1994 Talon TSi

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I can setup NLTS also, if you run a wire from your cruise control switch to ECU pin #104.

Maybe, I'm not real sure how hard NLTS is on trannies though...

Well I tore the turbo off this weekend, I figured even if it wasn't 100% shot I better freshen it up before I switch to E85. With that being said, I got my brand spankin new PTE 1200cc injectors in the mail today that I got a great deal on (Thanks again Jvsc91Talon!) So I plan on getting this turbo rebuilt and then gettting this thing on the corn ASAP.

I took the turbo apart and blasted the housings, ran everything else through the parts washer, and will be bringing it all to jhaan_dude tomorrow to have him replace the seals, send the shaft out to get balanced, replace what needs replacing, etc.

Here are some before and afters:

Also cleaned up the O2 housing, it looked like crap, so I ran it through the wire wheel.

I wanted to get some pics of the wheels and shaft on the turbo but the camera wasn't cooperating to get the detail I wanted in the photos. There was some ever so slight scoring in the shaft and a tiny tiny amount of damage in the compressor wheel where it had touched the housing somewhere along the line. It had a little more than normal side-to-side shaft play and some pretty bad end-to-end play. (like 1/32-1/16 or so)

So I am pretty glad I took the turbo off, now I know exactly what I will have and will have the peace of mind that it won't blow up on the dyno once I throw about 100 more HP to it.

I've decided to go a different direction with this car, so I got some parts for it! I Picked up a Turbonetics (think its a look alike) Manifold from slowbubblecar, an SC-61 from jhaan, and will be picking up an external wastegate soon from 95talonracer. Then I need to replace the headgasket, I will be going with a permatorque and L19's. After that the only thing I will need is a custom o2 housing (because I am going to try to reroute the wastegate instead of dumping it) and a tune and this thing should be good to go sooner or later

looks good! good choice on the turbo I also just picked up a scm61 from him

Looks good! Good luck getting your hood to close with that manifold, they were designed for a 2g, and there isn't enough clearance between the wastegate and the hood on a 1g. And yes, that's a copy of the turbonetics manifold.

Really? I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Yeah, TKR's brother (Craig on here) had the turbonetics manifold on his 1g and had to make a little extension off the manifold to angle the wastegate down enough to clear the hood.

[goodhart]

Well I do know a few good welders/fabricators in my area, so it shouldn't be to hard to figure it out. Anyways, thanks for the heads up dude! One less thing to surprise me down the road.

[TkrPerformance]

send my bro a pm (sn on here is craig) about the manifold. he still has pics of the adaptor that we made for it so it would clear on his 1g
