1Ga talons are the hotness.

 

+1 I still lose sleep trying to figure out why the hell I sold my 16g powered 1990. :dunno:

Good work so far Ryan. I love that ETS FMIC! Hows the spool on that 68HTA with a stroker?

 

Sorry..I must not have been following what you've done. I only see one pic? What did you change? Clean looking car though man!

Btw, thank you for your service!!:usa:

 

Sorry about that, I figured I would chop up the pictures in different post. Also thank you a lot. I actually bought this car when I was 17 back in 2007. Blew it up like a young dumbass. Sold it to a friend of the family, then joined the army. Where about 4 years passed by and I thought for sure this car was long gone. However, I called the old man up and he asked if I wanted the car back so I jumped on it the first chance I could. So here I am a little less than 4 years later and I have the same talon back that I had in high school.

This is exactly what I'd do to a 1g if I had one. Nice ride!

 

Thanks! I had a lot of help from friends and family. I tryed to keep it clean

 

Thank you for serving. Nice looking 1ga. I have always liked that color ( and it was a rare one ).

 

Thanks, and beautiful 9's 1g you got there mike

 

MB motoring 747's!!! First rims you had on it! I had these on my first car ever, a 95 tsi. Man I hated those rims but I kinda miss them haha. something about how they had no lip just made me mad haha. But damn, your up in Holland, I head up to South Haven, Holland, Saugatuck and what not all the time on our boat. Might have to come take em of your hands if you still have em! Hang them on the wall or something to remember my first car.

 

Sounds good man, Still have all four rims w/ the hankook tires that have perfect tread on them. I clear out of the army in jan. So just shoot me a pm for them and i'm still trying to sell everything else as well. The small 16g has a rebuild and has about 300 miles on it. The evo III mani is in perfect shape besides the normal heat corrosion on it.

Ipm sorry if I missed it. But how did you put your stroker together? Was it random parts or was it a kit? Giving you any trouble? I've been wanting to do a stroker kit for the longest time with this car but just can't seem to save the money for it.

 

Hey man,
well I need to correct my mods, but it's the 2.3L stroker. I missed spelled that. It is the complete kit from dsmparts.com. I went with a complete kit due to the fact that I am still really under expierenced as in I am still learning my parts and what works and doesn't. So I really didn't feel comfortable piecing my motor together as a lot of guys do.

 

Just for future reference, to do the 2.3 setup you just need the 100mm stroke crank, and "stroker" pistons which have the wrist pin offset 6mm higher.

 

Not much of an update but took some time out of my oh so busy day, and blacked out the front markers.

Also, Its already in another thread, but I just got my Ecmlink in, and I have ordered a new Megan Racing downpipe

How are your IAT's with that FMIC and the 68HTA? I'm curious to see if the 68HTA's wheel is that much more efficient than the Evo 3. My 16G produced so much heat, it was beyond a pain, and I wonder had I had something like an ETS core would it have been any better.

 

Hey cracked,
Sorry now numbers or info on issues with running to hot just yet. Ever since the start of the build back in august the cars only been ran to pit it on the trailor. The only idea or info on the intercooler and turbo is hear say and spread sheet information an flow chart comparisons. I went with the ported exhaust side with the intentions of getting that extra spool on it. From my knowledge of looking at flow charts the hta isn't worth the time or money if you are already running a 16g Platform. It does outflow the 16g family but for the price to flow difference I personally would go with at the least a 20g. As for the ets fmic once again I'm going on reputation and hear say. However, I'm guessing from the crappy smic and nylon braided piping it came with the car it will cool that hot side down plenty. My only concern and will have to wait to see is how hot the motor itself runs now that the fmic is taking away that extra airflow to my radiator. Should have an actual personal experience within the coming weeks after putting my ecmlink in and getting a proper tune in the car so I can get IAT's, motor temps, knock count and the whole 9 yards.

 

Got a little more work done today. The AEM wide band is going to stay, but I'm getting rid of the two defi gauges and switching them for matching Aem boost gauges instead.

Also getting ready to install the new Fuel rail and injectors. It's so PUURRRTTTYY

Just an update. Slowly getting her done, but with my new job time is limited.

Is this a 90 or a 91? And its really nice and clean, I like it! Mine has little dents here and there and paint chipping here and there but hey im 16 and this is my first car i cant complain.

 

It's a 91, and thanks. Suprisingly the pictures make the car look a lot better, It's actually got about an inch thick of dust and dirt from sitting in a garage for 4 years with only being moved for starting and running purposes and to transport it between barns. It has one pretty good size dent on the driver side from some asshole that hit it backing up. Other than that the paint itself is in incredible shape. For it being the original paint job it has little to no sun spots on her.

 

Shiiit. I wish I had all that money to spend just on my 1ga D: Looking really good!

 

Trust me man, I wasn't born into the money. The car is a product of sucking ass for 2 years in iraq. So pretty much you can thank uncle sam that there's still one more talon on the road lol

I have to pull the front bumper off and do a little cutting and sanding to get that hump out!

 

Other than that, the car really looks great!
