ViPER1313 Wrote:Top tip to all DSM owners - make sure that your fuel injector wiring plugs are not completely corroded. I have no idea how the car was running with the plugs as corroded as they were. 1 of the plugs was already broken and another broke during dis assembly - 4 new 2G style plugs are coming in the mail. Now 2 broken ones are being held together by zip ties until the new ones arrive.Zip ties? Hell to us DSM owners that a permanent fix. No need to order new parts there.

Just picked up and installed DSMLink v3 Lite for the car.... now with more antilag and no lift to shift :thumbup: I am still figuring out how to use everything in the software. I need to find out why I am getting knock after I let the clutch out with the NLTS, but otherwise very happy with the purchase.
Re: Project 1990 Eagle Talon TSI - ViPER1313 - 06-01-2011
I need to update this thread with some new pictures with everything back together, but the car is coming along bit by bit. I installed a new knock sensor and a real block off plate for my EGR this past weekend, and I redid the NLTS clutch cut wiring to use the top clutch switch (cruise control) instead of the bottom one (starter disable.) I am going to pick up a set of EVO 9 wheels tonight for the RA-1s I bought from DJ - I want to do some AutoXing this summer :twisted: . DSMLink is absolutely awesome.
I also detailed the car this weekend, and wish I had Stephanie take pictures. It was pretty much the opposite of Premier Shine's work, and included lots of 1000/2000 grit sand paper and using a hose to peal off clear coat :lol:

So back from the dead. I kicked around the idea of selling the Talon, but Stephanie convinced me to spend the coin to take it to where I have always wanted it. The car was running poorly, boosting at very high rpm, and burning a quart of oil through the valve stem seals every 1k miles. I tore apart the manifold and found that the ring seal around the manifold had broken and fallen into the turbo opening, restricting almost all the exhaust flow. I have now amassed a small fortune of parts to redo everything, but better.

So the car is finally back together, however one of the injectors is not firing. Has anyone tried to DIY clean a stuck injector (these were fine before they sat In a ziplock bag for 3 years.) Definitely the injector itself at fault.

3 years... electrical issue? Maybe.

I put a multimeter to the injector harness, I have voltage while running, but when I put a mechanics stethoscope to it no click.

Try swapping injectors l. As in from cylinder to cylinder if you haven't done so

Re: Project 1990 Eagle Talon TSI - Kaan - 03-20-2016
I'd just ship them to Xavier and have him do all the injectors
Re: Project 1990 Eagle Talon TSI - JustinG - 03-20-2016
If only someone posted on your FB page and told you the same thing Kaan did.
Just do it you cheap bastard
Re: Project 1990 Eagle Talon TSI - ViPER1313 - 03-20-2016
I think it was just some corrosion between the connector and injector, I bench tested it and it worked fine, so I swapped injectors and put it back in, firing on all 4 now.
