what andy said. the 7 bolts (second gen) are known for crank walk under increased boost and when run too hard for too long. that being said the good 6 bolt main only came in the eclipse/talons from 90-92 i believe, the other 6 bolts have had crank walk (though it is less likely than a 7 bolt)

 

yea so i heard crank walk was a big issue with those engines. i just like how that body is shaped, its really sexy lol

 

lol yeah im not gonna lie, i like the body style too. especially the 97 and up. if you want one, i'd say either find one with a 6 bolt swap already done, or do the swap from the start

 

i saw 2 gsx's earlier tonight and i wish i could have found one when i was buying a car....it would have been soooo much fun

 

I've noticed several VWs with euro plates n decals saying "wtf is vtec?"...

Lil video I made for them..

LOL

 

very nice! im pretty much doing a similar setup. stock d16z6 with 30k on rebuilt motor looking to make atleast 220 on 10psi.

 

Yeah it just goes to show that quality parts are better, I made the 237 on 10 psi with quality parts and my friend made 235 on 14 psi with an ebay kit, if I turned my boost up to 14 I estimate that I would be somewhere around 275 whp if not more

 

does the tsi talon have the same set in their 97 and up?

 

for stupid drivers..
my car was parked for 3 days, within those 3 days it got hit..
hopefully insurance will pay for a repaint and some body work.

 

the eclipse and talon are the exact same drive-train wise and only differ in their body parts

 

235 on 14psi? ebay kit? stock motor? if so how reliable?

sucks dude. you got full coverage?

 

Stock motor with ARP's, He never had any problems with it, just got some money together and started buying better parts

 

how long have you been runninig it @ 10psi i been wanting to go boost for a while just torn between boost or b swap.

 

whys are people always torn up over boosted D or swapping a B?

do both and boost a B!

 

why would you waste your money swapping over to B series when you have a perfectly good D series that can reach your power goal that you're looking for?

 

i would suppose it depends on the goal and how its used

 

I have had it boosted for a little over a year

 

very nice. im pretty much on the same boat as your buddy with an ebay kit but im looking to pick up a t3/t4 garret 57 trim turbo. waiting on buyer to sell.

 

alrighty,

so back in march i went to the junkie and found a nice, good condition, 94/95 lip for my car. i paid 20 bux and walked out with it. i ended up dropping it off at a friends house until i had the opportunity to put it on, well, 2 days later it got run over by a tow truck (its a loooooooooooooong story) so, i now had a 2 piece lip



so last week i decided i was gonna just fix it and throw it on my car so i went to harbor freight and bought this plastic welding kit for $16:



last night my friend and i decided to set to work. we both know how to weld metal (kinda) but we have never welded plastic. it actually turned out to be pretty easy, the hard part was just getting everything to line up. basically you just melt the strips provided onto the plastic you're bonding. well, here is the finished product:







and our work station:



not bad for a redneck and a ricer imo. sorry for the cell pix and the low lighting

 

Speaking of lip. I really wanna get one but Idk which would look best on my car. Leaning toward mugen replica.

 

i think the lip you were showing me was the spoon lip, get that one
