Slow '91 Talon

[mikefromMN]

Hey guys, I have a 91 Talon I bought a few years ago off of a member. Ended up needing a new motor, so I bought a shortblock off of another member. Paid a "former shop" to have the head redone and put the motor back together and in. Using a pocket logger I was seeing crazy advance at WOT. Brought the car to DB, and ended up with right around 200 to the wheels. I figured that wasn't too bad with an auto, 14b, and only 550 cc injectors on a stock fuel pump.

Last year I added a FMIC (bought off of here), and this year I plan on going e85: 255, afpr, 1200 cc RC injectors, wb02, and a tune. Maybe using a BBK throttle body? I have one, but I'm not sure about fitment. (Everything I see is about putting a 1g TB on a 2g, not the other way around. Plus I'm not sure if the sensors and shit will transfer over, whatever though, it was cheap.)

Mods are: supposedly balanced bottom end, 8.5:1 pistons, arp headstuds, cometic HG, zero'd out MAF-T in blow-through, FMIC, MBC, and 550's.

I'm sure you guys don't care, and this is a pretty mild build. I also figure I'll be asking questions as time goes on, so I might as well have a central thread to ask them in.

If you want to know anything else, ask.

Pics to follow.

Another auto dsm. plans on a differnt turbo? You should bring it to proving grounds this year.

I'd like to stick with a stock mitsu flange and not a ton of lag, so maybe a 16g. I'd like to find one used and within my budget.

No need for the BBK, you'll add problems and a slower response, not power.

My TB is leaking, so I figured as long as I have to take it off I'd put the BBK on. But if that's the case I'll just replace the seals.

EF1!!!

Welcome mike, good luck.

[93gtpeater]

I would go with the ef1. I have seen it in action and they perform very well in the auto car. post some pics up.

Sounds like a good setup to buld on!

I would maybe save some of your money and not get a afpr though as Shane can tune around them with a single 255. That bbk throttle body also seems like it'd be more work than its worth to get it to fit on a stock 1g intake mani.

Get an FP68hta over those map turbos ;)

Both great turbos, but I believe the hta68 is almost $1200 these days, and the EF1 can just be a wheel upgrade to an existing turbo. I liked what I saw from a couple EF1 cars last year...almost makes me want another 1g...almost haha.

Good point on the price, spend twice the amount for the same or lesser performance? no thanks.

You did get another DSM and failed. :rollinglaugh:
