Re: 1991 talon IS ALIVE
 

on 03/08/10 at 8:04 pm it started up with a morning moan and then growl
i have a video will post .

1 issue tho

oil pressure is low im thinking oil pump is bad it sits on L at idle then when its brought up to about 3000 rpm it gets to the start L operation range and tops out there i have a manual oil pressure Gage but its not hooked up due to the turbo using that hook up.

Connect the aftermarket gauge in the spot that the factory gauge goes in. Having an aftermarket gauge is much more useful than the crap stock gauge.

I still have that manifold for you. Also the HXs aren't all that great I had one.

Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project
 

i made some progress tucking wires and cleaning up the engine bay got the turbo back on and it dont smoke so thats good i changed the oil feed line to the head changed the oil drain to high temp silicone hose all i got till i can get the braided line got my cooling fan back in pulled the ac out


what dose it mean when you have the front of the car up in the air and you can spin 1 tire and the other tire dont spin right away takes about 4-5 turns for it to catch then the other tire it spins the opposite direction im trying to pinpoint what is bad the viscous or the center diff or both ?
