Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Do you still need those turbo water lines?

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Lets see some pics, Tom!

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

so whats left?

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

I hope the back seat works well for ya ;)

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Whats left.... I still need to do the following:
- Get the correct piston
- install all of the pistons
- put everything back together, Head, turbo, oil pan, tcase, timing belt, FMIC.
- Bolt up the rear diff
- Install thermal exhaust
- Start car, and adjust ignition timing.
and drive.
But all that is waiting on a piston that is sitting 1400th in line at mahle to be created. :1smiley.php:
Ill get some pics up today of everything. :)

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Gay, so all you can do is put the rear end in for now and catback.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

pretty much yes. and its a turbo back exhaust with a test pipe. there really is nothing else to do.
I do have to locate another HID ballast though. prolly do ebay.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

You could always find something to polish! :lol:

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

just paid 17.00 for a new Xenon HID ballast. yay. So that should be here next week. ill mount them and that portion will be done.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

lol i think ive polished everything i can polish. Even the grills on the door interiors that go over the front speakers got a brushing to take away the rust that was on them. and took off the paint as well bling bling.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

*Ahem.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Dude you are going to get banned again, post pics already!!

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Here you are, updated pics.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

BTW the shift boot will not be staying black and red.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Why not? I hear they add mad horsepowerz y0!

lol @ redneck B&M shifter :rollinglaugh:

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

+1 take that hillbilly shit out of the car.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Get some pics of the bling speaker covers.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

its not a B&M its a HURST (has the logo imprint on the front of it.)
I actually am going to try it out. Shifting should be much more faster because of the way the arm is positioned and able to use all four fingers to pull it down, or use the base of the palm to push it up. I thought it was gay at first but then played with it a little and it seems much more comfortable shifting.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Ya, you'll see your wrist will hurt, it's not natural at all. twist your wrist, and hold it, and try to powershift. Get a ball, weighted like mine, or even the stock evo ones..call it a day.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

When you sit in a sofa chair and have your arm on the arm wrest, do you usually cup your hand like your holding your shift ball or do you put the palm of your hand downward. I put my palm downward, seems much more natural to me. we will see.. its only a shift knob, and can be switched out with very little effort.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

I always have my palm faced downward when I shift....

Anyways, Tom since you're too lazy to figure out your monster displacement with your killer .040 overbore, your engine is 1999.3cc vs. 1997.4cc stock. lol

Stock= 1997.4
.020 over= 1998.4
.040 over = 1999.3
.060 over = 2000.3

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

DAMN! Your torque is going to be insane now.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Hmmmm... . choices. Ghetto Fab Vs. Thermal....

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Im 90% sure you are wrong there.
I looked it up here and this is what i found.
I have 86mm pistons therefore i belive my displacement would be 2045cc

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Thermal dumbass.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Use the good non getto one on the car and sell me the getto on cheap as long as it is 3in so I can chop it up and put it in the new mirage

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

^Perfect. THere you go tom help yourself and help a local.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

I think its like 2 3/4. If you want it its yours for 10 bucks. LOL.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Pistons are on their way. Should be here in the next couple days. and then the fun begins.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

I hate the waiting game, boo.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

I had two DSMs once. Neither ever ran. Good luck.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Here's to hoping you don't get a Chevy 350 piston on your doorstep in a few days!!

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Hahahaha too funny.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Scheides, i got tired of waiting and posted up a WTB on the dsmlink forums. Two people replied, one of them with an insane deal. Got a refund from map (No bad juju with MAP, totally not their fault at all.) 4 slightly used mahle pistons for $165 shipped. Cant beat that.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

PISTONS HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!!!!11!!!
And they are the correct ones. Finally. All of them look in good shape, just a little cleanup on the top sides and we are good to go. !

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Don't put them in upside down or backwards.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Post up pics of your mildly dented crank.
