  1. Which model evo?

     

    Also I highly recomennd buying a cable and evoscan if you plan on modding your evo .

     

    It's an evo8. I got a tactrix 2.0 from a buddy and just waiting on my mitsu reflash cable now. It's already been tuned by TPG just wanting to reset my idle correctly after replacing the IAC and also the check engine light from getting rid of the EGR crap.

  2. I'm actually down in the dayton area but no one locally seems to have either of these. I need to disable the EGR valve and solenoid on my Evo as well as reset the IAC steps and idle. If you would be willing to meet me halfway that would be even better but if now I'd drive up to you if you have one and would be willing to help.

     

    Thanks.

  3. No no bigger turbo yet, alum driveshaft some other small things.

     

    Yea, i'm doing a tuck on my car and shaving the firewall and what not. I want this thing to be super clean, it's going to take me a while but it will eventually get there.

  4. I met Jansens at quick rev when he was building his black evo

     

    Oh gotcha, yea the yellow car is his new evo. Nothing too fancy but it's getting some new goodies here in the next week or so.

     

    The red car is actually kind of mine and Jansen's project he bought it, then i took it after the engine he bought for it spun a bearing on start up. Then I decided I didn't want it so basically the engine and the seats in the car are mine, and the shell is his lol.

  5. You trying to get rid of the beater Talon?

     

    It's in the process of going back together right now. Should be running in a week or two. I'll let ya know once it's driving if it is going to stay or go.

  6. That's seems like a kinda small turbo for a 2.3 built motor or does that turbo make more power than i think?

     

    It made on a 2.0L 500+ awhp on a mustang dyno. I'm not looking to have a straight line car. I like to auto cross (took 3rd at the dsm shootout last year in my buddies evo, sweet brag!), just as much if not more than drag race.

     

    So the turbo will give me a better range for what I'm looking to do, which is the same reason I'm going with the stoker over the 2.0.

     

    I loved driving my buddy's evo that has a 2.0 w/ HTA 3586 it was just a little too laggy for the autox but that would change with the 2.3L. That's the one thing on my build I keep going back and forth on between the 3076 and the 3586.

  7. Do you have the evo brakes on yet if so how they fit

     

    They aren't on yet, people have put the front ones on with adapter plates, and people put the rears on the 2g's. I haven't seen the rears on a 1g yet but I'm sure someone has done it.

     

    I have the front ones waiting on getting some junk rotors to have Jansen fab me up some brackets.

  8. Ha yea mismatched wheels were from the previous owner. As for the project talon the plans are as follows...

    Thankfully I'm not going to cheap ass the nice talon like a lot of people do. Already have the entire build planned out every piece of the puzzle figured out, now just have to get the new baby to stop sucking all of my money!

  10. Wasn't sure exactly where to post this. I joined a long long time ago and never was very active. Figured I'd reintroduce myself before I just start popping up in threads trying to join the conversations.

     

    I currently have the following cars in my stable.

     

    90 Talon AWD has 23K original miles on the body. I bought it as a shell and have been very slowly putting it back together how I want to.

     

    91 Talon AWD it's the beater "fun" car. Just basic bolt on's exhaust, hard pipes etc.

    (both talons are in my sig)

     

    02 BMW 325i this is the regret. Bought this car used and have had the worst luck with it. Had more stuff break on this well maintained car than my beat on Talon's.

     

    98 VW Jetta this is the beater for the beater I guess. Got sick of paying stupid prices on parts for the bmw so bought me a cheap little 2.0L jetta to drive till I can get the BMW fixed to a point where I feel comfortable selling it.

  11. I'm your typical dsm guy had one in one shape or another since I was 16 so for the last 9 years or so. Just can't seem to get my self to branch away from the 4g.

     

    Tried the BMW things as a daily and that hasn't treated me so well (e46)
