Project break the bank: 90 AWD Talon
"1990 Eagle Talon AWD, Black and Silver, ONLY 47,000 Original miles still has new car smell, ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST." I immediately wrote down the number, switched from a computer to a phone (damn internet cafe') and called the guy. He said that he bought it from the original owner and had never driven the car other than to bring it home (about 5 miles) I told him I was in Iraq and that I was 99 percent positive I wanted the car. I asked him to send me as many pictures as he could and that I would call him after I received the pics. I had the pictures in under 30 minutes. After looking at the pics I knew I had to have it. I called him back and told him I wanted the car, but my parents were on vacation so it would be about a week before anyone could come for it. He said no problem, I got his name and address to send him 500 dollars to hold the car. I then called my parents who informed me that they had ended their vacation early and were only an hour away from his house. I called the guy back, my parents pick it up that night!!! The rest as they say is history. So here is a bit of history on the build. Originaly this build stared out as a 550 hp build. I had a turbo made from bullseye power bought a few other items like an act 2600 etc. I then contacted Ron Shearer about making me a manifold for the turbo. At the time Ron was not really making T3 manifolds. After talkin with Ron I changed my goals and we came to the conclusion that this turbo was just not going to do the job. We decided to go with a Garrett GT42R. After doing much research and realizing just how much power could be made with that turbo I was all in. I quickly went from building a 550 hp car to a 650 hp car then to what I am building today..a car that should make well over 900 hp off the bottle. I started buying 1600 cc injectors, AEM EMS, sold the parts I had already bought and just kept moving forward. I contacted John Shepherd about building me a transmission. I wanted a stage 3 but after talking with John we decided to go with a doxbox transmission. I then started explaining that I needed a clutch and was not sure what to use for such high hp levels. John gave me a few choices and explained the strengths and weaknesses of each. The only weakness of the tilton was the price. I was in the mind set that if I was going to build this car I would do it right. I then stated that I needed axles and a driveshaft and I had questions about the strength of the transfer case and a cylinder head. So about 16,000 dollars later I had a dogbox,tilton carbon clutch, driveshaft shop axles both front and rear, drive shaft shop driveshaft one of John's transfer cases and a Fox Lake cylinder head. I contacted Buschur Racing about things like the short block, msd ignition etc and they were very helpful as they have always been to me. After getting a good parts list complete I started to assembly. I am going to stop ranting for a while and post an up to date mod list and some pics. Mods: Buschur Stage 3 Block Crower rods JE pistons Buschur racing FMIC New style Buschur racing boost controller Dual Tial 44mm wastegates Dual Tial Bovs Custom Grind Crane cams Magnus Motorsports intake manifold AccuFab 75MM throttle body Fox Lake Head AEM Wide band Nitrous Oxide Systems Direct port pro fogger Tilton Carbon/Carbon clutch Shep Racing Dogbox transmision Driveshaft Shop Stage 5 axles Shep Racing transfercase upgrade Driveshaft shop alluminum driveshaft Shearer Fabrication Top mount manifold Shearer fab 3.5" V band turbo back Exhaust Shearer 5" intake Shearer v band intercooler pipes Ceramic coated manifold,downpipe, turbine housing and dump tubes GT42R FIC 1000 CC primaries FIC 1600 cc secondary injectors Weldon 2345 fuel pump Weldon dial a flow fuel pump controller 3rd Gen RX-7 Wheels Dul piston brake upgrade Aem EMS KYB AGX Eibach pros I am sure there is more but it's just so hard to remember. If some asks what I am running for this part or that part I can tell you but to make a list is just kinda hard. |
