1993 Eagle Talon TSI FWD from North America - Comments

Timing belt - NORMAL for this car.

That's it!

This thing is a monster! From the moment I got it I knew what could be done with it. Since it was bought I have upgraded everything, the turbo, exhaust, intake, added a fuel management system, new rims, all new upgraded suspension, higher compression pistons, high strength rods, removed the factory engine balance shafts (less rotational mass) lightened flywheel, cryogenically treated transmission. And it's now a drag racing car. Turns out 12 second passes at the strip and is STREET LEGAL at that! On a 4 cylinder.

Warning:

This car is not for the light hearted, if you have no desire to learn about it or hate getting under the hood, then don't be a baby and don't buy one. Unless you wanna take some time to learn and modify the car so it will take out Supras, Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, all those V8 "muscle" cars, and I use that term lightly... then don't buy this car, because if you don't wanna get your hands dirty then the car is just going to waste.

Put the same amount of money into those 'muscle cars' that you put into your Talon and we'll see who's pulling the low numbers.

Heh, very true!!! Not to mention, nobody likes riced out cars.

To a comment I read here about putting all the money into a V-8 and get better performance. Well I have a Plymouth Lazer turbo charged. A bought my body almost mint shape for $ 500 Canadian and my engine for $1500 Canadaian. Its not a stock engine, but it is damn close. Its got bigger injectors and a bigger turbo and from what my mechanics have told me the car should run in the 12s. (I am betting 13s, but still) Its not together yet, but for what like 2000 dollars I have a 13s car. Imagine if I put all tis money you guys are talking about into my car. Yeah I think it would be right there with the V-8 no problem.

My Talon does low 13's without any mods.I'm not sure why you spent all that cash on a car worth less than a $1,000.

I plan on getting a 93' talon (TSI). Does anyone have any info on the stock QM?

I just wanted to know because I have big plans for the car.

And I'd also like some pointers about the car itself as well... I want to know the limits of the car. (how high I should rev, and where I should shift without ragging the car out too much.

I have a '91 talon, 2.0 non turbo, I got it a new timing belt. That's it, and it runs low 13's, stock.

I have to call BS On the post above, I own a 93 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Turbo and it doesn't run 13. A new timing belt is DEFINITELY not going to put any car from a low 15 to a 13. These cars take a lot of work I will say, mine is currently stock, a big up on them though is pull the front bumper and remove the stock fog-lights from it, the one on the passenger side blocks the airflow to your inter-cooler. After removing the foglights, I noticed an higher showing on my boost gauge. Also, heat shields will prove to be a hassle on this car, mine are rattling bad.

Where can I find some parts on a talon that will throw it in the low numbers like the tens. I can't find parts anywhere so if anyone could help then that would be fine.

"I have a '91 talon, 2.0 non turbo, I got it a new timing belt. That's it, and it runs low 13's, stock." Ya I love these cars to, but don't make them look stupid by saying crap like that. Honestly I have a 93 talon WITH a turbo and it doesn't do 13's it is a high 14 at best stock. So a non-turbo is not getting ya down the track in 13.

If you are looking to mod your talon, eclipse, or laser. Or just want some good info on these cars go to www.dsmtuners.com great site.

Hey, I'm thinking about buying a 1993 eagle talon 2.0, 5 speed, it appears to be in good condition, but I'm not completely sure what to look for... I know that the timing belt, and clutch are the more common things, but the clutch is new and I plan on replacing the timing belt if I get the car anyways, is there anything else I should be looking for? and how much should I be looking to spend? thank you for reading this.

Go join dsmtuners. com and ask them so questions about it. They can help you out more times then you think. Anything you need to know about these cars you can usually find through them.

Its way cheaper to get a TSI fast than get a muscle car fast.

Car costs about $500-1500, adding a MBC cost 25bucks... removing the balance shafts costs 50 bucks + a little bit work.

Together with a few "free" mods (mods that cost less than 20 bucks) every TSI is able to drive 13-14s at the track.

For only 100 bucks of mods.

Hey I am getting ready to buy a 1993 eagle talon TSI and I am not sure if there is anything I should be aware of before I buy it. Is there anything that I should be to tell if it is worth the money not? hes asking 1000 but is offering it to me for 800..the price alone has got my eyebrow raised.. the paint needs redone because it got keyed.. but other than that it runs quite no tapping or knocking brakes don't rub or squeak.. but I'm not sure what else. I have no clue in this area of cars.. please share anything you have. Thanks a lot..! heres my email address jalepeno4152005@yahoo.com anyone is welcome to write!
