1994 Talon TSi

[TkrPerformance]

Just take out the upper fuse box it unplugs from the bottom it is just for the a/c
Also take out the fuel noids next to it.
Cut the top 1/2 off the power stearing bracket and cut the upper engine mount.
(I have it done on both the talon and the wifes hatch) makes it look a lot cleaner

ya thats all ac stuff up in the corner. cut the wires and turn the grommet inside out to hide everything and the hole. did you see if there was a crack or soemthing wrong with the throttle body to see if that was leaking coolant?

I agree with removing that fuse box, and the solenoids right next to it on the firewall. Also if there is anything remaining from the emissions system under the battery, remove all of it and just tuck the battery down in there. A lot easier than relocating to the trunk, and really cleans things up.

Also, is that mess on the passenger side ABS? Get rid of that crap!!

I'll reply for Mike.

nope, no pictures of him working, my hands were too dirty to use the camera.

I like the idea of just dropping the battery to the K member, no need for a shut off switch.

What all is needed to eliminate the abs setup?

And he isn't putting any nitrous to the car yet. It is all plumbed in for it, but just not being used.

I wish he had gotten a good picture of the puddle of coolant on the closed intake valve...

Nice work and pics.
But lets get to teh important shit, how big of a shot are you running? How long u been doing it?

Not running anything yet, it was on the car when I got it and has never been hooked up quite right. I just kept it around in case i wanted to use it some day.

Damn, that sucks about the exhaust mani studs. Looks like you're making some damn good progress on it though!

Think she will be ready to go come spring?

I hope to have it on the tuned and on the dyno for spring dyno day, we'll see if my budget allows for that!

I can ditch all 3 of those solenoids? just rip em out and cover the3 wires so they don't ground out?

Where exactly do I cut the engine and power steering mounts? Anyone have pics?

TB looked fine, I didn't really pay it much attention though either I guess.

Yup I want to get rid of the ABS.




Here's the plan for the ABS. I have all the tools to bend my own lines, I am going to order a non-ABS proportioning valve today. What size and length lines do I need and what kind of fittings? to finish the job? I assume I can't just start cutting into the high pressure lines too, so how should I relieve the pressure?

I say eff that nitrous kit, that's what blew up the perfectly-running 7-bolt that was in it when I sold this car to that retarded Iowa guy.

I say just put the battery down on the k-member, looks way clean, esp once you get that SMIM on there, it'll all 'just work.' Might wanna look at Kevin's car as an example too, nice setup imho.

Oh, and I say do delete the ABS, IIRC I yanked the fuse on it anyways when I had that car because it worked like junk on 1G's.

I always yanked the ABS fuse on my 1G's too; its a worthless braking system.

That's because he hooked up the fuel solenoid to the fuel return instead of the fuel feed like he should have, and apparently was tuned quite aggressively only using a SAFC. lol

..not to mention it will give you a LOT of room!
