Thanks guys those are both really helpful posts. I'll give that number a call tomorrow!

Hi guys, I am totally confused right now. I have had two very good companies (one I know you all would know, and the other most would probably know) look at my car to tune it, and have given me very different answers. Also my tranny which was just recently rebuilt is acting very funny and...

o really? ok see I didn't think that would make a difference. I thought the weight of the car would still be enough to lower the one spring so I could get an idea of what it would look like before we did the other 3. ok I guess we'll put the rest on tomorrow then.. thanks..

I just got a set of the S. Techs and we just put one of them on the car. It is definetly installed right we've gone over it a number of times now. Now can anyone tell me any reason as to why it's sitting at stock height still... actually, possibly a quarter inch higher! I'm so confused and...

hey guys I don't mean to steal this thread at all but I just wanna get one thing straight.. because if there's one thing I've learned since I got this car it's to just save up and do it right the first time (def learned my lesson on that one; over and over again lol)I'm saving up and...

when I was in 8th grade I used to jog past this black 2g talon.. a 97 or a 98.. and every time I jogged by I'd stop and look at it.. and ever since then I've been obsessed... it was the only car I ever wanted. I started doin research and talkin to kids all the time to find out what the best...

that looks beautiful.. especially with that lip :thumb:wish mine was clean looking like that :cry: I've put that car through a lot lol*Brit

ya if I was to get the MAF-T it would've been primarily for venting purposes as stapl3 said lol. Also because I heard its suppose to help with a little quicker spooling.. didn't even think about using it for tuning lol :)*Brit

wow you guys kinda harsh! lola retarded 4 year old rampridersrider?! geez lol..ya Marsa I've looked up all that stuff and ultimatlely from what most of everybody has said the next best thing to DSMlink with the 660's would be the safc with a logger and then that burned chip. And since...

the safc's on but hasn't even started being tuned yet cuz I'm waiting for the kid with the wideband o2 to get that to me.. it looks confusing though so that should be fun lol. As soon as I'm not so broke anymore I plan on getting the eprom and that chip, and I'll get to changing that spring...

ok.. so the main problem was the wastegate, well not actually the wastegate but the boost controller.. dont laugh but it was SUCH a stupid easy fix. One of the hoses on the BC just needed to be moved from one opening (usually open) to the other opening (usually shut) so now that should be fine...

Thanks guys.. um I had an aeromotive fpr.. actually I still have it.. because I did research on all that and saw everyone said bad things about the B&M, however I have quite a few friends around here running the B&M with no problems and my dad was convinced it would do fine.. plus it was a much...

hey guys, to start off, I did to some searching, but cant find much at all specifically for my car and prob.. and I'm in a rush!ok.. starting off with the turbo and supporting modsgarrett t3/t4 50 trim tial 38mm external wastegate tubular o2 housing front mount w/ short route piping...

Thank you sooo much flinguist that'll probably be the one I go with. I've searched all night and that's the only one I've found (and I didn't even find it lol)and about the fans.. can I just go with the slimline on the a/c compresser side? or would that just be stupid?*Brit

i already have the turbo actually... it's a t3/t4 50 trim. It is 5 bolts made for an external wastegate. So I should just call a shop then? And one more question I just came across another problem a second ago while working on the car. The stainless header I got to fit the t3/t4 is too...

could anyone tell me where to get a different o2 housing?! because I'm going crazy I've been searching all day lol. I have a t3/t4 with the different square inlet and it also has a different o2 housing exhaust flange... pleeease help! :mad: I'm sorry if I like stole your thread I just saw this...

oook thanks a lot for the help.. now I see I def. won't have my car ready for the races in october :( but that's ok.. there's always next year lol*Brit

650 cc?! lol geez wasn't expecting that one but ok I'll make that this weekend.. data logger yes.. just talked to a friend a few days ago about getting his.. I won't have it for awhile tho because the loss of your license= lots of time to work on the car= lots of time to buy the parts :) lol and...

hey I know this thread is pretty old now but I was doing some searching about external wastegates and this is what I found. The first question I had, this already answered (about the spring pressure). I was wondering tho about which external wastegate would be best also. I have a t3/t4 50...

keeping the talon.. hopefully for a looong time.. would kill for a supra, turbo of course.. RX-8 for my family car ;) I'll have all three of these cars at once too one day.. you'll see ;)*Brittney

Thanks Andy I'll def. regap them AGAIN.. I had them gapped at .50 cuz the stupid advanced auto guy said to and I just regapped them to .35 last week.. but I'll change it again lol. I understood the concept with the fuel pressure and all that good stuff, but you cleared it up a bit :thumb...

waredtalon- yes I was powerbreaking the car.. not too long tho I know it's bad for the tranny.. and my plugs are gapped at .35.. is that too large?andymoraitis- yea I knew a little about that but my dad bought it for me at Buschur a few weeks ago along with some other stuff in attempt to...

not to go back to me i just posted earlier id post my times from tonight... I ran a 14.9.. not thrilled but def. better than a 16.26... umm it took 20 psi to get that 14.9 tho so obviously i do still have a prob. somewhere.. we're thinking boost test (still haven't done haha) and relocating my...

For some reason the guys I go for always end up having a DSM.. or atleast a nice car (shallow? maybe a little... lol) The guy I'm talking to now has an '95 eclipse gst :) I don't try to look for someone with a DSM.. I'm just drawn to them lol.. not to mention it always helps to have someone...

maybe some lil jon? that's what I listened to last time at the track :D then again i ran a horrible time.. :mad:*Brittney

lol ya i'm verry happy about it :) i'll have new times tomorrow (hopefully better!) ;) I have noo idea what it's at right now ... I was supposed to get the car dynoed sunday but that didn't work out.. I'll get to it eventually lol*Brittney

Just got back from a day of tuning and looking over the car. There was a boost leak right off of the turbo.. some open T in an actuator line or something? Well anyways, capped that line off and now it's boosting up to 19.6, well that's all I've done. Obviously I won't be pushing that really...

Ya.. plus not to mention like I said I was runnin a 15.45 5 days ago lol (which I still wasn't pleased with :( ). Mitz, my car was the burgundy '97 Talon... the one in desperate need of a paint job with a primered spoiler and black fender lol. I saw your car.. didn't see it run though, it was...

This was my first drag race also.. I have a '97 TSi FWD, automatic too.... I was powerbreaking the hell outta that car tho (new tranny.. no worries) trying to build boost. My little jr. dragster friend was the one running my car last wed lol.

OMG MitzMadness I feel your pain!!! I was up there too today for high school nationals. I have no idea what's going on with my car. I've put a nice amount of money into it.. and finally got the gauges and boost controller on for the race. Anyways here's the weird part.. last wednesday i ran a...

drove a DSM before my DSM :) lol had a 95 TSi.. now a 97 TSi..

^^ agreed :) ^^

I've got 81k on my 97 TSi

Hey.. i'm not going to be able to make it either :( Didn't realize it was already this weekend and I gotta work.. can't find any replacements this short of notice (we lack waitresses right now lol) Sorry..*Brittney

hahah nooo I'm pretty sure my mom wouldn't be too thrilled about that :coy: .. unless you want to sleep in the garage or something :pask BGRIPTP... I bet he has plenty of room for everyone lol ;)*Brittney

I'll def. be there. I feel so lucky to live like 35 minutes from Norwalk lol :thumb: ROFL*Brittney

Looks good :thumb: and I LOVE the rims.. they are EXACTLY what i want but cant afford.. I'm jealous lol :)*Brittney

ahhh i agree pr0... OMG especially around here... Everyone talks so much damn shit about it.. and as soon as they find out my car's an auto it's suddenly a piece, and I'm like WTF .I know a manual's soo much more fun to drive and is a little bit faster, but after my shift kit and some other good...

I almost always tip, usually even overtip. The only way I don't is if the waitor/waitress reeeally SUCKS.. i mean if you look over and see them sitting down talking to their freinds while you're waiting for a refill and then they completely mess up your order.. that kinda stuff. I'm a...

well you made out.. I never find deals like that :mad: lol well congrats :)*Brittney

I don't care if it looks like an old sneaker w/o the basket handle or w/e Defiant said.. I still like it :) Not that my or anyone else's opinions on here matter as long as you like it ;)*Brittney

I got my first '95 Eagle Talon TSi less than 5 miles down the road.. may it RIP. About a month after buying that perfect dsm I totaled it :cry: Anyways I HAD to get another one.. and I needed one with low miles around 60 k.. so long story shortFlew to Atlanta Georgia from Cleveland Ohio and...

I was there.. it was pretty sweet.. I was embarrassed of my car though as soon as I pulled into that parking lot :( lol When that 1g caught on fire though it was soo sad. And it just kept burning...*Brittney

lol so I guess all we need now is someone to set something up huh?*Brittney

Heyy guys.. I'm in Elyria.. when and where are we all going to meet up :D*Brittney

That makes sense.. I'll try to find that vfaq right now. I guess I'm going to try those suggestions because they do make sense and pray that it will fix the problem. Thanks a lot for your help :) ! Anything else anyone can think of feel free to offer ;) , and I'll post how it turns out...

Ohhh I was def. up at the track when that happened. Saddest thing ever I felt sooooo bad for the guy. I felt even worse for the car though lol. We had just walked onto the stands just in time to see it launch and then go into flames :(

Actually... here's the story on the Venom 400.It was installed and ON about 6 months ago now. Took it for a drive, it was sweeet.. chirpin tires, you could really feel a power increase. Well it had to be turned off cause at the time my tranny was bad and we didn't wanna do anything to make...

You know I'm not too sure if the chip changes the shift points. I don't remember ever reading anything about that, and I've read a lot, so I'm leaning towards no but once I get ahold of the manual again I'll take a closer look at that. My biggest concern with all this that I don't understand...
