another DSM

[Yngvar]

I bought a 91 Eagle Talon TSI http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa268/yngvar_album/DSC00569.jpg
Then right away my ECU took a **** because of the caps leaking. Sent it off got it back and the car ran much better. Next problem my header cracked so I had to find some thing to replace it with and when putting on a manifold why not but on a new turbo.http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa268/yngvar_album/DSC01456.jpg
new garrett next to the cheap ebay turbo that came on the car. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa268/yngvar_album/DSC01460.jpg

[srt-4_uk]

Now with every thing bolted up I can't shut my hood because the waste gate is to big.

Sounds like a job for a Milwaukee Sawzall

[Yngvar]

I think a little work with the hammer and hood will shut fine with a big as dent

How much boost do you run?

[ali]

so far 15, which isnt much.

[roo]

so far 15, which isnt much.

In my experience and others from research they don't seem to hold up well under higher boost. I know I was running in to issues as low as 26 psi with it pushing coolant. After going through 3 of them I decided to ditch Cometic. I know stock ones will hold more than that as long as the tune is good and are more forgiving on the surface prep which is why I was really disappointed with the Cometic. It seemed like a downgrade.

I have heard good things about the mitsubishi mls gaskets.

[roo]

Not saying cometic's aren't good in other applications, I just haven't been impressed with them in the 4g63's.

[gsxtasy]

I have heard good things about the mitsubishi mls gaskets.

'tis what I use, can't complain. Has held many 30+psi runs.

[DSMMIKE]

ive always ran a cometic and is holding up to 24psi nicely atm

[Burntz]

so I noticed a dirty engine bay with the head off

Then a powerwashed semi clean engine bay with the head off.


.. did you power wash your engine bay with the head off? I really hope not.

[Yngvar]

its called duck tape fixes all your problems

[Yngvar]

Finally the car is running and now it has a bad exhaust leak between the head and manifold. I think the shitty turbonetics manifold is warped. Also found out that the engine has been rebuilt recently and was bored 20 over.

[Yngvar]

My old o2 housing was leaking and it was running 3in pipe into a 2.5in flange so I thought I would try and make I new one. I know I suck at arch welding.

[ali]

take a grinder and clean up the welds

[Yngvar]

I did that but then I had leak

[flawlessTSI]

at least its smooth on the inside of the o2 houseing.

[Yngvar]

Well I finally got my car on the road for americruise and it ran great and I love the car. Then the DSM curse struck me down when my motor mount broke into peaces. So I ordered some new ploy ones, and I still need to figure out my ignition break up issue. When I tried Kelvins ECU the car ran perfect and then I tried DSM Mikes old ECU and my car ran worse then ever so I don't know what to do now.

[Yngvar]

Finally fixed the ignition break up issue. It was in the wiring harness were the previous owner cut the **** out of it and used crimp connectors to put some of them back together and others were just taped together. So I pulled the dash out, removed the harness, and soldered all the wires that were cut back together. Also removed a bunch of random wires from under the dash that had no point. The car now needs to get the injectors tuned in since I put some 1000cc's in and it should be good to go.

[Kelvin]

welcome to 2 years ago you mofo

[Yngvar]

Finally got around to clean out my tree line and sent it off for scrap. So that's the end of that wiring night mirror hack job. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa268/yngvar_album/IMG_0585.jpg

[C.J.]

Seemed like a clean shell.

[flawlessTSI]

Like

[Yngvar]

Seemed like a clean shell.

It didn't have rust but it had been side swiped, and had front end damage from an accident before I got it. Also every body panel looked like someone hit it with a hammer, the inter is shot, and smells like rat ****. Can't forget that the previous owner hacked the **** out of the wiring in the car which was 90 percent of my problems I had with the car. Garret will be getting the engine out of the car an I hope it goes to sever him well because that was the best thing about this car and the mods that came with it.
