This has been my project car over the winter, but I just got a 350Z and so plans have changed. Here is the deal;
1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 5spd
287,XXX km on the body
AC works great
Power windows, locks, rear defrost etc. (All options)
Turbo has no shaft play.
New battery.
New air filter.
New oxygen sensor.
New front axles.
New floor mats
New shift boot.
Aftermarket CD/MP3 player.
Installed a JDM motor and tranny (said to have less than 45,000 miles) this winter. So far 2200 km since the swap and everything works good. The engine has the Cyclone manifold, which is currently set with all runners open so it is like the normal intake manifold. I have also run with just the long runners open and it makes quite a difference in the bottom end (way more torque). With a RPM switch and solenoid you can get more torque in the bottom and keep the power top end. The cyclone will really help spool up large aftermarket turbos.
There are a few things that should be done to the car in my opinion;
1. Input shaft seal on the diff leaks. I have put in some Lucas oil which is suppose to help the seal swell and seal, but it probably should just be changed.
2. The oil return line from the turbo leaks a bit. Just four bolts to take out and replace the gasket that mates with the bottom of the turbo with some RVT sealant and it will be fine. Its not a big deal I just was going to wait for a oil change to do it.
3. I never changed the timing belt and balancing belt, it has the one that was on it from Japan. The belt looked good when I inspected it, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to do it fairly soon. I was going to wait a year (or until I got my racing cams).
4. The throwout bearing on the clutch is a little noisey sometimes. If you change it out might as well do the clutch too.
5. There is some rust on the hood and front quarter panels as you can see in the pictures. The passenger door has rust and even a little hole in it. The one tail light plastic piece is broken but it does work. The paint on the back half of the car is surprisingly good, even the DOHC Turbo AWD stickers are mint.
I live out in the country, about 40 minutes from Red Deer. I would be willing to drive to Red Deer if someone is serious and wants to see it. I am asking $4500 and no GST of course. PM me and we can set something up.
Oh and I am not parting out, or interested in low balls etc.
Thanks for the interest.
