94 s converted to gs

[97dsmturbogalant]

Most of you know me on the other forums as 97dsmturbogalant, but thought id'e change it since the 97 is long gone. I own a 1994 galant s. Iv'e done allot to this car so far but the work is not done yet. Current mods include, Evo 8 wing, 14b turbo, Converted the car to power everything, 3" turbo back exaust with a rossi metal spun cat, Glow intrument cluster guages, Dual illuminite mids all around, ect. I could go on about the mods and parts but wanted to get on with the dohc swap. I stripped a 1994 galant gs from the j/y for $80. Got everything from the rear disks, Rear sway bar, The WHOLE harness from the car, The head with the intake manofold, sensors, relays, etc., Fog lights, intrument cluster, and so on. Planning on swapping in the head in a couple of weeks and the harnesses. Still have to get a head gasket, Timing belt, And misc. odds and ends. Allready swapped in the rear disks and rear sway bar. Planning on only running about 300 hp out of this setup. Turbo hasnt been plummed to the intake yet but do have all the parts to finish it, car just has 250,000 on it and It tappes at the top end allready and want to do a hone job and stick the new forged pistons in that have been collecting dust for the last year. Pic's will come once I get them uploaded to Photobucket. Maybe by that time the car will be painted flat black (for now).

Only one of the combustion chambers look like it was burning a bit of oil. Getting block from same car tomarrow and doing a hone job and installing the new pistons I've had for months.

Cant figure out what this is, it says trw on it and looks like it,s been installed on the harness.

The old 97's head up for sale. Only 80,000 on it.

Pic's of the installed gs items comming tomarro when it stops snowing. I still need to get the block tomarro and getting the trans also from the gs, my trans syncro's are bad in 1st and 2nd and its not shifting as good as it used to. Still need to get the gs head gasket and timing belt for the swap. The gs in the Jy still has a timing belt and it looks to be good, but im going to get a new one just in case. I thought I heard something about a greddy kevlar lined timing belt??? Do they offer them for the gs motors or is the 4g63t belt the same?? I hope everything comverts without any problems, I dont have any galant members out here close except boostzealot and scsi and they've dissapeared off the face of the earth and dont know much about the 4g64's. wish me luck.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Ok, so I took some pic's of the installed gs items and some mods that Ive done to the car.

You like my exaust pipe??? LOL, the burnt tip muffler fell off and ...well, I'm cheap so I got a 3" pipe from autozone and welded it on. Exaust allready has a magnaflow 3" res on it so it's got a mean, deep growl to it now, but not annoying and high pitched like most the ricers out there.
http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/facerhighperformance2006/PA300012.jpg
The gs rear disks installed. You can see where my suspension was sagging and rubbing the tire and cutting it to shreds. Had to grind the plates that the bumper bolts to down to get it to stop.

Used locktite superglue to fasten the boot to the cover. Ya I know, wierd way to get it to stay on but the locktite shit is strong as hell. Used it on my guage cluster 2 years ago and its still holding strong.

Got a new cue ball and drilled a nd tapped it for the welded bolt on the shifter. Looks good huh? Feels great and the throw was reduced by maybe 10-15 percent. Going to cut and shorten a generick ebay short throw shifter to the same domensions after I get the trans changed to the gs one.
http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/facerhighperformance2006/PA300029.jpg
Fog switch installed. Remeber, that this car didnt come with power anything, Is all changed over to power everything even without the gs harnesses installed. Wasnt to hard , just had to change the harness under the dash to a 94-95 es one and the harness to the tails and the regulators and such. Took a day in total to get it changed over. Neighbors thought I was tweakin' for sure!! LMFAO.

My 2 audiobahn subs (got the box with subs for 30 dollars) and 800 w volfenhagen amp is bolted under the rear deck. More to come as I get started on the GS engine swap. Got to go get the gs block and trans tomarrow. Will post pic's of the block when i get the chance. Might be looking for a good gs block if I cant hone out the surface rust on the cylender walls.

[phizzalot]

Pretty impressive, Iam kinda surprised to see ya back in a 7g but I guess you couldn't stay away for long :)

Um couple questions for ya...

Why didn't you just make your short shifter shorter?
what benefit would modding an ebay short shifter be over your custom setup now?

What will you be using for engine management? safc/maft/evoecu/eclipse/ecu ?

What type of pistons/rods are those?

Honestly I think those wire harness are over kill, but at the price you mentioned sounds like a steal.... Looks like your off to a great start though good luck and hope to see more updates soon...

[97dsmturbogalant]

The harness is required to do the "easy" dohc gs swap. I'm basically transforming the s into a gs slowly. I hate wiring. Couldve done the whole 4g63t way and done the eclipse ecu, but why???? Ya, I can get my hands on a 63t w 16g fmic and 22 psi guarantee but then I would have to spend 3 months of wiring and soldering and troubleshooting when I've got a perfectly good gs harness and 3 gs ecu's, 2 of wich are eprom and can be socketed by eculink for the gst maps or any maps I want to make and also can datalog with eculink. I got out of the honda's just because of the wiring conversion bit and the fact that honda doesnt have a factory turbo kit that will bolt up with ease. mitsubishi has endless posibilitys with there eclipse and evo turbo setups and parts. plus every dog and there cat has a fucking rice honda out here. 1 other galant other than mine that has any potential and he's just like the noobs on here that paint there grills and hubcaps. I'm well known for the mods and work and progress that ive done on the g and even on a limited budjet. As for the tuning setup, I'm using one of the gs eprom ecu's and a safc2 and maft gen 2 w 3" gm corvett maf. if I need more from there, I'll figgure it out from there. The shifter was a quick mod and just to improve the feel of the shifter. The ebay knockoffs ive looked at look like there just as high as the stock one, they just reduce the throw of the shifts, not the hieght anmd feel of the shifter, thats why i'm going to shorten the ebay short shifter. May go shorter with it also. I love the feel of the f1 indy cars shifters as they are tall enough to fit in your hand and you can shift them practically with your wrist and no arm movement. Thats what I'm going for. I think peanotation has a machined one that is perfect for my setup, but I cant seem to find one like it. As for the pistons, they are stock gs 64sa pistins w new rings on top of 99 4g64 rods. Nothing spetial eccept that they were free to me, traded them for my 97's bottom end. Needed gs pistons as there supposed to be 10:1 for the gs dohc motor. I'm just going to get the gs motor running for now in stock form so I can make sure all the bugs are out of the gs swap before I start putting her under boost. Saving up for the forged 8.5:1 pistons i'm going to needfor the boost I want to be able to push. I've had a g since I first sharted with mitsubishi's. I baught this 94 before the 97 was out of commision. could have had 2 g's, but the 97 had a bad auto and I hated the interior and it had a 700 dollar title loan. the s was only 500 dollars and it has grey interior and its a original 5 speed, meaning i dont have to fuck around with the wiring I'de have to do to convert a auto to stick. I choose the easy and cheap way every time. Ya, given changing it over to power evrything was a bitch, but the wifey said she wouldnt buy it unless I'de convert it to power. lol. And I have to tear evrything out again to convert the gs ecu and harness over, but thats 1 days worth of plug and play conversion as to where i'de be 3 months of headach with the eclipse conversion. lol. Thanks for the compliments and I'll keep ya' all updated.

[phizzalot]

oooo Ok :) LoL man that paragraph is a little hard to read but I got thru it :)

It seems you will have a lot of option's with dmslink, maft and safc but makes sense to go that route to match your current parts...

I'am interested in seeing the way your short shifter turns out I may do something similar if I ever can find someone that can weld it for me cheap. Good Luck!!!

[mko]

GS and ES/S/LS pistons are the same. Its just the DOHC head that makes higher compression than the SOHC.

[RedLine DOHC]

where did you find your gauge faces

[97dsmturbogalant]

Well, I got a small update, went to the j/y today to get all the parts to replace the things the thieves broke when they broke into the g. Got a new looking airbag, new looking dash, vents, center benzel and the window they broke out in the rear door.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Ok, mko, so if all the pistons are the same for all the models, whats the difference in the markings on top of the pistons? some have 64SA and some just 64S? Was allways wondering about that. Does anybody know where I can get the guage overlays for the gs 150mph cluster?? My white gauge cluster is going to be up for sale here in a while after I get the gs swap done, I'll post on here when I'm selling them.

[Galant306m]

i got a set but they only go to 140 :(

[DOHCstunr]

no one makes gauge faces for the GS cluster. Black looks the best anyways

[97dsmturbogalant]

I just dont like the way they light up. I am looking for them to light up like the new canyons from the back where the numbers and letters light up. Like my buddys rx8. Theres a post somewhere on one of the galant forums of a guy that made his own that use that lighting material from the back of the faces and they look sweet lit up. I'll see if I can find the link. So here's a question to the gs members, If I use my s 140mph cluster with the gs swap, do you think it'll read the correct mph or will it be 10 mph off? remember that im using the whole harness and ecu from the gs.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Did some work on the g today, got the rear door window replaced, got the old dash out and got it ready to be changed over. Going to install it tomarro when there is some daylight.

IIRC, 94 GS is 64D.
64SA=9.5:1 cr
64S=9.0:1 cr

[DOHCstunr]

Man i hope with all this looting that you actually picked up the GS interior. The S interiors are such junk(no offense)
As for the cluster..... you can use the non-GS cluster if you'd like... but your tach won't work.

hey john my s interior isnt bad.. leather and in good shape.. but i bet the GS interior is still better lol


and id switch the clusters

If you have the leather then you don't really have the S interior. Yours was upgraded as an option.

Check the pics of his interior above.

[97dsmturbogalant]

I got the carpet from the gs, the door pannels were junk(ripps and cuts), the seats were in good shape but i'de have to fab up the brackets for the rear seat since its a fold down seat and my s doesnt come equipped for the brackets, but I did get the whole roof skin w/sunroof and visors, headliner and switches. The car I got the dash out of had leather originally, And was a 94 s But it had a jdm japan sticker on it but no dsm tags, leather was cracked to shit on the seats. I'm just going to order some custom catzkin covers for the S seats. My door pannels are allready swapped to the 97 gray es ones. I'm looking to do the leather inserts for them like mko did on his pannels, looks really clean.

[Galanttuner10]

john your right, my old 95 galant s had a shitty cloth interior.. gald thats gone haha

and dsm galant.. nice work and a lot of parts.. they wouldnt let you just take the GS?? all ur missing seems to be the exterior lol

[97dsmturbogalant]

No, they wanted 400 for the whole shell and I dont have a place to keep it untill I stripped it. They can sell the whole car here, we just cant have the vin number. I would've had to search for every vin number on the car and change it to keep legal per utah law. The gs doesnt have that much in difference on the exterior. A wing, fog lights, sunroof(wich I allready got the whole roof w/sunroof), now if it was a vr4.........I would've grabbed it in a heartbeat!!!!! I would'nt care how long it took to change the vin's! LMFAO. But that would take out all the fun of modding and converting the usdm's.

Got the dash installed today. Looks much better and feels much better.

A wing, fog lights, sunroof(wich I allready got the whole roof w/sunroof), now if it was a vr4.........I would've grabbed it in a heartbeat!!!!! I would'nt care how long it took to change the vin's! LMFAO. But that would take out all the fun of modding and converting the usmd's.

Got the dash installed today. Looks much better and feels much better.

GS cluster works fine. looking for leather seats in gray or black with non folding rear seat.....or maybe with. let me know what ya got or find.
FYI
evo 8-9 seats are an easy install if you can find a good deal on some locally

I like the GS seats not just for the fabric, but ecause they have much more agressive side bolsters and a deeper bucket than all of the other 7g seats.

Havn't done much to the g lately, just been cruisin' around with her loving the spool sound of the turbo. I'm currently on hold with the mods on her cause I'm looking at 2 gs's on ksl here localy. Might be getting both and either putting the s back to stock and using it a s a daily driver/ winter car, or saleing it and transfering the parts to the gs I decide is in the best shape. One gs is 600 running, and one is 350 with a blown motor. The good thing about the two is there identicle. What I dont use off the donor gs will be sold on the forums. Plus the gs dohc swap parts Ive aquired over the months. I'll know in a couple of weeks if this is the new plan or not, I'll let you all know.

how hard was it to pull the dash? thinking of painting mine and recovering the seats to match if its not to tuff

[97dsmturbogalant]

Its not bad at all actually, theres 10 bolts that actually keep the dash intact, and a dosen or so screws you have to remove to get things out of the way. You have to remove the center console to remove the dash by undoing the 2 screws that are under the shifter benzel, then the 1 screw thats under the change tray in the middle of the console, then the 2 screws that are on the sides at the rear of the center console, and the console will lift out. the cluster is a sinch as there are 4 screws on each corner, and once there out, the cluster will pull right out without haveing to undo wires and connectors. Id'e have to say the center vent is the hardest to get out without breaking the tabs that hold the vents to the trim. Be slow and take your time and youll get it done in no time. It takes me about an hour and a half to change the dash. a little longer in my car since I have to drill holes and run wires for the center turbo guage cluster.

heres and exampile of the screws on my dash.....

Red is the 10 major bolts and screws that hold the dash in place.
Black is the bolts and screws that hold the metal sterio tray in place.
Yellow is where the guide pin is located to align the dash correctly.
Blue is the 2 bolts and 2 screws that hold the airbag in place.

There is'nt any retaining bolts or screws behind the center vent, but you still need to CAREFULLY remove it as there is a cable connected to the left vent that connects down to the heater box underneath the dash.

[RedLine DOHC]

thanks, so basically I have done everything but pull the dash before and didn't now it, had the center console out for the short shifter and to run amp wires, all the vents including center for paint the gauge cluster for paint and wiring in tach and gauge power, lower driver side to remove some shitty ass alarm that was rigged in when I bought it and again for wiring and new steering wheel. should make things easier knowing that I have done 90% already and not broken anything.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Great, glad I could help. Dont forget to undo the ignition plug to the igniton switch before you undo the 2 bolts that hold the stering column in place. I forgot to do that the first time I pulled the dash to swap the es harness for the power wind, ect., and thankfully I only broke the tab that clicks the plug in the ignition switch. Theres 4 or 5 plugs that connect the dash harness to the main harness and there on the drivers side right where the speaker is located. You can pull the dash out a little then get on the drivers side outside the door and get to them easely. Good luck. What color are you going to paint the dash?

[RedLine DOHC]

semi gloss black because it will really make the white accents pop plus it gets rid of that wierd blue

[97dsmturbogalant]

Was your gs originally white w/blue/tan interior? The one I'm getting is white w/blue/tan interior also. Can you post a pic of the blue interior? And did the seats come with blue seats or grey seats?

[mko]

I hate the blue interior. OMG it was good my car didnt come with one of these.but everything is paintable. Ill be doing my dash very soon when I change my windshield......again

[DOHCstunr]

I love the blue interior. I always hated the brown interior lol.
I guess people have different taste. :P

[mko]

I love the blue interior. I always hated the brown interior lol.
I guess people have different taste. :P

OMG brown interior too. Not too many cars with the brown interrior tho. But still i dislike it.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Thats why I'm thinking of changing my interior to the dark grey. just dont want dark grey int., and blue seats. We'll see how the wifey likes it and what shape it's in. I agree on the tan interior, YUK! Had that shit in my 97 and hated that shit bad. Could never keep it clean.

Post some more pics son. maybe its time for a build thread. I like the fabrication on the center console. If you need airbag i have one just pay shipping and its your

[RedLine DOHC]

pm me a price for the shipping, and for the build its all getto stuff no go fast bits yet

[97dsmturbogalant]

Ok, so it's been awhile since ive posted anything on updates so I got a couple of updates. For one , the bastards broke into the g again (same window) and got the tach and guages and tryed to syphon the gas (wasnt any) and tore my visors to shit. They got caught 2 days later trying to break into some more cars but cops said there wasnt anything in house but needles and meth pipes when they searched the house. So the subs, amp from the 1st break in and tach and guages from the second are a lost cause. going to the j/y tomarro to get the 8g sway bar and tubular rear lower control arms. Got some replacement rear door pannels as the old ones where ripped and some seat covers for free. not much else going on for now as winter is pounding the shit out of us, but soon the mods will come more and more. Yes, I decided to keep her and finish what I started.

R.I.P. Galant forums.

[Bloody Arro]

You gonna keep the GF on your window?

[97dsmturbogalant]

Hell yea! GF was the first forums where I started getting interested in modding galants. Got to show some respect to the fallen. LOL.

[Bloody Arro]

Lol.

I'd keep the GalantForums, but take the smaller Galantforums.com at the bottom off.
That IS just me though

[97dsmturbogalant]

HHmm,....Never thought about that, might just have to do that. Thanks for pointing that out.

[97dsmturbogalant]

So it's been a sad month here for me, I got pulled over for no insurance(wife never payed it and I didn't know), and got the car impounded. My buddy got it out for me and I owed him $850 and didn't have the cash to get him payed and after 30 days he kept the car as payment. I'm deeply disturbed. Shit makes me sick. So i'm selling some of the parts that I didn't get the chance to get on. Ive got the whole gs dohc swap, the new pistons, and misc items, pm me for info. I'm currently looking for another galant to restart with but I know it wont be the same. Memories. I might not even stick with mitsu, Don't know, we'll see how it all goes with the galant searching. Just a couple of days ago, I missed my chance to have a 6th gen '91 gvr4 for 500, but missed it by a day. Wish me luck.

[DOHCstunr]

^ good luck to you man, but be glad you didn't buy the vr4. If you can't afford your 7g, you'd never be able to afford a 6gvr4. Seriously.

[4-G-rim]

John is right...a GVR4 requires deeper pockets. Sadly enough..i know:089:

[DOHCstunr]

They also require a deidcated owner. One that is devoted to caring and providing for a moving(and breathtaking) piece of automotive history/excellence.

Lucky for #1948 of 2000.... it was found by a die hard like Kevin.

[97dsmturbogalant]

I'm back with another G!!!! Just couldn't stay away. Iv'e been in the rock crawling/off-road scene lately and came across this 95 s for $375. It needed a distributor, spark plug wires and a exhaust flex pipe. Got her on the road for 50 and some change. Plans are the interior swap for the power windows, mirrors & locks, prothane suspension upgrade, disk brake swap from the gs I found in the J/y, rims and JDM/paint for now.

Yes, that is a gs trunk, the old one was rusted out and I snagged this and the disk brake swap parts for $30.

I also found the love of my life and have been married for 4 years the 15th of this month. Awesome to be back in a G and Have the support of my wife and the funds to support the parts flow and mods comming.
I'm going to be in the market for a diamond edition jdm bumper, world spec heads, and vr4 skirts in the next couple of months so I can get her painted.

[gtx]

Wow, over 5 years! Congrats, and welcome back to the Galant World!
