It'll be tight but I might be able to have the Talon by the 4th....

Parts finally converging. Installed, tested, and broken-in enough to handle the interstate to/from Mitsu should be tight. But I'll be there with or without my wheels!

QUOTE (mitsu90 @ Sep 29 2008, 06:06 PM) 4 turbo's and 3 faulty ECU's At what point did the ecm's start failing? Was something changed electronically? A big stereo added? Have these ecm's been checked out? Have you gone through the wiring at all? What was the failure mode of the turbochargers? -------------------- Need a boost in the pocket book and with your health?

I talked to Jeff from dsmchips and he is 99% sure that all 3 ecu's fail due to bad caps.
as far as the turbo's the frank jr I killed by dropping something in it, replaced it with a 14b then a 16g then another 14b the last 3 turbos all failed with the nut falling off and destroying the wheel. -------------------- ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

3 turbos destroyed by loose nuts?? Wow! I might have a extra wheel if your looking at rebuilding the 14b...I'm getting pretty good at putting them together too if you need it rebuilt.

Its going to be close, but I should have my car done by Saturday. I just need to finish installing my HRC FMIC and replace the cracked oil filter housing. It might be a late night Friday, but it would be worth it if I can get it all done. I'm hell-bent on bringing my car this year!

My mom is finally considering picking up my new DSM so maybe I'll make the next event? (Which won't be for a while I imagine...)

It was a good time and I won a set of 17" wheels! But they're only 6.5" wide. I may put 225/50s on them for the winter on the Evo.
