What's up people. I'm Dwight. I'm currently doing my first build. A 1990 Eagle talon. I'm not sure how I came upon this site but I love boost. The car is being fully built from the trans to the motor. I have to many mods to list. Here's a clickable slide show of the car. The motor is 60% done. I have to fix the headlight motor, and get the car painted.
![]() The site seems pretty new so i'll spread the word.

Hello everyone! I found this site through Google. My name is Ben. I live in the beautiful hill country outside of Austin,Texas. I own 2 E30 BMW's, A 1991 Alpine White II 325I Convertible. And a 1987 Brillantrot 4-door 325I. I have helped a few of my friends build boosted cars in the past(A few hondas, a nissan, and some mitsu's) And I am about to boost one of my own vehicles.
The convertible will be getting a M30B35(3.5l SOHC inline six) and 5-speed out of a 1991 535I, Custom ITB's, 666fab Turbo manifold. And the rest is still in the work's. The 4-door will be getting a S52B32(3.2l DOHC inline six) and 5-speed out of a 1998 M3 eventually but will not be boosted as of now. Oh an I told a few people about this site I hope they sign up.

Hi,I'm Vinnie and I'm addicted to forced induction.I was a Chevy guy for most of my life till 1999 when I bought my first turbocharged vehicle,a 1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD.Since than I've owned 5 1st gen Talons.All turbocharged AWD models.Two of them were strictly drag cars and the other 3 were street/strip cars.
Here are a few pictures of my current project car.The car is currently running,but has not been tracked yet.the car needs a tune,and a new set of slicks.However I'm confident the car will dip into the 9's on radials. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hey guys. Im Kile. I drive a WRblue MY02 WRX with a few little mods. Nothing impressive. I just got done rebuilding the engine. Full tear downs on cars you've owned for 2 weeks FTW.
I've owned a 1989 240sx, a 1993 325is, a 1972 Datsun 1200, a 1987 Dodge Aires wagon, and a 1984 rx7 w/ SBC350. New to the turbah thing. So yeh there you go.

I'm Phillip, known to those on West's OTHER forum as "Phlip, the asshole," some of you know me already.
An email I received reminded me that I do have Moderator access on this forum as well, so I figured why not come in and help with my presence? I drive an 89 Nissan 240SX with a mostly-stock KA24DE patiently awaiting the money to put in some real work. For now, I daily her so she's nothing spectacular yet. Look forward to more out of me in the near future, some friends and I have some plans. |

Hi, I'm Erik. same SN on zilvia that i have here. right now im stationed in Japan and i used to roll a 180SX as my drift beater. It was nothing special since it comes boosted stock, lol. i converted the front to a Sil front due to some complications with my pop-up front end and added a ton of bolt-on modifications. i sold that after getting JCI and im now driving a Wagon RR (boosted Kei car, haha) until i leave in June 2010. dont know where my next assignment is, but i have an S14 SR just waiting to be transplanted into another car. If i go back to the states im hoping to get a kouki S14. Here's some pics of the 180, i dont have any good ones of the Wagon R yet since its chillin in winter mode.
