Project pics (56k beware)

Basically I'm redoing the top end of my motor. 1g intake manifold, 1g throttle body, sending my 2g head to my buddy to get port matched and polished, small 16g, 550cc injectors, finishing my exhause(3"turbo back no cat), possibly getting a maft, looking at a tubular manifold, FMIC, I think thats it but there maybe a few more little things. Anway here are some pics of my progress and a few of my schools shop.

Thats about all the further I've gotten but the easy part is done :smokin: no I just have to put everything back together and have it run right:uhoh:

looks good man!!! keep us posted

Looks like so much fun, and a great learning experience! Man, I wish my parents would let me do that kind of stuff. I guess I need to move out lol

Sweet pics man, keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

Its kind of nice because there is a shop 4g63t(1g auto) on an engine stand so I can use that for reference

Instead of a tubular manifold, you should just get the stock exhaust manifold ported. It'll flow the same (if not better) and should save you a bit of money. Everything else looks good. :thumbsup:

I was thinking that to but when I took off the stocker It was warped again(after having it machined a few months ago)

I like how your parts are nice and organized.

Mine are under a tarp infront of the car right now lol

That way I know where everything goes when I put it back together lmao, I have a box that I just threw all the bolts in, so I guess in the reassembly my theory is if the bolt fits, thats where it goes lol. BTW I know that if I use the stock head bolts you have to replace them every time you pull the head, but if I were to use some ARP head studs would I have to replace them to?

did u have to do anything special to get the head bolts off in the first place i striped 5 of mine today :-/

Looks good man keep it up, we have something in common lol both are cars are tore apart ;). GL man

The bolts on the 4g63 are 12mm 12 point so if you use a 6 point theres a better chance you'll strip them

Both of our perfectly running cars are torn apart in the search of more power lol

the bolts on the 420a are 15 mm

I would suggest then to go to sears and get a set of their bolt extractors, they will grab onto anything and they are like $20 for a 5 piece set

i'm going to get something called a gator grip i think is what its called its got a bunch of metal pins inside the socket and when u push it down on the socket it forms to the bolt

I have one of those, it really didnt work for me as well as they claimed it to.

Thats what I have now and they work awsome

Working in someone elses shop rocks ass doesnt it. Too bad I had to take calc and choir this year so I have no time for it.

That place is huge and I spend 7 hours a day there, could life get any better? Well maybe if there were scantly clad car models randomly striking poses :)

sounds good i guess im spending 20 bucks tommrow cant really argue with it theres gana be thousands more stiped bolts in my life so this might be good to use thanks man

You lucky bastard.

Nice looking Talon... BTW: You cant use a 6 point socket on the 12 point 4g63 head bolt/studs. ;)


Also... How long ago did you pick up that car? It looks close to the one I was going to get in the twin cities a little while ago with a bad motor?

hes had it a while if im not mistaken

a 13mm 6 point will fit, just wont grab as well lol. I've had the Talon for 10 months and counting and I got it in Austin

He's trying to pull the head off of a 420a, not a 4g63.

yep and it should be off today by god!

depending on what mods were already done and what mods you have done, I think I know who used to own your car. The San Antonio and Austin DSM clubs meet up sometimes.

I meant Austin Minnesota, sorry for not specifying. I'm the 3rd owner and they all lived in MN.

i dk how many owners my car has had :-(

I found out via carfax

i need to do one but i dont have the money to waste lol

Talk to nova1313, he has a month long subscription and he did mine

i was thinking about it but i dk i've heard of people going to get new titles printed with the serial number off your car and that wouldnt be good.

I'm not to worried about it. It would never hold up if someone tried to do that

This build has me soo stressed out right now lol. Everything is going good, heads getting ported this weekend and going to clean everything up, its jsut the little things that are getting to me. Like I broke my cam angle sensor and I have the wrong throttle body so I need to fine a new 1g tb and I need to buy alot of stuff. But once it starts coming together I'll be happy
