Update: Spring 2006 Options

[turbohcar]

In an effort to repel those itchy keyboard finger posts, lets talk about something constructive. What are your plans in 2006? what are your goals? with which car? and what are doing to get there right now?




Me? I'm working on the Talon again. I took it apart again in late December. You would think that after three years of working on it without driving it would make a guy go crazy, NO. You ask why I took it apart? To make it faster. Man cannot live on just a basically stock car alone. Therefore, plans are in the making to build something different. This something different will be based around the stock motor, until it blows up (knock on wood). Goals include making a street worthy track monster that will run quicker than the average bear on the stock turbocharger (for now).

Right now, I'm not doing anything. I am however, going broke on go-fast parts. These parts include but aren't limited to:

Eprom ECU
GM MAFT
fuel tank-to-filter line
Hi-flow fuel filter
Full Throttle AFPR
3in turboback exhaust
2.5in intercooler pipes
Supra SMIC
780cc injectors

and some misc. maintenance mods.

How about you?

Well im looking to get my car running right now. I bought a bum 6 bolt motor to put in my late 92 talon and now im rebuilding it. I went with a set of arias pistons on the stock 1G big rods, Clevite Bearings, ARP's all around and a Cometic head gasket. The head was rebuilt recently so ill just re use it. Bolt on's are an internally gated PTE 50 trim turbo ( Ill sell it for an internally gated buschur 20G), 650cc injectors, Buschur front mount IC and pipes, 3" exhaust w/ high flow cat, GM MAS and Translator, 2G exhaust manifold, 3000GT Fuel Pump (ill go bigger eventually) and rewire, Adjustable FPR ( probably an Aeromotive), 90 air to oil cooler, Accel 8mm plug wires, NGKBPR7ES plugs, Gabors Feramic clutch (looking for a 2100 lb pressure plate) and a 1G BOV.

I did a scratch hone on the block tonight and it came out pretty good. there are a couple of scores but nothing I can feel with my finger nail. Next step is to get the new piston ( 1 piston had a burn spot in it ) on the rod and have the other 3 cleaned, then I have to put the new rings on and bearings and then its re assembly time.
