The car has been through many changes, and I have taken pictures of everything. It is my daily driver and my project, and it is really hard to modify it this way .For some it may be annoying, for some it may be fun. I hope you enjoy it!

This is how my car looked when I first took it home back in 2006/winter/ - just another galant on the street. That didn't work out for me very well; having experience in painting and detailing cars, some basic knowledge of mechanics I can proudly say that my car hasn't been in shop for any repairs. So here we go:

During the summer I installed my first sway bar out of 2g GST /15mm/

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0099.jpg

I did the front and rear end conversion to 97-98 Galant /7Gb/, and got my first Evo spoiler - Evo 7 actually. Started working on the enterior again

I started modding as much as i could:

Did my rear disc swap, dual piston front calipers off 2G GSX, and 5 lug conversion to all four corners.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0333.jpg



The interior was redone completely - red and black leather racing front seats, leather rear seat, upholsered black leather door inserts, 2g Eclipse stitched steering wheel /no more crappy ebay wheel/.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0563.jpg

Exterior was changed a little - got new Evo 9 spoiler, sold the Evo 7 one

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0560.jpg

Suspension - got rid of the pro kit and installed Ground Control coilover sleeves with QA1 springs 650lbs front ans 450lbs rear. Installed front and rear camber kits.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/DSC00069.jpg

Drivetrain - 5 spd swap was scheduled for December 7th 2008, and I have all the parts for it. It will be nothing special: 7g galant manual transmission, Exedy clutch, fidanza flywheel, SS clutch line.

Powertrain - for an exception of the air filter, and header and exhaust, nothing was done, because it was still auto. I needed a few more parts to finish the parts list and go for the installation. It will be pretty basic blow thru setup - GM MAF w/ translator, 16G turbo, Bullseye hot side, Evo 3 O2 housing, 3'' downpipe, 2.5'' intercooler piping, 1g Eclipse BOV, Aeromotive FPR. It will be running 8-10 psi on stock motor.

Dec 7th 2008

Well, I was officially 5 spd swapped. It took 14 hours of non stop work of me and Bronxbomr . I think it went good, although we had a small problem with the master cylinder - it took only 6 hours to figure it out. Car was running, but I was having some issues with adjusting the clutch pedal. I think the master cylinder that i bought off Advanced auto parts wasnt not doing its job; I don't have pics of the work, but ill post some of finished job later

August 2009

I did some work these days. Replaced the factory water temp gauge with Prosport gauge. I needed to trim the rear of the cluster to accommodate the deep gauge /never seen such a deep gauge/. I made the temp sensor adapter which will be fitted in the lower thermostat hose. Welded 1 1/4'' exhaust pipe and M8 x 1.00 nut together. NOw I have give it a coat or two of high temp paint.

what do you used to paint your car? i have tried to paint my hood. never turn out good :(

[SPD_FRK]

Great progress on the car over time man, did a great job on the stuff!

[peanotation]

awesome set of pics, good work dude

[phizzalot]

Fantastic MKO... You have been through so many spoilers :) I like a lot of the custom work you've don and can't wait to see how the gauge and turbo setup comes out.,..

[johnygezony]

You are really digging in !

[mko]

Thanks guys!

On other note, I got these babes and just ordered the rotors from R1 Concept, so sometimes next week Ill have the 4-piston calipers installed. The rotors are 12.4'' /314mm/ in diameter vs. Evo ones that are 12.6'' /320mm/. When finances allow Ill get the 2-piston Evo rear calipers with 10.8'' rotors

[GOOSEY2099]

Good work, lots of pics... Keep it up!

[mko]

So I got the 510cc dialed in with the MAFT and i get something very odd - under acceleration in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear I get knock when the AFRs are in the 12-10.0s. i just dont get it. Right now the fuel pressure is set to 50 psi.

I read an article about injector latencies and I think the ECU keeps the injectors open for too long since its set for 275cc.

Any advice would be appreciated it.

[mysticj]

How much boost you are running? Which DOHC head are you using? Your ecu is eprom, you can have it socket and run an Evo 3 maps.

[mko]

no boost for now. just trying to get the MAFT dialed in with 510cc. I havent swapped the ECU yet, but that will be done very soon. As soon as im done with the GS ECU on SOHC head, Ill swap the 1g head with cyclone intake.

[mko]

Since I bought many gauges /I got a deal/, I needed to come up with a spot to place the important ones like AFR and Boost. So, I came up with this:

[HungarianHunter]

Those look badass! Great idea, very practical :)

[bmore303]

Hmm what's your compensation set to? For 275 to 510 it should be approx 46%

[mko]

Yeah, its was something like that, but i put the stockies back in, cuz I was getting too much knock when throttle is past 50%. Ill wait till I put the turbo in, besides Kolio hooked me up with some 450cc blue tops and Ill start with them.

[bmore303]

Cool beans, well hopefully the situation gets sorted out when the time comes.

[mko]

They have finally arrived. It took two weeks to have them made and shipped to my door. 12.4'' /315mm/ 99 3000gt VR4 rotors

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0694.jpg

[SPD_FRK]

Those are some nice rotors man, just hope you don't mind changing brakes out more frequently. There are two designs for slotted rotors, the diamond cut (like those you have) and round cut like powerstop and many others. The diamond edges cut into the pads a lot more and ultimately reduce the pad life...if its not a daily driver you will be fine, but something you should know for the future at least.

[mko]

Thanks for the info. Yeah, i dont mind changing pads. Right now i have drilled and slotted rotors with my dual pistons and i havent changed the pads in 2 years, and they are not even half way worn out

[phizzalot]

Very nice mko.... Iam sure the added stopping power will be a bonus with your new turbo speed...

[mko]

Thanks bro!

[IVORY_G]

WOW! Didnt see this thread til today. Had no idea the amount of performance mods you've put into this car. From what I saw, looked like you just liked changing the paint on your car quite often! LOL! But seriously, much respect. Car has come aloing nicely. Im liking the 8G spoiler on here too. Creative, the EVO spoiler is a lil too much IMO. Not a fan of the wheels tho, some EVO wheels would look tits on here, or another nice set of 17"s. But at any rate cant wait to see the finished product! GL :)

[mko]

Yeah, I need to save up some cash for the Evo wheels, not that I dont like mine, but just these dont clear the 4-piston calipers, or get wheel spacer/adapter

[DOHCstunr]

i'm really enjoying seeing your g come along. Just a heads up, your gauges look good where they are, but once you start making real power, its hard enough just to look at the tach, let alone a couple small gauges waaaay outside your field of vision.
I'm running 24psi daily, and
its hard as hell to read my wb on the a-pillar lol. When everything on the otherside of your windshield starts to blur... Looking down just doesn't happen for me lol.

ever thought of filling in the auto trans indicators in your cluster?

your car looks shiny man

[IVORY_G]

Yeah, ppl are selling them all the time on Craigslist. Matter of fact, I think Greddy is still selling his EVO IX wheels for $400 shipped in his FS thread...

I have a cluster off manual galant fitted with prosport temp gauge. It will look really nice when its done. Im tired of not knowing what exactly is going on in the engine.

just a head up:

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0724.jpg

[mko]

Well it came to its natural conclusion..... after installing pretty much all supporting mods as coilovers, brakes, sway bars and all other stuff......it was time to do it....finally:

As of now:

450cc blue tops with resistor pack; small 16g with 7cm Bullseye hotside, Evo3 manifold and Evo3 O2 housing; DSM blow off valve; MAFT+SAFC; silicone couplers with t-bolt clamps; MBC with quick bleed valve.

the only person on this for that like SOHC is john and we know how slow his car is :P

[seth98esT]

Peanos car was fairly quick on a SOHC w/13b haha. Also, Angel made 274whp on a SOHC 14b @ 15psi. A SOHC 16g @ 15psi should yield over 300whp.

[DOHCstunr]

Sweet.
I had thought about completely gutting the factory cluster and using all Defi gauges. 5" tach and speedo, 2" fuel and coolant temp. Custom wire the indicator lamps to the factory bezel.

Would look badass, Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I find it so hard to spend money on things like that lol. Especially when I need paint, a built motor, and a lsd

[Galant306m]

Seth has a lsd but he wont take it out.

[seth98esT]

If you had AWD, you wouldnt need an LSD haha.

[Galant306m]

if your car ran you could use the LSD lol, wait my car doesn't run either lol

I got a sweet deal on these gauges. I proly paid less than a half of what they cost. Thats why I try to use them.I still needz EGT gauge tho.


congrats man, NOW DOHC IT SOHC SUX.
the only person on this for that like SOHC is john and we know how slow his car is :P

Need to tuck some wiring and do few more stuff around the engine bay, and it will be on. Still needz to buy head gasket and timing belt, plus the head is almost ready

[mko]

OK, its on. Got the lil stuff all fixed and its working now. I still have to figure shit out with the AFR at idle. I started with less than 1psi and now its running at 4 psi at full boost. Ill play with it some more these days. The AFRs go down to mid 11s at full boost, cruise is at 14.5-15, idle at 17.5. Its fully spooled at 3500 rpms

[Galant306m]

where is your wide band O2 located? If it is to close to the turbo you will get a false reading because of the heat. You want to keep it behind the cat, or test pipe if you don't have a cat, heat is down and it will be a better reading.

[mko]

Oh no. Wideband is always before cat, always. The cat will give you lots of false readings. Usually for DSMs the bung is welded 18'' from the turbo. Right now mine sits 2 inches away from the oil pan drain bolt

[seth98esT]

You dont need it behind the cat. You want it between the cat and downpipe elbow. If you cant hit a full 8psi, then you have a boost or vacuum leak. Run a boost leak test, fix your leaks, see where your AFRs are at then.

[mko]

I havent pushed it Seth, Id rather go 1 psi at the time. Im running 4 psi right now, Ill try it to 5-6 tomorrow. But Ill do boost leak test as soon as I can.

[mko]

Well, car has been running good at 5 psi. Im afraid to go higher with the boost, cuz i dont know whats the condition of the head gasket. Anyway it has to go soon, cuz the DOHC head is almost ready. Cuz im broke right now, I wont be buying new 3mm port lifters, and will be using the old ones. Followed some cleaning techniques on VFAQ and pumped out all the old oil. Right now they are soaking in Seafoam and Acetone mix and tomorrow Ill let them dry and prime them with oil .

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0741.jpg


Next on the list is the FIAV/IAC. Well the FIAV block off plate worked great for the summer and its getting really cold at night, so Im having trouble keeping it idling in the morning. It takes around 5 min to make it idle on its own, so Im not happy with it.

This is another block off plate, but partial one - only for the FIAV. The IAC ports are opened and I will see how it works tomorrow.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0739.jpg

Got new injector clips and Ill be doing that tomorrow as well.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee291/okm12346/HPIM0740.jpg

[seth98esT]

I had the entire IAC blockoff and just raised the base idle in the winter so it would idle real low when it was cold and was at an acceptable RPM when it was warmed up.

[koji464]

MKO great work! how dose the 5psi treat you so far ??

btw this might be a silly Q but by what means are you using for cooling the 16g???

[mko]

It means that Mitsu turbos are oil cooled and water cooled. Since we dont have the additional nipples on the thermostat housing to feed the coolant and the nipple on the water pipe to drain the coolant from the turbo, we use the throttle body water lines for that reason.

[Galanttuner10]

yup.. i wasnt going to run waterlines, then thought of swapping out the water pipes but im now going to use the throttle body lines.

i like how far ur car has come. great work

[mko]

^^Thanks.

I Had the new injector clips installed and tucked the wiring away and It looks really nice/Phizz/ while Skrap sealed the oil pan. Its all good now, just need to install the SAFC and tune the car, cuz Im still having problems with the AFRs at idle /too lean/ and richen up the top end a litttle more.

Next on the list: Get the DOHC ECU in and install coilpacks.

[Galanttuner10]

ok only thing im unfirmiliar with.. the resistor pack.. when i test ran everything it was with stock injectors.. any issues with the wiring or mind for a quick explination of how you did it

[phizzalot]

Very Clean MKO, After looking at your J-pipe again, I notice your missing a fan in the location.
Are you still running AC? or is the fan on the oposite side? Mine looks the same except my pacesetter manifold melted my only fan a little.

[mko]

ok only thing im unfirmiliar with.. the resistor pack.. when i test ran everything it was with stock injectors.. any issues with the wiring or mind for a quick explination of how you did it

The injectors have 2 wires - a power line with constant +12V and a signal wire. For my car the power wires were black, but It may differ thru the years. So, you mark 2 inches after the clip and cut the power wires for all injectors. Then all the wires at the harness side have to be spliced all together and then connected to the thickest wire of the resistor pack. The resistor pack has 4 more wires coming out, these wires need to be spliced with the 2 inch short injector wires


Very Clean MKO, After looking at your J-pipe again, I notice your missing a fan in the location.
Are you still running AC? or is the fan on the oposite side? Mine looks the same except my pacesetter manifold melted my only fan a little.

Well, my j-pipe was designed for SMIC and the way it came down, it was pointing towards the transmission. So, I cut if off and put that coupler with 2.5'' aluminum pipe that I had laying around, but that pipe didnt clear the fan so it had to go. The AC doesnt work, but that fan turns on with the main fan and I can notice it takes a little longer for a single fan to cool down the engine temps. When I get a new J-pipe designed to FMIC Ill install it back and do the fan control bypass.

[phizzalot]

cool, My ac compressor is dead so that's why I didn't worry about the fan either... What type of j-pipe will you be looking for to fit the fmic? I need one too..

[SPD_FRK]

Great work on this man. Really like what you have done and what is coming.

[mko]

^^Thanks!

Ebay will do it. Dont feel like spending too much money on that

[DOHCstunr]

funny thing is the a/c fan is actually the fan on the drivers side.
I melted mine into a solid piece of plastic a while back when a manifold failed on me.
I never installed a new drivers side one cause I loooooove the extra space i have for wrenching now lol.

[Ivory8g]

True words of a mechanic right there!^
Good work mko!

[mko]

Im getting frustrated. I found a welder to do the roof, but its 220V and where my car is parked there is only standard outlets.

[RedLine DOHC]

the exhaust cam roles like 10 degrees off, if i remember right because of the valve spring on I think the #3 cylinder...

[DOHCstunr]

once you set the timing, the marks will line up fine. The fact that they don't line up is a good thing. Makes it easier to set the timing. That's why yiu put the belt on a 1/2 tooth off. Once its tensioned the belt draws the marks together.

[mko]

You mean half a tooth the way it is now, or I have to turn the exhaust cam half a tooth past the intake mark to the right

[Galant306m]

i recommend once you get the head on and the timing set, rotate the engine a couple time and check the torque on the cam cap bolts. you will be suppressed when you do.

[mko]

Yeah, i was gonna do that since im reusing the old bolts. If they were new the torque spec is 14-16 lbs

[Galant306m]

yea even if they where know i would still recommend it just because of the spring tension on the cams, i checked mine and a couple where loose had to re torque them.

[mko]

If you start from the caps in the middle and work your way out, by the time you get the most outer ones, the middle ones will become loose. I went over all of them like 3 times, they should be good

Now do a 15psi pull please.

[phizzalot]

nice pull :) wsuip with ur inter cooler did you paint it black? side mount?

[mko]

yeah its flat black and its a fmic

[Ivory8g]

Flat black fmic ftw son!

[mko]

IDK what is wrong with this car. Now I cant boost much. It goes to 2 psi max. I even bypassed the MBC and ran the line from the j-pipe to wastegate and still the same. My girlfriend filled me up with 87 while I was paying inside the gas station, I hope this is why i cant boost.

I still have the hiccup and it gets no better. Ive tried everything possible. My AFRs are normal, but my spark plugs are white. It acts like a post MAS leak, but Ive checked it all.

Im about to put my stock MAS and just run the SAFC.

Im open to any suggestions

[RedLine DOHC]

Well, Its fixed now. I had a a leak from the j-pipe gasket. And since i dont have MBC anymore boost goes to 8 psi and I likes it alot.

[Galanttuner10]

glad you got it fixed man. enjoy the boost haha. im doing mine soon

[Ivory8g]

glad to hear its fixed!

[97dsmturbogalant]

Glad to hear you got the bugs out. Now lets see a vid. I might be buying one of the two gs's down here, and swap all the parts onto it and sell by s. If I do end up getting the gs, I'll sell you all the gs swap parts that I have for cheap. It might not be untill jan though when i get taxes. Hope you can wait that long.

[mko]

Oh I fixed the boost leak, but it still does the hiccup thing. It annoys the crap out of me

[Galant306m]

What do you mean by "hiccup"? If I where you I would run a coil ignition setup from a spyder 4g64 you keep the dist there for the cas and then wire the coils up, betting you are not getting a strong enough spark from the dist

[mko]

Very soon. Im waiting on Kolio to get back to me about a GS harness, and as soon as i get it, it will be done

[mko]

So, I did a few things today. I was trying to eliminate things one by one on top of what Ive done so far.

Switched back to my OEM fuel filter /brand new/ and filter to rail line, installed different TB and just in case I switched to 510cc. Well, the thrill of 510cc acceleration felt nice, but my hiccup problem still persist, and its driving me crazy.

Things Im doubting that might be the problem:

Aeromotive FPR, distributor and HG.

[letsrunem]

post a vid if you can of said "hiccup"

[mko]

at 0:14 - 0:15

[mko]

so, I put new coolant temp sensor and switched back to my stock fpr, and guess what, its still doing the hiccup. So most likely i have an ignition problem. The distributor is probably going.

[RedLine DOHC]

its almost like the alternator cycling mine does the same thing when that happens or when the a/c kicks on in the summer

[Galanttuner10]

i just listened to your vid a little closer and my old 95 did that before the distributor went. mostly did it when it was cold

[Galant306m]

plug a scanner into it and see what she is reading for timing while idling should be about 11 or 12 degrees and watch it if its hopping around then your dist or CAS is going out.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Does it do it every now and then when your driving or just when it's idling? My s had a hiccup when it was driving and idling. Changed the distrib with one out of the j/y and problem solved.

[mko]

Alty is new. That was the first thing that went on me when I bought the car, dizzy was second

Mitch, Im 94 I has no scanner for it. The only thing Ive seen work is Snap on scanner, but I dont have it

It does it all the time and even more these days. Driving, Idling....you name it.

[seth98esT]

And it only does it out of boost? WOT is the only time it doesnt do it?

[skrap]

Yea i was driving in the car today. It only does it when he is cruising at like 10% throttle or a idle.. I have never felt any thing like it im really not sure what it is... Im betting the distributer though...

[mko]

I hope its the dizzy, that is what is left. maybe a clogged cat or dieing battery.

Id have never thought of the dizzy when it started doing it, after all its just 2 years old, but you never know with the parts these days

[seth98esT]

I forget, did you change out the coolant sensor? If it only happens in closed loop, seems like the o2 sensor, tps, or ECU. You said you already replaced the o2 sensor, I think the tps too? The coolant sensor would be something I'd try replacing too.

I dont see it being the dizzy though, I would think the problem would exist no matter the throttle and it would be worse under boost.

[mko]

Yes, o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, I went thru 3 TPS's

Ill try the ECU at least thats easy and the MPI relay

[mko]

Changed the ECU today.....same shit, no difference. Skrap went to switch his "brand new" distributor that didnt work with another one, so we tried it on my car and we found out the "new" one we got has misaligned rotor

[Galant306m]

i have a dist ill send you! ill ship it out of friday pm me or send me your adress on aim and ill ship it to you for nothing since you gave me that slave.

block off plate for what?

i have the first ecu, but not installed yet. the second one is just ridiculous

[RedLine DOHC]

iac block off... expencive but I want one.lol

[mko]

its like 10 bucks

[mko]

SO SO SO, I got it fixed. OMG what a relief.

well the MAFT needs a RPM signal so u can tune with the knobs for low, mid and wot, but I dont use it since I have the SAFC do the fine tuning

Anyway, I had the wire tapped in the distributor for RPM signal, and soldered there. i was playing with it today and wiggled the 2-pin plug and it kind of did the hiccup, so I was like hmm and pulled that wire off and tada. so the MAFT was stealin the signal form the ECU to the distributor - making it weak enough to trip the power transistor shut meaning that the level of the incoming signal was so low that the power transistor wasnt able to open at times....doing the hiccup. Thats why it was quiet, and not like a misfire sound /pop/

[mko]

Back on track!

I snagged a few thing for the DOHC swap from the j/y today. I have to make them look good now.

I need to know where i can buy a weldable 6AN fitting for the water return line

Im getting the 94 GS harness tomorrow and the DOHC timing belt covers sometime this month I think

[Ivory8g]

Noice!

Keep it up mang... Looking forward to see your progress...

[eclipsh]

Nice work so far. I like the 8g spoiler on the 7g. Any chance you can post up some detail shots of how you modded your front bumper cover for the IC? I'm struggling with finding a nice clean way to get good airflow to mine. I'm thinking I'll get the 7gB front cover and trim it but don't know how to roll the edges around on the plastic so it looks stock (I know heat doesn't work.)

[mko]

All i have pix of is my old bumper.

How it started:

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/meet10-19-2008010copya.jpg

It worked for the IC, but I wanted my car to be a bit more stealthy, so i got new bumber and started all over with smaller IC. Trimmed the middle duct so it doesnt rub against the IC, then I cut the upper end of the duct as straight as possible. Then where I had a straight cut line, measured 1 inch above and cut another straight line and removed that piece. The first piece I cut that had part of the duct, i screwed it down with small screws and pieces of strapping line the way i wanted it, and on the back of it I use 3 plies of fiberglass cloth and resin . Edges were rounded with fiberglass cloth and resin and then fiberglass bondo to smooth everything out.

[eclipsh]

Thanks, those pictures help out a lot. I'll see what I can come up with once I get a good (cheap) front cover.

[mko]

The 94 GS harness is here. Thanks Chris/Kolio/

so glad I dont have to do that.... I hate wiring

[DOHCstunr]

are you modifying the GS harness?

[mko]

not for now. when do the 1g CAS then ill rewire it

[DOHCstunr]

oh ok. i saw all the labeling, and wasn't sure if you were hacking it up lol. I was like... whats the point if you are going to butcher it!.
Magnus makes that p&p 1g in 2g cas harness. Which is nice. Wiring it up is a lot cheaper though and easy to make look factory. But P&P is painless.
IDK if you've been to their site lately.. but dude they make some pretty breathtaking shit anymore.
have you seen the rear subframes they make? Talk about holy shit.

[mko]

Yeah, they got some crazy shit going for DSMs and Evos.

Ive seen the harness before and I may buy it later on, like you said its painless.

Im throwing the harness on the SOHC motor and making it run with the signals from the distributor. I have all parts for the DOHC conversion besides the valve cover gasket and the spark plug tube seals. I cant believe that kit is $56 bucks. I have all new timing components, new water pump, HG and all that. Oh im missing the middle and lower timing covers, but they are coming in by the end of the month

extreme psi has the valve cover and plug seals for 48 i think and the dealer is a little more like 65 near me at least. which head gasket are you going with OEM or aftermarket as i dont see much in the world of aftermarket for the 64 specificly but have heard of ppl using 63 dohc gaskets with the 87mm bore.

I was thinking of doing it earlier, but i though it would be unfair , so......

I have a gasket for 4g64 DOHC it was like 40 bucks at JNZ. Ive heard of the 63 gasket and i believe it will work as long as it clears the bore.

ooo i drew first blood! haha anyone can make their own build thread so i didnt think it was :) im just playin though

so with the new harness you just running an extension so you don't have to get back on the floor and solder you fuel controller back in.

Its finally out of the driveway. Im gonna save up for a LSD, cuz its killing me . Or maybe do an ....A/cough/......AW/cough/..........AWD swap

[Galanttuner10]

i wish i was awd for this weather.. how did the roads turn out over there??? still have a lot of snow here in CT all over the place

[eclipsh]

Yeah, the AWD is a blast in the snow. The mechanical bits really aren't all that bad to work out. You'll need a transmission with t-case, factory drive shaft to rework, rear end, gas tank and custom exhaust. I'd guess around $1k for good parts. You can always hit me up with any questions you have.

[phizzalot]

^^^ what he said :) Go for it MKO FWD can be a fierce opponent but it is unmatched to the drive ablity and performance you can get from AWD IMO

[DOHCstunr]

I would love to go awd. After seeing esclipsh do it, it makes it seem sooo much less complicated than I thought it would be. It honestly just comes down to me finding a source for all the parts, and having the cash to jump on it when the opportunity arises. It really wouldn't cost much more than building a fwd tranny with an LSD. And then you can factor in all the FWD specfic parts that you can sell to recoupe the loss; such as fwd flywheel, tranny, fwd turbo downpipe, fwd exhaust, fuel pump, rear sway bar. maybe some other things idk.
Lol maybe next summer i'll do it.

[Galanttuner10]

i can get the rear end driveshaft gas tank.. everything but the tranny and tcase for 300 from my boy with a talon then tranny tcase and new clutch for like 700-1000.

Chris and John i would love to see you go AWD and i really want to as well, but time and money arent on my side

[mko]

Id really prefer to find a donor car since i believe the tranny and t-case must be matched thru the years. what i mean is that the trannies and t-cases are different for 95-96 and 97-99 and i think these cant be mismatched

ok just weird lol. who rebuilt it for you?

I did. theres a very nice pictorial on DSM tuners

Some say it needs to be balanced when rebuild, but It really needs to be balanced only if old spinning parts are reused. I did my 16g and now this one. they use the same parts except the cold side impeller.

Now I have everything for the swap. Cant wait!!


On a side note:

I came across something that might help you 96-98 guys who want to do the DOHC swap with 1g head. Its a cool thing I got off 97 Sonata with 4g63.

As you know you the 1g intake manifold doesnt have the MAP sensor since its not OBD2 compliant and many of you have avoided it for that reason only. Theres an adapter sold, but first its expensive and second it doesnt look too good. Well heres the solution:

As I said it came off 97 Sonata and its a part made by Mitsubishi:

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/HPIM0833.jpg

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/HPIM0836.jpg

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/1g2gheadswap1lg.jpg

Excuse my drawing on that photo. it was for a some knuckle head on another forum who was trying to tell me that 2g have MAFs not MAPs.

So installation is simple as this: the plug is P'n'P and all you need to do is to source a vacuum to the hose.Done!!

I got this MAP of the j/y for $1.50. I told them it was a solenoid.

[RedLine DOHC]

^ so would that do away with the karmon vortex?

[phizzalot]

So there's a hole and screws mount to install that map on a 1g intake? What is installed there originally and why couldn't you reuse a map from the galant?

[mko]

nope, sorry theres no such a hole for a MAP on 1g intake mani and since theres no hole you have to buy the adapter which is twenty some dollars or use the sonata MAP sensor

[mko]

Just bought this:

I was debating between the muffler and 12'' dual slim fans. Now I cant wait to install it.

[DOHCstunr]

there's no MAP sensor on the 1g or 2g or 3g or 4g

its called a MDP
manifold differential pressure sensor.

all it does it verify EGR function. by looking for a Difference in Manifold Pressure when the egr is open or closed.

my ARP head studs are part#207-4203 and my main studs are your part number i see there on the box.

nope. they are 10mm main studs. Its all ok i got them really cheap, and Ill find a use for the some day

[Galanttuner10]

damn.. when you build a new motor it will come in handy. i got my ARPs on ebay from titan motor sports( the supra shop) for like 88 bucks if you havent found them cheaper

[mko]

yeap, just got them for 89 shipped

Now I need ARP rod bolts

[Galanttuner10]

yeap, just got them for 89 shipped

if you buy eagle or manleys and a couple others they come with ARP rod bolts. what are the future plans here?

[mko]

if you buy eagle or manleys and a couple others they come with ARP rod bolts. what are the future plans here?

Well the plan is:

8g crank knife edged and micro polished
Eagle Rods
Manley or Wiseco pistons /still debating on the CR 8.5 or 9 to 1/
ACL bearings
ARP hardware kit
OEM Gasket


The cheap version of it:

my 7g crank
Evo8-9 Rods
Manley or Wiseco pistons
ACL bearings
ARP hardware kit
OEM Gasket

In addition I have a LSD transmission, still have to do the balance shaft deletion and buy a 6 bolt crank pulley. i read they are 2-3 pound lighter



on a side note, Ive decided not to take advantage of the features the Cyclone manifold offers. As Im writing im taking it apart for a porting job and removing the butterflies. It will be used as 1g manifold. Need to figure out how to make the EGR functional

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/HPIM0865.jpg

[eclipsh]

Are you running a 1g head? If so those butterflies will really help with spool and low end. Not that a 2.4 really needs much help on spool-up.

What are your reasons for not running it with the valves?

[mko]

Yeap, thats the reason. 2.4 gives you the 400-500 lower spool up, so if a 2.0L with 1g head and 1g intake mani can run fine then theres no reason a 2.4 with 1g head and open Cyclone shouldnt be fine.

Bought a Big 16g off Galant vr4.org and its coming this week

Peano /Matt/ is sending me a proportioning valve for the brakes

[Shadow19]

youre the kind of guy thats turns shit into gold.. So i dont even want to know what youre doing with those fogs. Youre a very creative person and i really like your ideas and how you do stuff. Keep up the good work!

[IVORY_G]

I think you should paint your muffler flat black, would look really good.

[mko]

well, this is how it goes. 6 months ago I put in a brand new turbo w/o the coolant lines, this is the how it looked today.

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/DSC00299.jpg

IDK if its visible, but there's oil everywhere on the compressor side. IDK what the f*** happened, but it aint good. Of course because it had a bullseye housing which are famous for snapping turbo bolts, all my bolts were trash, only one snapped. And I didnt think of that before and didnt have extra bolts, so quick trip to the hardware store and 30 bucks down the drain until the new bolts arrive.

Me and Skrap hae been busting our asses all day to put it together and weld the new DP and stuff. The new setup is B16g with MHI 7cm housing, and full 3'' turbo-back exhaust, still running stock boost tho.

First impressions were very positive. The B16g moves way more air than the S16g, and I did a couple of short pulls and it feels awesome. I'm having a small oil leak from one of the copper washers of the oil supply line fitting that i have to take care of.

Dont have pics of the new setup today, but Ill take some tomarrow when I wake up

[kolio]

just promise me you were not in a parking lot :lol:

[SPD_FRK]

Looks good man.

Having all that oil in the comp housing is usually an indicator that an o-ring, or bearing (if there is any shaft play), let loose. You might be able to get a rebuild kit for the turbo and turn around and sell it on Ebay.

[mko]

^ thanks man!

[kondypl]

[blue8g]

^kinda looks like an 8g spoiler

[skrap]

Its an OEM 8G spoiler...

[mko]

DUDE!!!! how many IM's do you need?? You just worked on one the other day.. We have Like 6 in my garage!!!??? lol

its the same manifold bro, just painted now.

[skrap]

Oh ok.. LOL

[DOHCstunr]

Dude I used to have a BEP housing on my old 14b. Nightmare. I used brand new oem bolts with new oem spring washers, AND chased the threads of the housing with a tap everytime I took the bolts out. and it wasn't long before all four snapped. This is with 2000* anti-sieze as well.

I installed the fancy shmancy ARP turbo bolts and washers.... and literally all 4 snapped in a week. Torqued to spec and everything.

So i pawned my turbine housing off on some poor soul a loooooong time ago. The new turbine housings are made of cast stainless steel, but idk if that makes any kind of a difference.

[mko]

I never got around chasing the threads. This was the first time I took that turbo housing off since i put it in back in August and bolts were still f-ed up. Oh well. I like the MHI 7cm housing much better now. Boost comes soooo much earlier plus the B16g is awesome

[mko]

DUDE!!!! how many IM's do you need?? You just worked on one the other day.. We have Like 6 in my garage!!!??? lol


Oh ok.. LOL

What are you complaining of.......more FREE parts for you. How many things Ive been giving you?

Oh trust me Im not complaining at all!! You know I appriciate all the shit youve given be.. I was just busting on you cus I though you bought another one... lol

How much slimmer is that fan than the stock ac fan? I need one when i fix my ac but i just want to know the clearance.

[mko]

Here you go bro. theres about 1.5'' difference between the fans

Finally found a black hvac trim and got rid of the woodgrain one.

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/HPIM0902.jpg

In the right corner you see my 22mm rear sway bar. My car is gonna have the thickest rear sway bar of all 7 gen, shit even all FWD DSMs.

[phizzalot]

Very nice... Where did u get the ac knobs?

[eclipsh]

Does that battery bracket actually hold the battery down at all or just restrict side to side movement? Either way you know you should do something nicer. You've put a lot of work into the rest of the car, don't do a hack job on that. I don't know if you've seen my battery relocation in the trunk but there are plenty of nice ways to do it up right. The black trim and the coolant bottle are nice though :)

[mko]

Moar parts in the mail today:

[mysticj]

pretty!

[koji464]

What is that thing? An all black SR...? "looks like it would work"

[mko]

what is a SR?

[Galanttuner10]

what is a SR?

the only SR i know of is an SR20 from the JDM silvias, but its your DOHC swap.im having my head cleaned and planed ATM not sure when im gonna get to that but cant wait

and yours looks great man keep it up.

[mko]

So these are my new side skirts, They came off 00' Infinity g20 and I got them for $21.40. These are just perfect fit, even length wise. So for now, no JDM shits for me.

The other option I have tested and still good fit with little modifications are the Volvo 850 side skirts.

[Ivory8g]

Props on being different!

[mko]

Thanks!

And this is the third option. Its a perfect fit as well

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/rp/images/03lancer_oz1.jpg

[skrap]

I want them DUDE they look really nice!!

[eclipsh]

Nice info on the side skirts. There is a trashed Lancer in my favorite salvage yard. I'll have to see if it has skirts and how much they want for them.

[Galant306m]

if you take the stock tstat housing and shave it down some you can use the part where the upper radiator hose goes into and then you will not have to have two radiator caps on your car, thats what we did just put a set screw in where that bolt is with some rtv.

[mko]

Mitch, that wouldnt have been the case cuz i had 1g Fluidyne aluminum radiator that i just sold. I was looking to buy a stock 7g radiator off ebay, but i just found a brand new radiator on one of the 1g's in the junk yard, I think im gonna go with it

[Galant306m]

they dont fit. I have one and the little mounting posts on the bottom are closer together then on the 7g which is why i just got a 7g on.

[mko]

I think it fits on 94, it fitted on Skrap's galant, no problem.

Maybe you should try 2g radiator. the lower mounting pins are located differently for 1g and 2g.

[Galant306m]

i just got a stock 7g one brand new from a parts store then i trimmed that piece where the upper radiator hose goes into and put a set screw in the burp hole.

[mko]

Heres another option for the 7g radiator. You can get a t-stat top off 4g63 hyundai. They have some kind of sensor there that can be removed and plugged with brass screw in cap

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/DSC00324.jpg

[mko]

I got some custom decals made, but decided to install it after some 50 oz of coffee /not good idea/, now i have to order it again

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/mko1234/HPIM0919.jpg

[eclipsh]

2g radiators don't fit. The mounting tabs on the bottom are in the wrong spots. Galant radiators are wider by a couple inches.

[skrap]

We know... Me and him are trying to figure out a way to fab it to work....

[eclipsh]

http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll270/eclipsh/Car010.jpg

If you look closely you can see I used the T-stat housing off the 2.4 engine and used the Galant radiator. It was very tight where the CAS is. I had to do some grinding on the housing to get it to fit. I also needed to run a coolant line to the turbo though so that meant some funky stuff going on on the back side where the bolt goes in. The sensor screwed into the top is for triggering my fans (the 1g ECU I'm on can't run them).
