i got my tranny and t case if you need something now

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I ordered transfer case input and output seals today. I'm also going to do the vfaq slip yoke leak fix.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Is this sucka tuned yet? I wanna come check it out one of these days

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

not quite yet, but getting closer. I pulled the lower timing cover today to fix a oil leak. It was the top bolt of the front case seeping oil, I sealed the threads, torqued it a little tighter. I also fixed the transfer case leak this past week. Just getting the last bugs worked out, Ill be setting up a time at db really soon.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Drove down the street today for its first wash since I got it. Took some pictures afterwards, still waiting to get tuned.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice and clean! Intake your next mod?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Im gonna get it tuned as is, and drive it for the rest of summer/fall. Then over winter I'm thinking Ill upgrade from this 14b, upsize injectors, and switch to speed density.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Just found this picture, it was a couple weeks ago when I put in a new LF output shaft seal and new transfer case seals.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Love it! Just drive it and have fun. A little tuning to make sure everything is healthy and some miles is all this thing needs!

Where are you located again? I'd love a ride sometime if it ever works out!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yeah for sure, im off of 62, just north of the airport

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice job! It's cool to see that some people can still put shells back on the road. :thumbsandtoesup:

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Thanks, I've put a lot of hard work into this. I'm considering selling this if anyone is interested.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Today I installed a rear strut tower brace, cleaned the bottom side of the hood. Took some pictures. I've been driving this to work the past couple days. I've put about 500 miles on it since assembly.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

That makes me miss it a small amount now. I'd still like to get to see it, you should pm me your # again, I lost it when my phone went kaput a few weeks ago.

I always wanted to paint those wheels bronze since they were my backup wheels just to see how it would look.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I was thinking of having them powder coated black, bronze would look nice though, didn't even think of that.

Today I aligned the talon, it was way off, I'll post a picture of the printout soon. Drives way better now. Also, found 1 of the u-joints on the driveshaft has some play. Im going to swap it with my other driveshaft sitting in the garage, it has good u-joints. I also noticed a lot of backlash in the rear diff, and a howling noise around 50mph. Im going to swap driveshafts to see if it improves otherwise I'll be looking for a replacement rear LSD.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Should get some driveshaft bushings as well, you'd be surprised at how solid it makes everything feel.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Alignment print-off, handles great now, all the eccentric bolts turned like butter.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

So I just changed the rear diff oil. The magnetic drain plug had a quite a bit of metal shavings, but definitely not the worst I've seen. The fluid was pretty thin, very dark and didn't smell like gear oil at all. With the fresh 75w90 and some limited slip supplement, I'm hoping my "howling" noise improves or goes away completely. I'm going to keep daily driving it, so far about 700 miles on it since the initial assembly of the car. I'm also hoping to get the cash together so I can bring it down to DB for a tune.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I'm assuming you're talking about the 2 driveshaft carrier bearings, my plan is to replace those with the new u-joints for sure.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yep, get the solid ones for evos, they fit dsms too and are a good upgrade.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Not the carrier bearings but the actual mounts that connect the chassis to the strap thats on the carrier bearings. Nice improvement when done with rear diff mount bushings as well.

Eff this car is looking good!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Ill do both the carrier bearings, all the u-joints, and the strap to chassis mounts. This sloppy rear diff is pissing me off, tons of gear backlash and howls on decel.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I installed a deck I had laying around, I also chopped the stock antenna off and installed this powered amplified antenna on the interior. I got it at Orielly's for $18. It looks way better without the long stock antenna, and works great too.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

So today I hit the 1000 mile mark since initial assembly of the Talon, I changed the oil and installed new Bosch Evolution wiper blades. I even got a new one for the rear. Looks like I need a car wash again. I'm also throwing in another pic of the new antenna.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

NICE!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yeah they are nice blades, some places charge over $25 per blade. I got them for about $8 each.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Installed the speed density setup, I still need to hide the wiring, and mount the MAP securely to the firewall. Pushit2.0 did a great job welding on the IAT bung for me. With SD the car runs better than it did with the 2g mas. Having another member do some street tuning for me next week.

Also going to be installing my electronic boost control solenoid soon, been pretty lazy though.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Reckless DSM'er no jack stands !? Anywhoos getting work done good job!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

haha yup, I used to have a set of 4. oh well

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Are you going on the cruise? I hope to be, Im assembling a 2.3 stroker right now.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Unfortunately I wont make it. My gas tank leaks if I fill it over 3/4 tank, and I doubt Ill get a different one in by then.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

With the SD setup, I wanted to get rid of the 2g MAS without running filterless. This is what I came up with in a hurry, it will do until I find/make a nicer pre-turbo intake/filter. Looks kindy goofy with that filter idk. I also wanted to keep my BOV recirculated.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Swapped the OE looking tan ISC for a good black ISC today.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Today I installed a Ingersoll Rand boost solenoid from Ecmtuning. The boost control function on Ecmlink is badass! Im still tweaking the base duty cycles, once I get that dialed in well I can enable the error correction feature. Just gotta wait for traffic/rush hour to end so I can make some 3rd/4th gear pulls. Being able to fine tune boost levels throughout the RPM range and in different gears is awesome. And for $45, thats cheaper than any good name brand MBC!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice, I don't know a whole lot about ECMlink, but that sounds like it's the route to go

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Sweet! That is really cheap. Boost by gear sounds like it could be nice too, more for fwd or higher powered cars, but nice to have regardless

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

My starter solenoid has been causing an intermittent no start, so I swapped it with a spare starter I had. Also, I've had to add coolant a time or two in the past few weeks, pressure test revealed a small leak on the heater hose, just had to tighten the clamp. Almost 3k miles since assembly, its been a great daily driver except the starter recently acting up.

Since I can get Blizzaks for 50% off store cost and I can mount and balance for free, I'm going to be getting a set soon and hoping for snow. Im going with the LM-60s they have a H speed rating. The WS70 is a T.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

That is badass. Nice work.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Saw you in traffic the other morning :)
