There's only 1 electric supercharger that I'd trust to perform and this isn't it. | | | 05-24-2006, 04:21 PM | #17 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | I can't believe you guys are still talking about this. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 05-24-2006, 06:58 PM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by DJ_AutoX i actually know a guy who bought one for his car (early 90's talon) and he installs it right, its ok for like a week, then it suddenly just eats the fan in the turbine, and sucks peices of it into the intake valve.

Arnt talons the co-develpoed eclipses that are all wheel drive and turboed? That would suck to have a car like that destroyed. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 05-24-2006, 09:17 PM | #20 | doesn't care about you.

They are a dime a dozen and most commonly referred to as DSM (Diamond Star Motors). __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 05-24-2006, 09:19 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 | Im starting to look for a project car and decided to give those a look because of the turbo, if I cant find a reasonable E30. Dusten, do you think a turbo talon would be a good project car? I know you work with jap cars. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 05-24-2006, 09:36 PM | #22 | doesn't care about you.

I think the gen 1s are strongest. But again, I'm the wrong person to ask about this. If you want to cheap turbo project, buy a honda and put a turbo on it. For less than $5k you can have a 225hp honda (and that includes the price of the car). __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 05-24-2006, 10:25 PM | #23 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | or, u can even ship a jap motor and turbo it. And waste 6k at most, look at 240+ hp. | | | 06-02-2006, 07:26 AM | #24 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 | never buy a 94-96 eagle talon or a mitsu elcpise. the have "crank walk" and blow around 100-130k mi. experience howa****ty car is...then get BMW | | | 06-02-2006, 09:38 AM | #25 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Berkeley, CA Posts: 411 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti | I like that guy.
