This is the Build Thread for 1995 Eagle Talon Tsi. Reply below.

Having some issues with boost taper as well as I have melted 3 AC fans even without running the AC. The car runs good otherwise, however I have recently run into issues with melting the fans. I recently purchased a PTP turbo blanket and sock for the FP manifold. Current setup is a ETS FMIC...

Just wanting to verify before I tell the dealership to go ahead with the order, can anyone verify the part numbers for the JDM Galant knuckles used for the Brembo Evo Swap? I have part numbers MR369425 and MR369426 which seem to be superseded by MR223628 and MR223629. I just want to be sure as...

Just seeing who all is around and willing to go to the next Cars and Coffee in Greenville SC next month? I've been the last two and only noticed 1 evo and 2 2gs!

The issue I'm having is that I am not getting an cranking RPM in Tunerstudio. I have ran a composite log and I can see that the MS3x unit is seeing the signal but during a data log it never goes into cranking. I will then get a blip of RPMs after I let off the starter for a brief second then...

If anyone knows where I can get an FP Keep Calm and FXXK SXXT Up T-Shirt please let me know, they where sold out by the time I could get to them!:rocks:

So I just wanted to post this up to make sure I'm not missing anything that way I can make one order and not be waiting on overnight parts from Japan....anywho, this is what I'm thinkingI will be running -8 hard aluminum line for the feed and return, I will be using tube nuts and sleeves to...

I have a 2gb eclipse and I have since converted the front and rear to a 2gb talon as well as the 2ga talon sideskirts. The final thing I'm trying to add is the 2gb talon "strakes" but before I go drilling holes in the car I want to see if anyone out there can help me out with the measurements...

To start off with, my name is Zac and this is my Project Alice. I'll try and update as much as possible and post back what photo's I still have of the car and the stages its progressed through. My laptop got stolen about 2 years ago so I lost a LOT of old photos but we'll make do. This will...

From what I have searched the 95-96 rear diffs have the same ratio as the 1g rear diffs. I picked up a rearend out of a 1995 TSI AWD and was wanting to use the limited slip diff out of it. Can I use 4 bolt 1g axels and cups in the 2g diff on a 1991 TSI AWD?

Like the title says, if anyone is interested in a dyno day in the upstate or surround area of South Carolina then let me know and I will talk to the shop and see what kind of rates he can give us depending on how many people commit. PS: Its a FWD/RWD dyno, no AWD.

I have had some problems with spiking at idle with my msns lately so I double checked the VR circuit and guess what, it was using OPTO instead of VR. So I did some board mods and started using the VR circuit. Well I let it idle and idle and idle and never got a spike so on my way home I did...

I just thought I would show everyone what I got today! Its for my 91 TSI AWD, so hopefully it will be running before too much longer! Let me know what you think! Its a 100mm crank, eagle h beams, and a .020 overbore 9.1 compression wiseco pistons. 2.3L baby! It came with King bearings are...

I am in the process of putting a 14b on a friends GST and I can't seem to get the flanges on the return line to meet up to the turbo. I know that I have to file down some of the flange but this is a early 14b with the bolts closer together on the return. I am going to try taking the return...

I finally got my head back from the shop and now I can't wait to put it on! I got the PEP +1mm, New Valve guides, valve locks, Crower Springs and Titanium retainers, 3 angle comp. valve job, and cleaned and decked it! What does every one think? He charged me 275 to install it all and do the...

I bought a used SFMU and all it came with was the 2.72 disk and 4an line attached. I bought a calibration kit and bleed valve from Vortech but I can't seem to get the bleed valve to screw all the way in? HELP please! Here are pics...

This is just a couple of pics that I have taken from building my engine. Its a 95 block .020 over with Clevite 77 Mains, Wiseco 8.8 pistons, Eagle H rods, Wiseco rings gapped to .008(I think, can't remember off top of my head. I have it written down at work). I torqued the inside mains to 55...

I am almost through with gathering parts for my turbo conversion but I am not sure which gauges to get to keep cost at a min. I know that fuel pressure is very important and EGT's are nice to have. What gauges to I have to have to go turbo. Boost and what...? I have been thinking about not...

Just showing some pictures of the manifold and oil pan. The oil pan is done except for painting, the manifold still has to have the collector welded on. I wanted to wait on that to get the exact placement where I want it to be. Tell me what you think about the welds, best pics I had (they...

Just some photos of an install. Not really in depth but it was with my phone and only a couple of pics.

I am about to purchase a used 14b but the guy that I may be getting it from said that it is in running condition but the seals may need to be replaced. Is it worth buying and just changing the seals or could there be other matters that I need to look at because of the seals needing to be replaced?

Just like the title says, I posted the other day about my voltage light being on so I took it to Advanced Autoparts and got them to check my battery and alternator. Both of them are good but the light still comes on sometimes and others it doesn't. The only other thing that I can think of is a...

I was on my way to school this morning and as I was getting on the highway my voltage light came on. I don't have a system drawing alot of power but I do have a aftermarket cd player, boost gauge, safc II, walbro 255. I have a afx udp and a crappy advanced battery. Do you think that it could...

Just thought I would let everyone know I finaly got some pics in my gallery so check them out and let me know what you think!

I was just looking at how nice the Zeitronix system is and I got to thinking... do I really need a seperate boost, egt, and wideband or do I want to have all of that plus logging capabilties in one system? I think that it would be cheaper to get the Zeitronix in the long run but that means that...

I won an xbox 360 at work. At fist I was like hell yeah, thats awesome. Now I am like, man I wish I had time to play that thing. I am a full time student and work part time putting in on average 32 hours a week. I was debating on selling it or not. I want to keep it but I need money for my...

Ok so I had a bad day yesterday. I get almost home and I look down and my temp. gauge is pegged out on hot. :notgood: So I pull over in a parking lot and shut it down and pop the hood. After letting it cool down for little bit I check the oil, its fine, the the coolant, its full. I was...

I am in the process of turboing my rs and now I have a bad rear o2 sensor. I think that I have a short in it because sometimes the cel comes on and sometimes is doesn't, so I was thinking instead of buying one for 100 bucks I thought about maybe just splicing the wire and soldering it to the o2...

I have a 98 rs and I am about to turbo it. Well wouldn't you know when I get enough money to buy some turbo parts my clutch decides it wants to start slipping. :notgood: Well I called the dealership and the clutch kit from them is $475. Ouch! Well I was looking at getting a stage 2 spec that...

How many people on here have thought about starting a shop or have already started one? Just wondering.

This is a noob question but I am not sure and I want to be sure before I go and do something stupid. Is a 14b interanly gated or externaly? I just want to be sure. I think that it is internaly but I can get things confused sometimes. Sorry for the question but I just want to be sure.

Just had a quick question on these turbo's. Is XS Power a reliable turbo company? I am only looking to run around 8lbs of boost and I want something that will spool really fast so I am only looking for something small, I was thinking a T25 or 16g? what do you think?

I know that there are many companies that sell intercooler piping kits for the 4g63t but I can not find a site on where I can get good piping for a rs/gs. Where do you guys/girls recomend that I should get my piping? Not looking to spend too much, just doing a custom kit instead of getting a...

I know that gas mileage will fall dramaticly when you put forced induction on a car but right now I can get about 400 miles to a tank of gas on my rs. I was just wondering what the mileage would be like on turboed rs or gs. How much does the mileage suffer?

Before anybody reads this I have searched some and could not find an answer, but I am wanting to know what the best bov would be for low boost like 5 to 8 lbs. Please let me know. Also where is the best place to buy an sfmu?

I just called HRC and talked to a guy, Brad, and he said that it IS safe to run boost in the 10-12 lbs on stock internals with their fuel system reliably. I know a number of people here say that it to keep it as a dd, that they only run around 5 lbs of boost. What's the deal?

I was sitting in chem 201 today and I was thinking about Boyle's gas law, I think that's the one where gas speeds up when trying to move through a smaller space? Well what if there was a down pipe that had a small insert in the pipe right after the turbo, kind of like a silencer on an exhaust...

I am looking at doing a number of things to my car with in the next 2 years. The first thing that I want to do is get a stage II kit from Hahn with the side mount ic and all extras that are needed. I just wanted to ask if these prices sound about right to you or are they a little high...

What do you guys and girls think about the color carbon/kevlar hoods. I have a silver 98 and I as thinking about getting a silver OEM style hood. What do you think?

Ok I was not real sure where to put this but I am going to just post it here and if it is not the right spot then somebody can move it. I have been very busy here lately with college and job, 17 credits this semester with 35 hour work weeks. Well since I have been so busy I have not had time...

I know that alot of people are happy with their turboed 420a's and that is why I am looking at turboing mine. My only problem is that I need mine as a daily driver to school and work and I just wanted to know how often does something need to be fixed on a turboed 420a? I am only looking to...

Not sure if this is the right area to post it so if its not sorry. I have a 1998 eclipse rs and I have the basic bolt-on's for it i/h/e and and afx underdrive pulley. I am going to college and I have to commute back and forth from home to school to work back to home and it takes me about 30 min...

Here is the deal. I have been doing some research on nitrous and checking out the forums with others personal experiences and I have come to the conclusion that nitrous is safe on an engine if you are not stupid with it. I have found a ZEX wet kit for sale for 499.99 from a reputable company...

I am replacing my timing belt soon and I need to know where I can get a timing belt pulley and and idler pulley cheap. I have heard that it is a good idea to replace these when doing timing belt because, correct me if I am wrong, but it makes it easier to knock the belts off/ more prone to come...

I have gotten my numbers now and I am just about ready to go turbo (hopefully in 3 weeks) but the are 200,185,195,195. How do these numbers stack up against being able to handle boost well?

Hey everybody I have a 98 n/t with a couple of mods to it, V2 intake and 4-1 header and down pipe but i soon realized that it would be way to much money to make an all motor fast, so I am going to go turbo. I am about to do a compression test and I am wondering what is a good number to go turbo...
