View Full Version : Eagle Talon

I just finished reading an article about an Eagle Talon. It is street driven but with a few quick changes including tires it pulls in 8-9 sec 1/4 mile times. I never knew they had that potential.

what exactly are the quick changes? It would seem it takes a lot more than tires to get a talon into the 8's and 9's. Seems like you would need some serious dough for those kinda times, but thats just me being sceptical.

wow, impressive...
I knew they had it.. but not like that
Gigante

Dont get me wrong, there was serious stuff done to the car. What I'm saying is he can drive his car around the streets and then he goes to a track and just needs to change tires and stuff to race. The car is fast even when its being driven on the street.

oh, okay, my bad. I misunderstood you there, i wasnt trying to be a dick. It just sounded like all hed had to do was like up the boost a little, change the tires, and something else small and boom, 8's. I get what you mean now, and thats one fast talon.

Yeah DSM's have huge potential! The can hold up too 400hp on stock internals.
Let's see a honda engine do that.:lol:

I like em. i traded cars with my friend for a coupe weeks. he has a 16g turbo, full 3" exhaust a couple other little things, stock side mount intercooler. running 17lbs its pretty quick.

I just was wondering why this thread was moved to import culture. The Talon was created by Diamler Chrysler and Mitsubishi therefore it isnt technically an import.

The car is owned by one of the most famous dsm tuners. He doesn't drive it on the street all the time, but he does drive it to his shop sometimes which is still pretty crazy. Anyways, here is the video. Prepared to be amazed....you can thank me later heh...

there is a guy near me he has a 300 WHP one. its quick. uses it for auto cross. i love those cars, almost bought one but i went for the accord instead.

you guys didn't know dsm's had potential? The 4G63 engine is one of the best engines to mod in the world. My friend just put a 16g turbo on his stock 95 Tsi..ran 14flat with 2nd gear almost shot.
My other friend runs 8's in a daily driven 92 Talon
Now reliability is another subject..

well the general idea of the import culture forum was to post abt anything except cb7's thats what the entir site is for, but this little import forum is jus for everything else cept cb7's, they not allowed in here.....lol! there've been topics here abt srt4's and all so its anything but cb7's go in here.

One of my boys is running a Talon that is pushing 450+ HP at the wheels and is the fastest street driven car here on Maui (high 10's)... His motor is fully built (top and bottom) with upgraded turbo AND 100 shot of NOS (his car is sponsored by a known local engine builder/tuner company on Oahu)... His BOV is something to be heard...

You guys can talk all the shit you want about these cars, but they are bad ass. My 90 Talon TSi would kick any of your asses bone stock... I dont see any accord out there running a 15.0 stock! Especially for the price I got mine for. I still likemy accord, but my talon is my baby. It;s not "made" mitsu either. Eagle was made by Jeep, who is made by Dodge, which is a part of Chrsytler, so you get it right in the end, it's still not "technically an import, but look at your VIN codes on every Honda on this board, and tell me which ones weren't made in the US..... These cars have a LOT of potential. Mine woke up as soon as I put the exhaust on, at least i can feel a difference in the performance, unlike I could witht eh accord, until I did my swap...

Most of the people were not bad mouthing Talon's. I started this off because i didnt know they had the potential that they obviously do. Everyone else is saying they have potential but if you dont take good care of it, it isnt goin to last long.

Every car is that way though! If you don't take care of it, it's a pos, if you do, it should last a while.

I don't think that is really what he was saying. DSM's are especially bad because you can make power on them so easily and when people don't do it right things go wrong very quickly on them.

you know whats funny though h22girl okay eagle talons are nice but, as far as making 15 stock on a daily driver you forget you guys need FI to make those kinda moves let us FI on an accord though with our shorter gear ratios and on top of that good luck on finding parts cause they are rare mitsubishi,s and the talons should be in the same category. BUt most people treat them like shit anyway how expensive are the parts for that talon. I liked those cars but after hearing how the mitsubishi's die it tells alot about the driver I hope you dont beat on the car everyday.

why do you act like you dont know her off the boards?
15.0 stock is tight, but its not like no honda could ever touch it. An Integra GS-R runs high 14's stock.

As a previous owner of a DSM (95 Mitsubishi 3000GT, 222 hp 6G72 DOHC 3.0L V-6, 5-speed), and my bro is the owner of a 90 GSX (JDM Evo III block with oil cooler port blocked off, rebuilt and p&p stock turbo, boost controller set at 14 psi, intake, exhaust, ACT clutch, dunno what else, dynoed at 205 hp to the ground), I have these fine tidbits of information to offer:
DSMs have bulletproof engine, crappy trannies and drivetrains. I bought the GTO with 2 miles on it, and by the time I sold it at 77k miles, I had gone through TWO completely stock clutches. Only performance upgrades I had were intake and exhaust, which maybe gave me about 15 hp total, and only put me a little below 240 hp. Which even the stock tranny should have been able to handle.
My bro's car has gone through two full drivetrains. The first brand-new one he got on a recall. Three months later, he'd apparently completely roasted the center diff of the new one, so they gave him another whole brand-new drivetrain. Notice he's only making 205 to the ground, which, at 20% AWD drivetrain loss, is around 250-255 crank hp. That's not very much at all either.
Final point? Love these cars for their performance potential, but expect stuff to break, especially if you're used to Honda manufacturing tolerances.

12-27-2003, 12:52 PM
Exactly... I thought about buying a DSM, and I still might. A 92 4wd turbo Laser. They're supposedly the lightest of the bunch, and they look a little less flashy.
However, like red_gto said, the trannies and drivetrains have a bad rep. I've known a number of people who had a great experience, and even more people who had their car dead in the water for 50% of their time owning it.
I think Honda and Mitsu should merge to make a killer turbo car... Use the 4G63, and put it into a nice, light, reliable Honda car. Honda did some stuff for Isuzu (well, made the Trooper and the Rodeo for them) so why can't they join forces with Mitsubishi?
H22girl
12-28-2003, 06:02 PM
ok, first of all, if you don't know anything about these cars, which obviously many of you don't, just shut up please bc you're comments are worthless.
These cars can be junk, but some are not. Yeah, big deal, this car is turbo stock, if you put this turbo on a honda, the dsm would still kick the honda's ass. It's a 2.0. If you put the turbo on a stock f22 motor, the dsm would own the accord. Plain n simple. Sad when a 2.0 beats a 2.2. The parts on these cars are NOT that expensive. I bought my exhaust for less than I did for my accord. Air filter=the same. Intake for dsm=cheaper than accord. Lowering springs=same. There are just more parts to replace bc there is more there. Upper IC pipe, etc...
Sorry I would rather pay $1900 for a car and run a 15.0 completly stock, then buy a car for $6k for a car that ran a 16.2 with i/e... Then spend another 7k on a motor to run a lousy 14.8. Those cars are junk. I can put a total of 7k into this car (including things breaking, and buying the actual car) and run 12's. I don't think any accord can do that. Sucks that turbo kits cost so much, and when you put them on, they run like ass! Good luck with those slow accords! If you guys really want to get those things running get an H23 and turbo it. Or just buy a dsm and kick it's ass. haha

12-28-2003, 07:37 PM
She ran her accord into the ground cause she didnt like it so it took a big shit on her go figure :rolleyes: on top of that thats funny for accords that weigh less still be in a smaller time under you have more durability than a dsm when the dsm's are heavy as fuck and still do 15.0 stock good luck tryin to find that pos in the junkyard. who said that accords are 6k? its more like 1k you would still be runnin 12's when id put the accord to the side and get a supra to walk all over that or a lancer evo. DSM's aint shit even neons bussin em down :nono: thats fucked up.
its funny diamond,shit ,motors allways fuckup thats usual for a person that doesnt know how to tune them a/f ratio across the board. You can have so much fun goin through those lovely trannies. And besides accords are luxury the mitsubishi's werent meant to run all that high to tell you the truth. I think that mitsubishi in a way sucks i rather get a supra good luck on insurance ahahahahahahahahahaha thats why its so funny they need turbos to move now on the other hand let me get a turbo on my shit and its lighter = oh no for you and you can view my altezzas just for ignorance.

12-28-2003, 11:37 PM
I'll just take the best of both worlds and drop a 4G63 into an Accord :D
Still, it's a tradeoff. The Accords are heavier, and yes, the F series motors will take twice as much money to make fast as the 4G63 would. An H series swap would even things up a bit, though it would still cost more to make it as fast, since Honda motors aren't made for boost. On the other hand, an Accord is more of a luxury car. It's more interesting to have a 13 sec Accord, IMO, than a 12 sec DSM. You can't buy a 4 door DSM (I'm talking mainly about the Eclipse/Talon/Laser... I'm not positive if the Galant VR4 ever came in 4 door, and there has been some argument as to whether that was actually a DSM anyway.) Plus, someone who isn't that mechanically inclined can own a fairly fast Accord (I know from personal experience). To run a fast DSM, you pretty much have to know what you're doing, or you'll run it into the ground. It seems that Hondas can put up with more neglect than others.
Of course, I'd still like my 92 Laser... :D

and now it gets interesting!!! bwahahaha. The galant weighs approx. 3400lbs, it IS a DSM, and I've seen one run a 11.9.. Try that in an accord. There is a reason the accord is a 4-door. It's NOT a luxury car, it's a family car! The talon weighs approx. 3200lbs. It's a sports car, the accord is NOT. That's why the talon will always kick the accords ass. I used to love those cars, but I realized for racing, its NOT the way to go. The talon is cheaper, and depending on your knowledge for cars it is better! You all can argue all you want, but we all have our own opinions! I know that the accord is not a race car, you all need to realize that. You can make it look as "nice" (ricey) as you want, but it will always be slow. Until I see an accord running 12's, I won't have as much respect for those cars as I do for the Talon. Get it? Got it? Good!!

There's something for the FSAE to shove in the faces of hybrid owners like me! :D :lol:
ANY car can be made fast. Some can be made fast with less money. Some have a reputation for reliability, some do not. I've known reliable Hondas, and unreliable Hondas. I've also known reliable DSMs, and unreliable DSMs.
Personally, I like taking a non-sportscar, and making it sporty. I don't see why we're arguing opinions here... especially anti-Honda opinions on a Honda board... :rolleyes:

but lemme me go and slap some shit on a civic and an accord is a luxury car as well as family car . Fuck talons ive even seen nissans 300zx's eat em up no i mean really eat them up too bad you have to use boost to to run us. You know without the boost your cars aint shit .
Now thats cheap your talkin about on a stock block baby step your game up you want a real car get a beamer lets see how long you last then. your still into talons. They are garbage thats why you dont see em often. MOst of them either didnt seel or are in the junkyards somewhere in the middle of nowhere hondas are everywhere. And we get faster and faster on here everyday. even your name owns you h22girl :nono: :shocked: stop frontin you know if your shit aint break down youd still be whippin it in the honda. people dont even like to fuck with shitsubishi's anymore.
People just walk up to the car take the turboshit off and bounce and look at the car again come back kick it and run. those cars are only admired for the turbo that proves how slow they are and what is needed for them to move. oh and speakin of rice fuckin talons and mitsubishis came out with those fuckin over looped wings on the back and they cant fly so no point in goin there with rice yall are the ones sportin mostly bodykits just for us to ask is it a gs or rs oh well. lets just keep it real honda ownz joo!

ok ... any car can be made to go fast any car can be reliable depending on how its tuned and what parts are used.. any car can be a shitbox with shitty parts but still run fast..
ur making her sound like shes DISSING THE FUCK outta the accord shes not
shes just saying that HER PERSONAL PREFERENCE is NO LONGER the ACCORD.. she though she would be happy with h22a swapped accord... she had the talon i believe same time as the accord.. so she had both to compare.. and frankly the talon is faster in stock trim.. thats what it was made to run..
face it guys.. the accord IS A FAMILY CAR
and most of us do the "unrealistic" and swap or boost to make em faster..
to be different and because we love the cb7z.. just because h22girl doesnt find her accord or (when she had it) interesting any more or fast enough for her.. doesnt give u guys the right to pwn all over her.. also.. so what if she thinks the talon will walk the accord.. in the end we all know its how u tune the car.. yes the talon can handle boost like a bat outta hell.. but.. honda motors can be just as brutle when tuned right.. cough cough 2.6L
COUGH COUGH that turboed white coupe running 11s.. i mean like i said.. its all about how fast u wanna go.. ill stop ranting.. so should u guys.. just let ur own opinions be..
GET ALONG U GUYS PLZ!:bang:

12-29-2003, 01:32 PM
I agree with you wikked but nowadays you can slap on a turbo and make any 4cylinder fast.
i have to speak on this...h22girl y is ur attitude so nasty all of a sudden? i really didn't see any bad mouthing the talon at the beginning until u showed up and basically called all of us slow. They didn't know that even the non-turbo's have emense potential, forgive them...they're learning. As for the money u spent on ur accord to only get it to run a 14.8 with $7k...give me 7k and i'll break into the 12's with this f22a1 under my hood. My accord will be running a 15 flat or less with just a turbo and the entire setup is only costing me $2000, my gf has an eclipse gst that she bought for $5600 and she issued a challenge to me to beat her car in a race with the price diffence between our cars so i have $3100 to spend and the turbo setup will leave me with $1100 to spend...think i'll beat her...i sure as hell will. I give all the props in the world to any car with a motor under the hood, any car can be built to run fast. U guys are also forgeting how much those turbo cars are boosting stock. They usually run on 12-15 lbs of boost stock...and only put 210 to the crank? Put my car on just 6-7 and i could get the same. One of the fastest all motor imports in the world is powered by guess what...yup an f22 folks. I'm done ranting for now it just irritates me when ppl bad mouth cars because they got owned themselves. I may have a family car made only to get groceries from the store...but lets see u beat me to the store :laughy:

I don't know what the hell you spent that much money on but you must have gotten ripped off. For my cam and i/h/e I spent around 800 including the installation of my cam. With just that installed, I beat a 2g eclipse from a roll and stop numerous times so maybe you just need to learn how to drive.... You would expect your little 2.0 to beat our 2.2 because it is tuned differently from the factory and meant for different things. When it comes down to it though just remember there is no replacement for displacement :)

Ok, yeah I'll admit I am a little hostile, and I've had some bas experiences with my honda that make me not like that car one bit. But I love Talons. Until every single one of you own a talon, I don't wanna hear it. I've already owned a cb7, and the talon, so I know what the difference in both is. It's also a lot different bc my talon is awd. The launch in that car alone is just sick, and I'm still on my stock clutch. If you wanna talk about my driving, lets go fucking race! I don't play that game! I already have guys that weigh a lot asking me to race their cars bc the know I can drive. I have had several compliments from people who have been driving a long ass time, longer than any of us telling me that I'm a "damn good driver" so shove it! I'd like to see you cut a perfect light at the track! Or cut a .508 twice in a row. My reaction time say enough! I know it's not all about reaction times, and I don't have a problem anywhere else.
I wanted to just drop the whole situation, bc everyone does have their right to their own opinion. I still have my accord. Yes, I know talons aren't shit without the turbo, that's why the motor was built for a turbo. 2g's are garbage. If you come around my area, I can set up a race or two for ya with a couple talons, if any of ya'll really want to see what it's like... Looking at the taillights that is.

no one was trashing on your ability to drive, just the car itself, and noone was really doing that too bad. and as for having to own the car before talking bad about it, were not all so fortunate as to be able to buy a car just to be able to talk about it. does this mean i have to buy a lambo before i start talking about how much i like it, or does that just count when someone talks bad about a car? just wondering, not starting shit really.

HAHAHAHA. Sparkle doesnt like talons but he's got a bookshelf on the back of his car? wtf? Whatever. Oh, and we have a saying here, "run what ya brung, and hope ya brung enough!" So if you ain't got the shit now, shut ya mouth! Yeah the lil 14b's are good turbos. Everyone likes to take them. thats why it's good for me when I want a bigger turbo... Ok, I'm done ranting, thanks.
"run what ya brung, and hope ya brung enough!"
i think we can all agree on that. Once again i give respect to anything fast and most anything thats slow as long as the car is cared for (no rice). I mean hell i'd bow down to a 15 second geo metro...i wonder if one of those exists, i'm gonna go look. And if i may ask h22girl, why are u so hostile?
found a 15 sec geo metro but not a video yet...u'll like this tho
Awesome race!
Thought I would break the ice.
Karl Kopp
"I borrowed my wife's Geo Metro last night. One liter of raw power, 3 cylinders of asphalt-tearing terror on thirteen-inch rims. It's stock, alright, nothing done to it, but it pushes the barely 2000 pounds of Metro around with AUTHORITY. I'm always catching mopeds and 18-wheelers by surprise...
I was headed back from Baskin Robbins with my manly triple-latte cappuccino blast ("No cinnamon, ma'am, I take it BLACK"), when I stopped at a streetlight. As the Metro throbbed its throaty idle around me, I sipped my bold beverage and wiped the white froth off my stiff upper lip. I was minding my own business, but then I heard a rev from the next lane.
I turned, made eye contact, then let my eyes trace over the competition. Ford Festiva - a late model, could be trouble. Low profile tires, curb feelers, and schoolbus-yellow paint. Yep, a hot rod, for sure.
The howl of his motor snapped my reverie, and I looked back into the driver's eyes, nodded, then blipped my own throttle. As I tugged on my driving gloves and slipped on my sunglasses (gotta look cool to be fast, and I am *darn* cool, hence...) the night was split with the sound of seven screaming cylinders...
Then the light turned... I almost had him out of the hole, my three pounding cylinders thrusting me at least a millimeter back into my seat, as smoke poured from my front right tire... my unlimited slip differential was letting me down! I saw in the corner of my eyes, a yellow snout gaining, and I heard the roar of his four cylinders. He slung by me, right front wheel juddering against the pavement, and he flashed me a smile as his .7 extra liters of motor stretched its legs. I kept my foot gamely in it, though, waiting for the CHECK ENGINE light to blink on in the one-gauge (no tachometer here!) instrument panel. I saw a glimpse of chrome under his bumper, and knew the ugly truth...
He was running a custom exhaust -- probably a 2-into-1 dual exhaust -- maybe even cutouts! Darn his hot-rod soul! The old lady passing us on the crosswalk cast a dirty look in our boy-racer direction...
Yet I still persisted, with my three pumping pistons singing a heady high-pitched song, wound fully out. Though only a few handfuls of seconds had passed, we were nearing the crosswalk at the other side of the intersection,and I heard the note of his engine change as he made his shift to second, and I saw his grin in his rearview mirrior fade as he missed the shift! I rocketed by, shifting, and nursed the clutch gently in to keep it from bogging, keeping my motor spinning hot and pulling me ahead, now trailing a cloud of stinking clutch smoke. Not ready to give up so easily, he left his foot in it, revving, and I heard one wheel *almost* chirp as he finally found second and dropped the clutch. We careened over the crosswalk, now going at least 15 miles per hour. A bicyclist passed us, but intent on the race as we were, neither of us batted an eye.
He pulled slowly abreast of me, and neck and neck, we made the shift to third, the scream of motors deafening all pedestrians within a five foot radius. He nosed ahead as we passed 30 miles an hour, then eased in front of me, taunting, as we shifted into fourth. I was staring up the dual 6" chrome tips of his exhaust, snarling, my cappuccino forgotten, as he lifted a little to take the next corner.
I saw my opportunity, and counting on the innate agility of my trusty steed, I pulled wide into the number two lane and kept my foot buried in the carpet. Slowly, I inched around him, feeling my Metro roll slowly to the left as I came abreast in the midst of this gradual sweeping turn. I felt the Geo ease onto its suspension stops, and felt the right rear wheel slowly leave the ground - no matter, though, because my drive wheels, up front, were pulling me through the corner, and around the Festiva.
The Ford driver beat his wheel in rage as my wife's car eased past him on the outside, my P165/80R-13's screaming in protest, as we raced to the next light. We coasted down, neck and neck, to the red light. I tightened my driving gloves, ready for another round, when this WIMP in the next car meekly flipped his turn signal and made a right.
I drove off sipping my masculine drink, awash in my sheer virility, looking for other unwitting targets... Perhaps a Yugo, or maybe even a Volkswagen Van!"

What are you talking about? Seriously!
I blew the h22 in the accord bc the shit wasnt built right from the beginning. Anyone who knows who did it, knows that. I didnt blow up the talon. I got a new motor for the accord, and both cars are running.
Why dont you take your shopping cart for a car and fuck yourself before you start posting mis-information fucktard.
I'm only hostile when people get their info wrong, or start talking shit they cant back up

sparkle, seriously, get over it. i may not know everything, and I know that. I never said that I knew everything. If you again, could read, I did NOT blow up the Talon. I bought that car as a get aroudn car when the other car blew up. I actually just got the accord tuned before the car blew up, so until you know all the details shut your face. That car blew up due to installers error. They just fucked up, plain n simple. They did it to a few other people cars too. Just because you "work" on your own car doesn't mean you are the shit. I do as much as I can, I don't go all out because I dont know everything and I learn as much as I can. At least I'm going to school to really learn instead of half ass doing it, and going on learning things day by day. Again, until you know the FACTS shut your fucking mouth I don't wanna hear anymore, and I'm sure nobody else does either!!

your a true jackass u know that your goin to school to learn about it be around real people who do that shit everyday and learn it hands on you have to pay to learn it and you can borrow the tools from their pants and just blow on the cack you piece of shit i outta take the your talon and do all all out launch it up your ass with 4-wheel drive while your bent over you damn dummy:nono: they probably blew your car up cause it sucked and they didnt know what to do with it. and its not their fault its your fault any real tuner would put you shit on the dyno and wideband that shit. so keep goin to class matter of fact sit here on the board and watch real tuners tune that shit .
I bet when you still go to the school you still gonna blow it up well have a good laugh and then ill take a shit on your talon and go for a drive. most of the time people learn offhand and ask people do research on their own and learn from their mistakes your goin to the schools you can pay out the ass maybe you should let them run a train on you so you an cut your tuition in half you period having twat.

wow... this thread really went down the drain.
this is a good example of how to get a thread closed/deleted quickly (obviously not quick enough in this case).
i guess we need more babysitters (moderators) in this forum.
