Why would I need to make those modifications
With this weekend marking 5 years since completing the first 3.8 swap, I'll share a little update on what's coming soon.

Also, Pete's old car, as some now know, my brother owns.

He bought my old Evo Enkeis, and here's a little preview of what's to come.

Should be fun!
Indeed. I'm excited for both cars. Who better to set the next N/A Galant power record than my brother. It's a torch that I'll happily pass his way.
6G75 MIVEC swap!!! [emoji33] both are going to be monsters!
Here's the latest. Pistons and rods have shown up recently.

The intercooler is mounted.

And I had to remove the lower grille, as well as trim an inch or so across the opening in order to fit the intercooler. A sacrifice I will happily make.

With increased air consumption comes a greater demand for fuel.
PTE 1200cc injectors.

Damn, looking good Matt!
Nearly a year after taking the car apart, I've decided to get back into it. I put the project on hold mid-summer after taking a new position at work and wanting to spend what little free time I had enjoying leisurely things.
Well, the time has come to resume. I've accepted a new job and changing careers, which puts me in a good position to build this thing in a way I could only dream of in the past. Time will tell.
But for now, these are enough to get me started on building the heads at least. Valve springs will be ordered soon and I'll have a valvetrain setup capable of whatever I can throw at it.
Meet the SPE Stage 2+ Cams. Only 2 sets exist, and the other identical set are in a 3G that runs door-to-door with an 800+ whp C6 Z06 from 40-150mph (yes, this was done on the race track). Needless to say, they provide breathing past 7000 RPM without any issues, and a nice, broad powerband.

Awesome bro, Im glad your resuming the build it has lots of potential. I know how it is when life has to come before the car but you gotta keep at it even if its little at a time. Looking forward to the unique build!
I outran a Z07 the other day.
.....it was on a trailer....lol!!!
Lol Redgalant2k1. Glad to see things rolling again.
slowest build ever
Haha, changing jobs a few times in the last year and spending more time with my daughter will do that. It's not too far out now though. I just need to buy a bigger turbo before putting it back together.
Happy to see some updates =)
Interesting hotside setup!
It's coming along. It should be road worthy in a few weeks. Facebook is probably your best bet to see anything when it's up and running.
I figured time to unveil the now road-worthy version of the car for this year. Changed the entire piping setup in order to run a full radiator thanks to Justin (silvertune).
For this year, so that I'm able to get the car on the road, my entire to-be built engine is a heap of parts in a box, and I went with a stock 6g74 with Eclipse GTS cams. Nevertheless, it's on the road and I'm having fun on 9psi until I get an ignition system in the next few weeks which will allow me to run 15psi.
Here are some pictures taken by various sources at a local car meet yesterday.
