Re: david-b's 95 Eagle Talon ESi-T Motor Build

Got some work done today. Ordered an inline oil filter for the turbo just to play it safe and got that all installed. My plan was to drive the car around the block today, but that didn't happen. I did however, pull the car out of the garage and back in... so 20ft on the new motor

I lowered the FP down to about 27psi and continued playing with the fuel map to get the AFRs down. I got idle in about the 12-13afr range, which is much better than the 10s it was in before. So she's idling much better now but still not perfect obviously. As I was working on her, the t-stat housing decided to turn from a drip to a piss, so now coolant is spraying all over. So had to stop. Manifold was burning hot (yes I burnt myself) so stopped for the day. Tomorrow night I'm going back and going to mod up the manifold and fix the t-stat housing so it all fits better.


Here's a video from today of the idle
