95 Talon TSi AWD

Looks good!

A little bit of fun at a time is the way to go with these cars IMHO--every little thing makes a difference and if you're smart about it you won't have to do too many things twice.

I'd say sell off what you don't need and build a simple e85 setup with those cams...then a 16g-ish turbo and call it good! If you have boat-loads of money sitting around after that, then do a stroker and then if you have more do a big turbo.

Build the stock bottom end. Like Scheides said, build it slowly and with the extra cash, you can start putting more into it. As for the injectors, I'm sure you'll have to be running 800s or more. 800s at the least. Plus a "bigger" fuel system. I'd say run the Evo 3 16g, those are very fun.

You're in a body shop (judging by the sanded down 1g in the pic) and you used Armorall? Bad move when it comes paint time...

I bet they're fun, I just wanted to do something different other than what EVERYONE else has done. Know what I mean? It seems everyone is running a 16g nowadays.

Actaully it is NAPA brand "Protectant". Same concept though. I know what you are saying, the airborne shit will create fisheyes and such. It was a Saturday, and we were not open.

There was no painting going on. When we are painting, no one uses it. The same goes for WD40 or PB Blaster. We aren't completely dumb up here...lol

Also, that 1g should be in a scrapyard. Hahaha, POS.

Get MAP's EF series turbos or the FP 68HTA. If I were to do my setup again, it'd be a stock bottom end, 272s, (either)MAP turbos or FP 68HTA, 1000s, e85, plus dsmlink. Yes, very (very) plain list but very effective. Good luck!

If you dont have alot of money, Id say stay on the beaten path. 16G set up is cheap and reliable and still plenty fun! Once your done with that enjoy your car and buy a spare 7 bolt and build that up into 2.4. Then theres no down time.

Or just DD the gst and build the awd now the way you want over a couple of years (depending on your budget) then put it all in.

Either way its your car and your desicion in the end.

A built 2.0 (forged internals) should cost the same as a 2.4(forged internals)

The 2.3 I wanted to build would be perfect with the HX35, but like I realize, it just isn't practical right now. Maybe I will see what I can do as far as getting a built 2.0 block put together.

Also, if everything works out today, I should have a manifold, turbo, and o2 housing for the car by tonight. Then in a few months, coilovers and an exhaust system. Then 'Link to follow!

You don't have to tell me things twice. ;)

The dash is also looking really good! From dried out by the sun, to almost new looking in less than 24 hours.

Alright.. I think that will be the last update for the night!

Well I have decided it is time to start fixing a few of the problems this thing has. The first thing is the front end. This car has to have been in an accident. The hood and driver's side fender do not sit right on/next to each other. Plus the headlight sticks out too far.

So I was thinking since I will be working on the front end, I might as well go after my original plans of the 2gb Eclipse front end conversion. I hate how everyone does the 2gb Eclipse conversion on Talons though, especially on the front. So I want to put a twist on it. I cannot decide between these two options. Help me decide which to go with.

I hope b00sted spyder doesn't mind me stealing a picture of his ride, lol.

But regaurdless, both options have functionality. It isn't simply for looks. It'll definately help with cooling.

Do a 2GB talon front and rear bumper with the high rise talon wing. The leave the twists on the sides.

Then youll have a 2gb talon/eclipse!

Best of both worlds

Ive never liked the 2GB eclipse/talon mix of body pieces though

The rear bumper is fine for me. The car was just painted 2 springs ago so there is no need to go that deep into it again, lol. The 2gb Talon bumper is tempting as well. I do not really feel like paying $2xx for a bumper before painting it though.
