Ok first off just wanted to say hi. Now im no rook or noob to tuning but I am to dsm's so any advice is more then welcome. But I do ask that if you plan on knocking me, please dont waste my time nor yours cause I am truely here to learn. Now with that said Here is what I am working with.
I have a 91 Eagle Talon AWD Turbo. Before I bought the car I used to help the kid who owned it get parts and such that he needed or wanted. So I do know of some things that have been done to this car before I got her and decided to do everthing the right way. When I got it she was pretty much stock aside from a evo III manifold and big 16g turbo. He removed the axles and coverted it to RWD and welded the rear diff. HE wasnt building the car for speed, but to drift it. And I can say this car can do it. He put eibach springs with KYB AGX struts on her as well as a faze boost guage and blitz turbo timer.oh yea and he half azz welded a 4" exhaust off of a deisel truck onto the car. hench the boost creep at high rpms.
ok now that I have had it I got rid of almost everything he has done so far.
It now sports a 3" Megan downpipe, cat, and full catback, o2 houseing dump tube. this was just to fix the getto rigging done. I replaced the boost guage with a triple pod that now houses a boost, air fuel ratio, and oil preasure guages and on the dash is my water and fuel presure guages. I got rid of the factory intake crap for a very nice Dejon 3" air intake, 3" GM MAF and a Translator, which this item im having issues with trying to tune it. that will be one of my questions later. she now sports a FMIC with a HKS SSQV BOV and a upper strut tower bar. She came with 17" rims and junk tires so I went to tirebarn and got new tires for these rims and went ahead and bought 18" Motegi 5 star deep dish rims and Nitto 555 tires. these will be my spring through fall rims.
I am Currently running brand new NGK Platinum plugs and 10.2mm wires which are getting switched out with a coil pack system and a Dynatek ignition module. which are on there way. I also have a brand new 20g turbo, tubular manifold, st lower sway bars, energy suspension motor, trans, and control arm bushings coming to. to replace the worn out suspension I got a set of D2 36 way coilover kit.
ok as for dress up really nothing yet cause im not sure what I want to do, but I did get some new tails cause mine were cracked. and I got clear out corner lights. As for the audio. Theres alot basicly panisonic 6.5 dvd, 2 7" headrest monitors, Phoenix Gold 4" 6.5 components, 6x9, 1,000w 4 channel and a 1,000w mono pushing 2 12" phoenix gold sub and a 2.5 tsunami cap. and kicker 0 guage wiring. its not alot but I was aiming more for the movie feel of it.
ok now heres the deal. I plan on rebuilding the reast of the motor but not real sure as to were to start internally, so any ideas as to what all I will need, parts and such, and possibly were to get it all would be great.
now as far as the whole car goes im having issues with tuning it and will post a vid tomarrow. here is the small list I can think of.
1. Every time I try to shift from first to second it grinds. ( again will show in vid.)
2. she used to idle fine. now she idles very shitty.
3. When she is cold, me is very loud, not really a tapping noise, but almost like somthing is grinding. but once she warms up she is fine. no more noise.
4. I have noticed that she bucks hard as hell if I get to high in rpms, which I know has to do with the translator. I need to see if anyone has any howto's on tuning this thing or what else can I run on my 3" GM MAF cause she is eating through gas somthing bad! Whats wierd is after you get into the boost, granted this is not at full throttle only half, she will either smell super rich like gas, ir it smells somthing more like alcohol, which is I think runing lean.
5. Why does my factory boost guage allways read so much higher then my aftermarket one? which one is right?
6. ok now after I ran her hard, why does it seem so damn sluggish and hesitant when I try to give it any kind of gas?
ok I think thats it for now but if I think of anything else I will post.
