1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

So I have a 1G Talon with a 4G63T mostly stock........ for now.
I'm considering a few mods but I still drive it everyday so it can't sit for more than a day.
I know there are "free" mods that can be done but I don't really understand them or what to do. I'll post pics once I get out of the Noob stage and figure out how to post them.

Current mods are only 6k HID lows and 10K hid Highs, no muffler, boost and oil pressure gauges in a pillar pod.

Could the mod delete the post above this one. My post

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Do you know how to do the free mods that everyone keeps telling me about? and would you be interested in a meet in montgomery sometime?

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Check out the stage 0 and it gives you a list of the free mods.

Good luck on the modding!

Yeah but they don't explain a few of the things like the BCS? and there are only certain things I want to do like increase boost pressure till I get a real boost controler and get some better air flow

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

VFAQ is another good resource for people new to DSM's. http://www.vfaq.com

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

A lot of the free mods have been done my hundreds of DSMers. If you are creative about your searches on dsmtuners you can find some pretty good info without having to read pages and pages, especially on the free mods.

When you want to insert a picture, don't bother with the HTML tag crap. All you have to do is right click on it and select 'Copy Image Location'. Then once you start a new post, click the little mountain button above and paste it in there.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

alright thank you so much. More pics coming tonight after work. I'm gonna be in Blaine getting some parts from a friend.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

if i doesnt have exhaust yet i would recommend keeping the stock catback, but a nice o2 housing and a 3inch down pipe, then weld on a electric cut out on to the downpipe befor the cat, so when you want good performance or a nice grumblely whistle you can flip a switch and when you want it quite flip it again and its stock exhaust =) thats what i got and i love it

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

How much does the cutout affect AFRs?

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Nice maroon 1gb, I've had 2 of them. Take it slow with mods. Read lots about taking it one step at a time.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Yeah I like her, only one spot of rust on the drivers rear quarter. I don't have a muffler on it just the cat with a 3" pipe all the way back to my tip. I'm trying to keep the sound low and not all ricey. Although I found out the other night that my exhaust gaskets leak by the turbo so I'll have to replace them. also I'm getting some kind of rattle by the engine at around 2900 rpm.

Anyone in the Montgomery area up for a mini gathering sometime this week let me know. I'd love to meet some of you guys. get some better ideas than what I have in my head.

And sorry about the infrequent capitals, shift key sticks really bad at work.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Does anyone know a place in town that sells Manuel Boost Controlers? I think my BCS crapped out on me it lets air pass all the time. Also i was told that the turbo on my car is not the factory one. I have the TD05, my car is a 5-speed. New pics tomorrow after I wash the car.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

post up a picture of the numbers on the casting of the compressor cover (intake side of turbo) and we can more than likely tell you what it is.

DB sells MBC's for like $35. Cheap and they work great.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Well I have bad news. Looks like my stock exhaust manifold is starting to crack. so I guess I'm gonna start to look for a tubular Header for it. does anyone know if I can remove the ABS without causing a ton of issues? I want a set of hard pipes but all the kits I've found are for the cars without ABS.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Get one of those aftermarket cast iron manifolds if you are looking to daily drive it. It will be more than enough for what you want, plus it's indestructable.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Unless you're planning on spending good money on a manifold (which honestly wouldn't do a whole hell of a lot seeing as your car is stock) don't bother with a tubular. Find a 2g manifold or the FP Race mani. Both are cast, durable, and won't cause any issues.


if you are deleting the ABS, you will either need the lines from a non-ABS equipped car (what I did, the easiest if you can find some) or bend your own lines, and get a non-ABS proportioning valve. I believe there is a total of 4 lines you need to replace, then you can throw away your giant octopus of an ABS module.

here is the turbo pic. I think it's a 16G after doing some reserch but I'm not sure it that's stock or not

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

On a side note I think I'm mildly retarded. I've tried everyway I can think of to post my pics from flickr to this forum and nothing works. is there something I'm doing wrong?

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Ok time for an update....

I fixed my boost drop issue, the BCS stuck open so my wastegate was open most of the time. Wrote my to-do list last night, it's gonna be spendy but then again what DSM isn't. Made friends with a kid in my town that has a Black 95 GST. Still waiting on an answer as to what turbo I have, no one seems to know.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

You should stop by my place on Sunday man. I can take a look at it. Or if you take off the intake tube and get a good shot of the compressor wheel we can tell you more.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Well my boost leak is fixed. I really need to get an MBC I'm not happy with the 12psi I'm putting out. but soon the major upgrades are gonna start just came across a friend who has a 4g63t sitting in his garage that I'm going to tear down and build up. I'll post more after work

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Well Picked up a set of GSX rims the other day, I'm gonna polish them and paint them before mounting them on the car. so if someone is looking for a set of stock Talon rims let me know. once I swap my tires on to these new rims I'm going to be looking to off load them.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

ok so I went and got a TD05 16G last week, and installed it. WOW! the car has more go and I love it. I'm still looking into changing my ABS out for a non ABS setup.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

DO IT! Gives you so much room. I did the swap overnight. The only issue i had was fishing the brake lines back through the holes in the frame and getting the fittings to thread into the proportioning valve and master cylinder. I had to be really carefull since they strip easily! Once you get that figured its a cake walk really.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Fyi, if you want to do it the factory way, Mitsubishi does no sell two of the 4 or 5 lines you need to remove the ABS. I just went to a junk yard and got them ;) or you can make your own.


I'm slightly jealous of your car... :( I had a one just like it!

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

well it might end up for sale soon. I found my next project and this one is starting to cost a lot to build up

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
 

Well it's for sale now. I just bought a 300M and don't have space for the Talon anymore. $1400 or Best Offer.
