GalantTuner10's build

[Galanttuner10]

Alright so it has begun. I have been lurking in the shadows while piecing everything together and now its time to reveal my master plan.
My 7g will be undergoing a major transformation in the next couple of months to a year.

The Plan:
5 spd swap
rear disc swap
tokico suspension kit
cleared corner head lights
and last but not least
the installation of the turbo setup

so far:
i have the headlights and the 14b turbo
will be ordering the suspension kit very soon
all turbo parts within the next month or 2
and when that is all set im going to gather all the 5 spd parts and then when the auto shits the bed the 5 spd is ready 2 go in

im waitin to do the swap as this tranny is only 4 months old and is in great shape
ill keep you posted as i gather new parts and ill inclusde some pics along the way

[Stewi]

yes...kill the auto!!!

[Galanttuner10]

yea brian im gonna fry the auto then swap it.. might as well get some use out of it..

turbo arrived 2day and i checked it out and everything checks out.. its in the same condition as the last time i saw it when i took it outta his car

[Galanttuner10]

alright we r moving along and the intercooler got here 2day.. its a 27x5.5x2.5 with 2 inch i got it instead of an evo 8 intercooler cuz im leaving the stock bumber and this intercooler will run right along the bottom opening

ill have 2 take some pics of everything as i have the tokico suspension kit and the sway bar and the headlights im just getting the rest of the turbo parts before i snap some picks

[Galanttuner10]

i got bored and did the headlights the other day and heres how they came out

[Galanttuner10]

im at a little bit of a cross road.. i am going 2 also be getting a 2g head and stuff. heres the choice and id like some input on this. i was thinking of just going dohc and doing the ecu swap for now.. then when i convert it 2 5 spd then make it turbo

any input is nice.. i know the auto will blow with the turbo and the added top end of the dohc can hold me till i go 5 spd

or i can go turbo on stock motor as i first planned and hope the auto holds

or ai can do it all at once

remember im not going 5spd anytime soon.. wut should i do?

[Galanttuner10]

i finally got the time to take some pics of some of my parts:

[Galant306m]

that intercooler is tinny.

[4-G-rim]

Dude..you put you parts on the same place you sleep? Gross:smt037

[Galanttuner10]

haha 4grim i dont have them there but i had both garages full as it was snowing out lmao

and the intercooler may look tinny but its not.. its pretty solid.. i think the flash reflecting off it made it look that way

[Galanttuner10]

just recieved my 1g throttle body no pics as of right now as im cleaning it up a bit

[Galant306m]

i got a blow off valve ill sell you cheap, and no not my hks one ahahaha. i got a hks type its just like the hks but not a hks haha. Its a sequential blow off valve.

[greddy]

get an evo 9 factory bypass valve, very reliable, cheap, evo guys keep theirs for a reason, unless of course you want the noisy psh noise

[Galant306m]

Fine greddy ruin a sale hahah jk.! its all good if he doesn't want it i throw it up on ebay.

[greddy]

not trying to ruin the sale, I'm just suggesting it, a lot of DSM guys are using them as well rather than going aftermarket

[Galant306m]

lol its cool i was just letting him know that i had a extra one laying around and if he wanted it, it was his for the taking before i decide to put it up on ebay. lol

[Galanttuner10]

haha its all good.. i have a crushed 1g bov ill be using so i have no need for it

[Galanttuner10]

so heres a little update on my g.. the suspenion will be done in 2 weeks.. turbo hopefully by june and i plan on going AWD in july.. the awd is probably the most fun idea i have had for the car and i am looking forward to making it happen hopefully this summer

[Galanttuner10]

my g is now slammed it sits so nice.. turbo coming soon!!!!!!!

[DOHCstunr]

Pics!

[Galanttuner10]

you can see some pics of how its sitting now in the pics from the meet we had in jersey yesterday only thing is the front rims arent back on as i need 2 new tires for them pics will be up when that happens

[Galanttuner10]

finally got a second to take some pics of the car since the drop.. i know the car is dirty but it was clean yesterday lol

[blue8g]

this build will be EPIC! awd in a G ftw!

[greddy]

^looks nice, rear sits a little low for my taste though, looks like you have blown shocks or something

[seth98esT]

Looks good, great drop. Not like these other Galants that are lowered, yet still have wheel gap lol! Just needs some small spacers in back and possibly up front to fill the voided space.

[therev]

the back is low cuz i have the other 2 tires and all my tools in the back it sits a lil higher but is mint and im on a major hill
i forgot i was under this name oops

[01galant01]

looks good.

[Galanttuner10]

turbo is going in over the next 2 weeks. thats all 4 now 5 spd coming this summer and dohc soon to follow

[starh4x]

it looks awesome man! lol your missing a monsoon shield!

[ZigenScarface]

build build build! i wanna see.. also gont forget about that mnaifold

[Galanttuner10]

ok dude i wont when i get back ill get right on it i leave 2morrow and have no time but when i get back ill c wut i can do

[Galanttuner10]

it looks awesome man! lol your missing a monsoon shield!

i was cleanin my car after an ice storm hit the wind shield at just the right angle and it popped off lol

[ZigenScarface]

haha no rush man.. whenevers good 4 u

[Rayth]

i think i like it better when the rims dont match haha

[4g63lover]

looks sweet.

[therev]

Chris sent me these updated pics of his turbo build in progress! He hasn't got internet but asked me to post for him. Sent via cell phone

~Gabe

[Galanttuner10]

build is still in progress.. gauges intercooler and many other things are in and taken care of.. next is fuel system and turbo cpu and get that running well then its turbo time..
build is taking longer cuz i wanna do it right

[4-G-rim]

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i81/Therev73/img1238374065833.jpg

I am trying to understand this picture.

[ZigenScarface]

it looks like the fmic is mounted vertically insted of horizontally

[Galanttuner10]

it looks like the fmic is mounted vertically insted of horizontally

yes exactly it is laid flat and flows very well in that position and no1 can c it at all

[Voodoo]

yes exactly it is laid flat and flows very well in that position

Who told you that?

[Proto]

That FMIC isn't going to get much air to it at all...

[Galanttuner10]

its not a matter of who told me that its a matter of ive done it before on a turbo tbird and it flows very well there.. it isnt something any of you have done so dont think you guys all know.. and if there is an issue i can change it later on.. im not worried about where it is at all

[Galant306m]

Lol yea that turbo is going to get hot as hell

[Galanttuner10]

Lol yea that turbo is going to get hot as hell

turbo gets hot anyway its a matter of heatsoaking the intercooler and causing overheatinf of the system.. but it flows well there trust me

[4g63lover]

turbo gets hot anyway its a matter of heatsoaking the intercooler and causing overheatinf of the system.. but it flows well there trust me

I think MItch meant the air flowing through the turbo will be hotter than usual.

If you say it works by experience then I wont go against you. But I highly doubt its efficient in that spot.

and I've tried it all, SMIC, FMIC, TMIC, etc. I've even played around with air-water intercoolers.

are you going to make a duct that will direct air into the intercooler atleast??

well, nonetheless good luck with the build hope it all works out for you

if you look at the design of the bumper all the air comes in below the radiator and everything and is directed up.. theres a piece that helps push the air up.. i know it gets air and flow cuz driving in any wet conditions the top od the intercooler is covered and the only way water can get there is from underneath

or its coming in through the grill.

Lol before my G1 cut my post off it read

That turbo is going to get hot which having your FMIC mounted like that and not getting alot of air the intake temp is going to be outrageous.!

[Proto]

From owning a turbo eclipse and working on various other turbo cars... you are going to heat soak very bad..

[4g63lover]

From owning a turbo eclipse and working on various other turbo cars... you are going to heat soak very bad..

agreed. we're all just trying to help you bro.

Try it like that, tune it and see how much power you make.

on the same tune, mount it the right way and see how much power you make then.

it will be a big difference and the intake temperatures wont be as high.

[greddy]

I'd like to see the results with this IC setup, there are quite a few Rx7s running V mounted intercoolers that are almost laid flat, and they seem to do just fine, so we'll see

[Galant306m]

i think it could do fine, i mean i like the idea but i think the way the 7g front is made not much air makes it to the top. I might make up a duct for you if you want just send me the dimensions of your FMIC and i will use my usdm bumper and make something for you to direct air to the fmic.

[greddy]

^I agree with you completely, as long as there is proper ducting, he should be fine

[Galant306m]

i think i will cad something up tonight when i get off of work. should be easy to make

[Voodoo]

We must also not forget about the temperature of the air after passing through the intercooler. While a complicated duct that somehow manages to not block the radiator (while still providing enough cool air to the intercooler to not make it completely useless) seems like a reasonable band-aid, the air will be flowing straight into the hood latch area and the hood, greatly decreasing the velocity. In a normal FMIC setup, the air flows straight through the intercooler to the radiator, and is then pulled through by the cooling fans into what is usually a reasonably open space in the engine compartment, instead of trying to cram all of the air into a tiny area by the hood latch. There's a reason that most factory radiators and intercoolers (the STI being an exception) are mounted perpendicular to the ground. I'm no mechanical engineer or expert in fluid dynamics, but it kinda just makes sense.

exactly i took this mounting idea from that style and this is how we did it on the tbird

the air is coming from underneath not above and the 7g bumper gets plenty air in and it gets turned up toward the radiator and such.. there is no right way to mount an intercooler only the commonly accepted way

[johnygezony]

It all takes faith.......

hey i hope youre right. with the bumper you have its hard to see anything thru it anyway. the location will also make the IC piping route longer and as far as i know many DSMers prefer a shorter route piping

[bmore303]

Get an IAT sensor and test both positions. Arguing the physics of this would be a waste of time and would go over most peoples head's.

[Proto]

shorter piping and mounting the IC the proper way is the best way. i still think in the spring and summer you are going to heat soak like a DSM with a 50 trim on a stock sidemount :lol:

[Galanttuner10]

piping isnt as long as you guys think and i will make it the shortest i can no long ways for me.. and i usually dont drive too far and i dont beat the shit outta my g so it shouldnt heatsoak often at all

[Galanttuner10]

ok heres a little update.. suspension has been done and i put on the rear sway bar

i have the 63t head just waiting to be put on, but due to lack of funds i have decided to turbo first headswap later like next spring...

the 14b that i had blew up shortly after a preliminary run on my car, it was on my buddies talon as he already blew his up 2 days before and i have just picked up another one in much better condition than the old one

due to space issue i will be mounting the intercooler more in the traditional manner but still angled a bit.. piping is going to be 2.5 inch aluminum, tbolt clamps etc and im welding on the 1g bov flange as thats my choice of bov

exhaust due to me already getting an exhaust ticket for my car will be a stock 2g downpipe with my cat back, as they are the same diameter and it will not be as loud as the megan racing 3 inch and adds to the sleeper look for now.. prolly will go 3 inch and an evo3 16g later on but for now this will do

im wiring in the safc and resistor pack and im just debating about the ecu swap as i dont want to mess up the pins and such but i might go stock ecu for now just tune it the best i can with the safc and keep the boost set at 8 psi and never higher than 10 as is

[Galant306m]

i got another auto trans for you when you blow the one you have now up! :)

Post some pics man lol, we need to see where you are at.

[Galanttuner10]

i got another auto trans for you when you blow the one you have now up! :)

Post some pics man lol, we need to see where you are at.

well ill get pics later on one of these days.. i just need the new 3 inch downpipe to come in and the intercooler piping and im ready to go turbo.. headswap will be over the winter and 5 spd prolly next summer

and i hope i dont need that other tranny.. this one is still mint and its only been in for almost a year now.. i dont paln on beating her up 2 bad :FIREdevil:

o and i am picking up a set of jdm tails within the next week

[Galanttuner10]

so as an update...

intercooler piping is coming in next week

got my downpipe and j pipe 2day

also picked up a b16g that was sitting at my buddies house for free, but will only use the 14b on the stock little 64 for now

ordering wally 255 next week

picking up a 2g oil pan and all the water and oil lines next week

then hooking it all up hopefully by my birthday august 27th

[Galanttuner10]

all turbo parts have been here for a while, but working 6 days a week leaves little time to work on the car

i have put the stock suspension back up front preping it for the cold months, and shortly after showing up at the JY to get the shocks and springs i realize its a 5 speed 7G with everything in it and they only want 325 for everything and they are pulling the tranny i pull the reast, clutch slave and master, cables pedal etc so that will be happening next month

turbo will be next summer and hopefully the headswap will be as well

[Galanttuner10]

i thinkim gonna pick up zigens 7g for the 5 spd and spare parts

anyway i got my VR4 wing today

5 speed swap soon to come!!!!!!!!!!

[sponcar]

^Damnn I can't wait to see it on ure 7g...

[Galanttuner10]

i cant wait either... its not black but its a nice color so i cant decide if i wanna paint it to match the car.. i was thinking of painting it tomorrow and mounting it this weekend

[kondypl]

Cant wait to see the pics :crazymary:

[ShiZnitH]

Oooh. Thats gonna look niiiice :D

[Galanttuner10]

im mounting the wing friday.. it will be this color as the paint is in really good shape.. and i might repaint the car this color so i dont wanna ruin it

[Galanttuner10]

wing has been on for a while

[RedLine DOHC]

if you want to use your 16g I would like to buy the 14b... mine needs a new turbine bad...damn USPS

[Galanttuner10]

i have the 16g and will be rebuilding it as a 20g prolly in the future.. so redline.. you are turbo or planning on it?

[RedLine DOHC]

plans.... just got my deployment notice so the plan for spring is now out the window, I have a 14b already but the postal service must have played soccer with the box it came in, there are 4 turbine blades that are in more then one piece, and the pieces were floating around in the box

[Galanttuner10]

dude thats messed up.. im not selling the 14b as there is no shaft play or bent fins and the 16g needs a rebuild but still works oddly enough.. id say save then decide on what you really wanna do..

my parts for the turbo with everything will be around 2k to 3k and its a pretty basic build, i put money into tuning(MAFT PRO 400 bucks just for it)

decide if you just want a turbo or if you wanna build the motor as well and get a bigger turbo or something

[mko]

you better rebuild that TB and clean the passages inside. The seals on my TB were garbage, but I couldnt take a chance of having some stupid ass leak like this. Youll have to figure out if youre gonna rewire the IAC or use block off plate. And better read up about the vacuum line rerouting, cuz you want to use OBD1 TB in OBD2 car.

[Galanttuner10]

yea mko.. im really researching on the dsm forums as they do this swap all the time in a 2g so that is really the least of my worries.. and i did plan on using the block off.. seals seem good and everything i might not venture fully with the TB until i do the head swap

[Voodoo]

3" downpipe on a 14b turbo?

[Galanttuner10]

3" downpipe on a 14b turbo?

i have a B16G as well.. and it wont hurt anything having the 3 inch dp on the 14b.. it happens all the time on dsms if you havent noticed

[DOHCstunr]

3" downpipe on a 14b turbo?

100x better then the stock downpipe on a 14b turbo.

[DOHCstunr]

only way to tell if the throttle shaft seals are good or not is to do a boost leak test after you've installed everything(including the throttle body)

with that said, if you haven't rebuilt that throttle... its about 99.9% a sure thing that those seals are original, and about 100% sure if they are original then they will leak under boost and kill your tune.

Im thinking this is where my vacuum leak is coming from.. Do you have a link where i can buy the seals? Or is all of that shit on v-faq?

ok.. i have all winter to rebuild it if i go that route

and john.. im gonna pick the rear dash and center caps up like next week so just pm me the cost cuz u said 35 then lemme know shipping and ill paypal you

in other news..vr4 strut bar is on and i cant believe the difference.. i was always skeptic of those things but not any more

[Galanttuner10]

so i got my new rotors and pads in from R1 concepts yesterday and they are going on tomorrow along with new calipers as well.. pics to follow.. they are only oe blanks nothing too fancy

[4-G-rim]

If you plan to have the TB rebuilt, especially having the throttle plate shaft seals replaced I have a guy that does immaculate job on doing them with TONS of experience. He did my TB on my GVR4 and bored it 64mm at a very reasonable price. PM me here or on GT and I will get you the info.

[Galanttuner10]

interested PM sent

[Galanttuner10]

so in recent news im doing some minor upgrades to the car and stuff prepping it for later.. i got the rear dash out of Johns old black GS so there is no more cutout for the 3rd brake light and i also got his GS rear calipers and brackets

i also got the rear backing plates already assembled for the disc swap from MKO and all i need are rotors and im getting new pads

thanks again guys

i put in the rear dash today and man you dont think its major but it looks a lot cleaner now without the little cutout

[letsrunem]

Dash? Douche

[Galant306m]

i just called it a rear deck lid. LOL and im a nazi?

[Galanttuner10]

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo175/Galanttuner10/DSCF0014.jpg

[ZigenScarface]

u wanna refab ur deck lid and get rid of the hole?

[Galanttuner10]

u wanna refab ur deck lid and get rid of the hole?

no Gary, i got one without the hole from John's old black GS so there is no more hole

[DOHCstunr]

no Gary, i got one without the hole from John's old black GS so there is no more hole

yeah the GS came factory equipped with a spoiler(not dealer installed)
as such, the rear deck did not have the third brakelight in it, and so the rear deck is smooth where the brake light would have been.

[Galanttuner10]

should be picking up an Evo 3 O2 housing tomorrow and ordering all new OEM mitsu bolts and gaskets.. i have decided on an SAFC for now. i know its not the greatest, but its easy to tune and wont be too restrictive for now.

also. i am taking the 7 cm housing off my 16G and putting it on the 14b along with the ported 2g mani and evo 3 O2 housing i should be set there

[mko]

Just a heads up. Evo 3 O2 housing is different. The outlet is 2.5'', the bolts are at 4'' and its kind of tilted a bit. Now all ebay or vendor downpipes are meant for 2g O2 housing which will cause some problems , cuz youre gonna have to bend the flex pipe a lot and still may not be able to make it work w/o putting a lot of stress on the flex pipe. The pther thing is the bolt pattern - 2g downpipe has 3.5'' between the bolt holes. Just my 2cents

[Galanttuner10]

today i swapped the 6cm 14b housing out for the 7cm B16g housing. getting the Evo O2 soon

[Galant306m]

pics foo!!!

i want to see what you did

[letsrunem]

:icon_notworth: without pics

.....

[Galanttuner10]

pics foo!!!

i want to see what you did

ill take them apart again tomorrow after work and take some pics.. its a 10 minute thing if you take ur time.. only tools were a 10 wrench and a screw driver

[Shadow19]

ill take them apart again tomorrow after work and take some pics.. its a 10 minute thing if you take ur time.. only tools were a 10 wrench and a screw driver

10 wrenches and a screw driver! WOAH! lol........... Man i love fucking with people ;-)

[Galanttuner10]

i said 10 wrench as in 10mm

here are pics of me swapping the hot sides

[ZigenScarface]

that looks ported.. aftermarketly? and i kno the gs didnt have a deck light i just didnt read u got one

[Galanttuner10]

that looks ported.. aftermarketly? and i kno the gs didnt have a deck light i just didnt read u got one

the B16G housing was slightly ported haha

[4g63lover]

the B16G housing was slightly ported haha

slightly?? understatement.

[Galanttuner10]

slightly?? understatement.

yea i know it was like that when i got it so hey ill take it, that will help keep everything flowing smoothly

[Galant306m]

y are you swapping just run the damn 16g.

[Galanttuner10]

y are you swapping just run the damn 16g.

the 16g blew and needed a rebuild, so i swapped the housings and traded it for a dohc valve cover and the 16g was free so i made a good deal

[Galant306m]

oh

[Galanttuner10]

oh

yessir and im currently redoing the head. new lifter and valves. ive had the head for about 6 months now finally geting to it

[Galant306m]

pics foo.

[Galanttuner10]

head is currently at my buddies about an hr from me as hes rebuilding it as he has all the tools and the time.. can get a pic of the blue valve cover later, but im repainting that black with red and white letters

[Galanttuner10]

got my evo 3 o2 and MBC today

[Galanttuner10]

ordering all my new gaskets like the 7 cm gasket oil pan etc within the next 2 days along with a new AEM wideband to replace the narrow band and an SAFC 2

[letsrunem]

Good luck with the AEM, I've sent mine back twice and it still doesn't work.

[Galanttuner10]

Good luck with the AEM, I've sent mine back twice and it still doesn't work.

all the ones ive seen put in work fine on all the 1 and 2gs my buddy tunes. sorry you had bad luck with them

[Galanttuner10]

ok so i just dropped 300+ on parts... i paid the balance i owed my buddy on the head, new DOHC cam gears, new exhaust studs, gaskets all around, mani to turbo bolts, new o ring seals etc. i still need the timing belt and misc little things, but i have the bulk of it and the head and turbo will be going on in the spring.. march/april.. pics to come when i get the parts in

[Galanttuner10]

its the motor for the 1g that was originally going in the 2g, then almost another 2g then back to the 1g lol

[Shadow19]

god those colors are just so fucking GAY! Keep it black

[Galant306m]

Black Is wack

[Galanttuner10]

like the blue, prolly staying black cuz of having to repaint everything cuz im picky

so here was my day. talked to Austin over at thedsmgraveyard.com and he offered me quite an awesome deal from what ive seen.

4G64 block
OE Polished Crank
Machine Work literally the whole deal:

we can do the machine work for you it would be the whole works package for 250.00 which is hot tank deck bore paint and new freeze plugs.
Thanks Austin

all that for 800 shipped to me

Wiseco Pistons 9.0 compression 450
Manley Rods 305
ACL Main and rod bearings 50
not a bad day in my eyes

[Galant306m]

Meh id save the 250 and do the maching myself and most decks don't need to be touched anyways just hit that shit with a wire brush check the cylenders with a dial bore gauge and hone them back in.

machine work is awesome there, seen their work, and the honing and everything will be done. damn that was a lot of money dude

[Galant306m]

Get used to it, i was spending 1000-2500 each time i bought parts, when i bought my eprom, my fedanza, my exedy clutch, my ejectors, my ecm link and fuel pump its was close to 3k.

i tallied up all i bought in 1 day and its a lot. i still have about 2k plus left to go

need
fp 255 fuel pump
Aeromotive regulator kit
few misc gaskets
5 spd swap with fidanza flywheel and act 2600
many other goodies as well
im swapping over the full 97 eclipse harness so no guess work or rewiring got one for a good price from a friend

[seth98esT]

You still have to rewire the fuse box if you swap harness.

[ZigenScarface]

leave it to seth to take your dreams and smash them with a computer based video game....... _<360

[Galanttuner10]

You still have to rewire the fuse box if you swap harness.

you are correct sir. still weighing the option of doing it that way or cutting all the connections off that i need to use in the head swap and itll help with the ecu repinning

[seth98esT]

Not sure what ECU you are going to use, but since you have a 96(4-connector ECU), unless you go with a 1g ECU, keeping the 7g harness will be easier then swapping to a 2g harness.

You technically arent re-pinning the ECU, you are simply moving 4 or 5 wires around and adding a couple new pins.

[mko]

Dude cmon in 8 pages of build, you have like 6 pictures.

[Galanttuner10]

Dude cmon in 8 pages of build, you have like 6 pictures.

i know i dont control what ppl say in here. pics dont matter. how am i going to get u a pic of the new block when its at the shop in michigan and im in ct i have pics of most of my parts up besides that and the new head which i just oreder the new lifters head studs and everything else for. pics will come but honestly arent the only thing that matters

so you are going to run 10:1 compression now?

[Galanttuner10]

so you are going to run 10:1 compression now?

where does it say that mitch? my pistons are wisecos designed to go with the 63 head and give a compression of 9.0-9.3 depending on the setup.

[Galant306m]

9.0:1 pistons make you go 10:1 that's all I was thinking.

[Galanttuner10]

9.0:1 pistons make you go 10:1 that's all I was thinking.

if they were 9.0 compression for the SOHC then your right, but these are designed for the DOHC so the compression wont raise like yours did

[Galanttuner10]

Got my SAFC II today and im finishing the reasssembly of the head next week also im getting my valve cover powder coated soon as well. pics will be up soon i hope

[Galanttuner10]

got my 7G JDM window visors and my JDM tails are on the way. when the tails get here ill have to take pics of everything i have finally as ive been lazy but want to test out the new camera haha.

[warren]

man you bought the headlight already clear corner and 700 dollars of springs it too much go with hr jk

[mko]

what?

Nice job on that man. My car looked like your second picture after that nice rain we had, but then the snow with the salt, its a little worse than your first picture. I can't wash it because the pipes will freeze. Lol.

Can't wait to see more of the JDM when you get it put on, but those tails already make it look a lot better.

thanks man. the bumper and sides will be in within the next two weeks, only downside will be rocking a more multi colored car( grey wing, blue mud flaps, maroon sides, white or grey bumper) until i paint in the the summer but i can deal with it

[99 galant]

No doubt. A lot of guys on here have had multi-color for a while, it will look good in the end thats all that matters

yea i got them from that drsilvia and he got me the DE grilles too and i paid a total price for the grilles and tails as what hes asking for them on ebay.

getting the bumper and sides from everspring sports, where mitch and shodow got their bumpers and such. once they are here make sure everything is good then they will go on.

[Galanttuner10]

this is what i got today. dont mind the tape it was there from the packing and you can see the sides in the background. no major issues with any of the stuff. gonna clean it up and prolly paint it soon.

[Galanttuner10]

[mko]

yeah give it coat of black primer and put it on.

[Galanttuner10]

i just need like a few days to take care of the bumper and then need a whole day to put the bumper on so i can rewire the heads and wire in the fogs.

[03-Galant-ES]

haha sweet dude i wish i had a gf that would buy me shit haha .

I do :)

[Shadow19]

If you can use high fill primer i would suggest doing so. If your bumper was anything like mine when it came it was far from perfect and the high fill primer saved my ass. So good luck witht he bumper man!

i remember you saying you were going with a maft pro. Here is the wiring for the 7g if this helps you out. Youll have one hell of a time tuning your car with it in there.. so good luck.. Ive been catching hell because i dont know dick about tuning. MKO has helped me out alot and if i get a good base tune with my setup and you need the settings ill help you as much as i can.

[Galanttuner10]

i am going to use the spare safc out of the 1g that is now on link, but will go to maft or maybe link later on and this will help.

but anyway i painted the bumper and here was the result

[Galanttuner10]

question.... how did you paint your bumper?.... i got a new bumper and id like to paint it by myself...its already primered...whats the next step?

i used a duplicolor gloss black to hold me over until i get it painted this coming fall. its easy to do if you have a steady hand.

and thanks for the compliment Raz

[warren]

i love it

[Galanttuner10]

ive basically had the 5 speed swap for a few months as it was at my buddies junkyard, and now i feel its acually time to go pay for it and pick it up. so ill be getting it by the end of next week. then gotta get the new clutch, new clutch fork, pivot ball, shifter bushings and flywheel

going with an ACT 2100 6 puck unsprung and a fidanza 8.5 lb flywheel

[Shadow19]

Hey man if youre interested in a flywheel lmk. Its a gripforce lightweight flywheel wih 400 miles on it. check my FS thread and LMK!

[DOHCstunr]

My advice...?
Don't get a riveted hub on your daily driver. It WILL chatter and have harsh engagement.

4 puck, 6 puck, all fine... Just make sure they are sprung for a street car.

[Galanttuner10]

4 puck, 6 puck, all fine... Just make sure they are sprung for a street car.

i was looking at a 6 puck unsprung as its on the 1g daily my buddy has that ive driven and it seemed smooth to me. same clutch and flywheel i was looking into because of that.

might go 6 puck sprung then from what you are saying but i will see in a month or 2

[Galanttuner10]

ok so here is an update. picked up the 1g prop valve to finish the rear disc swap parts so that will be happening within the next 2 weeks

the cylinder head is being disassembled and cleaned and planed as we speak at the machine shop and i have all the parts for that now all gaskets and parts etc

full turbo setup ready to go just need to pick up a wideband and im good to go

and today i just picked up the whole 5 speed swap today. everything needed all bolts fittings clips everything. i have a lightweight flywheel and i am picking up an ACT 2100 this weekend and i want to have it in by the end of june.

i have all the parts but no time.. man i need a daily lol

[Galanttuner10]

no comments :(

must not believe i have all that.. going to snapp pics right now as im finally home

[Galanttuner10]

i did the rear disc swap sunday. man i wish i did it years ago. big thanks to DOHCstunr for the calipers, MKO for the backing plates and R1Concepts for the rotors and pads. 5 speed is next on the to do list

[warren]

you better cause 5 speed is bad ass only in traffic it sucks

[03-Galant-ES]

Chris your garage is looking like mine. Def do 5spd first cause like me you would be so tempted to put your foot down if you did turbo and 5spd at same time. After you break in the clutch toss on the turbo.

I may have the parts on by end of summer, they cut my hours at work and I havent been able to finish parts on either turbo or 5spd. To finish 5spd parts will cost me like 400-500 more probably and to finish turbo parts will cose me another 600 plus i the $300 boom slang harnes. So about another 1300 and everything should be in :)

[Galanttuner10]

steve i have everything for the 5 speed. flywheel has like 400 miles on it and the clutch disc has 1500 and looks new so i really dont have to break in much at all. im just wating on everything so that i have enough backups shit in case something goes wrong or needs fixing. i have 2 clutches, an ACT 2100 unrevised pressure plate with revised clutch disc and then a daiken pp with a luk clutch and i have the lightweight flywheel and the stock one both in mint shape. just need the time to swap it. i was gonna have Al (bronxbombr) swap it just need money to have him do it

[Shadow19]

Yea that flywheel is pretty much brand spanking new. The F1 clutch held up to some nice power before we blew my gf's car up. Ebay turbo wastegate didnt open so we spiked boost to 30 PSI and BOOM TINK TINK TINK!.. BUT MAN DID IT PULL HARD! I run that same flywheel in the 7g. It takes some getting used to for street driving. Taking off is a little more complicated with the lightweight flywheels than the stockers. However if you delete the balance shafts and use that flywheel your 2.4 will rev wicked fast or atleast mine does ;-). OH.. Ill give you a heads up on your turbo build because i ran into these issue with mine.

1. remove the driver side radiator fan if youre going to put that turbo in the car with the j-pipe on
2. if you buy the ebay tubular o2 housing and 2g down pipe be prepared to have it cut and weld it (i recommend you buy this). It hits the oil pan because of the flange angle on the O2 housing. I had to cut the down pipe about 3'' down from the flange where it connects to the O2 housing and extend it about 2'' or so.
3. Down pipe is also too short
4. If you run the ebay O2 housing use their gasket with some copper sealer. Their flanges arent perfectly flat so youll need the thickness of their gasket to make up for that. OEM is too slim and will leak. Trust me i know. I was able to stick a feeleer gauge between the mating surfaces when i torqued them down.
5. Down pipe needs to be modified to fit the hangers on the 7g. There is 3/8'' rods that come out on the DP on both sides, the passenger side hit on the front sub frame. To fix this i cut a chunk out of the rod and welded it back together for strength.
6. If youre running a GM MAF sensor and not doing the recirculation and dont want to relocate your battery PM me and ill find the link to the K&N air filter that i bought that is a PERFECT fit for the turbo (i have a small 16g 2 1/4 inlet). Its a 5x3'' filter with an offset inlet so it doesnt hit the block or anything like that. I spent hours measuring and all that to see what works and thats the ONLY ONE that i can find.
7. Dont listen to the dsm guys or honda guys about not running coolant lines to that turbo. It was designed to have coolant so run coolant in that bitch. Use the throttle body coolant lines to feed the turbo and just eliminate them on the TB.
8. The 2g DENSO O2 sensor is a PERFECT fit if you elimate the harness extension from the OEM 7g sensor. The reason i say DENSO is because DENSO is OEM sensor. Rock auto has them for 45 bucks.
9. The oil return tube does stretch. You will find that its too short for the motor because the 2.4 has a higher deck height than the 4g63 (hence the reason for the down pipe issue). Bolt it to the oil pan first without a gasket then tighten it to the turbo. Trust me, this works. I couldnt tell you how many places i went to try and find oil proof hose that will fit that pipe if you cut it and i had no luck. Its designed to have that flex part in it so it works.
10. If youre not good at soldering. Learn it now. Its pretty easy once you do it a few times.
11. If you are going to use the stock maf sensor then good luck getting an aftermarket turbo pipe to work.
12. There is a guy on the full throttle site selling a maf translator gen2 for 150 brand new. I would get that to be honest with you so you dont have a headache fitting a turbo pipe and relocating your battery.

Thats about it for now. Trust me YOU WILL RUN INTO PROBLEMS. It took me 4 months for a reason. I worked little by little and i did it the right way. I dont want to go back and do shit again. So do not cheap out on your first round.

[WhiteGalant]

You should buy my manifold and 02 housing :)

i have an evo 3 o2 housing and know that will be a headache and i also have a 2g and 1g shousing if need be. i drove my buddies 30r 1g gsx with the 8lb flywheel and a 6 puck unsprung.. that was a bitch and chattered like hell but im fine with the lightweight it wont be too bad. i will run coolant lines and turbo time it. reason i am putting this all off and saving up is my buddy is bored with the 30r and i may pick it up and make this a beast and finish the other motor as well and get a daily. prolly wont get it but ill be ready to if i can

[Shadow19]

Well good luck. The 5 speed swap is pretty easy. The only thing i had a major issue with was the shift cables. I cut the auto ones in the engine bay with some bolt cutters so that made it it a bit easier but it was still a mother fucker to put the 5 speed ones in.

[Galanttuner10]

well Al has swapped a lot including a local guy for me so i think ill just drop it off and let him have fun as i dont have the time. also, i have seths old downpipe which i believe has hangers ans shit designed for the 7g ill have to check with him on that but it looks like it

[WhiteGalant]

Hafe ss cast manifold and sbr ss o2 housing w/open dump.

nah im sticking with my setup. ported 2g mani evo 3 O2 and if i upgrade i will be going with a 30 or 35r and it will run a TiAL 44mm off the O2 housing,, wastegates on manifolds dont look clean to me.

i will post pics of the 30r setup on the 1g if i ever take some

[Galanttuner10]

well i havent updated in a while. the 5 speed is amazing. the car feels so much better.

i picked up my DOHC head from my buddies last night and i threw on the valve cover for some quick shots before i disassemble it and put new valves and valve seals in it. kind of a teaser and a couple pics of the exhaust setup

[warren]

good work know you need my longblock

[Galanttuner10]

picked up another block that is hot tanked, honed and crasshatched for 100 bucks. how can you beat that!!!

took the rest of the valves out and valve seals. so not bad for about 45 minutes to an hrs worth of work

[warren]

that not bad but whats better is the whole them motor the from a gs

[Galanttuner10]

that not bad but whats better is the whole them motor the from a gs

a basically new block ready to build for 100 bucks is better! because id be doing the same thing to the gs block

[eclipsh]

Coming along nicely. What will you be running for engine management with the turbo setup? I keep thinking if I'd had an OBDII car I would have run a late 2g turbo or Evo ECU for the reflash capabilities and simple wiring.

i have a 2g turbo ecu for the swap and i will use an SAFC until i buy link. gonna go snap a shot of my empty head to show i did it.

the valve springs are easy to do cuz i say screw the big clamp and all that i just use a socket and rubber mallet to take them out.

[Galanttuner10]

here is how it came out. it is ready for the machine shop!!!!

[warren]

for 100 dollars is a good job

[Galanttuner10]

so i think i have figured out the setup for the head at least

lets see here

Graveyard Motorsports 274 cams, yes they have a custom 274 grind
Crower spings and titanium retainers
EPN Stainless valves and bronze valve guides
EPN 3G Lifters
Supertech valve stem seals
Stock 4G64 DOHC Cam gears

All i need off that lists are the springs, valves, and cams. rest is already in my possession

the bottom end is where i cant decide on the setup. i know i want forged rods and pistons and ACL bearings and whatnot, but im really debating about the crank. stock cranks are pretty strong but there is this really nice forged one from manley and the whole rotating assembly with the crank, rods, pistons and rings, acl race bearing and ARP rod bolts is only 1500 and is so tempting.

stock crank with manley rods and pistons with all the other stuff will probably be like 800-1000 depending on the deals etc, so what do you guys think, is a forged crank worth it? i do plan on running at least a 30r setup in the future

[eclipsh]

The stock cranks are bulletproof. Spend the money on getting your AWD setup :D

i figured as much. but i sill say that rotating assembly was tempting. decided stock crank earlier. awd will be happening in the next coming years maybe sooner but i want the new motor done first because then i dont need to worry about the cars dependability as much. who knows what will happen "crosses fingers for winning lotto ticket"

[Galanttuner10]

picked up a backup set of rods and pistons that came in today, so i may boost this motor after all.

[Galanttuner10]

speaking of motors i just wantwd to post a few picks of the new block!!!

[Galanttuner10]

well my stock exhaust broke about a week ago and i had this nice apexi n1 catback sitting in the basement and a buddy who is a master of exhaust work so i went and had it put on friday.

couple cell pics

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo175/Galanttuner10/apexi3.jpg

now i know it is a 3 inch but i dont feel any major difference like losing too much back pressure as i still have both stock cats (cali car) and the sound is a very smooth tone still no ricer honda tone which makes me happy

as far as the rest of the build goes, the DOHC cylinder head is all set for whenever i decide to use it. turbo is freshly rebuilt and balanced. new block cleaned honed etc. major set back has been my dad going through a divorce and switching jobs, went from store manager at advanced to a district manager at autozone so his vacation got all messed up so there seems to be no time for us to get together as he is also 900 miles away. i will get it done and it will be done right. its just taking longer than planned

[galantlvr34]

thats a nice exhaust on there.see if you can get a video of what it sounds like.

[Galanttuner10]

it sounds good. i may have to make a video but not when its like 10 degrees out

and turst me, it sounds very nice, its a 600 dollar exhaust for a reason

[galantlvr34]

yeah i believe you,what is the exhaust off of?and did it need to be modified?

[Galanttuner10]

it is an apexi n1 for a 2g eclipse gst, it did have to be modified but only slightly and looks great

[galantlvr34]

is your car turbo though?

[Galanttuner10]

is your car turbo though?

it was. i have a 14b, 16g and 20g at the moment. i have everything to turbo it, i have so many parts in my basement its sickening. another block, rebuilt cylinder head, injectors, turbos, ECUs, everything is there. just need the time. its not even about buying many parts anymore, its about time and having it reliable still as its my daily.

our cars have the same exhaust path as the 2g FWDs and i got such a great deal on the exhaust back in august and the time came to put it on

[galantlvr34]

yeah i wanted to know if the exhaust would work for cars that didnt have turbo,i was also told there are no exhausts that fit the 7g galant without modifications.

[Galanttuner10]

that is true. i have no turbo on my car at this time. any 2g fwd turbo exhaust will work. my buddy made it fit in the shop with a little over an hrs work.

[Shadow19]

Im not too sure that you have a fwd 2g exhaust. It doesnt look like FWD. I run a 3'' turbo back exhaust from a 2g and mine goes over the rear sub frame. Yours goes under it like the AWD. Still a good job though. Amazing what you can do with a lift.... I had to make mine fit while the car was on jack stands which is a royal bitch!

[99 galant]

looks good

[kolio]

chris it's an AWD setup. like shadow said. if it was FWD it would come over the rear crossmember. but yours goes under

[Galanttuner10]

chris it's an AWD setup. like shadow said. if it was FWD it would come over the rear crossmember. but yours goes under

i know what you guys think it is but that is apexi's design, if it was an awd setup i would have had to do a lot more than add like 6 inches to make it fit
