I plan on getting a 93' talon (TSI). Does anyone have any info on the stock QM?

I just wanted to know because I have big plans for the car.

And I'd also like some pointers about the car itself as well... I want to know the limits of the car. (how high I should rev, and where I should shift without ragging the car out too much.

I have a '91 talon, 2.0 non turbo, I got it a new timing belt. That's it, and it runs low 13's, stock.

I have to call BS On the post above, I own a 93 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Turbo and it doesn't run 13. A new timing belt is DEFINITELY not going to put any car from a low 15 to a 13. These cars take a lot of work I will say, mine is currently stock, a big up on them though is pull the front bumper and remove the stock fog-lights from it, the one on the passenger side blocks the airflow to your inter-cooler. After removing the foglights, I noticed an higher showing on my boost gauge. Also, heat shields will prove to be a hassle on this car, mine are rattling bad.

Where can I find some parts on a talon that will throw it in the low numbers like the tens. I can't find parts anywhere so if anyone could help then that would be fine.

Ya I love these cars to, but don't make them look stupid by saying crap like that. Honestly I have a 93 talon WITH a turbo and it doesn't do 13's it is a high 14 at best stock. So a non-turbo is not getting ya down the track in 13.

Hey, I'm thinking about buying a 1993 eagle talon 2.0, 5 speed, it appears to be in good condition, but I'm not completely sure what to look for... I know that the timing belt, and clutch are the more common things, but the clutch is new and I plan on replacing the timing belt if I get the car anyways, is there anything else I should be looking for? and how much should I be looking to spend? thank you for reading this.

Its way cheaper to get a TSI fast than get a muscle car fast.

Car costs about $500-1500, adding a MBC cost 25bucks... removing the balance shafts costs 50 bucks + a little bit work.

Together with a few "free" mods (mods that cost less than 20 bucks) every TSI is able to drive 13-14s at the track.

For only 100 bucks of mods.
