first off you have no choice. The 2.4 is it unless you are fortunate enough to find a clean GS. Other than that...
Looking to buy a 7g. I would like the 2.4 4cyl. Are Certain years more advantageous than others? Any problems to watch out for?
If anyone can point me to a year by year explination of model year changes that would be great.

The 96-98 cars are nice for modding because they are OBD2 which from my understanding makes it easier to swap in a turbo 2g DSM or Evo 8 ECU when turbocharging a 7g. Other than that there are some changes in the front fascia, a few other wiring changes and that's about it.

if you go with a 97 98 and you plan on turboing it. The ecu pinout is very close to a 2g turbo ecu so there isnt really much wiring at all.

Thanks for the correction on that. So 97-98 is the way to go :)

i wonder why mine never came with a map sensor then? my car is one of a kind instead of having the full tail light assembly it just has the two little tail lights its wierd.

you sir are mistaken on the body. the 97-98's are superior. the bumper is more aggressive, has larger openings for air, IC's, oil coolers, it has more room behind it, etc... the bumper looks better with a lip than the 94-96 bumper with a lip.
this is why everyone usually goes to the 97-98 bumper
all 94-95's are OBD 1, some 96's are OBD 1.5, all 97-98 are OBD 2
OBD 2 equipped cars require less modifaction for the ecu swaps
97-98 has jdm style tail lights from factory, they are just newer, and they have better color choices. 97-98 is the way to go

ill give you on the 97-98 front bumpers having more room
now cuz ive has a 95 galant and a 96 i can tell you the 94-95 are OBD1.5 not 1, the 96-98 are all OBD2 as ALL cars made in 1996 had to be full obd2 cars
and mike, i have no idea why youd be missing the map sensor unless its truly a 94 or 95 which is probably not the issue

i had mitsu caps on my computer before it crashed or i would have already asked you for your VIN lmao. but that canrt be it or there would have been a complete wiring nightmare are the 94-95 wiring is so different. i will try to think of reasons later haha

So the 94-95's didn't have a map sensor or what?
And whats obd?
Sorry i'm new to galants,
94-96 bumpers are far superior. The 97-98 are whimpy lookin big time. I do like the openess of the front but the grill section just looks gay. LOL. But I think we cann all agree no matter what the 7G is the pimp G....other than the 6G VR4 so...good luck

i've never seen one
unless you can get a 94 GS which is superior over everything else, get a full blown OBD2 7G. i'm also not sure if the 96s were fully obd2, but the 97+ are. too bad i think the bumpers are ugly on the later 7Gs :(
