[talontsi222]

$2,500 NO strut tower rust either :)

[98GS]

$2,500 NO strut tower rust either :)

not a bad pickup, the 215k miles is a little scary though

[Spoolin95DSM]

Thats scary. Same exact thing I did.

[talontsi222]

not a bad pickup, the 215k miles is a little scary though
Heh doesnt really bother or scare me.. Personally i love high mileage cars, because they are well taken care of to get to the miles they are at.

The plan is to drop in a mildly built 6 bolt anyways this winter. ;)

[talontsi222]

here's the awd as it sits right now. Im building a 6 bolt for it.

[TSI27]

Where the hell did you find that sexy car for 2,500?!?! lol I live in Dearborn, MI and have been searching all of Michigan for a cheap AWD DSM but all of them were over $5,000. Where did you look lol? Props on the nice catch ;).

[Jiu Jitsu Joe]

Do u want another?

[talontsi222]

I'm good with 2 thank you.

[Spoolin95DSM]

Awesome progress so far. I'm enjoying this thread!
Smart move numbering all those wires. I was thinking about relocating my fuse box to the glove box while installing my 2.4 also, I'm just scared shitless to cut all those wires.

[talontsi222]

Yes, I was scared shitless too when I first opened up the wire loom to see what kind of project it was going to be.

I just figured if I took my time, labeled everything properly, I wouldn't have a problem.

[Ken81590]

great work, on all of them, amazing

[dreaminskyline]

I WANT AN UPDATE!!! haha.

[b00stedtalon2]

Hahaha okay okay!

I've been pretty busy with school and such but my FWD threw a few bearings so I tossed a 6 bolt in that so I had to put a hold on the AWD. The FMIC is now on the fwd and the AWD is getting a slowboyracing fmic kit.

I installed some tokico hp's on the car with eibach sportlines and picked up some evo 8 rims for it.

Motor is pretty much done. About to order my garrett gt35r pretty soon with top mount manifold.
http://i18.tinypic.com/4q4nuh0.jpg

The car is getting caged pretty soon by Shearer Fabrications.

Also picked up a 97 talon bumper that will be cut pretty high for the slowboyracing core.
http://i8.tinypic.com/4yzn249.jpg

[303]

Where did you find your bumper?

[totaleclipse_05]

I had the same suspension setup as you did, but I went with Pro-Kits a couple years later. Wish I would have done it earlier.

Pro-Kits > Sportlines

Good luck with your car :)

[b00stedtalon2]

I found the bumper of a local.

And why did you switch with the pro-kit springs? Ive rocked sportlines for 3 years on my 95 tsi fwd and I still love them.

[RedTurboEclipse]

Because sportlines make the car ridiculously low, gives you horrible negative camber, and you will have to drive slow and sideways with every little bump on the road.

I would have gotten better struts, tokico illuminas, koni yellows, or kyb agxs. I have those same tokico hps with progress springs 1.7" drop, and I'm still not satisfied, well even more so when you ride in a DSM with any of the shocks I mentioned above. I will upgrade eventually.

Other than that, project is looking good, keep us updated with the pics.

Also where does all the wire run through when you relocate the fuse box? Do you just extend it and pass it through that huge grommet on the passenger side and tape/insulate/protect it and connect it back to wherever you mount the fuse box?

[GloriousDSM]

What do you charge for Fuse box relocation ?

[pinder91]

Don't hack the bumper, Scotty!

[totaleclipse_05]

I found the bumper of a local.



And why did you switch with the pro-kit springs? Ive rocked sportlines for 3 years on my 95 tsi fwd and I still love them.



I wanted something stiffer and something that I could actually say improved on the handling. Pro-Kits produce basically no body-roll when taking really sharp turns going fast and I love them. Even though my car looked a little better on the Sportlines, I'm willing to sacrifice looks for better performance. It also feels like I'm driving on the road and not floating over stuff.

[b00stedtalon2]

Sorry but I am never doing a fuse box relocation again. It's way too much work. :o

Oh I see. The car isn't going to be an autocross car or anything. Just a drag car. I couldn't care less how the cars handles at high speed sharp turns.

I have one of those corbeau forza seats in red sitting in my garage. Most uncomfortable seat to get in and out of but its nice once your in. I picked mine up for $20.

[b00stedtalon2]

Who cares how uncomfortable it is getting in a seat lol. Although in my case it will be harder with the 8pt cage

[Ken81590]

Damn, I really like the color of the front bumper! Are you painting it green to keep it a twin though?

[b00stedtalon2]

yeah the bumper is getting painted green

[b00stedtalon2]

I tinted the windows 5% all around including windshield today

http://i8.tinypic.com/4t6krus.jpg

http://i16.tinypic.com/52q75f5.jpg

[matt j]

i love the tinted windshield, hides alot of stuff on the inside. I did the same thing on my old gst, 5% all around with 35% on the windshield.

[EASTcoastGST]

^How was the 35% at night? Im thinking about getting it done someday. Just dont know how dark to go.

[Jk's97DSM]

Isnt having your windshield tinted illegal where you live?

[Ken81590]

How do you expect to see out of it at night? lol

[b00stedtalon2]

Lol you can see out of it fine at night, its not that shitty meijer/murrays tint heh. Here's a better day time pic and I also dyed my dash and center console black

http://i12.tinypic.com/4tux6ht.jpg

http://i15.tinypic.com/4otmvc5.jpg

[b00stedtalon2]

I ordered some new shit. Should be here next week
-Tial 38mm wastegate
-Tial 50mm bov
-JMF race intake manifold
-1000cc injectors

Picked up a tranny
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_0384Medium.jpg

Made a headlight intake setup, i just need to put some weather stripping on the edges so it looks clean. The piping from the headlight will do a 90* turn than bolt right to my fp intake.
http://i12.tinypic.com/6cyxap2.jpg

The exhaust and wastegate dump will be going out the side of the bumper with the mitsu exhaust housing. Sooner or later I will be getting the gt35r mitsu bolt on so I can swap that right in.

[Ken81590]

Keep the pictures coming!!

[totaleclipse_05]

Looks great so far! Did you decide to go 2gB eclipse bumper instead of the 2gB talon bumper?

[b00stedtalon2]

yeah basically, i had the eclipse bumper off my old car that I sold so i just decided to use it...

Anyone want a 2gb talon bumper? :)

And I never did change it. I had make a new one because this site would not let me log onto talontsi222. I think they might have banned it for some odd reason.

[lg93awdgsxer]

Uh-oh.... Hope the mods dont investigate into that. Hahaha.

Was that a used clutch? Alot of work to go threw again.

[b00stedtalon2]

Heh, It's a 2900 with a pressure plate of 1,000 miles and a brand new disk. I think it'll be okay. :)

[BigBoostDSM]

Thanks!

If it was banned it would have a "." as the user title.

It's against our policy for members to have more than one screen name and I have banned people for it in the past. I'm in a really good mood today for some reason, so I'll let it slide.

[totaleclipse_05]

About the dash, did you just carpet over it or did you make like a new mold?

Was the headlight hard to mod?

hot glue, and then you need to buy some kind of weatherstripping so it looks clean. kinda like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/07%20dsm%20shootout/1137.jpg

I'm going to put a small screen in between the two pieces at the headlight for a filter, than just hunt down some type of weather stripping for the edge for the headlight lens.

[b00stedtalon2]

Got my Level Zero Motorsports FIAV block off plate today.

Very nice. Mine will look just like your FWD did before you started this project. Nice updates.

[shadow_FIX]

A+ work dude. I'm digging the carpeted dash.

[Jeff822]

Any more updates on this yet?

[b00stedtalon2]

I should have some updates soon of the interior. I'm going to pick up some type of black material for the carpet from a local fabric store than make the rest of the interior panels black.

Mainly I am just waiting for my megasquirt ecu to come in.

[JuanG]

I never even seen this build thread. Awesome work you're doing there.:cool: Keep it up.

[b00stedtalon2]

Thanks!

Today I decided to put a 1g wheel on it for three reasons a) It has no air bag, b) It's black, and 3) It looks nice.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_1490Medium.jpg

[URBANRCR]

looks great man keep up the good work!

[almostquick]

If you dont mind I would love to hear more about the dash. Process of how you made it, how you removed it from your mold, and roughly how much weight you saved from the stocker, along with how it is now attached?

[greengoblin]

The build looks good. Nice thread.

[DistortedGS]

Thats frikkin sweet. Now this is the exact reason why I want a second DSM to work on...

[totaleclipse_05]

Just noticed looking back at some pics, did you make some sort of a bracket or something for the bumper to prevent it from sagging around the headlight area? Some more info/pics would be awesome since I'm having the same problem. Also, any close up pics of your bumper around the grill area where you cut more towards the top?

[b00stedtalon2]

For the bumper sag mod, I just bolted some metal to where the bumper support goes and bent it up so when the bumper is installed, it rests on the metal brackets I made.

http://i7.tinypic.com/879low3.jpg

As for cutting the bumper, I just took a dremel and cut up about 2.5 inches from the top. I also cut off the bottom part about 2 inches so the fmic is more exposed and less hidden. Lastly, I cut the fog light areas all the way to the front so the piping is not hidden and the bumper could be put onto the car without any stress on the bumper.

Hmm. You know what? Thats not a bad idea. I should do that for mine. I hate the saggy bumper look it looks so,umm, ghay :P

[b00stedtalon2]

Yeah It works great. Makes the bumper pretty snug!

[b00stedtalon2]

How much is a MegaSquirt EMS?

[b00stedtalon2]

How much is a MegaSquirt EMS?
My order came to a total of $380 for the ecu, gm sensors, map sensor, and cords . The only catch is that you have to assemble the ecu yourself. You can buy a complete ECU for around $400 and thats without all the other stuff.

[turbo4g63t]

This is the first time i read through the whole thread...great build, i hope to see more of it in the future.

[b00stedtalon2]

Thanks, and there will be plenty more, especially next season when I will be making a real income and starting the 9 sec p-log :)

As for now, I'm still waiting for my EMS from the guy who is assembling it for me. Once I get that, i'll be updating this thread with first start, other misc videos :)

[IggyBcool]

Megasquirt has been a very popular solution for the 420a cars because it gives you so many options to tweak and tune and is very inexpensive compared to other standalone fuel systems out right now. Can't wait to see how it turns out for you b00sted :)

[MyBoostedGST]

Could you post more pics of the FWD car before you started the swap? I have green 95 and am debating whether to put my 2gb eclipse bumper on or keep my 2ga. Or PM if you dont want to clog up your thread. Thanks.

[b00stedtalon2]

Today I picked up some scrap SS 3" bends for the front bumper side exit exhaust from a local aircraft place. Just waiting for my o2 housing flange so we can fab it up.

[wishihadatalon]

Thanks, and there will be plenty more, especially next season when I will be making a real income and starting the 9 sec p-log :)

As for now, I'm still waiting for my EMS from the guy who is assembling it for me. Once I get that, i'll be updating this thread with first start, other misc videos :)
Is Matt doing it for you?

Megasquirt is the ish :)

[b00stedtalon2]

Is Matt doing it for you?

Megasquirt is the ish :)
Yeah he is. And thanks again for telling me about him. :)

[wishihadatalon]

Yeah he is. And thanks again for telling me about him. :)
No prob. He is the best m.s. person I personally know :) Let me know if you need any help, and I will do my best to help :banana:

[b00stedtalon2]

Awesome, thanks! I'm sure I'll have a few questions about it. I hope to see the colt at the shootout next year, we'll have a Megasquirt screw :cool:

[b00stedtalon2]

Just for fun, here's next seasons turbo which will be top-mouted with a shearer fab manifold :)

Holy Crap Batman!

What Volvo did that come off of, I used to have a 940 Turbo, I don't think it was that big...

[b00stedtalon2]

To be honest, I couldn't even tell you. All I know its off a fairly large diesel truck.

[totaleclipse_05]

Damn that's a big turbo haha, can't wait to see more progress.

[b00stedtalon2]

Heh still waiting for the ECU. but here's a small update:

I picked up some 300m coil on plugs. Just need to order the Jay Racing plate and that will be that.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_1601Medium.jpg

Here's the jay racing piece

Car really is done... Just waiting for my ECU to come in.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_1677Large.jpg

[totaleclipse_05]

Awesome! Get some video and pics up stat when it's done!

[b00stedtalon2]

For sure...

[TisforTurbo]

^^^^^^

He just said it is done you *&^* RS driver

thats a nice car man, do you still have snow to keep it in the garage there? hah i feel your pain.

Yep, we have lots of snow lol. Sucks but oh well. Thats what my WRX is for. :cool:

[chrish1440]

Very nice:cool:

Umm, he said he was waiting for the ECU to come in. Read the thread.

And I meant more pics of it when it's completely done and video of it started up, maybe a pull or something. Wow, read the thread before trying to put someone else down and end up looking like a dumbass yourself.

EDIT
Nice grammar in your post as well, how about you read the rules before posting next time.

[TisforTurbo]

I failed to use an apostrophe, that is grounds for a ban for sure...


Back on topic, b00sted, just curious as to why you're using a stock manifold, as apposed to an equal length tubular unit?

[b00stedtalon2]

Because a) I am a broke college student and b) The Slowboyracing manifold that is on there now will work just fine which I got a killer deal on.

Haha. Hell yeah man. Having to pay for school sucks when you want to have fun.

[Revolution]

Nice to see more 2G's!

[b00stedtalon2]

I don't know if i'm actually going to keep it all and paint it or just sell the stuff off. None of it is bolted on, just on to see how it looks.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_1738Medium.jpg

Should I do it or no?

[totaleclipse_05]

Keep it talon.

[TisforTurbo]

Just loose the wing and you're golden! I'm a huge fan of eclipse ass ends, I say keep it.

[b00stedtalon2]

To help the decision, I did a quick photoshop on it. Yeah I will probably leave it without the wing and most likely end up switching rear ends when I get bored every once in a while.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_1738Medium-1.jpg

[brokentsiowner]

I say keep it wingless with the eclipse bumper.

[b00stedtalon2]

I say keep it wingless with the eclipse bumper.
I agree; Mr. old owner of the car. :)

[TisforTurbo]

Do you have a set of rims, or are you keeping the stockers on?

[b00stedtalon2]

Yeah I have some Enkei RP02's for it that will be getting rubber in spring.

[b00stedtalon2]

Wingless: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/WinglessLarge.jpg

Is what I will be doing.

Anyways.. the car will be on the road next week hopefully.

[b00stedtalon2]

Anyways.. the car will be on the road next week hopefully. The exhaust would be done by now if Punishment racing would send me my o2 housing flange. I ordered it a week before Christmas and haven't received anything. I emailed them few times, but no reply. :chair:

[spoolin97TSiAWD]

Damn Scott, I like the Eclispe bumper/wingless combo! Get the bish startedddd

[TisforTurbo]

Wow that looks good. You're not driving it in the snow are you? That would be a crime.

[b00stedtalon2]

Wow that looks good. You're not driving it in the snow are you? That would be a crime.
Of course not. This car will never see snow or rain.

[b00stedtalon2]

I dyed the door panels black and other random misc panels.

[totaleclipse_05]

[BLKTurboTsi]

Very Nice Scott. Its coming along very very nicely I <3 2g's "_"

[b00stedtalon2]

Few small updates. started the exhaust mock up, will have a better updated pick of that with it going out the front bumper. It's a VERY tight fit with it being 3". also welded the IAT into the upper IC pipe.

Wow this build-up thread has been amazing what did you end up doing with the ps on your car? Did you switch to a manual rack or just remove the pump and loop the lines?

[spoolin97TSiAWD]

lookin good Scott, call me over for the start up!

[b00stedtalon2]

[Chicago_DSM]

This is one of my favorite 2g build's ever! There are a lot of unique parts and crazy fabrication, I love it.

Is the 20g just for break-in? I thought I remember you saying you are going Holset (?)

[b00stedtalon2]

Thanks dude. Yeah the Buschur 20g was just for break in purposes but than I ended up selling the Holset. I'll just be using the 20g for this season and see how fast I can go with that until next season when I do some kind of t4.

Look for updates this weekend, ECU and Roll cage should be here Thursday, should have a start-up video too as well.

[totaleclipse_05]

Looks good, can't wait to see a vid.

Did you chop your shifter down?

[Die-Civic-Die]

This build has been real good so far, but I'm still waiting on the ECU updates, testing and reveiw.

[b00stedtalon2]

Yeah I cut the b&m shifter down a inch and TIG welded it. I got the cage today too.

[b00stedtalon2]

yay! Finally were Cajin ;). Ill be over this weekend Scott :DSweet, we'll weld it up and paint it :)

wow this is really commin together.
and thanks man

[b00stedtalon2]

Alright well my ECU came today, I will be wiring it all in this weekend as well as welding the cage. The cage is just sitting there not welded or anything for measurement purposes.

[brandonzero]

WOW YOU GOT IT YESSS!! let us know if you need the cage welded.

[brandonzero]

Thats porkchop sandwiches....

[b00stedtalon2]

For the past week i've been fixing some bugs. The ECU is all wired up and good to go. All I have to do now is get power to the injector resistor box, then run a 4gauge wire from battery to starter mounting bolt because it cranks too slow.

Hopefully she'll be backing out of the garage on her own power monday or tuesday :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/Garage.jpg

[b00stedtalon2]

I am going to raise hell because of this car. It wont fire up and everything seems to be perfect.

I get spark and fuel in the cylinders, timing is good, the settings on my Mega squirt are good. It has good compression, good gas with a new fuel filter, good fuel pressure. Bah! I even tried some starting fluid and it did nothing.

[uberchargedDSM]

thats no good.

[BLKTurboTsi]

:-\ Confusingg :(

[Kmoore]

Keep cranking it.....

[shaunp]

Did it start yet?

[b00stedtalon2]

Not yet, but I did find the problem. Person that assembled the head put some weird exhaust cam in that is for sure not from a 4g63. The lobes on the exhaust cam almost line up with the intake cam almost like there are two intake cams. For now I'm going to toss in some stock 1g cams.

Took it apart last night.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_2375Large.jpg

[MufflerBearing]

How did you end up finding that out?

What kind of tuning software are you going with? And what is the deal with the ECU?

[b00stedtalon2]

Took the valve cover off then realized the lobes are pretty much pointing in the same direction at TDC for BOTH intake and exhaust. They are suppose to be 180 off from each other.

I'm using Megatune 2.25 beta 18. What do you mean whats the deal with my ECU?

[MufflerBearing]

I'm using Megatune 2.25 beta 18. What do you mean whats the deal with my ECU?They were sort of the same question. Never heard of Megatune. You answered it for me. I knew it wasnt an AEM setup or even DSMlink. Just wasnt sure what you were using.

How did you do that to your passenger side headlight?

[b00stedtalon2]

Well, the EMS is called Megasquirt, but the tuning software for it is called Megatune. It's pretty much the same as AEM, just 1/4 the price.

For my headlight, I just cut a 5" hole in the lens, got some metal ducting from the hardware store and glued it in. Then since it's not a actual headlight, just the lens bolted to the car, you have to cut the mounting spots for the headlight and keep them on the lens so you can bolt it up.

[VisionPaintball]

Nice build. where did you get the cage from?

[russian rocket]

He called me, I came over and called him an idiot lol.


Jeez Scott, not giving me any credit here for finding the problem....asshole

[b00stedtalon2]

Your ass didn't find shit. You looked at the cam gears and said the "dots" have to line up :rofl:

[b00stedtalon2]

Nice build. where did you get the cage from?
Thanks. I got the cage from http://www.swracecars.com/

[russian rocket]

Your ass didn't find shit. You looked at the cam gears and said the "dots" have to line up :rofl:

I swear I am gonna kill you, if it wasn't for me, you would still be paying the guy from mega squirt to come down and figure out why your car wouldn't start.
BTW the dots don't line up because you have TWO INTAKE CAMS! lol

[b00stedtalon2]

Okay fine, you get 10 credits.

[BLKTurboTsi]

Yay Nice stuff! Good Find!

Now, scott drop off your valve cover so i
can start shaving that thing :P

Pfff, n00bs :rolleyes:


:D :D

[b00stedtalon2]

Back together. Just have to tighten up the t-belt. Also had the valve cover shaved. Thanks BLKTurboTsi ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_2382Medium.jpg

[uberchargedDSM]

Sweeet start it up and get some videos.

[BLKTurboTsi]

hell yea, No problem b00stedtalon :D

Looks better on the car ;). I had fun shaving it!

Let me know if you need anything else!

[LatDSM]

Yeah I cut the b&m shifter down a inch and TIG welded it. I got the cage today too.

where did you order the cage from?

[b00stedtalon2]

where did you order the cage from?
www.swracecars.com

[LatDSM]

I understand its the mild steel 8-point roll cage?

How robust are they? do they come with some sort of Homoligation or how is it? the word mild makes me think about the cage being too much show and too little help when one really needs it...?

[b00stedtalon2]

Yes its the mild steel 8pt. It's for sure pretty damn strong, and if it is welded properly, it will do the job. And yes, it's made specifically for our cars (select 95 talon) and is in spec for racing. It comes with a manual to help you and tells you how it needs to be installed to pass spec.

[b00stedtalon2]

Did a compression test today, 30 psi ftw!

Also did a little hood mod.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_2450Large.jpg

[totaleclipse_05]

Did a compression test today, 30 psi ftw!

I hope you meant that was a boost leak test and held 30 psi.

If not, you are a newb and need to get that thing goin already! lol

[b00stedtalon2]

Yes, 30 psi in all four cylinders. Pretty sure the valves aren't sealing for some really odd reason. I mean, It has a new headgasket with both head and block decked. New piston rings, with timing dead on.

But w/e, the car is a POS and will never start. Kinda just want to send it off to Buschur or something. I give up lol

[wishihadatalon]

Oh it will start as soon as you get your compression in check. Don't give up now.

[b00stedtalon2]

Yeah, I pulled off the head, and my brand new cometic headgasket was oily and almost black. Almost like the head wasn't touching the block. Pretty weird because my head was just decked and so was the block 1,000 miles ago.

I'm gonna tossing on a stock felpro sprayed with copper then tourqed with my ARP's, it should be good.

Also sprayed the engine bay flat black, the paint that was in there was pretty bad looking.

Is your name Sam by any chance and do you live in Sterling Heights.

[b00stedtalon2]

Is your name Sam by any chance and do you live in Sterling Heights.
nope lol

[TSI27]

I think your the guy who sold or traded that green TSI with the 6 bolt that some noob wrecked. It was a nice car, Ive always liked the dark green Talons especially with the 2GB front end.

[pinder91]

Now you're thinking of the right guy.

[b00stedtalon2]

I actually traded that car for a crotch rocket. Then the kid who owned the bike sold it to a high school kid who wrecked it. But yeah I owned it. It was for sure nice.

[dsmtnr95]

How does it idle with no iac. Cuz u deleted it competely from the system with that plate right....

[b00stedtalon2]

How does it idle with no iac. Cuz u deleted it competely from the system with that plate right....
The car hasn't fired up yet so I'm not sure how it will idle, but yes It is completely gone.

[dsmtnr95]

I ask because im always willing to get rid of ugly things i dont need. So let us know how it works out without it. Ive already made a billet plate similar to urs. but my car wont be running till mid may so id like to hear how it goes. thanx.

[b00stedtalon2]

ALRIGHT. it is all back together for the last fucking time lol. the battery is dead so I couldn't see if she ran tonight so in the morning i will know. if it doesn't, then either a) the car will have a new owner or b) buschur racing will have a new customer that tows there car to the shop and has them just build a whole new everything for it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_2513Large.jpg

[brokentsiowner]

Ill take it back if you dont want it.

[LatDSM]

I guess I missed it - but where to did you relocate your fuse box and how?

[b00stedtalon2]

I relocated it into the center console. Basically I just extended all the wires to it.

Anyways.. car had like 70psi compression after trying a new gasket. I'm tired of messing around with this ignorant motor. So I came up with a new solution, throw in another one! (with good known compression) :D

Old motor out:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/skate3276/IMG_2534Medium.jpg

New motor coming soon
