Re: My 95 talon
 

Thats weird, I was literally just looking at this manifold right before I looked at this thread. I have seen one before, it looked alright, but a few people weren't really impressed with the quality. There could be a few good welders in the state that could make you a better manifold, but at the price it should be a pretty decent manifold.

Re: My 95 talon
 

Chris said they didn't wanna prototype it. Lol.

Re: My 95 talon
 

I was told by a few guys at MAP, that manifold makes turbos smoke because oil gets past the exhaust seal because the turbo is diagonal. Although I've never had any experience with one.

Re: My 95 talon
 

I guess we will see ;)

Re: My 95 talon
 

Looks like it should be on a drag only care anyways, so a little smoke shouldn't matter. :)

FFM is the new trend for 2012, like the top mount was '09-'10.

They looks hot!!

Nick, check out the white 2G that STM did, its sick.

Oh because Jim loves that car and didn't want to sell it.

Re: My 95 talon
 

FFM was the trend for Hondas and Evos a couple years ago. Nice way to ruin a motor on a street car by sucking in sand all day long.

Re: My 95 talon
 

You should link it.

As far as Jim being sad he'll still be able to drive it!

Re: My 95 talon
 

Just a heads up.

Re: My 95 talon
 

Forward Facing seems sketchy for the street unless you can run a good filter on it still.

It will eat a lot of dirt fast, screens only keep it from failing catastrophic. They do nothing for longevity.

just a bit of dirt will eat those blades up and wear them down quickly and then all that shit goes in the motor.

Strictly drag car then its OK, but no way you don't roll that on the street. :D

Re: My 95 talon
 

Thanks I appreciate it. If it does see MN roads I'll find a way for a filter

An fittings for oil cooler.

Re: My 95 talon
 

Are you sure that car was running on E85? ;)

It's been years since I have seen those rods and pistons. Check the wiseco's skirt area to pin boss area for cracks. These are not HD pistons and they are some of the first 2.4 design.

Re: My 95 talon
 

Jim thats why I posted up pics, figured its been a while! LOL I looked it over and from what I could see they looked fine. John (pushit2.0) is gonna check everything over and install he new crank, rod bearing, main bearings and rings. So if he said there bad Ill be getting rods and pistons. BTW the walls in the block still look new!

Carnage! Not really

Re: My 95 talon
 

what happened?

Re: My 95 talon
 

Jim thinks it possible I put a stress crack in it, from my 110 mph corn field adventure. Then when I got it all back together, I took it out for some fun runs, heard what I thought was a rod bearing. Took oil pan and tranny off and the flywheel rocked like a wheel bearing check on a tire. This is what I found. So I cant really exactly tell you what happend, just a theory.
