At this point, the car was 100% bone stock. My dad helped me buy it as I was going off to college the following year, out of state, so I'd need a car to get around.
Purchased for about $7500; 29,000 miles, one owner, some minor front-end damage that had been repaired.

Awesome Arkansas lawn... ugh. Added tint at that point, car fully detailed, looking shiny. Also, a Magnaflow oval muffler and 2.5" piping. Sounded GOOD. Had that exhaust up until the first stages of my turbo project.

Installed it all myself in the garage @ my apartment. Got the tuner version of the Stage 1 SDS and tuned using the E-Manage Ultimate and AEM UEGO wideband. For a short time, I was running the stock manifolds and cats with the wideband located after one of the cats (throws off the AFR reading 0.1-0.2 points or so from what I found).
The header install was going to be a pain, and I was looking around at the time for a shop to do the welding for me, but ended up saying screw it and my dad and I tackled it when I visited Arkansas that summer.
It made 231 WHP uncorrected on a Mustang Dyno at 4500 feet. Around the same torque. I'll find the dyno sheet later.
Here is a video of me running at RMR, still slow because of the automatic, but about 2 seconds faster than stock (stock V6 auto Galants run 18's up here).

Dead Transmission
After all of that, I ended up frying the stock automatic transmission. No photos of that, because I was still too green at the time to complete a transmission swap. I let the dealer do that for me. Replaced the stock torque converter with a Rezlo Pro High Stall. Turns out the dealership completely screwed the install, will get to that later.

Stage 3 - Piston Swapped Engine + 14 PSI SDS and the death of the car - Winter 2006
Not a single photo of my piston swap, but I swapped in a set of drop-in CP 2618 alloy forged pistons after blowing the stock ones at 14 PSI (RIPP SDS Stage 2). Didn't know crap about engines at the time, but got the set of pistons for Christmas from my parents and went at doing my first engine rebuild.
That setup ran great for almost a year, but I ran into a bump during that time...

One thing you have to respect is raw power. This happened after it had snowed and I hit some snowplow runoff going 100+, caught the spin after pulling a 360 at 80+ mph, and clipped the ass end of my car on the way out. If I didn't know how to drive at that point, I would have been dead. Limped the car home and then took the photos above.
I was devastated, but glad to have been alive. This was literally right after boostzealot's 6G74 swap we did in that very spot... very, very bittersweet.

Stage 4 - The Rebuilding and Making 350+ WHP - Spring thru Summer 2007
I spent two weeks deciding on the color I wanted to paint the Galant... finally settled on Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic from the C6 Corvette. I saw the color on a Corvette during those 2 weeks and absolutely fell in love.
Took some time to get the car repaired. I ended up arranging to get the complete rear suspension and ass end of a black 8G Galant to rebuild mine. We took the rear clip, trimmed off the entire damaged area of my Galant, tweaked things a bit, and then welded on the donor car. Turned out perfect, they did a great job.
A quote from another body shop was around $12,000 to get it fixed. I spent half that, with a new paint job.
Picked up some new Enkei ZR-1's and tires at the same time due to the damage to my old wheels.

The Big Comeback
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/t158/vancottt/car/S8002157.jpg
So after all this, I got all of the components I needed to start running 21+ PSI. Installed the smaller shaft pulley from RIPP along with their overdrive crankshaft pulley.
Ended up dyno-ing 363 WHP corrected on a Mustang Dyno at 4500 feet. Still with the automatic.
The SDS shaft ended up fracturing at the foot of the supercharger and I had to send it all back to RIPP for repair. Though it was clearly their crappy workmanship at fault (bad welds), they charged me over $800 for the whole ordeal. Fuck RIPP.
After that, was the trip to MOD, where I would find out that the dealership absolutely failed at installing my torque converter (no Loctite on the flex plate fasteners).

God the car was so fast at sea level. At least making 380-390 WHP at 25 PSI if not more.

Stage 5 - Dead Automatics, Manual Swap, Death of My First Built Engine - Fall 2007
Well 500 BHP takes its toll on an automatic. I ended up fracturing the stock flex-plate, mainly due to a torque converter bolt that backed out (thanks stealership). The dealership should have paid for it all due to their ineptitude, but of course the weren't going to due to the high level of modification.
Dunno if I have any photos of the flex-plate, but it was pretty sorry. Boostzealot and I ended up replacing it, and my torn-up bellhousing up at Hill AFB and then the whole thing ended up failing because somebody *cough* forgot the outer bearing race on the bellhousing side. :)
Good thing, though, because I got to do this:

I received the trans for free from a local Club3G guy who had sold his Eclipse and got a GTO (thanks again, Charlie). His diff had blown, but I replaced it with a Kaaz unit from RIPP. SPEC Stage 3 clutch, Fidanza lightweight flywheel, the works. This was a very good setup and lasted me a year of abuse.
Took all of this, got it dyno'd and hit up the track.

374 WHP / ~300 lb-ft torque @ 21 PSI
http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/t158/vancottt/car/?action=view¤t=RaceDay.flv
Then the fateful day... ended up at the track with a smashed plug, but 100% OK compression (engine was trying to tell me something! And I didn't heed the warning). Turns out the E-Manage Ultimate was picking up some noise through its inputs and MASSIVELY cutting fuel at certain times. It took me a YEAR to figure this out, and countless dollars spent on replacement pistons and ignition components.
Anyway, at the track... one pass, I let boostzealot drive and the vacuum line blew off my E-Manage pressure sensor, cutting all boost-added fuel and completely toasting the engine as he didn't let off when it started to bog. :( Sad day.

Stage 6 - Built Lower End - Fall 2007
I'm going to mainly let the pictures do the talking here. This was my first major engine rebuild, and like every single one, was flawless minus the crazy glitches in my tuning setup. :( All removal, engine assembly, and installation done by myself with grunt work help from boostzealot (thanks again, bro :) ).
The first few shots are of the donor engine given to me by boostzealot. Was his original 6G72. You can see the rod he bent hydrolocking the SOB, too!

Ended up doing that ^^ to the oil pump o-ring and had to pull it and replace the o-rings while the engine was already in the bay. Never a fun job.
The results, being N/A, weren't bad. Here are my dyno sheet and quarter mile run.

Stage 8 - Low Boost Turbo Build - Summer 2008
So during this trial and error period with the engine, I had been accumulating some turbo parts. The turbo was a genuine Garrett T3/60-1 0.63 A/R hotside.

More Bad News - First Bearing Spin
Got everything installed and tuned at 8-10 PSI. Car was running great, minus an ignition misfire which I later solved. BUT, I ended up spinning a rod bearing due to a combination of poor rod resizing, main alignment/roundness, and fuel dilution. That resulted in a necessary full lower-end rebuild with all new pistons, balls-to-the-wall at that point. Head studs, main studs, totally built lower end. Also ruined my turbo, and I was forced to get a new T3/60-1, this time with a 0.82 A/R hotside. You can see below where I pulled apart the old turbo to find it pretty much unsalvageable.

Stage 9 - No Stopping Me Now, High Boost Turbo Build - Fall thru Winter 2008
2nd Spun Bearing
And it happened again. Spun bearing. This time due to main alignment and poor rod big end alignment. I wasn't giving up. Rebuilt her again with a brand new crankshaft; and this time I ported and polished the heads in preparation for huge power. AND switched to a GT35R with an inlet oil filter in case I would spin another bearing.
Each time, I'm going further and further in to improve upon this inherently poor engine design. I'll let the photos do the talking.

Stage 9 - Continued... Success Comes.
And again, spun another bearing. I made the decision this time to go with a new machine shop suggested to me by a very knowledgeable local 3SI member. Casey's Machine in WVC, UT. I didn't say much about this rebuild... same old failure again. Main bearings experienced excessive wear and sent bearing shavings up to 2 of the rod bearings, causing them to fail. I picked up a new junkyard engine to use as my new core. Transferred the pistons, rods, and turbo kit; and had the brand new cranked turned 0.010 under on the main journals and 0.020 under on the pins. Perfect crankshaft job, thanks to Casey and Dan! They know their stuff and actually give a damn.
The Arrival of the New Engine

And somehow between then and a few weeks later, I rebuilt it all without taking any photos this time. Spent 4 days pulling, rebuilding, and reinstalling along with making some major improvements. My dad came out from Arkansas to help out.
After getting everything back together, I ended up making the following numbers on the crappy exhaust at 15 PSI:

Then I re-did the exhaust...

Later, I re-did it again and added a resonator.
The exhaust made some nice gains (NOTHING else changed, boost PSI was equalized to what it was before after the exhaust was installed):
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/t158/vancottt/car/15PSI-newexhaust.jpg
And there was my record for 6G72 SOHC 24 V power. The most I'd OFFICIALLY seen before that was 383 WHP.

Then broke my record again with 531 WHP / 551 lb-ft torque. The weird dip at the end is from the ignition cut rev-limiter.

This thread was a showcase to what my car has been through, and how dedicated I am to my automotive projects. I have a lot of people to thank for your encouragement and help throughout the life of my car. BJ, Mike Romney, Corinna, Denver, Joe, Kenny, Kyle, Adrian, Jason, Matt, Mike from work, and anybody else I'm forgetting... thank you very much for encouraging me to keep on building up this car! It's cost me hundreds upon hundreds of hours of my life, and tens of thousands of dollars, but it was all worth it. I have a car now that I am truly proud of. Thanks again guys... and thanks to many of the online car communities that have helped me build this beast. Thanks to the local shops who show massive respect for my car and allow me to use their facilities and equipment at discounted rates. Couldn't have done it without those guys, either.
This is just the beginning, you can trust me on that... you can keep up-to-date on my Galant here: http://mitsubishipowered.com/projects/turbo-v6-galant-gt35r-fully-built-t24.html

Spun bearings will always plague high-HP 6G72's... you have to be really careful never to run too rich of a tune as the fuel spray onto the rod big end causes oil starvation. Screwed me at least once. There simply isn't enough big end or main bearing area to support a large amount of HP on the 6G72. The 6G74 is the clear choice for massive amounts of power.
Looking for the datalogs now, but I finally discovered the major issue with my piston failures was fuel starvation due to massive noise being induced into the E-Manage. Caught it on the datalog and actually fixed it by going to Magnecor wires and adding a Sun Auto grounding kit. The noise was causing the E-Manage to cut injector duty cycle to about 30% of what it should be.
There are a huge number of little tweaks in place just to make this car run... I really would like to move to an AEM EMS if I could somehow keep the car registered for recreational use.

Well at least you figured out what was causing the bearing issue...usually when I read of spun bearings I just think back to assembley/clearance issues but apparently not the case with this.
What are the state's requirements for rec vehicle registration anyways?

Well the first few times were partially due to poorly resized rods (machine shop not cleaning rod mating surfaces before resizing) and terrible main alignment and out-of-round. I've got a nice digital bore gauge I check everything with now.
Actually last I replaced rod bearings (it's routine) 2 were about to spin. The oiling system on the 6G72 SUCKS.
Well for my car it essentially has to be OBD-II legal unless I get it approved as a custom built or rebuilt vehicle. If I tube-frame part of the chassis, it would actually be fairly easy for me to accomplish that.

Thank you x3
And future plans are going to include tube-framing the front end for drag/road racing, stripping and caging the whole interior, triangulating on the strut towers. I need a tubing bender and TIG welder before I take on that. Should be fun.
Oh, and 800 WHP for the dyno, but dialing down to whatever I find most effective for the track. I'll have a 2-stage boost controller for the strip so I can actually get out of 1st and 2nd. Probably 8 PSI, 16 PSI, then balls to the wall for the full 800. I'm going to work on the car's drag capabilities first and click off a mid-10 before moving onto making it a serious road racing car. The Evo will be my little time attack monster this year.

^^ thanks there Jigz *edit* and Kenny
I'm going to be getting temp tags for the car on June 15 so I have the option of driving to MOD on July 11. Until then, I'm just going to do a minor rebuild on the engine and go from there. I want to run twice at the strip to click off a low 11 and then she'll be going into hibernation for the 2010 or 2011 time attack build.
