1994 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. A daily driver that is driven to the track and back running 9.45 and 159.59 in the quarter mile while remaining near stock apearing with perfect drivability. First dyno session of the year the car hit 650whp on pump gas and 781whp on race gas, and 811whp on E85!
08/16/2010 Both the winners of Quick 16(TPG) and the runner up(Jesse Abele) used my cylinder heads, must not be too bad:)
08/06/2010 Sheptrans Wavetrac transfer case installed eliminating the ACD system, also Sheptrans rear diff upgrade, EVO now has so much grip everywhere it's absurd!
08/01/2010 Done with the Talon, car is available for full part out, not enough time for two cars.
06/01/2010 Buschur IDRC Sport Compact event, won the AWD slick tire class, new best time of 9.10@160.31!
05/18/2010 Added 2006 EVO IX to the stable!
2/12/10 Installed The Brakeman Revolution brake kit to all four corners, with these brakes you eliminate all caliper drag and lose 61 pounds of unsprung and rotating weight from the car, 31#'s off the front, 18#'s on the rear and 12#'s for the parking brake. I feel the rear brake kit is more important due to the terrible design of the rear screw style caliper. Email or call me if anyone has any questions concerning The Brakeman Brakes, there is alot more benifits than what im saying:)
12/28/09 End of a good year. Black car did OK concidering I just found the problem of why the launch was bad and rpm drop in between shifts was so bad, when running a single disc clutch I had the top clutch switch adjusted all the way to the top allowing for more hydrolic through for full clutch release, well I never lowered it back so if I every time I breathed on the clutch it would engage the NLTS (which was set to 6700, TOO LOW!) and kill the car, this fix alone will make the car fast, oh and yes I raised the limit to NLTS limit to 9000!
Also will be upping the compression by a couple of points or so as well as a 2G head, those two items along with E85 should scoot the car to a quick ET.
As for the red 93 Talon it's been sporting Forced Performances new FP68HTA turbo, all I can say is wow what a nice street car with that turbo, 25 psi by 3200 on a winter tune.
10/20/09 Switching both cars to 2G heads that ive prepared along with a custom JMF SMIM made special for the red Talon, should be interesting:)
10/09/09 811WHP and 672 torque on E85 before the headgasket let go.
9/10/09 Back on Sheetz E85 for the black car.
08/17/09 17th annual DSM Shootout, ran 9.62@153, 9.60@156.95, 9.58@153.4 and a new best for the Talon of 9.45@159.59. In the semi finals against Big Al I broke the drivers side rear axle:(
04/04/09 Car dynod at 650whp on 93 octane BP gas and 781whp on VP Q16 before the clutch let out. Big thanks to Nate Silvari for all the help and FIC for the new Blue Max 1350cc injectors that got the duty cycles back down to 84%.
02/04/09 Upgraded the wheel bearings to ceramic and had a new factory Mitsubishi transfer case REM treated by Shepherd Racing to reduce some frictional losses. Getting closer to the 2009 season!
12/16/08 Some changes for 2009, upgraded the throttle body to a Full Function 75mm leakproof unit, 5" intake piping and a Shearer T3 header to compliment the new FP HTA3586 turbo. Also FP 5r cams and Kiggly valve springs(don't be cheap, get these springs, there the best there is.)
10/20/08 2008 drag season is now over here, new best ET of 9.77 and best MPH of 156.81. Next year the car will be a hair lighter and be running a FP 3586HTA turbo in a T3 housing with a T3 header.
08/18/08 Car is running better than ever, won the Import Faceoff Outlaw class at Draway 42 with a 10.1@150.9 and then running 9.85 and 156.81 at the 2008 DSM Shootout.
07/24/08 BR motor back in the car along with the new FP4R cams and fresh Shep Stage IV trans, getting broke in now, made 619 WHP and 497 torque on BR Mustang Dyno with the new FP35R HTA.
06/20/08 Ran at QCR on pump gas full street trim, 10.8@136 21psi and 10.5@142 at 26psi, not bad on 93octane and the FP3582HTA.
1/25/08 Well hows 460hp and 469 torque sound on a stock 7-bolt? No problem, FP EVO 3 16g, FP manifold, DSMLINK, BR 4" race core, JMF SMIM, HKS 272's and nates tune on C-16. Might as well work out all the bugs on the stock motor before putting the BR stage III in.
12/17/07 Some great changes to the 1994 Talon project, Buschur's new 4" race IC cools like no other, Dynatek ignition, went from HKS 264's to 272's.
10/17/06 EVO is now sold.
09/09/06 AMS GT37r first outing:
9.33@155.3 at PRP, no traction spinning everywhere, I will need a track like Norwalk to run a better time.
08/17/06 DSM Shootout
Thanks to Dave Buschur(BR), Martin from AMS and John Shepherd(ShepRacing) the EVO ran the best of 9.34@150.7 and 9.41@152.33, new BR shortblock, BR tune, AMS off the shelf 35r kit and John's magic transmission to thank! Also put 655hp to Buschurs's heartbreak dyno.
06/18/06 Evo STI shootout in Norwalk Ohio
Only got in two runs, 9.81@138.96, low boost, no launch shifted into 5th at 1000 ft mark, just an easy shakedown run.
2nd pass launched it this time, not hard(6000 rpm) 35 peak boost tapering to 32, car nosed down hard after the 1/8th so I lifted, 9.68@141.85--Spun rod bearing! Just to give an idea it went 6.2@113.3 in the 1/8th on low boost and soft launch, easy 9.3@149 in it under full power.
06/01/06 BR tune!
600.5 hp on Dave's Mustang dyno, Dave tuned it to a safe 600 with knock control on at 38 psi. Not bad for a 35r car!
