What a bunch of bench racer idiots. Hey, if you have NO clue what you're talking about, then STFU. Geez. What is it about SO many people spreading SO much false information about turbo'ing a 4G64? Get a grip people... It can be done quite easily, cheaply ($2k-$3k depending on parts), very little maintenance, and does NOT destroy the stock engine.

manybrews: You had TOOOO many brews. STFU, because you're clueless.

acidburn2160: You do not need a turbo intake manifold. It won't fit on the stock SOHC head anyway. You need a turbo exhaust manifold. Follow the instructions I put on my site for the Spyder, and you'll be fine. The biggest things you need to watch are boost level and knock. If you don't spend on the $$$ on knock control, keep your boost LOW (7 psi or below), and WATCH your EGT's.

chances are i know more about these cars sleeping than you ever will, so i suggest you pull your head outta your ass.
sure, turboing these cars is easy.. and stupid. you go ahead and continue to tell people how harmless it is, and ill continue to make money hand over fist replacing every part of the drivetrain on peoples cars after this easy modification.

you want a fast car? buy one engineered that way instead of hacking an aftermarket fix onto it.

I guess the turbo put on my 4g64 *last* december doesn't prove a thing, hey? Drivetrain is fine. Engine is fine. Running 11psi daily, thankyouverymuch.

Children....If you can't play nice, you're gonna have to be separated...

Manybrews knows his stuff, he's a Mitsu tech. However, his knowledge is probably more limited to keeping stuff nice and stock and reliable.

Curt (Spyder4g64t) is more into tuning, but has limited experience with high numbers of individual cars worked on.

If you have a 5 speed, turboing a Galant is easy. If you have an automatic, there's where you're going to run into problems since the tranny was simply not made for all that extra power. True, the 4g64 can be quite easily, cheaply, and dependably trubo'd for mild applications (under 10 psi or so). But, Manybrews is also right, if you have an auto, or plan on cranking the boost, you're gonna have problems. There, maybe that'll forstall anymore name calling and poo throwing. We're not a Honda board now...

i have seen every 2 bit hack you can think of to make these cars faster. lots are laughable, some are dangerous, most are terrible. heres the simple facts. the engine is NOT designed for a turbo. hence the reason for the different crankshaft, rods, pistons, transaxle, and clutch. (none of the 20 series trannies are rated for more that 175 horsepower, but im sure you knew that).
any modification you do to it is ill advised from any standpoint.

DONT tell me what to do, brainiac. im offering the easiest, most cost effective and hands down most reliable opinion. if YOU dont like it, tough. Wether you like it or not, turbocharging a car that was not intended for it without the proper internal modifications is pretty foolish.
as i see you know, because of this quote on "your website"..

"Turbo charging or any other vehicle modifications can result in personal injury, severe engine damage, or vehicle damage if not done properly.
Please use this web page as a guide only. I do not and will not assume any responsibility for damage that may occur to you, your car, or anything else."

apparently you know the dangers in doing so, yet i didnt see you mention that in your previous post.

If they are going to do it anyway, don't you think it's best to inform them as accurate as possible and make them LEARN what they need to do it right, rather than just blow them out of the water? Want to see hacks? Go over to the 3G Eclipse message board. MAN, what a bunch of idiots there are over there. I'd say 1 in 10 are intelligent - maybe that's a bit generous actually.

</div> Block is nearly identical to the 4G63T block. In fact, I'd bet money it is cast from the same mold, and different machining is done to make it into either a 4G63T or 4G64. However, I obviously can't prove it. I'm still trying to get them side by side to see if the casting marks are identical. The rods are the same as a 2g Eclipse 4G63T rod - nothing different there. Pistons: been running between 7-11psi on mine daily for a year. They are just fine. In fact, a friend is having a metalurgical analysis done on the piston itself in comparison to the 2G Eclipse 4G63T piston, as well as measurments of ring lands, weight, top thickness. I'm betting it will come back as strong and durable as the 2G Eclipse 4G63t piston - in which case all you have to worry about is the higher compression ratio. The crank is only different for the extra 12mm stroke, and there is already people putting down over 500whp with the 4g64 crank - I think it can handle 250-300 just fine. Clutch... I'll give you that one. Mine stock cluch started slipping the minute the turbo was installed. However, any 4G63t Eclipse performance clutch works fine. Tranny... Well, personally the jury is still out on that one for me. I'll agree the slushboxes are made of glass, but should be able to handle a low boost level. My 5-speed seems to be holding up just fine, and I'm NOT nice to it.

Any more arguements I can debunk?

I did point them to my website... Didn't I? Of course there are dangers involved. Especially if you have NO clue what you're doing. My disclaimer is there to save my ass, not because I think the car can't be reliably turbo'ed. Anyone who asks my advice who obviously isn't ready to do the job gets blasted by me to learn more first. In this case, the original poster was only looking for information on if it could be done or not. It can, and it can be done safely.

https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif Thanks for the sanity check. I was also a auto tech for a number of years, however (no, not mitsu). My knowledge comes from a LOT of research over the past 2 years. First year was simply info gathering, and this last year has been with my own turbo 4G64.

I'd say you are both right in some ways.
>>>Curt I agree 100% that the turbo will work on stock 4g64. Good example (a different mitsu motor though) is my friend's Mirage with a turbo running 8PSI daily for the past 3 years at least. With AT tranny. Why is his car still running? Because (correct me if I'm wrong) the fuel system is the most important part in turboe'd car. It is better to get more fuel than needed, you can't blow your motor by doing that.
A bad example is my other friends rabbit, he's on the 3rd motor right now. Why? Because he's running 13PSI DAILY with stock fuel system, nothing is gonna hold up if you don't do the turbo install corrctly.
>>>manybrews...you are right about the motor being built for NA application, but it doesn't mean it can't handle one. If you do it right, everything will be fine.

I guess it's way to early to tell if the turbo'ing a 4g64 is safe, It's been only one year for Curts car...hopefully it will run perfectly fine for many more years. One way to be sure is to do the research.

...and if it is that dangerous and all, there's always 4g63t that will fit perfectly in the car. :wink:

oh this is fun....

I'm going to back curt 100% here.

I've watched the evolution of the 4g64 from the very begining.

and I've seen every possible application constructed.

I, like curt have been soley invested in *4g64* performance for the past 5+ years. although There are some things about The '64 that say "I'm happy being NA" there are far more that SCREAM "I WANT FORCED INDUCTION!!"

I think the simplest, is the fact that mistu constructed the exhaust ports of the '64 to match *PERFECTLY* To the '63 exhaust manifold; but mysteriously made the intake side "not so close" to '63 specs.

the '64 retains the "bung" for the knock sensor.
the '64 uses the same rods as the '63 part # for part #
beefiest crank *evAr*
an Over-built, highly balanced bottom-end capable of revving safely to 7950 RPM (on-par with 4g63 limits)

the same things that make the '63 stong.. make The '64 as strong.
throw into it the 20% increase in displacement, and you really have one of the most under-rated 4-cylinder motor on the market?

and.. unfortunately, it's connected To the one of the weakest trannies out there =0/

however, I've been running 300Hp on my f5m31 for a year and a half now.

don't think For a second that working @ mitsu makes anyone the know-all saint of mitsu.. even After years.

I've never worked @ mitsu, and have Re-built 4 motors in the past year, as Well As walk people through The re-building of many more.
I constructed the first turbo kit for the 4g64 back in '98 and was the first to swap out a 4g64 for a 4g63. I helped curt with his build-up As far As I could, and some before that.

I know bores, strokes, deck-heights, allowable compressions, torque settings, gear ratios, flywheel Steps and Such of most of mitsu's current motors.

at the same time, I've brought my galant To an Established mitsu dealership (Boch mitsu(highest volume dealer in the north-east)) and have been told I have a neon motor in my car...or other stupid comments
that are complete bullshit.

you just CAN'T use the "I've Done this.. So I'm better."

how many 4g64's have *YOU* built beyond Factory Specs?
have you put nitrous kits, and gone with various jets? experimented with timing/fuel delivery? have you owned a Forced-induction 4g64?

I'm not bashing you, manybrews.. and I'm not attempting To be "brand-loyal" on curt's Side, but I *HAVE* seen how Curt has taken 4g64 performance further Than I ever had.. and has proven his theory/investigations With real-world performance.

I've not seen anything on your Part that allows you to say That something can, or can't be Done.

Sorry.

alright i know all the big things i need/want for my dohc head swap and turbo, but i really do not know the little things like:

Do we need to get the 02 sensor off the 1g or 2g exhaust mani(depending on which i get, probably 1g)?

What kind of head gasket should i get?

what is recommended to be done to a used block? honed?

whats a good rebuild kit for a 14b turbo?

When i swap the intake manifolds, will my old throttle body parts fit back on?

is a custom down pipe necassary or will the 2g downpipe fit?

i dunno i have a lot mroe but i dont have any parts right now

Do we need to get the 02 sensor off the 1g or 2g exhaust mani(depending on which i get, probably 1g)?

only difference I had between my 96 galant, and 2g o2 sensor Was wire length.. get the 2g, though.. (longer wires)

What kind of head gasket should i get?

Ralliart.. i think it's 2mm thicker, and multi-layer

what is recommended to be done to a used block? honed?

for a 7-bolt..replace rings, rod bearings, and rod bolts
hone, and take a second to wire-wheel The pistons clean of carbon build-up

whats a good rebuild kit for a 14b turbo?

announcer voice "dont' ttry this @ home"
send it out...you'll fuck it up (unless you can spin a turbo 45kRpm by hand?)

When i swap the intake manifolds, will my old throttle body parts fit back on?

yeah.. replae the gasket, though.

is a custom down pipe necassary or will the 2g downpipe fit?

do custom..and, while your @ it... get an evo exh manifold $190 un-ported From FP, and a Ported EVO o2 housing

and a 2.5" custom Downpipe... your neighbors will thank you when you start your galant early sundays for church

i dunno i have a lot mroe but i dont have any parts right now

that's not so much a question, is it?

manybrews

12-10-2002, 05:59 PM

alright, lets figure this out.
first, im NOT opposed to modification. ive modded piles of cars, including my own (now someone elses) 475 hp camaro. I have built 300 hp eclipses out of nothing more than stock pieces, and have built a couple 400 HP 3000gts. hell, im doing 14 grand worth of work to a customers stealth as we speak.
so it has nothing to do with that. heres my thoughts on it.
1st, the block is basically identical, no two ways about it. However, there are numerous other changes. the crank IS different in that its hardened. the rods ARE different in that they have piston cooling ports (which were previously mounted inside the block) machined in them. the pistons are different in both strength and size. the bearings are different, and non of this stuff is designed for a turbo. can you run it? sure. but why? why not use the engine designed for it, so you will get the proper engineering, the proper sizing, the proper drivability, and reliability, along with the fact that you get the DOHC head.
why force the little engine to endure temperatures that are 500 degrees hotter than intended, and forces that are 500 psi higher? It would be endlessly cheaper and easier in the case of Spyder just to buy the turbo.
any for anyone else here that really wants to mod your galant, go for it.
Im rather curious why someone would waste the time, though. Its a 4 door family commuter. if you wanted a fast car, why not buy it? You WILL have headaches when doing this type of modding to a car, garanteed. and the money will keep flowing out of your wallet, too.

Also, just to let everyone know.. the 20 series manuals are actually more prone to failure than the 20 series automatics (if based on percentage of failures per 100 cars). i would say that ive done about 50 percent more manuals than autos.
the trannies are troublesome enough under stock loads, much less raising the torque by 50 percent. Hell, the 30 series trannies have trouble with it, and theyre rated for it.

so my recommendation does not change.. if you want a fast car, the best choice (expecially for those with limited knowledge and limited resources) is buy a car thats already fast.

12-10-2002, 06:36 PM

Why not buy a fast car stock? Where would be the fun in that? I chose the Galant partly because I wanted to mod it up. I dunno, it really makes you feel...well, more attached to your car. Because, than it's yours and no one else has one like it. You buy a Corvette, and there's 20,000 people who have the exact same car. You mod up a Galant, and you have the only one (unless you work with someone to make two that are identical...) See what I'm saying. One day I'll probably get really ambitious and buy myself an actual fast car that's 100% stock. But for now, I really enjoy finding parts for the Galant, installing them, seeing how it affects the handling, performance, looks and other fun stuff like that. Also, the stock output of the 4g64 is very sad. I'm one of those crazy people who likes to see what an engine is capable of and still be as streetable as it was in stock form. (Than again, you're talking to a guy with a 50+ hp lawnmower...) So, I guess it's a matter of seeing how far you can take the car before stuff starts to break. But, I don't know about what you're saying about some 5 speeds not being able to handle the extra power. I know there's some guys on the Colt boards that are pushing 300+ hp through the stock Mirage 5 speeds with few/no problems. I don't doubt that you fix a lot of them, but is it the transmission failing, or are people who don't know how to drive mangling them? I suspect it's far more of the latter than the former. But, that's really more speculation than fact, since I don't work at a mitsu dealership. But, I did use to work in a tranny shop and Many, many of the transmissions (mostly autos since we stayed mostly to American vans and SUV's) were destroyed due to driver error and/or neglect. Which is why we fixed them rather than the dealership. Just my final $0.02 on the issue.

oh hell yes, most are due to owner neglect, ESPECIALLY in the case of autos.
however, the manuals are a weird breed. when the 20 and 30 series first came out in big numbers (the 89 galants, the 90 eclipses), we literall did hundreds of the manuals for countless problems. mostly premature synchronizer wear, lots of bearing failures, and loads of differentials blowing up..

years later, the synchro issues are pretty much non-existant, but the bearings still are failing and the occasional diff flies apart, even on cars that are well maintained / not abused.
it certainly doesnt affect them all, but its strange... the ones with bearing wear are REALLY, REALLY worn... as though the bearings themselves are poorly manufactured. And the ones with differential failure just seem to break whenever they want to.
who knows.. im not an engineer. but i will say one thing. the combination of these smaller trannies and high horsepower often equates to a bucket of parts laying on the road.

insurance rates? tough. thats the price you pay. modding and racing cars are not cheap hobbies. deal with the price or stop whining.
besides, i have yet to see an insurance company that will pay for anything thats modified on your car should something happen to it (unless you have it appraised, in which case your rates go up anyway).
and i couldnt care less which car you mod.. its just stupid to me to make a non-turbo spyder into a turbo spyder when theres already one on the market thats better built and stronger than the one you intend to mod.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'> Size... Obviously. Â*Strength? Â*Where is your proof? Â*Don't have any? Â*Huh, what a suprise.</div>
wheres your proof they arent? thats the most rediculous argument youve had yet. </div> As I mentioned previously, I'll have some piston analysis done very soon. I'll be sure to share the info when it comes in. On top of that information, I have the proof that my Spyder 4G64T has been running with 11psi boost for months with NO ill effects.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>the first sign of someone with no argument are personal attacks. Â*and incidently, wtf does that have to do with anything, other than make you look to be a punk?</div>
It just seemed so typical of somebody about 70 years old. However, your're right. I apologize. I should at least keep the arguement to the technical merits, as that's what I'm fighting for anyway.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>and i couldnt care less which car you mod.. its just stupid to me to make a non-turbo spyder into a turbo spyder when theres already one on the market thats better built and stronger than the one you intend to mod.
</div> Ok, here is why we're in a fight. First, it's obviously your right to have an opinion on turbo'ing a car. It's another thing to force it on everyone else. That's the problem. It is NOT stupid - it's just stupid to *YOU*. Now that we have that clear, let's have you show any, and I mean *ANY* proof that you have that the 4G63T is stronger than the 4G64. If you can't give me *ANY* proof, then you've just embarassed yourself, and ended this discussion.

look, heres the deal.. YOU came into this conversation and insulted my opinion on the very first post.
i said nothing originally except to suggest not modding a galant, and gave very good reasons as to why not to do so.. you apparently didnt like it, so you saw fit to be an ass to me on your very first post.
i have never said to you or ANYONE that its anything but my opinion. no shit. doesnt take a huge thought process to figure that one out.
i have given endless reasons as to why i think that turbocharging a 96 galant is a bad idea.. if you dont agree, great. i personally couldnt care less. However, telling someone its easy and cheap to turbocharge a 7th gen galant is both incorrect and misleading.
as far as proof, what do you want? you want me to ship each piece to you one after the other? you want failures at the molecular level?
my "proof" is simply this. ive worked on these cars for over 10 years. doing the rudementary math, thats at least 7000 cars if you figure on the low side. Chances are thats just a FEW more galants and eclipses than you. and i have seen firsthand what can (and USUALLY does) happen when someone tries doing things like this.

so you continue having fun "modding" to your hearts content. But please refrain from telling people how harmless, easy, and cheap it is, as its none of the 3, especially to the average consumer. can it be done? yes. should it? in most cases, probably not. (unless people like to spend money and fix things.)

Ummmmm.... Did you read your first post in this topic recently? Here is it qutoed for you: "you will utterly destroy your stock 2.4 liter with an upgrade like that. "

That doesn't sound like an opinion to me. It sounds like you are stating a fact. The fact is, that statement is incorrect at least, and an outright lie at worst. Don't lecture me about posting opinions when you came in blurting out statements like I just quoted. You're just trying to cover your ass. The statement I quoted was the whole reason I came down on you hard. If you care to retract it, or restate it with "In my opinion", I'm all ears.

I guess you don't know for sure then, do you.

my "proof" is simply this. Â*ive worked on these cars for over 10 years. </div> I want you to acknowledge, that although you've been working on these cars for 10 years, that you really have no idea how a *PROPERLY* converted car will perform or react maintenance wise. The 4G64 is, in my opinion, both stronger and has more HP capabilities than the 4G63T, and thus deserves our respect as an excellent candidate for high performance modding.

As of yet, you've offered no proof or reason why I should change what I tell people. Is it harmless, easy and cheap for everyone? NO, and I never said that. However, in the proper hands, the 4G64 is a engine that can be taken beyond what any 4G63T could be. Give me a stock 4G63T and a stock 4G64, and an equal amount of money. You better believe the 4G64 will make *at least* 50HP more than the 4G63T.
