Looking good, glad that intake worked out for you.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

yay for running dsm's. I better see more of us to combat those pesky evos we all saw on the cruise!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

I hope so too. ^

haha, nitrous time goodhart?

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

I have most of what I need for Nitrous, we'll see. I just need the solenoids and wiring. Want to get my Tank checked out/re-certified/whatever after that thread you posted a few weeks ago too.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

very nice goodhart! Can't wait to see what this thing puts out in a few weeks

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Damn that looks good! I love the all black look look under the hood.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

SO whats the wait?

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Money right now. :(

I'm pretty broke after buying that tranny, clutch, etc. Need to save up to get a boost-a-pump, and to get my IC pipes, o2 housing and WG adapter made. I also need to make an intake with some mandrel bends Kerry brought over last weekend. The save up for a tune after I break everything in. I also have to sort out about 1.3 million small things on this car. I am just so burned out on this POS right now though....

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

A few parts showed up in the mail yesterday. I still need an UICP, and O2 housing. I have all the flanges though. Still need to do a bunch of wiring crap (extending bits of the harness for the SMIM, install gauges, finish up loose ends) take out the ABS computer, auto seat belt wiring, and put the interior back together.

I am still debating picking up an FP exhaust manifold and using a T3 spacer plate to bolt to the turbo. I may call Shane for his opinion on this.

Then all I should need is a base tune to break it in and maybe some other small stuff. Money is severely lacking right now since I haven't received my GI Bill yet this summer semester. :KANE:

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Test fit the new intake today while I was in Isanti. Didn't have much time, so I just threw it on quick, plus it was way too nasty hot out to spend any real time on it, especially when the shed was about 20* hotter than it was outside in the sun.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Brought the car to Primo to have them make some parts like IC piping, o2 housing, and some wiring.

Found out my suspension parts were for a FWD, not an AWD car, so I'm stuck at stock ride height in the rear for now.

Also picked up these bitches yesterday :D

17x8 +35 need new tires pretty badly.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Nice, those wheels are badass. I just don't like the fact everyone has them. But they have them for a good reason, they are badass and look great on a DSM. You better be calling me when you pick that bitch up.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Can't wait to see the rest of this thing come together! It's been so long!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Nice. Think it'll be running for the cruise?

Getting there!! Dan Chang is picking up my ECU from Shane tomorrow, and it should be ready for its 1st start up before the end of the week. :D

It may need a few other quick things, I'm not totally sure. Maybe Mike, Jesse or the Chang brothers could chime in. ;)

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

lookin good! feedline is sexay!!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Very excite!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

I should mention that it would have been done by now if My n00b ass wouldn't have installed the water pump pulley backwards. :lol:

I guess that's what I get for trying to put together a 4g63 that was more torn down than I've ever seen one, with nothing more than Chilton/Haynes manuals, some tools and Dave. haha. Oh well, I'm just glad Primo is a good enough shop to notice something like that, and fix it for me ;)

(In for N00b jokes)

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Vacuum lines need to be hooked up, all the connectors need to be plugged in, coolant needs to be added, and a vacuum distributor needs to be made and hooked up. Check base timing too.

Add the ECU, turn the key, and hope for the best!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Its ok GH, you E-thug up enough to protect your noobness.
So are you gonna run the evo against this thing?

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Two nice cars and no Lesbaru in sight. Can you handle it? :)

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

haha, pretty sure this thing would eat the Evo alive once it's on the road.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

I couldn't think of anything to burn you with on the noob thing, I'm too pumped to see this thing on the road that I'm actually fist pumping right now.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

:lol: I'm sure it will come to you sooner or later. I figured others have made worse mistakes, so admitting this wouldn't be the end of the world.

FUCKING EMBED WON'T WORK, MATT, HUGHES, SCHEIDES, SOMEONE HELP HERE PLZ. :)

Lots of small problems after getting it initially started, tons of boost leaks from everywhere but it can run under its own power now!

Maybe Mike, Jesse, or one of the Chang's could chime in about the little issues it had.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

IDK if I have photobucket embedding setup, see the vbcodes section under help or the thread on embedding video in the site news section :)


Good god it looks great!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Yea, I followed the directions, still wouldn't work. Hey Chang, put the video on youtube if you see this. :D

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Cause I'm bored and style is dead as shit today, here's some pics:

Not a super "clean" engine bay, but I wasn't really going for the clean look, just function. nothing against wire tucks and stuff, but I would never want to take off a fender just to swap out a fuse. I'll tell ya one thing, it sure is easier to work on now without A/C, relocated coil pack, no power steering cooler, no ABS, etc.

My car on the left, Swifty's on the right:

I drove it for the first time in forever last weekend for a little shakedown action, found a few problems, then ran out of time to fix them, so Mike and Jesse handled it during the week. Looks like I'll be picking the car up tomorrow and putting some break in miles on her this weekend between killing deer. :)

Probably do some more vacuum pulls on back roads before I head back to Isanti for the weekend. I plan on doing about 20-25 miles of vacuum pulls, then about 75-100 more miles of easy driving until I change the oil. After that I think I will do about another 375-400 miles for a total off 500 miles until I get tuned. This may take a little while with deer hunting in only 2 days and a wake up, and the car staying in Isanti while I live in St. Cloud. Either way, I'll get her done before snow flies :D

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

very niiiiiiiice goodhart!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Awesome!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Congrats d00d!

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Nice 1 the car looks good!I could drive it around to break it (in) since I only live about 10 mins away ;) haha

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Yep, his car is done as it sits, need to be broken in! I had fun washing off maybe a year of crusted on dirt and grime yesterday.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Very nice, I'll drive it around for you, I like driving.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Well, Friday night when I attempted to pick it up, I thought I had fried the transfer case. I had it towed back to Primo because that was my only option at 11:30 Friday night. Today they looked into it, I had already sourced a new transfer case over the weekend, I figured bingo bango put in new t-case, and be done. WRONG. It ended up being the transmission. Mike pulled the drain plug and very little fluid came out.

It developed a leak somewhere while I was doing vacuum pulls on the way back, it still shifted just fine, but it started to howl leading me to think it was the transfer case. I pulled over into a gas station as soon as I heard the noise, and by that time apparently the fluid was almost all gone. Mike said when he pulled the drain plug, it had a burnt smell and there was a thin coating of fluid all over the bottom of the car. Makes me wish I would have picked it up in the daylight so I could have possibly seen this, Primo is currently trying to figure out where exactly it leaked from to see where I should go from here as far as the warranty from TRE. Once we know where/what it leaking from, I will contact TRE and go from there.


This was the last straw for me, I am done with DSM's. I will be parting this thing out. PM me if you want any parts.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Fiix it again! Sorry to hear buddy :(

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Sorry if this disappoints anyone, but I've just been through way too much with this car. I had to pull the plug at some point, and it should have been long ago. This should give me a few bucks to put a couple more parts on the Evo though!! I plan on keeping the injectors for now, the AEM wideband/boost gauges, and one of the 3 Walbro's I have as long as its the right one.

Edit: looks like it isn't, 1g's use the GSS341, Evo's/2g's use the GSS342. Not sure what the difference is...

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Difference is probably the install kit, and possibly the location of the outlet. If you are going to do a dual setup worm clamp style, you could probably still use them.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Tis the season for parting out 1G's though, good luck and lemme know if you need a hand ripping it apart at all.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

^^ Will do, I'll be dealing with it and hauling it back from Primo after deer hunting more than likely, if there is interest in the car as a whole or parts, people can just get them right from Primo. Weekend after deer hunting, I'll be figuring out how to get it back, and then the part-out will start. :)

Just remembered I bought that small battery kit from you too, so I'll more than likely be keeping the small battery as well. :)

Looks like as of right now, I'll be keeping the following for the Evo:

FIC BluMax 1350's (might trade them in for something smaller too, as I plan on keeping the stock turbo for a while yet)
possibly a Walbro 255
AEM Wideband and Boost Gauges
Small battery (will need to buy tray)

Now I am REALLY leaning towards parting this car out.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi
 

Ohh man sorry to hear about the tranny. You should finish the car.
