Because I want things that are specifically designed for my car, that I know will fit my car, the eclipse chasis/engine bay isn't the exact same...if I'm going to mod my car I'm going to do it right.

I did the whole custom thing, the first daily driven Supercharged Second Gen RX-7 all custom work...the day I blew the motor is the day I vouched never to do custom work again as it's more headaches then it's worth.

Back on topic, made for the galant, to fit, without any modifications;

ok lemme ask you this, you see an intake made for the 3.8 v6 eclipse but dont see one for the galant, but you know its the same engine and it will most definitaly, without a shadow of doubt fit you wouldnt get it because it dosent say its made for the galant?

No I would, but only if it fit for sure, wihtout having to make custom brackets, etc.

And AFAIK, the two intake paths are different in certain areas...

well it may bolt right up but like the intake for the 4g eclipse, it only fit the manual trans although i think they now have one for the auto.

but if you want 9th gen galant parts that is available at the moment, then an intake in ebay made by weapon r and sprint springs and some billet grills also in ebay.

thats all i know.

but there are things out there that say vehicle specific but still require some mods, so you can get something for your G but still may have to do a lil custom work to it. Me personally i think custom work is better because its custom so you know no1else has it. again my 2 cents

haha yes, I'll pick you up when you're broke down on the side of the road because your custom job turned into a hack job that in turn ended up screwing something major up!

Back on topic yet again, the ebay crap isn't anything official it looks like someone rigged that stuff in there (for christ sakes they tie rap the billet grill on...yeah ghetto) and the Weapon R is crap, nuff' said the RX-7 owners had a field day when they tried to say their intake gave 20 RWHP when in fact it sucked hot engine bay air and was over priced and the RX-7 Owner who dynoed actually lost 5 HP...

RRE might also have other parts that fit the 9g but won't know for sure unless someone with a 9g goes over there and tries stuff on.

First off, man your still considered a newbie to these boards. I understand you may have modded your RX-7, but maybe you should try to be a little more polite to the other GALANT owners on these forums. Second off, you will hardly see performance parts made specifically for the Galant. Trust me, i was looking for the same products too when i first got my 03 Galant. And i was beginning to lose hope when until i found these forums and was told the 8th Gen Galant, and 3rd Gen Eclipse share the same engine and chasis. Now although the engine bays and sizes of the Galant and Eclipse are very different....some of the parts for the Eclipse will bolt right up to the Galant. Do some searches around this forum and thoughout the internet.

The 9g Galant and 4g Eclipse have the same chassis and engine (same as the 8g Galant/3g Eclipse did), the intakes should bolt right in.

I had a 3G Eclipse AEM CAI that bolted 100% perfect on my 8G. Same motor same engine bay setup.

Here are pictures of the 4G Eclipse Intakes.

Factory 9G Engine Bay

No difference that I can see.

No problem if you want to buy stuff that they sale that says Galant on the part description, but the thing these companies don't know is that the engine bay, the chassis, the suspension, the transmission (automatic at least), air intakes, are all the same, as well as more stuff.

I didn't just modify my RX-7 like most people, it was all custom, there was no bolt on part what so ever...

I don't want to do that, and for me to start a thread and have everyone whine about me asking for galant specific parts is kind of annoying, I'm not going to anyone elses threads and basically calling them an idiot because of something they asked.

This is MY thread, that I asked specifically for Galant parts, not eclipse parts, people just don't seem to understand that and acting the way you guys are I understand why people won't make parts for this car as it's not a performance car, I've got a few vendors lined up who are willing to make parts for our cars (strut bars, etc) but with the general community on this forum acting like this I don't think I'll want them to build the parts I had planned anymore.

i really don't understand why u need products made for the galant if the eclipse part is the same exact thing.

im pretty sure your vendors are the same way. i mean the first thing they'd do is see if the eclipse application works. if not they will see what changes need to be done. no need to reinvent the wheel if you don't have to.

yo.. why not just search couple Mitsubishi forums.. its not like ur the only one who has a 9G and wants to Mod it...

the reason that most vendors wont have a straight product line made just for the galant is because its seen as more of a family sedan rather then a performance sedan. Honda is different because the civic is easy to mod and then came the Accord.. and then came all the ricers :roll: ..

Yes they are coming out with parts and accesories but really really slowly.. and its usually not all vendors but rather a small handfull..

AND if i the word " for 4G eclipse" really bothers u.. tell the vendor to put " for 9G galant".. its not that big of a deal..

I see where the hesitation comes from because of previous failure.. but let me tell u.. TGC members.. they know wat they are talking about.. (most of them..)

I will not buy Eclipse parts (such as an intake) until I know for a fact that someone else has done it successfully on the 9G. It's not enough to assume that same engines should share the exact same parts. We have to remember that these are not exactly the same engines. There are differences (30+ HP of difference).

For example, I'm willing to bet that the MAF sensor on the intake is different in the Galant than the Eclipse. The Eclipse MAF is probably tuned to see a certain range of air flow, and tells the computer to pump a certain amount of fuel to obtain the ideal air-fuel mixture (~14.7 Stoich).

Until someone proves otherwise, through tests and time, I would be hesistant to just drop any Eclipse parts into my 9G. Of course, it all depends on the parts. Some are more critical than others.

04-03-2006, 10:42 PM

hehe the maf sensor should be all the same for the 9th gen galant, 4g eclipse and 04+ ralliart lancer and maybe 04+ mitsucars. same part number. I have a lancer maf from ebay right now https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

H&R and Eibach make a spring kit for the 9G Galant, though its a different part # its the same as the 4G Eclipse springs.

Than have those vendors build the parts and supply the 9G Galant and 4G Eclipse enthusiasts with aftermarket support.

Once and for all this is a community of Galant owners many of us have been part of this community for years and have seen all the parts from the 3G Eclipse swapped to the 8G Galant. The 9G will prove no different.

This is a thread you posted asking for response on who makes parts for the Galant and as was stated before the Eclipse parts are Galant parts.

If you want a list of who makes "Galant-specific" parts here it is:

H&R Springs.

Eibach Springs.

EBC makes rotors and pads.

K&N makes a filter.

Thats it. Though Eclipse parts fit.

No need to have taken such offense to what people were telling you. Most of us here have used whatever was availible that fit. Many of us here are used to having to modify things to fit. Many of us here are used to the need for custom parts to be made. It takes time as you surely know to gain aftermarket support. By all means if you have companies willing to produce than go for it, but I hope for your sake they come through because we've seen companies come with promise of a new product and go not fulfilling that promise.

Thats why we use parts branded with the Eclipse name, if the parts fit we use it.

Alright, so here's my question...

What's a FUNCTIONAL modification that you would like to see, specifically made for the 9G Galant, perfect fit/bolt on.

What would you like to spend (in reason) and do you have paypal to put a deposit down?

Where are you located, all of the vendors are out of state and would need someone to bring their car by so they can make the product.

A good catback and sway bars would be a nice start. other than that, Eclipse parts will have to do for now. I know where you're comming from. Someone told me an RX-7 is compatible to a Ford Probe. I don't know the fact behind that could someone shed some light on this?

Well, clearly the 9G is not a track car. But for the street, the 9G is very unassuming, which I like. With 250 ft-lbs of torque you can beat most cars off the line, and it has the most power out of virtually any other car in its class.

Sure, it's heavy. And it's FWD. But these things don't matter much if you're not autocrossing, or at the strip every weekend.

Personally, I already had my fun with my 320HP 2G Eclipse and an M3. Honestly, the stiff ride gets tiring after a while (especially up north on these pot-hole ridden streets). The 9G is a great daily driver, and there's nothing wrong with a few extra HP when you're in the mood for "spirited driving".

Hello everyone... :bigsmile:

I was directed here from the RX-7 forums... I'm currently in the process of developing some hard to find/afford race parts for the FC3S chassis (2nd Gen RX-7 for those who are unfamiliar), and prototypes for a few different parts will be available for display within the next few weeks... I'll post some pics over here when they are finished, so you can get an idea of the quality... Assuming you guys like what you see, we may branch out and offer this for different vehicle makes...

Thinks we're working on for the FC:

1. Triangulated front strut bar

2. Rear strut bar with x-brace

3. Harness bar with camera mount

4. Aluminum turbo inlet duct

5. True CAI (for N/A and turbo models)

6. Aluminum underbelly tray (for cooling purposes)

7. Various suspension braces and mounts

8. Radiator relocation brackets

9. Custom V-mount intercooler kits

10. Tubular rear subframe (eventually)

That's just so you guys get the idea... Anyways, we'll have our hands full with RX-7's for a little while, but if anyone has any comments or ideas, feel free to let me know... I'll check the forum regularly and see what's crackin...

Thanks for having me... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Well what we would need is for someone local to let us use their car for a test bed... We need something to take measurements, test for fitment, etc... Also a little knowledge of the Galant from a technical perspective would be very helpful in the process... For instance the same things that may affect a rotary could be entirely different for a Galant, and vise versa... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

As long as they are close to North Carolina and can let them use their car for testing purposes I don't see any reason why the 8G couldn't have any parts.

But yes, like Rising_Suns said, I like the luxury car appeal without the overly aggresive suspension that will 9/10 times never be used on the track. This is the perfect car for me, it's fast, it's big, and it gets good gas mileage...why not? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

bottom line the G is still new. Ive been bouncing from Galant forum to forum. I have yet to see anyone post any official parts that are strictly for the 9G. Aftermarket parts are usually custom jobs done for you anyways. It takes the work out of doing the custom job yourself. The answer to your question is *look*. Guaranteed the probability of you find a part that specifically reads *Made for 2004-Present Galant" performance mod is slim. the engines that Mitsubishi uses for their cars does not change aka most of the performance mods will work for them i.e intakes or exhaust systems. Most things need to be modded anyways. even the new body kits made specifically for 9Gs don't fit properly and need some trimming here and there. The G nowadays are not typically performance mod cars. If you find any aftermarket part, it was probably a custom job by another G lover who wanted a part.

Ok, Galant specific parts (must say made for galant):
-Power Slot rotors.
-Work Springs.
-and then a bunch of custom shit everyone else made and sells on ebay.

the galant and eclipse are the same platform, the only reason we need to do slight modification, SLIGHT, is due to the fact our vehicle is longer and never came with a manual, that and that our vehicle was not embraced is a vehicle to be modded.

Swallow what ever issues you have and buy the eclipse parts, or buy a different car.
