@thedudewhoiskickass In 2005 I sent Chuck Norris a hand written letter asking him for help with my 1991 Eagle Talon build. Just days later a man on horseback arrived at my door with a sealed envelope. Inside the envelope was a small ziploc bag of genuine Chuck Norris beard clippings. Attached to the bag was a note that read: "Son, use my beard essence wisely. Love, your real father Chuck." I can't divulge to you how I use them to make my 4G63 make lots of power, but trust me, I do!

By the way remember me? I said I had a 91 gsx I was thinkin bout sellin? Well I did the smart thing and sold the family car, dumped the girlfriend and been workin on the DSM daily! Selling that thing would've been the dumbest move ever...
It's amazing how you get questions and or comments about this being fake yet you have a fully documented awesome website to back all your shit up... Keep on doin bro your cars sick
I'm just going to take a guess and say the door light has be rewired to show when the alcohol injection is spraying. It doesn't build enough boost in 1st gear to trigger whatever activation pressure s/he has programmed and cuts off between shifts as the BOV dumps the pressure in the intake momentarily shutting off the alcohol injection. Or at least that is what I would do.
@lordxathor Unfortunately it's just a bad door switch. Under heavy/prolonged acceleration, the "door ajar" dash light comes on and the interior lights come on, as if the door has been opened. I've actually grown quite fond of it from a comedic perspective.
@Cass0009 Thanks! The exhaust is 3" from the turbo then out to a Magnaflow muffler in the back. I'm running a Tial 40mm wastegate that is dumped to the atmosphere.
In all honesty, the door light looks like a shift indicator if you match the Revs/Shifting to it. Also, it looks like that DSM wants to push faster than 130mph :P
@lilficek Mine hasn't broken down. DSMs are not notorious for breaking down. They are, however, notorious for broke dudes buying one for $1500 with 175k miles on it, then bolting $5k worth of parts on it, then beating the tar out of it with a shitty tune to try and run 10s, then wondering why the car isn't reliable, when the basic maintenance and upgrade fundamentals have been completely disregarded.
fake..dyno...my gram's echoo wil do that if you put it on dyno nd floor it..dumbass...by your logic your little shite car is faster than a bugatti..lolol
@alfred777ish It's comments like these that encourage me to reflect on the power of the internet. Imagine, a giant public forum where folks can freely denigrate your reputation and years of hard work all from the safety and security of their computer. Oh and with no basis whatsoever! Call me and my little video fake? Well, I call you an uninformed dipshit who has no respect, passion or automotive savvy. Do your homework before opening your stupid trap and appreciate the legit work of others.
@LaserethPC Thanks! Yes, probably something like that in this video. According to my last 1/8 mile run (more aggressive launch) the 0-60 time was 2.7 seconds.
@turbomiragedude im gonna be buying a basically stock Dsm its a 91 with the 4g63 rebuilt motor aftermarket turbo....are these cars reliable? I had a eagle talon YEARS ago before i could even have a licence. and it was Great shape body wise but engine tranny n such were so horrible. this ones a AWD too. anything i should look out for on a DSM?
@DiErVoNmAnE Well I'm 100% sure that you're a stupid and naive troll. So you're saying that I lifted the car up off of the ground and ran it up to 135mph to trick everyone on YouTube? You fool. Before you open your mouth, do some research. I have multiple videos of this car drag racing and a website with every detail on the car. In fact, one video shows it running 7.4@100mph in the 1/8 mile on pump gas- and that was four years ago! I suppose that was off the ground too, right dumbass?
@turbomiragedude now now no need to get mad sir. i saw your other videos but too late i had alredy posted the comment. i really wish you wouldnt have called me a dumb ass/stupid/naive as i really like to avoid that kind of talk if its not really necessary. i truly am sorry for insulting you.. awesome car bro once again im sorry for assuming before enquiring about your car. by the way my brother has a 96 talon and after veiwing this im gonna spend more time working on that car.
@DiErVoNmAnE try lifting a car off the ground and doing that. I work on cars for a living and a caravan will do 0-90 in a sec or 2 that way. he had over 10 secs to 130 from start
@DiErVoNmAnE lol. It may seem like a good way to trick people on the web...but you have a good chance of blowing your motor...well...more like slinging a rod i THINK is one of the things that will happen.
@turbomiragedude ok cool, i also wanted to ask....how is ur gas mileage? i noticed that someone said look at the fuel gauge as u do the 0-130....i can see it slowly moves to E (empty) as you push it....lol
@sergsrt8 I get 24mpg with 50/50 city highway driving - and that includes beating on it regularly. The reason the gas gauge moves under acceleration is more likely due to fuel slosh.
@turbomiragedude wow thats awesome, just one more question. People use meth injection because they dont want engine detonation to occur but wont u be safe if u just swap out the cams. I noticed that u did both, did u do it just to be extra safe?
@sergsrt8 Swapping out cams has nothing to do with preventing detonation. Camshafts allow the engine to ingest/expel more air/fuel per combustion cycle.
@turbomiragedude oh, weird. I guess that makes sense. It seemed to be slowly going up, without relation to rpm's, so I assumed it was oil temp.
anyways, rad car man! your site is pretty awesome too; in the nearish future I'll probably be building a water/meth system via some of the info on your site.
@UPcomingBARBER08 Bad door switch man. My 2g has a bad one in the trunk. I have to slam the ever living shit out it to keep the interior lights from flipping on off the whole time I going down the 1/4th.
@slipknot12390 That's too generic of a question, as there are lots of variables to consider. Generally speaking, do you want to run high boost for a long time, safely? Then yes, forged internals are required.
I'm not much of an import fan but i like this one. No big wings or loud exhaust,looks like a sleeper and i like that not to mention this thing flat out hauls butt!
Ok so im looking to buy a front wheel drive eagle talon thats running 13 pounds of boost currently, does any1 know if it would be worth getting or if i should look for something else?
Think you mightve inspired me... I have a 91 Eclipse GSX with BPUs and runs high 13s @95... Ive been trying to sell it, no takers and nobody wants to pay what its worth... Maybe I should build it more like you have.... Your car freakin rocks
@batdad187 Thank you and I appreciate that! Hold onto your car and slowly improve it over time. There is lots of enjoyment to be had in making these cars fast, but there's no need to rush it- you'll have more fun that way! Good luck.
@turbomiragedude Oh I hear ya... its just that I have 5 cars and I need to liquidate. My main project is an 82 Supra with 88 turbo 3.0, and Im kinda choosing that over the Eclipse. Wish I could keep them all! haha My main concern with the Eclipse is its got 200k on it, stock trans, turbo, diffs... The next step is a big (expensive) one!
this is a safe car,,,,i would do this in this car any day,,,,we ha some kids flip one of the eagle talons in front of my house and they all walked away and the cabin never gave in at all,,,,they fliped at like 80mph and the car looked fine,,,,lol
nice car beautiful pulls good, is there a problem with ur door or is it the fact that ur cars soo fast that the open door logo on the dash keeps wantin to rip the door off the chassis...either way pulls like a freight train haha good work, love the 4g bitch is a beast haha
@dastallion420951 Thank you! Regarding the dash light, it's caused by the "door ajar" switch that's wearing out. Hard acceleration makes it think one of the doors has popped open.
@wickedblackcamaro I have driven this car to work (about 40 miles round trip) 4-5 days a week all winter long and 1-2 days a week the rest of the year since I bought it in 2005 and it's never broke down or left me stranded. This built engine has been in a couple of my cars since 2002 needing nothing but basic maintenance. There aren't many 500+ wheel hp cars that can that!
@Rangehadies Just need a cam that makes power in the 9k range. No sense in revving that high if you quit making power at 6k. Need springs that can handle an aggressive cam as well as to control valve float.
@ModestMadBomberHD The turbo came from Forced Performance and the intake manifold came from Magnus Motorsports. Both are excellent items that I would highly recommend. The best part is that they are both affordable and will last a long time. Good luck with your car!
@ModestMadBomberHD That's a tough one - you could try one of the reputable DSM used parts dealers, or replace the parts with reman parts store items. Either way, a proper installation is required.
@FenderBassman155 Thanks! In this video I was using an HKS VPC and Keydiver chip, but have since replaced all of that stuff with ECMLink. Check out my website for a complete mod list.
@FenderBassman155 I purchased this Stage 3 block and head from Buschur Racing 7 years ago. Mr. Buschur doesn't exactly publicize what brand parts are used in his engine builds, so whatever was the best, strongest stuff you could get back then is in there, I'm sure. Oh and my timing map looks very aggressive :-)
@tomlawtsiawd You're welcome! Yes, 25psi with a 50/50 mix of water and denatured alcohol. I do have a higher compression engine and run lots of timing, so more boost would mean reducing that timing- which I don't want to do.
Nice vid man! I was thinking about running that same turbo. How do you like the FP 68HTA? Do you have any dyno numbers? I have/will have similar mods done to my Talon
@tomlawtsiawd Thanks! It's an excellent all-around turbo that is likely the right size for 97% of DSM owners out there. I don't have any dyno numbers, but based on the 1/8 mile trap speed of 104mph and race weight of a little over 3300lbs with driver, it's making north of 500hp to the wheels.

nice car beautiful pulls good, is there a problem with ur door or is it the fact that ur cars soo fast that the open door logo on the dash keeps wantin to rip the door off the chassis...either way pulls like a freight train haha good work, love the 4g bitch is a beast haha

@dastallion420951 Thank you! Regarding the dash light, it's caused by the "door ajar" switch that's wearing out. Hard acceleration makes it think one of the doors has popped open.

how reliable has this car been for you?
wickedblackcamaro 9 months ago
@wickedblackcamaro I have driven this car to work (about 40 miles round trip) 4-5 days a week all winter long and 1-2 days a week the rest of the year since I bought it in 2005 and it's never broke down or left me stranded. This built engine has been in a couple of my cars since 2002 needing nothing but basic maintenance. There aren't many 500+ wheel hp cars that can that!

Hey man can you tell me how can you rev to 9k? i mean technicly you CAN but im sure you have some kind of internals to help it not emplode?
Rangehadies 9 months ago
@Rangehadies Just need a cam that makes power in the 9k range. No sense in revving that high if you quit making power at 6k. Need springs that can handle an aggressive cam as well as to control valve float.

Nice ride! Quick question though, are you either running a really short ratio gear box, or is your RPM reading that far off?
9k on a stanndard ratio w5m33 gearbox would be about 162 MPH depending on tire size :)
gsxicemaN 9 months ago
@gsxicemaN He was still in 4th gear, im guessing 162 is if he was in 5th?

Damn, I wish my Talon Could do the same. Where did you get that turbo and intake from?
ModestMadBomberHD 10 months ago
@ModestMadBomberHD The turbo came from Forced Performance and the intake manifold came from Magnus Motorsports. Both are excellent items that I would highly recommend. The best part is that they are both affordable and will last a long time. Good luck with your car!

@turbomiragedude Sweet, Where abouts can you find a good A/C for a 1991 talon?
ModestMadBomberHD 10 months ago
@ModestMadBomberHD That's a tough one - you could try one of the reputable DSM used parts dealers, or replace the parts with reman parts store items. Either way, a proper installation is required.

@turbomiragedude Alright. Cause the one i have in my talon is shit.

Great car, man. What are you tuning with, Link? What comp pistons are you running? What valvetrain?
FenderBassman155 10 months ago
@FenderBassman155 Thanks! In this video I was using an HKS VPC and Keydiver chip, but have since replaced all of that stuff with ECMLink. Check out my website for a complete mod list.

@turbomiragedude What internals and valvetrain? Also, what does your timing map look like
FenderBassman155 10 months ago
@FenderBassman155 I purchased this Stage 3 block and head from Buschur Racing 7 years ago. Mr. Buschur doesn't exactly publicize what brand parts are used in his engine builds, so whatever was the best, strongest stuff you could get back then is in there, I'm sure. Oh and my timing map looks very aggressive :-)
turbomiragedude 10 months ago
Ok cool thanks, that's awsome. Are you really only running 25psi and meth/water injection?
tomlawtsiawd 11 months ago
@tomlawtsiawd You're welcome! Yes, 25psi with a 50/50 mix of water and denatured alcohol. I do have a higher compression engine and run lots of timing, so more boost would mean reducing that timing- which I don't want to do.
turbomiragedude 11 months ago
Nice vid man! I was thinking about running that same turbo. How do you like the FP 68HTA? Do you have any dyno numbers? I have/will have similar mods done to my Talon
tomlawtsiawd 11 months ago
@tomlawtsiawd Thanks! It's an excellent all-around turbo that is likely the right size for 97% of DSM owners out there. I don't have any dyno numbers, but based on the 1/8 mile trap speed of 104mph and race weight of a little over 3300lbs with driver, it's making north of 500hp to the wheels.

Lol @ fuel gauge dipping down during that.
Very fine vehicle you have there, sir.
