^ double check the wires on the plug..sometimes they are reversed for HID's for some reason..

Re: My Talon
 

Turn thr plug that goes into the red socket around backwards and it should work. That's what I had to do.

Re: My Talon
 

I'll give it a try. Chinese crap...

Re: My Talon
 

Done/Runs.
Gonna do a boost leak test just because. I hate using a 4" tester....

Re: My Talon
 

About time!!!!!!!!

Re: My Talon
 

Good to hear! Gonna be at the dyno day?

Re: My Talon
 

Congrats.

Re: My Talon
 

Yeah, work is letting me come in late I should be there for awhile. Too bad my car looks like crap. (boo, hiss)

Re: My Talon
 

^Stop being a drama queen

Re: My Talon
 

Well my tacky carbon hood showed up at Primo, hope to put it on tonight along with the Aerocatch hood pins, and I also got some more gear lube to change after breaking in the tranny. I also had to swap wire in a connector to get my 5000K hids working. I like the way they look. Not blue, but white

Re: My Talon
 

Nice, post up some pics when you get that hood on, kinda excited to see how it looks.

Re: My Talon
 

I WILL NEVER AGAIN INSTALL AEROCATCH HOOD PINS ON A CARBON FIBER HOOD! What a pain the ass. The product itself is good, but jesus christ was it a huge bitch.

And my hood fits horrible, wouldn't even close all the way. I'll explain more later.

Re: My Talon
 

Hahahaha. I know what you are talking about.

Re: My Talon
 

Some updated pics. Like I said previously, I WILL NEVER INSTALL AEROCATCH HOOD PINS IN A CARBON HOOD AGAIN!

Total pain in the ass...

Re: My Talon
 

At least you hood is somewhat flat, try it on a hood with sharp angles.

Re: My Talon
 

Nice, My bro and I didn't have that much trouble maybe about an hour, it was a little scary cutting the hood.

Re: My Talon
 

Looks sharp Kevin!

Re: My Talon
 

I like it a lot!!

Re: My Talon
 

I'll get some non cell phone pics later!

Whats next? For Sale lol.

Maybe...

And maybe a new fuel system ;)

Re: My Talon
 

I love your car! That's exactly what I wanted my old maroon one to look like lol. Do you have any other pics of the aerocatch install? And when you get better pics could you PM me some of the originals? I'm due for a new wallpaper =)

Re: My Talon
 

Do the fuel system!! Fuelab external ftw!!

Re: My Talon
 

^That might be overkill......


Or would it?

Re: My Talon
 

depends on the future of this car?

dun dun dun... haha

I might just do twin walbros, etc.

Re: My Talon
 

Yuck. You ever think of what happens when one of them decides to take a shit? Boost-A-Pump FTMFW. That is all.

Re: My Talon
 

^Do you even have a clue what you are talking about?

A shit ton of DSMers run twin walbros, a few locally even just fine.

Re: My Talon
 

There's a handful of options, and they all pretty much work.

Re: My Talon
 

I know what I am talking about, I personally would rather run a boost-a-pump.

I know that lots of guys around here run twins, I just would not do it on my car. I have never liked the idea of what would happen when one of the 255's goes to shit during a WOT pull vs. a single w/ BAP going out. One of the double's goes out= lean condition, Single w/ BAP goes out= car dies.

Re: My Talon
 

^lmao, alright man.

so you won't go lean when the single pump shuts down during a pull?

Will you even need to go bigger than a rewired 255 anyway?

Re: My Talon
 

If you're talking to me, my rewired 255HP is maxed out.

Got a chance to have my car in a photoshoot last night, I'm excited to see how the pics turned out! Cool setting, people who know what they are doing, and some cute Hmong girls ;) It might even be in a local calander!

Re: My Talon
 

^I'm not talking to you, i know u are already maxed out or close by your numbers.

Congrats on the shoot.

Re: My Talon
 

The car would just die. if the single pooped out during a pull. My car? I will need more than a single 255.

Re: My Talon
 

My camber is so bad my KDWs were shot after two summers. I threw on some crappy used Pirelli p6 All Seasons HAHA (junk)
Got my baby misfire figured out, gave a few friends rides.

Spun em doing a 30mph 2nd gear pull!! Wow! :)

Gave another ride...

Then, Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa PSSSH/BOOM *fuk*

Pull over, coolant everywhere, big as hole in my plastic timing cover...

Blown headgasket, cylinder #1, timing belt side. Literally blew out the timing cover.

Ahh, DSMs :)

Re: My Talon
 

But were the misfires fixed? :)

Re: My Talon
 

haha, yes, a .025 gap sure does the trick ;)

Now... Another OEM gasket :)

Re: My Talon
 

Sorry to hear this Kevin..

Re: My Talon
 

weird, L19s?

Re: My Talon
 

That sucks dude!

At least like Shane said, the mis fires were fixed at least. haha

Re: My Talon
 

I might have this fixed on sunday, definately before brainerd. Hopefuly the head doesnt have some big ass hole lol.

Re: My Talon
 

Sell it and get a Celica... I got no problems ;)

Re: My Talon
 

^He also has an evo?
