE SOME BUILD PICTURES

 

[RipperXX]

Looks like a very solid build. Except, the Cometic head gasket. Years ago I was reading a thread where someone took some very expensive paper that showed pressure, and compared several head gaskets. Cometic was by far the worse, much worse than OEM. In fact the only one that was better than OEM I think was an HKS HG.
