Marks Talon Build

[Mark4g63t]

Hey guys. Just going to make a list of some of the things the car has been through and what all i've changed on it along with the up coming build I am in the process of doing with a goal of ~700awhp. I should have lots of pics.

So to start it off. I got the car completely stock besides a Greddy BOV when I was 17, now 23. It was a FWD Talon TSI. Drove it for a little bit before the stock turbo went out and I replaced it with a new one. After that the #3 rod went through the block and I began my first rebuild.
That build consisted of:
6 bolt block with 2g head
1g rods 2g pistons stock crank
16g internally gated
650cc FIC's
DSMLinkV3

The 16g turbo

How it was always treating me..http://www.dsmtuners.com/attachment...8/?temp_hash=c64c5eee28ef6b3d658bc651a8234e60

After that I was starting to get into the whole boost thing and learning more about my addiction that had taken ahold of me.

I soon had to have more power and a decent looking setup. So I got.
VRSF FMIC
TD06 20g
1g BOV
FIC BlueMax 1050's
AFPR
-AN Fuel Filter
Did a little bit of a wire tuck deleting all the emissions stuff and then the AC soon after and PS down the road.
Hid the fuse box down in the passenger wheel well area.

How it was starting to look...Messy

Made a switch to run E85

Then I burnt an exhaust valve, so I got the head rebuilt and slapped it back on.

I couldn't stand only being able to do 40+mph rolls any longer and decided it was time for an AWD swap. I did some research and knew some people that had done the swap before and soon found myself searching for a parts car to steal the parts from. That in itself was a total joke and a waste of time. Car ended up being in Iowa and I was told it was an AWD 5 speed, however when I got there it was a AWD Auto. I still took it home and sold the trans and t case. for a 5 speed one and I kept the:
Gas tank
Rear subframe with the bolts
rear axles
LSD Diff that I ended up swapping the gears out of it for 5 speed ones
driveshaft and the hangers

This was my first pass ever. Was on 28psi. Had issues going from first to second in the upper rpm range.

This was the best pass I had of the weekend/ Day and wish I would have been able to make more passes with that setup.

Now to the Currant state the car is in... Rough

Engine is Out

The Interior Chassis and the Engine bay Harness are both pulled out and have been undergoing a rewire and tuck along with the fuse box being relocated to the glove box area. Deleting everything unneeded or unused.

BIG UPDATE:
Ran into a little issue/ set back. Block that I thought was std. bore was in fact already .020 over.. Had to exchange my pistons for some .040 ones.
The wiring harnesses are done! Got the dash back in and the interior harness all hooked up. Soo Clean!
I also decided on a Borg Warner 8776 Twin scroll and a JMF Topmount Manifold to match.

 

[Mark4g63t]

Got my pistons exchanged, block should be done soon!

All the "shaving" is done, just need to sand the fire wall then it's ready for paint.

In the mean time I will be ordering all new front knuckles, a-arms and lower control arm/ balljoints to replace whatever is bent and causing excessive tire wear.
Will also be welding a 4th diff mount as a step towards toughening up the driveline. Once it's driving I will be addressing this further.

 

[Mark4g63t]

Got a lot done. Wiring harnesses are in. Dash is all together. Got my block almost assembled, just waiting for my oil pickup and my headgasket. Then the cams and everything else can go in/ on it.

The engine bay is now black and subframes and brake lines are back on.

Got my wastegates so once I receive my manifold and get the engine back in I'll be able to make my downpipe/exhaust and wastegate dump tubes.

Oh yea can't forget.. This thing is HUGE!!

Borg Warner 8776ett T4 Twin Scroll .91 a/r

Engine is back in, wiring harness is all hooked up, and has power now that the battery is relocated to the trunk and all hooked up. Just waiting for my radiator and manifold then it should run!
