Well, after two years our '90 Talon has finally come back to life. Whew, I really can't describe how good it feels to just hear it again. I still have two minor things to take care of before I take it out for a drive, ie finding why the tach isn't working and getting a better clamp on the lower radiator hose at the Fluidyne as it's leaking now. It honestly started right up as if it hadn't even been sitting over night! :cool: It was soooo awesome just hearing the HKS bov too! Since the tach isn't operating right now I didn't rev it up too much, but it was making 5 lbs of boost while I did a little revving. :D Eric Westlund is coming over tomorrow after work to datalog, just to see how everything is doing before we take it out. Unfortunately, neither of us have too much experience reading a datalogger, so if anyone wants to come over tomorrow and help out it would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, if all goes well, we'll have it at the Hamburger Stand on Saturday night.

I should get home at roughly 5:30 tonight, Eric is off work at 4 so I'll just have him meet at my place around 6 probably.

congrats, I wish you weren't moving so I could see it in person and see it run in person

Thanks, it has a long list of mods but the vitals are a full unported and unclipped TD06 20G from TEC, Buschur fmic, extrude honed intake manifold and port matched throttle body, HKS 264 cams, EVC II, VPC, GCCC, Crane ignition, RPS stage 2 clutch, Applied Technologies external gate mounted on custom o2 housing, 2.5" downpipe from Alamo into a 3" catback from Buschur, etc. The only things I changed from how it was setup before is the new full TD06 (was a Bucshur Racing 20G), went to a Fluidyne from the stocker, and removed the stock fans in favor of a 12" Spal which is really nice and highly recommended. :)

Brock, will you be able to come down next Saturday the 27th? I know you mentioned that you're going to an autox event this weekend. If you can make it down the 27th and meet all of us at the Hamburger Stand (we can give you directions) then you can at least see it and go for a ride. :)
