Always been a fan of the 2G Eagle Talon TSi AWD! I use to have a fun one back in highschool but since the trans gave out and a bunch of other issues occurred, I didn’t have the funds to keep it on the road. So the swap was taken out and the rolling shell went behind the shop out at my parents’ house.
About 8 years later, I’m talking to my brothers (which both own Talons) and the question about when will I get it running again comes up…why not now? I don’t have a second car, if I bought another car it would be car payment money and we have the rolling shell plus a bunch of spare parts to help me start the rebuild.
Another sad view:
First, my brother’s donated spare block, Evo crank, pistons and rods. Take the crank in to get some machine work since PO failed to be fully accurate about it and as quickly as I started the build, it came to a halt. Come to find out that the crank has not only already been cut once but it was the wrong crank—it was a 4G64, not a 4G63.
Not knowing what we were going to do next, I decide to seek for a transmission which was a major task on its own. After about 6 weeks of emailing junk yards, calling OP’s and so on, I find one posted on CL! Not only does he have trans and T Case but a motor as well! And this is were I prob got in over my head :/
It was a 95’ 4G63T Stroker 2.3L, 10:1, 102mm Crower Crankshaft, Crower Rods, Crower Pistons, ACL Race Bearings, BSE Kit, New Water/Oil Pumps, timing accessories, ARP Head Studs, Cometic HG, GSC Power Division Single Bee-Hive Valve Springs, Titanium Retainers and GSC 1MM OS Valves with about 7k on internals. For the price, some will raise speculations of red flags right away…but after speaking and arriving at the home address of the OP, I felt confident this was a great deal!
PO build pics:
I needed the trans and t case no matter what and I was in need of either doing a complete stock rebuild from scratch or picking up this beast. Sure, I would still need to source a complete intake manifold, turbo, intercooler, fuel/engine management/tune plus a few odd and ends. So I am in fact spending more on this build then a stock rebuild but I hope not by too much.
So we bought the complete swap home:
and began to source parts, starting with the Black Friday Sales on Extreme Psi:
-Gates Racing Performance Timing & Balance Belts
-OEM Axle Seals
-Competition Clutch Lightweight Steel Flywheel
-Competition Clutch Stage 3 - Street/Strip Series 2600 Clutch Kit
-OEM Pressure Plate to Flywheel Bolt
-OEM Timing Belt Cover Bolts
-Oil Feedline Kit (Oil Filter Location)
-Oil Return Line Kit (Socketless Hose Fitting)
-OEM Oil Return Line Gasket
-OEM Turbo Oil Return Line Bolt for Oil Pan
-OEM Turbo Oil Return Line Washer for Oil Pan
-Walbro Intank Fuel Pump Filter
-OEM Thermostat Kit
-Extreme PSI DSM 4G63T Stainless Steel Valve Cover Bolt Set
-OEM Intake Manifold Bolt
-OEM Transfer Case Bolt Kit
-Transmission Mounting Bolt Kit
-OEM Mitsubishi Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Case Bolts
-OEM Fuel Filter : Mitsubishi Eclipse
-Exhaust Manifold Gasket (4 Ply)
-Oil Dipstick Tube
-OEM Oil Dip Stick O-Ring
-FIC Fuel Injector O-Ring Seal Replacement Set
-Fuel Injector Seat Cushion (Fuel Injector Sheet) Replacement Set
-Competition Clutch Forged Steel Release Fork & Pivot Ball
-OEM Clutch Release Clip
-ARP Pro-Series Flywheel Bolt Kit (7-pieces)
-OEM Clutch Pivot Ball (this is an extra since I failed to realize the Comp Fork came with one as well :/ )
-OEM Clutch Release Bearing
-OEM Evo9 Fuel Pump
That wraps up the current order, should be here early next week—my brothers are donating some parts as well such and cams, 550cc injectors, a nice VC (pervious one was shaved) and some other odd and ends.
Plans—simple, I hope. HP goal is to get it tuned for 300whp using a 20g. Motor is capable of much more but I honestly just want a reliable daily. Hope to get it buttoned up come spring time but with this type of build, that might be wishful thinking especially since I’m a complete noob in to the DSM world…who am I kidding, I’m a noob in general.
-Suspension—up in the air. Koni/Ground Control setup, Yonaka Coilovers, Feal Coils or maybe even just some lowering springs if I end up running stock 17s from an evo or something. But If I get coils, I plan on running something along the size of 18X9 +30 with at least a 245/35—not quite there yet tho, I’ll do some test fitting with the Work XD9s from my GF's TSX.
Some other plans are the OEM 3kgt 1G VR4 front calipers, with 2G rotors and custom Brackets. I got the brackets and calipers but I am going to powder coat and rebuild them prior to throwing them on. Plus, I got a nice fluidyne radiator.

Some additional fun facts
Gonna run a 2gb front bumper and OEM blk housed headlights and hopefully gonna have a buddy wrk his retro magic :biggrin: utilizing sportsautotech's kit. In addition, I didn’t like the bare look of the front and not many options were available when it comes to front lips so I asked if I could test fit the STi lip off my GF's TSX and since it was a little beat up from daily duties, she plans on getting a new one anyhow. Going to take a little trim work but it should flow ok with the oem talon twisties:
That pretty much wraps up the beginning of this build. Plan to continue lurking in the DSM forums and of course I need to source the rest of the parts which will take some time based upon the fact that I’m broke now. Got the last 3 weeks off of this month, so I hope to get a little wrk done on cleaning it up and installing the new parts coming in—I will update along the way and bore the crap put of everyone.
Thanks for tuning in!
