Re: My Talon
I picked up my TurboX coated parts from Bob at Map today. I went over to the car and put some of it on. I realized I'm gonna have to cut a lot more off my downpipe than I thought, and I need to chop part of my compressor cover outlet off and weld on a 90 elbow.
The drain is gonna be kinda funky. I might need two 45 degree -10 fittings to get it to work right.
I also need some more 02 housing bolts, I should most likely order new turbo bolts and lock washers from mitsu.
I have to fab up my 4" intake, v band downpipe, a oil drain, install cams and new OFH and oil cooler, and set up Link!

Re: My Talon
I just finished polishing my compressor cover, for my first time polishing, and how lazy I was, it turned out pretty good. LOL those aren't my candles either.
I also got my lower intercooler pipe set up for the Holset, and re powdercoated at Primo.
Should be getting my pushlock drain tube any day (I hope!)
And so I just need to spend some time with the car and get it all buttoned up!

Re: My Talon
Cams are in. Just need my oil drain so I can spend the 30 mins bolting the turbo and o2 up.
Chop flange off downpipe, TIG vband on, thats pretty much it.

Re: My Talon
Ok, so whenever the hell it warms up a bit, (tomorrow/sunday) I'm gonna go put my o2 housing/wastegate on, and hopefully start my downpipe modding. I also need to tighten a few fittings on my oil filter housing. Pics soon.

Re: My Talon
Rad in, drain tube made, downpipe is hopefully gonna be welded today. Just need to hook up a gauge, clutch wire and maybe wideband for Link, and setup Link. Ooo and drain my tank lol.

Re: My Talon
Do you run the stock turbo water pipe? If so, did you run into any issues with the compressor cover hitting the little water pipe nub on the bottom of it (the nub that isn't on the N/T ones)?

I swapped to a 90 N/T thermostat housing and 90 N/T waterpipe (I added an external oil cooler). I had to dent the water pipe a little to clear the compressor cover, but it was just a little bit.

Hahaha, stock 6 bolt Well, it's fresh stock rebuild by me. It has like 15k miles on it so far. ACL Race bearings, ARP headstuds, Copper-sprayed mitsu gasket, fresh head, balance shafts eliminated.
If/when this engine blows up, a mild 2.4L will be tossed in.

A big fat NO. I'm sure it will be fine, not perfect, but fine.
My mini-laptop should be here tomorrow so I can start linking it up! But this shit weather might hold me up till next weekend.
Some newer pics below. I'll get better ones once the car moves.

Re: My Talon
I have two solid lifters, I will be degreeing my BC 280's. Do you have adjustable cam gears? I think we should spend a day degreeing them if you do, although I think it would be alot harder with the motor in the car.
