My Talon

[jwarriner]

It's my third one, first second generation though.

1996 Talon TSi AWD

6-Bolt Swap (beefier engine from the previous generation)
Forced Performance FP1 Cams
Ported Exhaust Manifold
Ported Evo III 16G Turbo at 20psi
Full 3" Exhaust
Front Mount Intercooler
DSMLink ECU
PLX Wideband O2 Sensor
660cc/min Fuel Injectors
255lph Fuel Pump
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
ACT 2600 Clutch
4-Spyder Center Differential
Pulling 32lb/min (about 320hp)

Right now I'm having some trouble getting the car to perform at the drag strip. I can't nail the shift to second at full throttle, it won't go into gear. But my ECU has a clutch cut rev limiter, I just need to wire it in, set it up with the laptop and then get used to its operation and this should clean up my shifting. I'm hoping for 105mph trap speeds on 91-octane at 6000ft. Then I get bigger injectors, switch to E85, turn up the boost and shoot for low 12s.

Buddy of mine has a first gen Talon AWD. We swapped cars for a few days,fun car,but you could really feel the weight. I was fun feel the rush on boost. Pulled quite a bit harder than the Lebaron turbo I had.

My car is 3080 with some weight reduction. My old 1G was 3030 with similar weight reduction. I still have the A/C compressor in place even though the rest of the system is removed. Also have the stock seats, wheels and airbags. There's some room for improvement on the weight, including for the driver.
