The Build

Well my car finally gave up. Spun a rod bearing January 12, 2008. Underwent a transplant. Had a 95 Spare and swaped that in. Removed Balance shafts and cleaned up the engine bay a bit.

My spare engine thats going in for the transplant.

Here my new Beauty. FP3052 Ball bearing turbo. You can see the size differences. First the Factory T-25 than the Evo 3 16G I sold and finally the FP3052.

My Engine setup almost complete and a peek of my new Vertical flow FMIC. All cooling fins are completely exposed to the air flow. The end tanks are the only things hidden behind bumper.

Good work on your documentation of your Talon build.. And I'm not suprised that you had to swap out the engine. Also, the engine bay looked SWEET!
