Looks like my post was moved, so... I have a 7G if you weren't aware. Thus the install guide I'm putting together will likely not apply to other gen Galants. Anyhow...
Here's the complete (well, for the most part at least) parts list:
Under the hood:
- 1G 14b turbo w/internal wastegate
- 2G exhaust manifold
- 2G O2 housing
- 2G downpipe
- 1G 14b j-pipe w/nipple
- 1G BOV
- 2G oil pan
- 2G SMIC
- 1G coolant lines (2)
- 2G oil return line
- RRE oil feed line (for a 2G)
- 450cc injectors
- 1G resistor pack
- 1G intake tube
- Gaskets: Head to exhaust manifold, exhaust manifold to turbo, turbo to O2 housing, O2 housing to downpipe, turbo to j-pipe, oil return line (you should get 2, one to turbo, one to oil pan… although I only had one and used this copper gasket sealer spray stuff on the pan side)
- IC piping (pre-bent or flexible radiator hose for both upper and lower)
- Flexible lower radiator hose – you need to replace it if you want the turbo inlet to be accessible
- Flexible 1 ½” pool hose to connect the BOV back to the intake tube
- Plug(s) for the extra hole(s) on the intake tube
- About 3 feet of 3/8” coolant hose (for your coolant lines)
- About 1 foot of 3/16” coolant hose or vacuum line (to connect wastegate to j-pipe)
- About 2 feet of 1/8” coolant hose or vacuum line (for your BOV to vacuum line)
- T-fittings (3/16” – 3/16” – 3/16” and 1/8” – 3/16” – 3/16”)
- Various sized hose clamps (for anywhere you have a hose)
- Various sized zip ties
Inside the car:
- Apex-I SAFC II
- 94-01 Acura Integra pillar pod
- Autometer Boost gauge
- Autometer Pyrometer (EGT)
- OBD-II pocketlogger (supposedly in the mail)
and...
Tools, Odds & Ends Required:
If you don’t have access to a good set of tools, stop right here. You’ll need a number of ratchets, sockets, open ends, extensions, swivel adapters, screwdrivers, pliers, wirecutters, electrical tape, tweezers, and a knife… More specifically, you’ll also want to have a drill and some good bits, a tap (follow the directions for your EGT gauge) a soldering gun / kit, O2 sensor socket (but make sure you get a good quality one if you use this instead of an open end), Oil pressure sender socket, torque wrench, and your two best friends – a breaker bar and some PB Blaster. You’ll also need a bunch of bolts and washers and all that good stuff to put everything together. I made about 10 trips to Home Depot… your best bet is to put all of your parts in a box and bring it to Home Depot with you and just test fit everything. Another option would be to buy a kit if you can find one. Some bolts you can re-use of course, but there are a number of new ones you’ll need. You’ll also need a couple of jacks and jackstands unless you have access to a lift.
Install guide will follow once I'm done writing it.
