i'll update this thred as things progress.....

[bmaddock]

I want to steal it. Amazing car, end of story.

Love the fogs btw.

[9G]

nice

[kolio]

the car looks fantastic. great work!

[Ivory8g]

good shit bro! lots of great work!

[6G72T]

i love the fabrication progress of something new and different. It looks like you are the "go-to" guy out there aren't you? lol

[JayRome]

thanks guys, to get things made down here is pritty expensive. and unlike you guys in the US, we cant buy alot of things just by walking into the closes hardware shop with materials and such, thus no choice but to fabricate it.

this project is almost finished, soo looking into either a 1989 ZR4 so i can transplant some mods from my GSR to it or... an 8G VR4 Galant/Legnum, funny thing here is, all the newer import Galants are all VR4 but mostly auto and the rare manual.. if plans go ahead with the bank (missus), stay tuned for all the custom mods to an 8G Galant/Legnum. should be fun...

oh and 9G bro, your sig is freakin distracting!

a few extra things..

and my bonnet was damaged by rocks when i was following a truck so its currently in primer again..
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s61/JayRome112/IMAG0180.jpg

i'll keep you all posted... i wish i was in the US to join you guys for a cruise!

[SkylineG1]

Man that car is sex... love the fogs

[rollingwithdubz]

wow, you are one hell of a fabricator.... and you have yourself a sick one-of-a-kind ride!!

[ShiZnitH]

Nice work :cool:

[Goku]

Very nice looking eterna :D

Most of the ones we have over here are scrap metal now, all except for the ZR-4's really

[JayRome]

i wish we had more ZR4's down here, we seem to have shiz loads of VR4's US/Aus/Jap spec's but only... 3 ZR4's that i know of..

currently bidding on a supercharger from a Merc Eaton M45, if all goes to plan that will be bolted onto my engine instead if the EVO turbo.... better on the fuel econ..

and many thanks for the kind words guys.....

[IceDouTGaLanT]

wow thats a nice project u got going thier, i never seen one of those cars ever

[99 galant]

wow awesome work

[Alexey]

Nice ride!

[skyhigh90210]

Looks good man, keep up the good work!

I think you mean "over" not down lol, I'm from NZ man.

You could probably import one from here easily enough

[JayRome]

I think you mean "over" not down lol, I'm from NZ man.

You could probably import one from here easily enough

ahaha yes "over" here..

last time i checked its the same price importing a car from Japan or NZ...... and theres heaps of Jap importers/compliance places poping up these days over here...

trademe seems to have heaps of galant parts though..

[JayRome]

few updates....

i turfed the Turbo project, as everyone else has done it.....

it will now be blown by an Eaton M45..

[9G]

nice

[greddy]

that's awesome, although your gas mileage will suffer in comparison to a turbo build.

[seth98esT]

Not really, you can still stay out of boost with a supercharger. Hey Jayrome, why not do a twin charge setup? Just have to figure out a clutch or something on the supercharger to stop building boost after 3500rpm or so. Twin charged 6g > supercharged > turbo 6g :)

Theres a guy on DSMTuners who did it with an Eaton M45, looked pretty sweet.

[Edit]
Sorry its an Eaton M62:

I'm just curious, how exactly do you stay out of boost with an SC? It's belt driven so it's constantly going once the engine is started? I mean granted, you can keep it @ low boost by not revving very high, but how do you stay completely out of boost.

[2002BlackDragon]

Your car is F'ing hot!!! Love it!

The puley has some sort of clutch built into it. After so many RPMs, the clutch engages and it no longer turns the shaft of the supercharger.

[JayRome]

actually plan was 7psi on the SC and 14 PSI on the EVO 7 turbo

i'm just bypassing the SC with a Waste gate, so when anything more then 7PSI hits the intake/SC it opens to bypass the SC all together... it will still be running but completely bypassed

[Ivory8g]

oh damn supercharged AND turbo. um overkill lol j/k DO IIIIIT!!!

[Ruslik]

great work man

[dmdvzla]

First time ever to see a hatchback 6G!!!

[JayRome]

thanks guys, work on the Water to Air intercooler starts tomorow... turbo kit also starts next week....

[mysticj]

nice, any updates?

[JayRome]

ahh, still yet to take a vid of how it pulls, will get on it asap...

it is running full VR4 engine managment, 450cc's and maf, etc.. justs needs eprom and tune.. or MicroTech... but already planning a V6 engine swap.... might even be a TT... lol just stay tuned for this odd conversion....

also getting 11lt/100km with thrashing here and there... i'm getting better fuel econ supercharged then when it was N/A lol....

[JayRome]

ok opinions please guys...

next upgrade??

keep the SC4G63 and add a Turbo thus TwinCharge??

or

turf the SC4G63 and dump a 6G72TT in there??

what ya'll think??

[trickytrick]

nice ride. u do great fab work. as for the the next upgrade i say get the 6g72tt but keep the old engine for a later project car

[skyhigh90210]

I say twin charge it, since no has done it yet.

[jimmy_o2]

x2

[JayRome]

lol...... building the remote mount turbo kit as we speak .... but also finding prices on an import 6g72tt.....

keep the opinions comin guys! i'm still confused on what to doo..

[JayRome]

bad news guys.....

supercharger decided to become a door stop during a twisties run..... went in a haze of glory... (blew oil into my intake mani..)

now replaced by a new custom turbo set up.... gets pritty good fuel economy now even with a heavy foot.. 9.5lt/100km

now using TD05HR 16G 9.8T (evo 8 reverse turbo)

WOW!

I have nothing else to say! that is just amazing!

Cool Car I like what you have done to it!

WOW!

[Dragon-and-his-mitsubishi]

Amazing man, first Eaton, then Turbo... What to say...
Ps: Seems like you only work on your car...:-D

[JayRome]

ahah yer thanks guys, 2 jobs and car work + gf.... i'd put it this way... i would rather drive hard then argue with the girlfriend....

its a pritty decent upgrade... with tuned length exhaust mani, theres hardly any lag, and the turbo spools pritty quick 3k - redline (running at only 6psi on 11:1 comp, but turbo can handle an easy 18psi easy everyday). its one of the first Reverse turbo setups on the early 4G63 Galants in Aus, must admit all the work paid off in the fun i'v been having...

evo 7 cooler on the way.. the stock Jspec VR4 cooler is a little small for my liking... stay tuned for the custom exhaust...

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s61/JayRome112/IMAG0563.jpg

had to make way for the cooler...

[Joshua42007]

Damn awsome car man, awsome work. Way to go on the DIY part, you got alot of talent. Ive never seen anything like it ever, and nice weld beads btw. keep up the good work, id like to see more.
