yet another DSM gone wrong, My life as a tuner... Options

[celicast3sgte]

My friend comes to me says hey I want to start getting my car to go quicker and participate in some races. I say alright lets see what we have to work with... 97' Ford probe 4cyl... yeah not much, we started with the usual CAI, 2.5" cat back, high flow cat, headers from probeaddiction.com, and MSD ignition. It pulled alot harder than stock but I was never impressed with the feel or handling so a dyno run was never even worried about. So we scrapped that project for a turbo DSM talon tsi... now the story begins..

first off... the car


the piston... #4


the head...


All this was caused because of the intake cam jumping timing because of a bad mechanic and a driver that didnt pay attention... I am the new mechanic and will keep a watchful eye on this new motor. So now im looking at a motor swap and possibly a left over block to build with .20" over pistons.

so i would have liked to put an evo motor into the DSM being as both fit 4g63 motors but the evo setup im told faces the other way timing belt to the passenger side as opposed to the talons on the driver side. anyways looking for another turbo 4g63 now hope to swap out motors soon!

Yeah the Evo motor won't fit in the Talon (becuase the wonderful engineers at Chrysler-Mitsubishi figured they would screw with people), i'm running into the same issues swapping a 4g into a Lancer, you could consider running a Lancer 5 speed but it might not bolt to the chassis correctly.
