hahaha! Oh man talk about FAIL ...I GET IT!!!! This for sure wont ever happen again ha!but no it wasnt on e85... pump gas...still. Im sure it wasnt from fuel in the oil. . .im positive more leaning towards some kind of mechanical failure but yeah. . . LESSON LEARNED NO MORE STOCK FPR and no more ill get that part put on once i know the car runs. . . finish 100% before turning the key got it :)

Just remember that when you are performing research on the internet you should validate your findings in a few places and from well respected and documented sources.

From a fuel flow perspective, overrunning the stock mas isn't the worst thing in the world, but it is still bad. It present a tuning issue when trying to calculate injector size and also makes it difficult for the computer to dial in fuel trims as two things are happening
1) The injector size is not the same as you've "published" in your dsmlink
2) The injector size changes inconsistently based on fuel consumption.

Generally speaking, new fuel setup + new components = difficult to manage unless you've been there and done that before.

Good luck next time.

Thank You! Ill keep that in mind. A lot more planning will go into the next steps to recovery. Sucky tthis might of been preventable had i asked more question's instead of looking up a few things and winging it. Lesson learned :) once again thanks everyone for the constructive pointers and where i went wrong ect!

Sure has been forever since ive updated this project thread. My 1G Talon is finally running again and stronger then ever before...well actually for a few months now...ive just been working on it so much leaving, me little time to update threads or do much else for that matter.

After last years disaster i ended up picking up one Johns (Push it 2.0) Engine. Fresh rebuild new pistons rods, balanced crank, honed out just ALL OUT GOOD PLATFORM! In addition John's just one of the Coolest guys to work with BY FAR just so you know! Probably the most patient with my noob question's just awesome guy.

Here are a few pictures just because :c9598f74:

The current mod list pretty much stays the same. Still rocking a 50 trim sold my 1200cc for some FIC BLUE Max 1450cc added a Aeromotive FPR to my fuel set up...few more SS lines here and there. Little smaller External Oil Cooler...the other one was just over kill as far as the actual oil lines went.

Tune is scheduled at DB Performance July 12th after over a Month of waiting finally get to go on the rollers. So as far as preperation's will go for the event just a fresh oil change spare spark plugs...im thinking of installing some camms but im not sure about that since my heads not really buildt. I miss placed my 280's and thought they got tossed but ended up finding them so i figure why NOT?....Boost leak test day before and i guess just make sure i prepare as much as possible before hand ....any advice is appreciated from you guys...and yeah hope itll make a lil over 100 WHP :biggrin:

[Alpha D]

And............like usually the pictures are all out of order GREAT! Ill fix that once i get home. I also decided to finally install the K sport coil overs and im pretty happy with its stance...its for sure, No hella flush but i was going for functionality and more of a performance aspect instead of looks? Either way rides a lil harsh...i assume my pre-load is just a lil over kill so hope to get that adjusted soon as well, corners like a Boss though :D

[goodhart]

Nice. Good luck with the tune

[evotuner]

Yeah good luck with the tune, hope all goes well

[x-pride]

Has the valve springs and retainers been updated? If not I would not install the 280 cams. The db website also has some things to check on before getting tune. Good luck on the tune.

[turbotalon1g]

i posted earlier, but what turbo?

[Alpha D]

X pride that's the thing, running these camms on a a stock head is skeetch, however person I got them from ran them quite a while on a unbuild head....I haven't done a single risky thing on this build besides contemplated running the Bc's for the tune...my goal was to rev the motor to 8k maybe 8250 but I just haven't done enough research as far as optimum rpm and or if its wise even on a build head with dual springs retainers ect....if I could get away at 7500 hundred without a build head just for the dyno I would do it....

My gut feeling tells me not to push my luck though and just wait till I get the springs before cam instal....I mean how likely or what are the odds of my valves floating at 7500 with stock springs...
pressures ect?

Turbo talon its just a tdo4b bulls eye 50 trim ball bearing turbo...I really like its spooling characteristics. Very responsive...goal is 28psi max ill need to see if it can spool and hold that psi through out the rpm range I want...24-26psi might be smarter....pretty much as much boost as I can handle without catastrophe :)
