Well after discussing with justin on tuners about rebuilding my 7 blade hx35w. My wife actually told me to find another one just in case....get an answer like that and well you just say yes dear and be grateful.

So anyrate was between a used fp black and hx40

And ended up with the hx40 in the bep55 housing. Has 10 track passes on it. Owner got deployed and while he was gone had his motor built and upgrades to fpsuper99

I didnt want to change manifolds or 02housing so this worked for me. I wasn't looking to max out the turbo si the bep housing is fine.

Im still sending my hx35 to be rebuilt. So ill get a comparison between the two and then keep the one I like best amd sell the other one.
they are both 7 blade turbos.

Well the new turbo arrived hxsuper40 in the bep housing.

Look forward to getting it hopefully installed this weekend. Before little man shows up anyday now.

I also got the clips ordered that I needed to put the stock side skirts on the car.

I painted them along with the front bumper last weekend. But it has been raining, followed by heavy polin which turns everything green around here, ever since so i haven't gotten a chance to take pictures

So had a bit of a disheartening find over the weekend.

So I know I've been finding little things that lead me to believe my car actually started as a talon and not an eclipsr that the previous claimed.

And now im even questioning if it even started life as turbo car at all.
I had painted my sideskirtsnand front bumper a few weeks ago. And i just needed the clips to install the side skirts. So I ordered all the clips I needed to install the side skirts and they arrived last week.

Previously i had only done mock ups as I didnt have any pushpin and just put bolts in the ends to hold them in place.

Long story short driver side I found the holes drilled for the push pins dont line 100% hopefully enough do.

So for the first time I went to check the passengerside. Amd low and behold there isn't a single hole for side skirts on that side at all.

And from what I've found so far seems only the rs model came with out side skirts?

And my other bad luck I had over the weekend was my new turbo super hx40(10 track passes then wad parked owner was deployed). It came with broken studs in the exhaust housing. And although I had luck drilling them out. On one of th holes when I went to use my rethread tool it wouldn't turn either way when I was 3/4 way down, i snapped it iff in the hole trying to back it out. And so far nothing I have seems to be able to drill that out.
So I went ahead and just ordered another bep exhaust housing.

N/A cars had the neon motor, totally different motor mounts. Haha I just had a funny thought of your car having a turbo 420a in it.
And your title should tell you if your car started life as an Eagle or Mitsubishi. And should also specify the trim level. You can find out all the info by the VIN.

[TkrPerformance]

your car would have been a turbo to start with. if it was a na 420a the engine would have sat the other way same as a evo. you can not swap a 4g63 dsm motor into a na 2g with out a ton of work.


****add on: looked at all the pics of your car it is a 2gb talon with eclipse bumpers on it. the doors and qt. panels have the holes in them for the side strakes. 97-98 2gb talons did not come with side skirts on them since they had the side strakes.****

the only way to get a broken tap out is to brake it apart chisel and hammer or diamond bits to grind it out. done it a lot of times both ways to fix turbo housings for guys

[Goat Blower]

What does the title say it is? Does the VIN number on the dash match with other places on the car? If a door doesn't have the mounting holes, that door could've easily been replaced in the past with a base model door.

Yep, exactly right. I have a set of core pins I use for breaking them out (punch press pins). They do make diamond bits you can use in a die grinder that will work. The biggest issue there is not messing up the threads that are in there already too badly. I would try breaking it out first. Big whacks since the tap is strong but brittle.

Depending on how much more money in have to spend getting the car running again.

Might send you my old housing to fix / finish. So hopefully I can sell it and get some money back.
