My new project '91 talon AWD

[vaboys2ndgen]

Sold my DD civic coupe and thought i was getting into an awesome deal until i got on the road heading home with this talon. noticed a change in the way the car drove performance wise, finally got it home around midnight and the car was soo damn hot i had no choice but to allow the turbo timer to run the full 10 and half mins. . after that was done i checked the upper radiator hose and it was still very very hot.

issues so far:

1. coolant problem, thermostat? radiator cap? figure i'd replace the easy stuff to save the hassle.
2. oil leaking inbetween the motor and the firewall, you can smell and see the burning smoke coming from behind there and that where its leaking on the ground also. have not yet gotten underneath the car to pinpoint it but plan on it this week.
3. passenger side window is inoperable right now. if you put it down theres a chance you may not get it back up, luckily we got the automatic window and a pull of the window itself to raise it and close all the way!
4. No tuning software at all with all the mods that are on this car i can see why the 1st motor may have blew.
5. 2G maf with stock injectors and no way to tune the car.
6. 255 fuel pump, have yet to verify, no way to control fuel with stock injectors.

Mods so far:

tial bov
fmic with all IC piping welded together to limit couplers
evo3 16g internally gated
cyclone motor
o2 housing has dump tube coming off it
aftermarket downpipe Dungeon Custom Downpipe?
aftermarket catback system thats way to loud!!!
blue top 450cc injectors
walbro 255HP fuel pump def has that whine to it
non oem fuel rail unsure of which kind
auxilary fan was replaced and it hardwire to a flip switch inside the car. . .
Shepherd Stage 1 transmission IS there a marking on the shep trans to prove what it is?
Katana SKR wheels 17x8
greddy turbo timer
greddy EBC boost controller I do need to read up on this i have never used on, i'm a joe p fan!

Well went to VIP garage today for the final area DSM meet of the year, driving back home heard a weird noise pulled over...limp it back to justins (turbo1307) house.

RIP FPHTA88 turbo

Everything looks normal

Wow the air filter took out the turbo... That sucks... What kind of filter was that? Nice shirt BTW...

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

APC skinny filter from advance auto parts, thought it would have been a better idea than just a screen over the turbo inlet... guess not.

 

[woooop]

you get what you pay for !

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

I guess that's one reason I'm glad I still use a 2g MAS. If something large gets in it has to be stopped by the MAS.

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

Yeah a honda buddy of mine that works for clutchmasters racing, last time he saw the car was on the 2g mas and he asked how the hell it got through that . Not knowing i switch to gm maf through the IC piping.

 

[yangtech]

Wow, I can't believe your turbo got taken out by your air filter.

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

you and everyone else man.

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

Well after thinking, and being deployed i'm parting out the setup and eventually taking a break. Selling everything DSM related. Eventually both cars '96 shell and the '91 will be sold also.

Dam man i must say thats gotta suck!! I have never hurd of something like this happening. Also if you dont mind how did you ened up routing your intercooler piping?

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

Short route made to fit piping (def needed to be redone) But it worked and didnt have any boost leaks. Here's the only photos i have:
