Re: Blackcrow64's Talon TSi AWD Project Progress Thread...

First off, in my defense of time... I was a total noob when I started this project and you older guys knew that. It was all I could do to barely change my oil, but now look at where I am, what I know, and what I can do...

Anywho...

Good news, bad news, and sad news...






Good news... It runs...


Bad news... Cylinder 3 is f*cked


Sad news... I didn't even get to see it run today...

My two buddies were working on it today since I'm on Midnights for a while and sleeping during the day and they pulled out the whole wiring harness. Upon doing this they discovered another plug that had fallen down behind my motor that matched the same plug for the coil and the cam angle sensor to crank sensor plug for the 6 bolt in a 2g swap. I had tried switching the plugs around a few times thinking I hooked them up wrong but I didn't know this extra one had fallen behind the motor. They traced everything with a wiring diagram and plugged in everything by the book and got it running...

However, Drew (My buddy with the black GSX that was working on this today) called me and said cylinder 3 doesn't have good compression or something cause its missing bad. So Tuesday when I'm off work I plan on doing a compression test to see whats going on there... I am wondering if there is a problem with one of the valves not seating correctly, head gasket got f'd up or even worse, dare I say... A valve got hit on installation? I hope not but only time will tell... At least it runs! Too bad I was sleeping and didn't get to see it...
