My names Kyle, I'm new here and this is my car. It's a 96 talon tsi awd in prism blue "rarest 2g color" with every option "still the only one I've seen with every option".
The car currently has 241,xxx on the odometer with about 26k on the motor.
The car has a few small mods including a walbro 255 fuel pump, manual boost controller, autometer boost and oil press gauges, hard intake pipe, 1g bov, candy blue powdered vc, mishimoto radiator cap, and 3g eclipse gt wheels "for now - one of the 2g gsx rims is bent due to a blown out tire". My thermal r&d exhaust will be here on monday, just ordered my 3" megan downpipe tonight and next week when my taxes come back I'll be getting a ported e3 16g and pte 680cc injectors. Maintenance includes oil change, new drivers side oem front curved control arm bolts, new tires, revised lifters, new brake pads all around, new rear rotors, new rear drivers side hub.

Hope you don't mind pics

Here's some pics when I first got the car:







A few after I cleaned it up and such:

More pics





And finally current "it needs lowered I know":

Looking good Kyle. Welcome to DSMCentral! and pictures are more than welcome.

Wow... 241k miles on the chassis! That thing is a survivor.

Thanks man. Yeah it is for sure,t he only rust on the car that I've seen is a probably nickel sized piece of surface rust on the pass side strut tower.. but other than that no other rust that I've seen.

Good looking 2g..

Welcome! Nice 2G.

Thanks guys.

I know it's not much of an update but I got my exhaust today. Here's a few pics.



I'm going to go visit my car tonight and try to at least get the old exhaust off.
Wish me luck lol.

I love my 3" exhaust.. You will love the sound.


Where is your car?

My car's in my grandparents garage right now, they're in Florida so I'm using it while they're gone.
Oh got a little work done tonight.. heres a teaser.

A few more

What was the old exhaust?

Stock exhaust with a fart can clamped to it lol. It came on the car.

Almost looked like the old dynomax muffler I had on the auto..

It could be the same kind.. I have no idea though. I figured it was some autozone special muffler or something lol.

I always liked the sound on that old dynomax the magna flow on the galant is a tad loud

Yeah the old muffler didn't sound bad at all for a bolt on.. but the thermal will sound a ton better.

Well got the hub off finally and got the new one on. Stopped at doing the ebrake drums though, gonna leave that for tomorrow lol.

yeah, that doesn't look like fun, lol

Oh Idk what you're talking about.. it was tons of fun! lol jk
It was a bitch to get off and it took awhile and alot of patience but we were finally able to pull it off.

Got my brakes all done and the wheel put back on tonight, now just to wait for a few odds and ends to come. "powder coated oil cap and valve cover bolts" and then the car will be drivable and I can drive it to Meineke to have the exhaust done.

Looks good man!

Thanks man. Finally got my upper dejon ic pipes and hks bov put on. Now I just need to find out where the thread tap went that got dropped into my motor.
Doesn't fit quite right.. but it will do for the time being.

thread tap in the motor? I'm pretty sure that's not good...

are you planning to setup your blowoff as a recirc setup? I only ask cause I see you're running mass air at the filter, and if you don't recirc you'll throw off your mixture. Not a big issue, will just run overrich coming off boost. (pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong) My understanding was that's why Mitsu ran recirc instead of BOVs

Yeah, when putting on the new vc 4 of the 14 bolt holes took a shit on me.. we got 2 of them re-tapped but upon doing the 3rd one.. the tap slid out and went down the oil passage in the head and I believe down into the oil pan.
I have the recirculation fitting for the bov but I'm going to cap the intake off and see how it runs without it. Some dsms run fine with unrecirculated bovs and some do not for some reason. My friend Daves runs fine though so I'm hoping I won't have a problem.

well the MAF ones are likely to have an issue, though it may not be a big deal. Running overrich doesn't really hurt too much, and it should only do so when the BOV is open. I think some DSMs are MAP based correct? those don't matter where you vent the air, as there's no meter. Can also vent to atmosphere if your MAF is after your BOV. just an fyi more than anything, in case it does run a little finnicky

DSM are air metered, not air pressure (MAP). They tend to go rich when the BOV blows off to atmosphere. I would think if the car is well tuned (12:1 AF) and not running at the stock blubberly rich (like 8:1 at WOT) that they come from the factory it won't be as big a issue.

Thanks for the clarification!

Barney gettin fed


Rolling shots my friend Dann took "lens hood got in the way for a few"

More 4G63's comming to life as the weather gets warmer. Great to see some action shots.

Hell yeah, thanks man. When am I gonna see your car out runnin around?

Thanks.
