My swedish galant projekt (turbo + styling)

[Henke_hinken]

Hello.

My name is Henrik and im from sweden, so excuse my english. I hope you understand what I write :)
I have been dropping in on this forum several times, and you guys have helped me alot. But I havent made a user, so now is the time.

I thought I could share what Ive been doing in the garage for ~ 6 months.

The link is to swedens largest carsite, and my project thread. I dont have the time to translate the project to english, but if you have questions you are welcome to ask. And it has many pictures so even if you dont understand the text you will understand by looking at the pictures. Its 17 pages at this time.

The manifold needs some reinforcement...I can see the runners cracking either where they meet to the cylinder head flange or the turbo flange. What grade of piping did you use?

I am trying to understand why you went with a individual throttle body manifold?

[RAZ_76]

Welcome to TGC! I was looking thru your pictures and I have to say that you do some outstanding job. Bravo man. Good job.

[2002BlackDragon]

Looking good bro!!! Keep it up. Get us a video of when the engine is running.

[fatal1]

i skipped through some pages but overall mn you do some great work...a lot of time was put into that car i see. my only nitpicks with the car is the spoiler and i was never a fan of that front bumper

The inlet manifold runners are actually milled from a solid bar of aluminum, but since my brother hadn´t figured out how to weld aluminum with his newly bought TIG welder at the time he glued the runners to the cylinder flange with JB Weld. He is almost expecting the glue to crack, but when it does we will get it welded in no time. Just because everyone goes for fuel injection we decided to use carburators, so it is actually 38mm Mikuni carbs from a Suzuki GSXR 750 instead of throttle bodies.

Thank you :D

Thanks, I promise I will post videos.

Thank you, I am also sceptical about the spoiler. Im thinking about 4 black sharkfins on the trunk. I have seen a supra with 4 sharkfins on the roof, and that looked badass imo. I like the bumper. Its not as usual here as in USA.

[9G]

interesting.

[kolio]

holy shit!

alot of work done, keep it up!

[Henke_hinken]

interesting.

Im glad you think so :)


holy shit!

alot of work done, keep it up!

Thanks. A few hours has gone by in the garage ;) and more to come.
I hope to be able to start the engine before winter, and for it to be ready for paint in the end of the winter.

I guess time will tell if the exhaust manifold will crack, but the K24 turbo is very lightweight compared to larger ones like Holsets HX-series so I think that it will survive. I have no idea of the grading, but it is the same quality that other tuning companies around here use. Mild steel, no SS.

[SkylineG1]

My hats off to you. That is some hell of a work. Great job man . I'll keep chcking in on this build.

[Stewi]

Nice job. Alot of work, well done.

At the end im saying to myself "Why did he weld up the whole intake manifold but still not flange for the TB?"

JACKASS. 5 mins before that I was in awe at the ITB setup, that I soon neglected to realize was still there.

[mko]

Well done my friend! I wish I had a garage, like you do, to work on my car. A lot more stuff would be done untill now. Love the Evo hood scoop, but no like the body kit - I personally like the stock front bumper better. Hopefully that 1.8L will spool up the turbo nicely! I dont understand the use of 4 throttle bodies when you dont have forged internals and cant boost more than 12psi, and with these power outputs your manifold is not really restrictive. A simple 60mm throttle body swap wouldve been enough, but respect for the custom intake manifold.

I saw your G had rear disk brakes, and its weird cuz only one USDM Galant, the GS trim, comes with that setup. And I see your is not a DOHC model either which makes me think that EU models are more hooked up than the US Galants

[bmore303]

Wow, this is looking great :) . Not fond of the kit, but the work is still amazing. Keep it up

[G-spot]

looking great, love the "evo hood" :)

[khudo]

this is what i call craftsmanship... can't wait to see the final product. :D goodluck!

[peanotation]

man it looks like you had some serious fun, amazing workload! there's some clever ideas you're coming up, this looks like an awesome build.

honestly? it all looks great except for the wing....ditch the wing. anything but a JDM or Evo8 wing is hard to agree with on the 7G. stock wing works well also...

[whokilledhoughes]

wow...great work so far...looking foward to see how this ends up

[gtx]

That's some really neat work you did there, I wish I could play with metal like that.
And here's the Google Engrish version (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&u=http://www.garaget.org/forum/viewtopic.php%3Fid%3D73151%26action%3Dnew&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dgalant%2Bsite:http://www.garaget.org/forum%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DhlR%26sa%3DG) :D

[Gtsnapper]

Nice work Henke, using GSXR carburetors is a really cool idea.

Now all you need to do is enter it into 'Getaway In Stockholm'. :D j/k

[phizzalot]

nice work, I duno about the custom manifold, Maybe buying one is hard to come by over there but either way it gets the job done probably at a fraction of the cost...

Iam loving the itb's as well and it should give that 7g a unique sound :) Your external and internal custom parts look pretty cool too but Like everyone else, the Wing has got to go IMO...

Good luck and can't wait to see more pics and a vid of it running :)

[PogiGreg]

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!! That is some damn good work and ingenuity on your part.

[JDM4G64T]

My hats off to you. That is some hell of a work. Great job man . I'll keep chcking in on this build.

[evil-G-nius]

I agree with everyone here. Great work...some real interesting ideas and choices. And absolutely skip the wing. Other than that...cant wait to see the finished product and maybe some videos! Welcome!

[galantryinbattle]

wow every single picture in there really blew me away. Very impressive fabrication skills and I really like how many different ideas you have incorporated into your build. Not to mention you are still doing bodywork and repairs to an aged vehicle, that shows alot of dedication that most people don't even have, and beyond that even you went your own way with the intake system itself and completely re-engineered the entire thing just becuase you could. That is seriously hardcore man, you are a badass dude

[Henke_hinken]

Thanks for the amazing feedback guys :)

Some more work have been done on the car. Dont know how much you have seen.

Here is the project from page 19: http://www.garaget.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=73151&p=19

The newest update (from yesterday) is on page 21.

If you want you can use the google webpage translator, but the images gets a bit smaller if you do that.

I have ditched the wing and come up with a new idea that includes 4 sharkfins. Please check it out on page 21 and tell me what you think. I think it is going to be nice and clean. The sharkfins are going to be black and the car olivegreen (saabs arbourgreen).

*thumbs up*

[Galante]

Can't wait for you to finish the build.

[djplay]

amazing build

[DOHCstunr]

just insane man. lol.
Can't wait to see the finished project!

Nice setup, that mini mac fits into the CD slot perfectly. Might have to get me one.

Awesome. Can't wait to see the widebody finished!

[audio_uphoria]

That's a pretty extensive build! I'm glad it's not in english or I would've spent hours reading that thread. Looking good.

[vr_v6]

I've seen the progress. I'm not a fan of bodykits when it comes to 7G's but yours awesome, it going great with the fender flares. and oh, put some cannards as well.

Can't wait to see your finished project. Goodluck and great work!

Did anyone notice that the engine had knock sensor, and i guessing it comes with it stock

[ShiZnitH]

Well done my swedish neighbor ;) Take the G to Rudskogen Racetrack on Gatebil Festivalen in july this year :D I will deff check it out.

[PogiGreg]

I guess this is what everybody means anything is possible with the right amount of money.

[briggs]

you euro guys know how to do stuff, I've seen the bike carbs on the car before, never with a turbo though. I'm guessing this wont pass smog. definatley need to see a quarter mile video

[qnz]

when this car is ready, i think it needs to be nominated for car of the month

[briggs]

ok I have a question, most bike carb conversions are on 1600cc type engines, because the velocity stacks on teh carbs just can't allow enough air. I see you solving that with a turbo, however what did you do to get the fuel mixture right. I have a cbr 900 thats jetted and it's a bitch to balance, and get the mixture right. what size main jets are you using ?

[G-spot]

that's a lot of work but it certinly paid off!

[mko]

can this navigator mouse thing on top of the canter console be used as an actual pc mouse. thanks

[ricky_db]

nice.. very nice

I guess it wont pass smog, but Im not even planning to try.
I´ll take the ticket.

Thanks man, that would be awsome :P

Well, I just got the MSD ignition to work. So I havent started to jett the carbs properly yet.

It´s gonna be a pain in the ass. But it is a part of the process.

Thanks, it havent paid off quit yet. But I hope it will :)


can this navigator mouse thing on top of the canter console be used as an actual pc mouse. thanks

Yes it can, but I rather use the touchscreen or even the iphone. For the most parts it will be in front row, so I dont need a mouse that much.


nice.. very nice

Thanks :)

[johnygezony]

Very Unique !

[Stewi]

I dont know how i missed this thread.

Nice work so far....

the turbo mini-bike is out of control I dont know how anyone would could keep it down on both wheels

[galantegz]

Awesome-jaw-dropping project! Browsed through the entire pages on Garaget and based on all the images that I've seen man your car went thru some serious metamorphesis. Very interesting concept from adding fender flares to hooking up a mini-mac along with a flat screen monitor mounted on a dashboard. Waw! A lot of members here would take one project at a time but on your end you have gone full on! Excellent work and I can't wait to see the final result.
