Re: Talon AWD turbo
Lets see why haven't I replied to this thread any sooner? Oh yes thats right, it was started and finished 3 years ago.
I must be a troll since I just come on here to talk shit, and don't own anything like a black/black 93.
Jer, I think you sir annoy the **** out of alot of people on here, and all over the net I run into you spreading misinformation here in the audio section, audizine, god knows where else. Up until know I've tried to be nice and let you go on, but the bull shit stops here.
Let us visit the picture you posted. I see 1g doing its thing stock suspension style, squatting the back end down on some 14-15 year old shocks. I see some 17" rims with what appear to be some crap tires, at one of the slowest tracks in America. Oh yes, I'm sure that a great recipe for some of the best 60' times a DSM has ever pulled.
Lets go back to my car for a second, at the time I was running a ****ing STOCK Garrett t-25, This turbo is referred to by many as the T-too small. The turbo I was talking about upgrading to at the time was the Garrett Big T-28, which is a totally different turbo.
http://linux.forcedperformance.net/...uct_Code=NTDSMFPBIG28&Category_Code=DSM-Turbo "the FP-Big28 pulled our full weight 99 GSX to an 11.82@119.3mph." Looks like the almighty Jer Doesn't know as much about turbos as he thinks he does.
lets touch on some other finer points from Jer.
-the 6 and 7 seven bolt blocks I was referring to, means the amount of bolts on the FLY WHEEL, not the number of bolts used on the main bearings. Hey, the VFAQ to the rescue for JER.
http://www.vfaq.com/mods/early-late-engine.html "how to tell the 6 bolt and 7 bolt motors apart"
-all US spec 1g dsm's came with auto seat belts. This was government mandated because the car didn't have air bags. Auto seat belts were dropped in 95 when the 2g rolled off the line with air bags for the passenger and driver. Only Canadian spec 1g cars came with out auto seat belts.
http://www.vfaq.com/mods/CDNbelts.html whats this, people converting to Canadian spec belts in 1g's? sure seems dumb to get parts from Canada if you could get the parts in the good ole USA.
-generally, "it had thicker walls that allowed for more porting and less cracking " would be considered a better exhaust manifold.
- the 7 bolt motor, 4 bolt rear end, and 2 piston "big" brakes all started at different points in 92 not 93. I was mistaken in quoting that only 2g's had the better brakes, and 4 bolt rears but it was just a joke intended from one dsm owner to another, not your whiny ass.
- will break on an annual basis sure seems a little off when my trans had 136,000 miles on it, bone stock took 40,000 thousand of those miles from me lanching it all the time (I would venture to say that I put 1000 launches on that trans in 4 years), 6 months of trick shift, 1 of those years running a bigger turbo and support modds, Toying with the stock ecu pulling timing after 5 seconds of power breaking to help boost, and is living on in another a/t dsm with no problems.
-2.5" vs 3" o2 housings and down pipes.
http://linux.forcedperformance.net/...reen=PROD&Store_Code=FP&Product_Code=O2FP3025 " No compromise in power was measured with the 2.5” unit over the 3”, 540whp at 27psi has been recorded with the 2.5” housing." Oh yes I'm sure my lowly sub 300 hp daily driver needed a 3" o2 housing and down pipe.
Please don't ever dig up one of my 3 year old threads ever again, just so you can spread misinformation.
For everyone else, I think they know I've earned the reputation of sticking up for Diamond Stars on this board. I personally don't like to see any quick car not get the respect it deserves, and it could be a touch of sympathy for the first and second nice cars I ever owned (at 1 point in time I did own 2 of them, and got rid of both to buy my ty).
