That's right... I'm back. So what if it's just another broke ass DSM cluttering up my garage right now? It won't be for long.... I promise.

Hiding deep in the corn fields of Iowa, emerging as if from thin air. At first sight, appearing to be only an illusion, a dirty but elaborate trick put on by the spymaster himself. A double take assures me that it is real, as real as a heart attack. Straight, sleek lines, a low stance… as if ready to pounce on the first prey that walks by. The time is coming soon enough…

Ok, first off… 8 hours in a 85 3/4 ton 4x4 is hell on a person. The rewards were well worth the pain though. What exactly is that you ask? My new project…. DSM KLR 1.

Start with a cherry dark green 1993 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD with a stock 4 bolt rear and two piston caliper big brakes. Add a six bolt motor, a full GAB suspension, 2g wheels, 3” turbo back exhaust, relocated battery with cutoff switch, Greddy turbo timer, Walbro 255 fuel pump, and bake at 350 for 1 hour….

Goal is to turn this car into one of the nicest looking and deadliest street Talon’s in the Peoria area. This is the car I’ve wanted ever since I sold my 93 GSX almost 5 years ago now. A lot of talk, I know. I’m full of talk… this time I’m ready to do some walking also… hopefully, if all goes well it will be at slo-pony day in May.

Pics to follow…

Well... the plates were originally ordered for my 96 cobra, but I never even got to put them on that car before I sold it. Put them on the Cavi as a joke, and to make sure I kept them.

Now it's kind of a reminder of all the car's I've slaughtered in my quest to get here and now.

First order of business is to get it running. 720's will come later. I've got to sort though the boxes and see what else is missing. I know I've got some extra parts too, so those will probably be going up on the exchange and/or E-bay.

Got the head studs taken care of, still looking for the following -

Turbo - 14b or 16g
ECU 91-94 non-E-prom is fine

Also, if anyone has new gaskets or timing parts laying around they want to get rid of, let me know.

You want a DSM that will own the streets of Peoria, and your looking to throw on a 14b laugh.gif

Motors shot, big deal, time for some Ross/Eagle forged internals, bored block, ported and built head, 50trim or something bigger and ball bearing (3052), SMIM, 272 cams, fmic, dsmlink and 1000cc injectors....Ya know, something like that tongue.gif

Honestly, a 14b just won't cut it....Maybe for breaking in the new motor tho....

Folks have achieved lower ETs with a 14b than most of us will see in our efforts. Some people choose to find a better way to hit the nail rather than just get a bigger hammer. We call those "smart" people. Acheiving similar results with less money.

Sure, low 12's have been done with 14b's, I just misunderstood your goal...I kinda thought you wanted a Street 'killer' dsm, as even tho dsm's can run 12's on 14b's, right there your only matched up to stock ws6's/03 cobra's....If you want a super quick car after the rebuild, then by all means show us what you can do with the stock turbo...I plan on keeping this 14b until it can't take anymore (20psi range)

10's have actually been done with a 14b. I'll be happy if I get into the 12's with it, then it will be time to move on to bigger and better things.

This group is awesome... In about a week I think I'll have 90% of this laundry list wrapped up. Special thanks to Nate, kicks, and miami - I should have the ARP's, ECU, BOV, FPR & rail, clutch and turbo taken care of. I think I'm going to go fidenza on the flywheel... Goat, let me know when you get yours, I'm thinking of going the same route (E-bay).

Still looking for a BOV tube.

Also, I think I'm going to order a Topline rebuild kit and do the motor. I'm probably going to skimp a little on stuff like the head gasket and timing belt, with the intent of building a forged motor in the meantime. Mods will be minimal for a while, so I don't think I'll have tons of trouble. Who knows, may be eating my words in a few months. biggrin.gif Who has had motor work done recently, and where did you take your stuff?

I took my crank to be turned, and my flywheel to be machined at Kalina Machine on Main in Peoria. Did a good job and turnaround was quick (24 and 4 hours)

I'll be putting everything together myself, just need a machine shop. I know there have been a few that have had bad luck at Kalina, but convinience is winning out on this one. I'm probably not doing anything more than a stock rebuild now, so I'm not too worried. Thanks for the input everyone!

I've had the flywheel for a while now. Looks to be top-notch. Kicks and I were looking at it, and he noticed a revision in the machining on the main body that should help to prevent any breaking around the bolt ring in the center. Go for it, buddy!

I'll probably do that next week!

Couple other issues that have arrisen that require parts. This WAS an ABS car, the ABS unit was missing, so I've decided to switch over to non-ABS. I found a non-ABS proportioning vavle, but need the brake lines that go from the valve to each front wheel.

Also need a passenger side front A/C line, and a steel front bumper - bumper cover was being held on by 3 zip ties and 2 bolts... blink.gif

Well, finally got around to pulling the motor apart last night to inspect the burnt piston better. Discovered that the damage went through the first layer of rings, and melted a good chunk of the side of the piston, and left some scoring on the cylinder wall. What's worse, the melted chunks found their way around the rest of the motor, leaving pits and scratches on most of the bearings in the motor. I'm pretty sure the block will need bored, and the crank may even need turned. sad.gif

Been in contact with the seller, and we are curently trying to work something out.

I do have a spare block and crank, but it's got some surface rust starting on the cylinder walls, not sure if it can be honed out or not at this point. Basically, with what I've got, I'm looking at a complete rebuild.

I'm starting to think at this point that the better option may be to find a running motor to put in it at this point, but no luck at this point finding one.

Why do I like these cars so much again? ph34r.gif

I feel your pain...I was just to swap some bearing and call it a day.
Ended up doing almost a complete rebuild..and now I need $300 in tranny parts.

I a little tired of mine right now too...the only thing that keeps me going is the promise of boost on the horizon!! biggthumpup.gif

If it's just surface rust, it may hone out, it's probably worth a shot.

Got the fidanza ordered yesterday around lunch time. Got a tracking number the same day! Seems like a really good place!

Now looking for some more parts to throw at it... let me know if anyone has this stuff!!!

3 gauge a-pillar pod
90 style oil cooler with lines and filter housing
2g MAS with intake pipe and filter
SAFC II

Realized the other day that the 1g MAS plug has already been replaced with a 2g one, so I figure I'll just go that route for now. It will give me some fuel control and better airflow, pleanty for the forseeable future.

Spent some time cleaning up the interior, it's really in good shape, minus one huge tear in the driver's seat. Also worked on removing some broken bolts for the front bumper that had been busted off.

Hey spy, if AWD DSM 1 doesn't want the gauges I might be interested in some/all of them. PM me a price if AWD DSM 1 passes...

Does that beast have some 550cc injectors in it already then? I noticed you posted that you had a 2G MAS, which will easily over-extend the measly stock 450's.

Well, brought home what hopefully will be the heart donor for the Killer. Yet to check the motor out to make sure it's ok, but I'm crossing my fingers. Also took care of the 90 oil cooler on my list. Hopefully have a 2g MAS and a Gauge pod on the way shortly. Still looking for a SAFC.... Hopefully the project will be picking up some steam in the next few days.... cool.gif

Here's a question for you... GM MAFT or 2g MAS and SAFC? Looks like price is about the same....

duuuuude, you want a mean street car for cheap ill tell you what I think you should do. One word. . . Stroker! More low end torque and with a e3 16G you could have one hell of a street car. And as far as machine shops, my buddy had his 4g63 stroker built in a shop in peopria because they were apparently the best shop in the country to have a stroker built at. Theyve apparently done hundreds of 4G63 strokers. If not then there is a really good machine shop here in st.louis that is doing my motor right now that is fairly cheap and doesnt have a 2 month long wait. There name is Allied Motors. Their number is 1-636-946-4747. Ask for Adam. He's done quite a few 4G63 motors.

What machine shop would that be? huh.gif

I know Precision in Bloomington has done quite a few strokers, but I haven't heard of a Peoria shop.

Not much progess, other than selling and buying some parts... picked up a gauge pod off e-bay... universal fit garbage. guess it will work for now. Also picked up a SAFC II just today. Looking forward to getting this thing on the road.... eventually. Got a lot of work to do between now and then... better get my rear in gear!

Got the 3rd motor apart, found metal chunks in the oil pan. I think it threw a t-belt in the past and they didn't bother to clean the oil pan out. It's going to the machine shop at lunch. Race is on to see if I can get this thing put together and dialed in before slo pony day.

Well, I think I'm getting close...

Went to install my 2g mas, 144 intake, and K&N and discovered the setup is about 3" too long to fit in the required space. mad.gif Hacked in a spare 1g mas for simplicity's sake temporarily. Anyone got a spare 1g K&N that I could borrow?

I guess that will save me from having to mess with the AFC for now, although I'm still going to try to install it, I just won't have to mess with it until I have some help tuning.

Well we know the motor is strong. I figured your first pass of 16.0 was decient on 20psi, no MAS, and 3 year old gas. She's a fun and BEAUTIFUL car. Thanks for the ride.

Other than that... 110 is really fun on the street in the morning commute! biggrin.gif

Well, after taking a week off, I decided to fix the clanking of what I thought was the driveshaft hitting the exhaust...


opps....


In reality it was the rear brake line bracket that was loose hitting the rear axle. blink.gif no wonder the brakes got soft... I'm sure that big hole in the brake line didn't help any!

Looking for a set of brakelines... probably go with stainless just for grins at this point. anyone?

Nope, just a regular pair, but they'll do the trick.

You need to have your head checked if you're considering putting used brake lines on a car you're going to drive hard. I know, I know, these are DSM's and it's tough to warrant spending 160 on brand new part when you can find something used for half as much, but gimme a f-ing break man, cough up the cash for a vital part that you know will get the job done.

Thanks for the offer Brett, but I think I'm going to get some stainless lines and be done with it. biggthumpup.gif

Stainless lines are on, fit very nice, very easy swap. Also got the stereo in, along with the turbo timer. Still need to get the 2g mas wired up and the SAFC before it's back on the road.

To emphisize a point made a while back, don't skimp on the wiring guys. I pulled probably 50 feet of hacked and unused wiring that had been added.... sparks flew several times as I found one that still had juice in it... plus two aftermarket relays that no longer served a purpose... what a mess!!!! wacko.gif

SAFC is wired up, stereo is installed, turbo timer in...

Plug in the ecu, flip the battery cutout back on... turn the key....



biggrin.gif

Still some miles to put on it to get this clutch broke in, but I've got a couple other tricks up my sleeve, should be an interesting SCDC.... wink.gif
