    2G 95 Talon TSi

    Post by AJracer33a

    So guys, I got my new DSM. 95 Talon TSi with a 97 TSi body. Her name is Faline and yes, she needs paint. But the body is great, interior is amazing, engine bay is clean, and all for $2000. I will list the long list of mods when I can but here are some pics until then.

    Speedometer/odometer didn't work when I bought it. That's fixed. Bucked hard when I got it, that is pretty well fixed and she pulls hard. Fixed some boost leaks, deleted emmisions, and some other random stuff. This is going to be a very fun car and fun learning process as it is my first 2G.

    Hope you guys like.

    So yea, I spun a rod bearing on cylinder 3. The motor I built for the 1g is now in this thing.

    Named the car Feline. Feline is Bambi's gfs name in the disney movie. The car bucked when I bought it hense naming it after a deer. Although I did like Skittles, Shake.

    Mods are: tubular headers, 1g cas, walbro 255 fuel pump, fmic and hard piping, front upper strut bar, and k & n air filter.

    I have replaced some brake lines and a few other odds and ends.

    She runs great and pulls harder since the motor swap. I need to get NGK plugs and wires next. Only have a few more maintenance projects left. Ive done more to this car in a week than most do witn a car for a whole year. Not by choice either lol.

    Gunna be dropping in my 1g radiator tomorrow which requires a little modification.

    Swapped in the 1g radiator. Very easy to do. All you need to do is cut off the pegs on the bottom of the 1g radiator. It dropped right in. You need to use the 1g upper radiator hose with the 2g lower hose. You do have to cut the 1g upper radiator hose to make it a little shorter. There is quite a bit more room in the exhaust manifold/turbo area though since the outlet for the upper hose on a 1g radiator is on the passenger side where as the 2g outlet is smack dab in the middle of the radiator.

    Crazy weekend. Friday, I relocated tbe fuse box lower underneath the intake pipe/MAF and against the frame. That cleaned things up a bit.

    Saturday, I headed up north to get my daughter. After I got her, I met Kurt with his 1G and he followed me to the town Ryan (with the Evo) lives in. On the way there, we had some complications with Kurts car. Then, mine.

    The Talon shut off. At this time, I didn't know why but it would not run. Turned out to be the shitty power transistor plug that popped off.

    I have done the Potentiometer (volume control knob) Mod to the Talon. With the 1G CAS on the 2G, it is very common to have a random misfire while cruising. The Pot Mod, fixes this. It's more of a band aid.

    I wired up the Pot to the wire for the barometric pressure sensor wire that goes to the ECU. You turn the knob on the Pot up and it changes the resistance going to the ECU so the ECU thinks you are on Mount Everest (high elevation) and in turn the ECU will no longer make the engine misfire. For more info and how to do this, CLICK THIS LINK

    I also have an issue that I need to address soon. While the base ignition timing is set at 5* BTDC where it is supposed to be, the car runs like ass. The thing barely moves. But if I advance the CAS all the way, she runs absolutely amazing. This is not a good idea because you can easily melt your pistons.

    I am not sure why this is happening quite yet, but it's obvious something is telling the ECU to pull timing like crazy when the base timing is 5* BTDC. Could be reading knock at 5* and no knock when fully advanced, could be boost leaks, could be a lot of things. I had to run my 1G like this as well.

    Also, I have failed to mention that I have the 1G DSM AWD big brake swap.

    Well, that should get you up to speed. I am not really sure what is coming up next but I may be painting her soon! Going white and black since I have always wanted a Panda! My girl friend is actually going to be doing all the body work and paint. She has a lot more experience with this stuff than I do.

    Well, till next time. See ya!

    I installed an unknown brand of lowering springs yesterday! They are red and have no name on them. Hopefully I can eventually find out what they are. But, they dropped my ride height 1 1/2" and I am quite satisfied with them.

    Next, I have to fix my BISS screw and BOV.

    Here are some more pics!

    Yesterday, I decided to finally night shade my tail lights. First attempt sucked. The nozzle for the spray can was shot so it spit all over. Used brake cleaner to remove all the night shade and started again with a new nozzle.

    The second time around was much better, but not what I was hoping for. It was an old can of night shade. Still have some tidying up to do on them but they will do for now.

    Next, my girl friend was in the mood for some body work. So she decided to paint my hood. She sanded the hood down to remove the clear coat. Eventually when she was all prepped, she began paint. We just rattle canned it because we are planning on painting the whole car soon.

    For rattle can paint, it turned out pretty good. Still have to wetsand it yet.

    I ordered a new BISS screw and BOV gasket from Extreme PSI Friday. They should arrive today. Wednesday, I am going over to the garage so I can put them on.

    PICS!

    Friday, I heard something fall off my car while driving. Sounded like a bolt or wrench as it had that "pinging" noise when making contact with the road surface.

    Saturday, I went to tighten up my alternator belt because the squealing had escalated. Well, I took the tensioner off, and when I did, the alternator about fell off the car.

    I quickly realized the alternator pivot bolt is what fell off of my car the night before. So, I hitched a ride to Napa and got a couple new bolts and nuts to use as the pivot bolt. I ended up with:

    M8 x 1.25mm pitch Bolt and Nut- 118mm in length.

    No more squealing.

    Today on the way back from my drug screening for work (yes, I passed), I noticed my heater blowing cold air. So I immediately looked at the temperature gauge. Yep, she was getting hot.

    So I pulled over. The rubber hose running to the oil filter housing had a splice in it. I noticed the hose becoming weak while I fixed the alternator so this was no surprise to me.

    Got the aluminum racing jack out, put my overalls on, and grabbed a new hose out of my hatch. Cut the hose to the correct length, put it on, problem solved.

    Meanwhile, here are some pics from over the weekend when I had my beautiful daughter.

    Yesterday after I watched Dale Jr. get his first win in exactly 4 years, I felt ambitious so I did a couple things.

    I lowered the battery onto the subframe, removed the cruise control actuator (other CC gadgets are still there), removed the sound deadening on the firewall, relocated some things on the firewall, and removed the horn for the factory alarm that was on the firewall.

    I need to do some thorough cleaning once I get some Purple Power. Also going to tape up the wiring harness which is now exposed, and paint my VC.

    Here are some pics.

    Just bought a 14B in good condition. It comes with the J-pipe, oil feed line, oil lines, oil return pipe, hotside, wastegate, water lines, etc.

    So, when it arrives, off comes the POS T-2small!

    I am also in the midst of sanding/painting another valve cover. It's going to be purple with silver letters. Should look alright.

    Just painted the underside of the hood white since it was red.

    I am going to throw some stickers on it that I have been saving up for when I painted the hood.

    I like the look of a "sticker bombed" underside hood.

    Next, next big plans, is the 14B when it comes in the mail. Should be here Thursday. So I will install it Thursday night or Friday.
