My car is ALIVE ! UPDATE 10/13/07 SMALL VID PAGE 2

[Stewi]

Built 2.4 w/built EVO head it runs, it drives and it Idles (finally!)

I am in a wedding tomorrow, and im heading over to the rehersal dinner/lunch right now. No vids yet, maybe monday. I got a few boost leaks, bad IAT ground and a small oil leak from the turbo return, but that stuff will be fixed in a matter of a few hours.

I am going to road tune it this week and hopefully run at E-town for mitsu day on the 22nd

VIDEO, Sorry its really short my camera was out of memory because I took a bunch of pics at my friends wedding yesterday. The clanking in the video is the exhaust hitting against the rear suspension cross member because I broke a hanger.

Ignition Failsafe Sensor\

I never had one with the EVO motor, and I havent had a galant engine in 3 years. I looked thru all the diagrams and its the only thing I couldnt find under the hood to check. Went to the local junkyard and got it from a wrecked 99 8g, installed it, no more problems.

[Prophet]

Congrats Stewi! Glad you never got rid of it and decided to do the build...

[milo111000]

hurry up and post a clip already!!!!!!!

[Predat-R]

wheres the pics already,sleeper been talking about it.........post,post,post....cant wait see it in person.

[DNSerrano]

Nice, what are the parts you used into building up the head? HKS?

[SkylineG1]

Nicey!! Good work Brian.

[Stewi]

Nice, what are the parts you used into building up the head? HKS?

new "revised" 3mm lifters, +1mm SuperTech Stainless valves with Nitride coating, crower valve springs w/titanium retainers and HKS 272 cams. And the head got the basic machine work treatment, all threaded holes were cleaned and tapped, head was checked for tolerances, all the chambers were cleaned up then it was cut and polished to accept the MLS headgasket. The only thing I didnt do to the head was port and polish because the stock EVO heads flow enough for over 600whp so I invested the money where it would yield a better return.

[SLS2000]

pics and video!

[99 galant]

sounds nice good work

[Sleepervr-4]

Sweet :mrgreen:

[4g63lover]

does it idle properly yet? I cant tell from that video. Sounds mean as hell though. Im surprised it doesnt idle surge when you first start it.

[seth98esT]

Looks/sounds like it revs very fast! I want cams!

[Stewi]

We got it to idle pretty good around 1100RPMs which is a little high, but im not worried about it yet, once I get a few hundred miles on it, we will mess with the idle a bit more. I should be taking it out later this week for some road tuning and then to the dyno a week or two after.

cool. 272/272's are going to lope like a mother! my buddy's 264/264 on his 240 barely idles after it surges for straight ten minutes. Pretty impressed that your Galant isnt surging with bigger cams.

[HeadAche]

Glad to see you finally got it running Brian.....

It only has crazy surge when the base idle is low around 800 or so, with the idle at 1100 the surge is about 75% gone.

So is this like your 3rd time around with a 8g with a 4G63 in it? 8) Very nice man..the car sounds nice, I love the lobed sound of a cammed 4G63.

Cams are my next mod on the GVR4...but only 264's, anything bigger on a EVO3 B16g is way overkill.

A vid with some WOT pulls is a must :wink:

Nah this is my FIRST time around with a 4G64 swapped to DOHC

[Stewi]

UPDATE!!!!

Ok, so I finally got the signals to work, and now the SRS Light is on, ohh well, thats not gonna stop me from driving it.

So I took it out for a quick drive and im pretty happy with it. First gear feels really good, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are very rough because of the tune. We did the base tune in 80 degree weather and today it was 54 degree's, so its running very lean. I only drove it for about 10 minutes, because it was leaning out and my speed was limited to about 30mph because of this. The bad news is my tuner is super busy for the next few weeks and I wont be able to get it re-tuned until november, so the car wont be at the Floyd bennet meet, but I will still roll in my other car. The motor is very responsive, it revs very very fast, im estimating full boost of 25psi to be about 3500RPMs and thats with an SC61 non-ball bearing turbo.

Here is a small vid I took in the driveway.
