cmrs2k Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's been a long time and I've been away from a lot of projects. I have "trolled" around here but time has been very scarce for me for the past couple of months. I have finally had some time to get a little bit done to the talon so I figured that I would share a couple of pics of the progress. I think it's coming along pretty well.

cmrs2k Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks. Sadly, I haven't even driven it since I took it down to begin all of the upgrades. I was running stock boost up until this point. It is my intention to tune for 12psi driver mode and switch to 28psi when its time to go. I am setting up to run on e-85. Yesterday was the first time that I've started it up in a long time. It's almost ready to hit the road. For some strange reason, despite the fact that there are an insane amount of bolt on turbos made for these cars, I ended piecing together a custom setup. It should be worth it when I'm done.

talentfinder36 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Man that looks really good. What turbo combo did you combine? You had it dynoed yet? Quote Mark 99 Eclipse Spyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmrs2k Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks. I don't know the exact specs on the turbo. It started out as a Hahn Racecraft Super 20G. Forced Performance in Mckinney did a custom job on it and the exact specs, compressor maps, etc. were not made available. I was told to refer to it as a "Really super 20G". It will make a dyno soon, but I am just a few steps away from even driving it still. I was able to fire it up for the first time since the install began just the other day. It sounded wicked for sure. I won't be able to work on it again until Thursday or Friday but I hope to put it on the road before the weekend is finished. On my last one (the black 2g that I've posted before) I was able to pull a best of 394awhp and 401lb/ft. That was on a sleeper 16g from FP. I hope to be able to pass those numbers just a bit on pump gas and crush them running e-85. With that being said, I'm really having trouble lately, longing for my old 2g. Damn that car was pretty. I should have never sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wL<3bass Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Man the car goes from "needing some TLC" to "BAM look at me" looks great man I love those cars, nothing like an awd launch to make your competition mad.

cmrs2k Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Gracias. Well, nothing really good in the way of pics for an update but I have a new laptop and ECM Tuning should have my new DSM Link tuning system is on its way. So, by the end of this weekend, I should be running 28psi on E-85. It will be a couple of weeks before I can get to a dyno. Unless something happens before then, my wife will be having a C-section on Monday 6/30 and I will be a first time father. I will be spending the next few weeks getting to know my son.
