1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project

[scheides]

I've posted the info and links on how to tell what the turbo is by the stamp of the last two digets on the comp cover on here like five times, hit the search button punk! Looks like a 14b to me.

Was it sold to you as a 16g?

'Small 16g'

any 16g will have the 6-bladed comp wheel, not the 10+ like in the pic above. Sorry man, I'd ask for some cash back on that deal, ouch...then again, at this point maybe just say eff it and keep moving on it.

Yeah im just moving on. I got the car for $1500, Ive already put in a lot of money to get it running. Im not too worried about the turbo, my numbers on the dyno day may be really low though (not that they were going to be very high anyways. ) But its only to get a good baseline number for when the modding begins. So maybe a really low number will be a good thing
I just know that driving the freakin thing is going to be annoying until i get a lag monster on there.
Maybe at the track i could go for the 14b record. HA HA.

LOL like i told Kracka, Theres nothing like when shes spooling up and you start sinking into the back of the seat. Then when you reach the final boost level for a couple thousand RPMs, then it starts all over again when you change gears.
With smaller turbos, that sinking into the back of the seat doesnt happen very long, and your already at the top of the boost and leveling off. like a quickie.

Care for a ride in my car? Might change your mind 4000+rpm of powerband can be quite a lot of fun!

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Yeah, that turbo you have is a 14b.

[goodhart]

Hey just think, if you figure out how to compound about 4 more of those together you could test the limits of those fancy rods you have!! lol

Ageed! 4-5k RPM of powerband just can't be beat for a street car.

[turbotalon1g]

Hell yeah, powerband beat a lot of numbers on the street and was fun as hell to drive.
But then you won't be cool on the internet or at meets when you have a little turbo (

[tpunx99GSX]

Yay Parts came in today and picked them up. Ill be starting on this beast tonight, and hopefully have her up and running by the weekend. if not earlier.

[turbotalon1g]

+1

I keep checking this thread for pictures of this said polished manifold you keep speaking of! haha

I like the shiny head! Looks sexy!

[tpunx99GSX]

Yeah, there has been no progress on the shiney manifold. at this point im not sure if there will be any. Ive gotten bored with it and with what has been happening in my professional life ive had trouble finding time.
But last night i made some good progress...
I assembled the rod and piston with the rings and all. Put the new bearings on the rod, lubed them up with lubriplate, and installed it. Then i thought about how easy that was so i decided to pull the rest of the pistons so they were out of the car, cleaned them up, put the new bearings on and installed them as well. Everything is torqued down nicely at 38 ft-lbs (thanks TKR for the quick responce on how much to torque them).
When i was loosening the bolts on the rod caps i was shocked. From the feel of it, the bolts had to be under 15 lbs of torque. :O So im glad i caught it in time and didnt half ass it and replace just the piston and let her buck.
Tonight i will be cleaning up the intake mani by hand and hopefully will get to put the oil pan on and possibly if there is time get the head installed and torqued down.
Question for you 1g guys:
When you take off and put on the head do you usually install with the intake manifold attached? On my 2gs i always installed the intake mani after putting the head on. but then again its been a long time since i have had a stock intake manifold.

What did you gap the rings to? Also, do you have a ring filer or just file by hand?

I'd put the manifold on first, then attach the head. Especially if it's a stock manifold.

thanks for bringing that up. I got my question about the gaps answered by MAP and the shoutbox.
