Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

so today jahaan dude stopped over here as i was pulling my engine out and might upgrade my turbo setup my e16g is not looking too good its amazing what a 100 mi will do to a turbo it has shaftplay now and dident before when it was first installed and looks like it was eating something .. not too happy about that it had an air cleaner and everything was tight dont see how that would get chewed up

so going to try to upgrade to an fp green and an evo 3 mani

im having fun with my car anyone else working on there car this weekend ?

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

Trust me, if I had a car to work on, I wouldn't be on here right now! haha I've heard some great things about those FP Greens.

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

Don't let Jahaan Dude touch your turbo, or one you put on your car :)

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

whats wrong with jahann dude. ?

he is a great guy spent a few hrs over here today pulling apart my engine checking out the damage . ive seen a few pictures of the turbos he has built i know some people have there grudges here and there Ive heard all the story's as far as i can see he knows what he is doing everything he says makes perfect sense we going to be bringing my block out to motors by gosh
next weekend to get all cleaned up my e316 is sorta smoked not to happy about that . going to need a new wheel .

anybody that is knowledgeable on our engines and cars ill take any help .
i can do the work it will just take more time as i have to read more on how to do the work right by myself unless there is volunteer help available like jhann dude that is helping out . and i take that and will return the favor :)

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

If you're getting a real FP Green, have FP rebuild it, end of story. It's worth the extra $150 to have a real company do it, trust me. I've heard good and bad stories about jhaan, and never run one of his turbos personally, just that I have found it's good to have turbo companies rebuild their own turbos (past experience with other companies). BTW, you won't be getting 500whp out of a green, not sure if you're still shooting for that goal.

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

Jhaan (julian) is definitely a very cool guy to work/help you with. I've got about roughly 4,000 miles on his rebuilt e316g. It still pulls very strong.

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

Ive also heard good things from Jhaan dude. Making a post like this without details is kinda shady. you should really post details or put it in the good guy/ bad guy forum to get it worked out.

yeah its purple thought it would match my car ...

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

Looks like you should have spent more time painting the block. I see alot of over spray. Purple looks pimp though!

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

its crazy, all the people that have negative things to say cant even spend the time to spell my name right...its jhaan_dude...

i have spent alot of time helping put his motor together, following the books every step of the way. its been alot of fun working with someone who has a open mind on things and is more than willing to learn.

hopefully in the next couple of weeks it will be completely installed and ready to go out and get tuned. just cant wait to hear it fire up!

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

I'd say that as long as he spin balances the shafts/wheels up to a high enough RPM, then I would trust his rebuilds. Be surprised if he did that though.

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

balance shafts are gone dude

thing turns over really nicely

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

he meant the turbo parts, and yes every turbo that has signs of contact to the housing is rebalanced and cleaned up. if anyone wants balance sheet for the turbos i build i have no hesitations as to providing them

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

How about everyone gets off Julian's case so he can buy my manifold. :)

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

lol thats good...

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

my engine is assembled cant wait to run it

ill have it in the car tomorrow jhann_dude let me use a spare turbo to get it running until my new turbo is done. will post more pictures

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

pretty sweet man and lookin' sweet. Julian is definitely A++++x2,000,000 when helping out. What turbo are you planning to get? I was going to say the FP 68HTA...but i see your 500 hp goal. good luck man!
