Completely rebuilt the top end of the motor. Everything is new and acid bathed. Bottom end passed pressure tests so easy didn't bother touching it. Were brining it up to about 250HP and ontop of all that adding a NOS kit. Turbo kits were to hard to get EVERYTHING I need. Every kit I found they always had important hard to find parts missing so I went with NOS.

this is the junky before going into the shop lol sad isn't it? Painted chipped off so easy from when I got it but oh well I didn't care about the engine at that time cuz I was planning on getting a new one. So yeah specs and pictures will be added during the week.

Heres the block stripped down. Head coming in this evening, block was gonna stay in the bay but the condition of the block is an eye sore, so we took it out now and are sandblasting it and painting it black. Compression is great and is 160 all across!

Alright just added a coat of black to the block. We'll be adding another coat later on. Were currently waiting for the cylinder head and turbo kit. Which is sappose to be here today or tomorrow. Once we have them everything is good to go.

Okay yeah, as it said the project couldn't be completed due to my grandfathers passing. I will finish everything I started though and gonna get my talon running this summer. Right now its only at about 210HP on her but is good enough for now.

What I did so far:
- Port and Polish
- Shaved down the cylinder head
- Performance chip (15-25HP increase)
- Rebuilt everything except the pistons because they were great
- Larger fuel injectors
- Larger starter to crank the motor (not really a mod but had to be done to get her started lol)
- Adjustable cams

Still to be done:
- Nos kit to be installed (still in my garage in Ottawa)
- Exhaust system
- Cold Air Intake
might be a few more that I forgot to list

i agree w/ u im not a fan of my spoiler either. ive asked about taking it off and patching the holes but it only causes leakage. not a good idea.
