Azgalant's evo head build and 5-speed

[azgalant]

Alright I have decided to start this build thread because I am almost done with my swap. I decided to go on this route because i basically done all the performance bolt on things like from ebay which I wasn't really happy with the results it gave me lol. So after a lot of research I thought this was the best route for me. What has been done to it is that it has been built from top to bottom with mostly all performance parts so we'll see how it comes out can't wait :045:. I am thinking of being NA for awhile until I have enough money for turbo lol

Evo 8 head-
HKS Adjustable Cam Gear-
Brian Crower stage 2 cams-
turbo manifold and Magnus intake manifold and magnus fuel rail-
Evo 8 Ecu-
Eagle Rods-
Weiseco Pistons-
Arp studs-
Hks timing belt-
Evo 8 Injectors-
I know I am missing more but can't think of it lol

5 Speed Tranny
Tranny with the whole swap setup-
Exedy Stage 2 Clutch-


This is my first car and i have had it for about five years.

Damn that's sick. Looks very clean man, keep us posted with pics.

[stvn_mj]

Looks good so far. It's nice to see another AZ member. You should look into the thread made by another member so we can get a meet.

[azgalant]

Yea thanks and yea i'll try had more pictures but I lost them already lol and yea I have seen it, but my car won't be done for like another month hopefully less lol and yea we can arrange a meeting sometime in the future lol

[mrg7243]

hopefully my car will be like this in a year or two, ive hade these plans just not money. But nice build anyways, JW what head work is done besides intake??

[stvn_mj]

Well we haven't done one in a while so when it's done let us know. Your build makes me want to install my own 5 speed but it just sits in my garage atm. Goodluck with the build keep us updated.

[beam514]

dang where the hell did you come from?! lol this is nice keep up the good work

[azgalant]

Actually the head is basically stock parts just machined and all i have for internals is the eagle rods and the Wiseco pistons and the Brian Crower Stage 2 Camshafts. Other than that the block just got cleaned and bored out.

[azgalant]

dang where the hell did you come from?! lol this is nice keep up the good work

Haha I have been around just not really active but yeah I will definitely keep everybody update with pictures and videos of the dyno with and without turbo

[Rizzzo29]

yeah for sure dude, same build alot have been looking at or doing, thats sick how you came out of nowhere with an engine i would eat breakfast off :)

[azgalant]

Haha yea thanks and i was actually thinking of doing the kia optima swap that i even bought the head and valve cover which i have extra now lol but yea anyways I just like how the evo 8 head looked lol

[showtime]

where did you come from?!?! I am in tempe, and we have a few more members in phx too!

[azgalant]

Lol wow didn't know many members from az but yea all I do is hang out with my friends and car club we usually go to scottsdale pavilions or we just stay in chandler and once in awhile we go to phoenix for the illegals lol

[showtime]

i dont take the G to the pavillions because its basically stock, but I will soon. Find the AZ meet thread if you want to meet up

[Galantfan88]

Heyyyy I cant see the pix???

[azgalant]

Idk what to say its working well with me unless you want the direct link to the pictures so here's one

[Serstylz2]

what headlights are those, are those the stock ones but the beam is more.. centered? did you remove the j-cone in the heads?

[azgalant]

Well the headlights i bought them from ebay a while back and they just look like the regular stock ones except with black housing and hid

[Galantfan88]

Ok now its working and damn that is nice....awesome job!!!! you ganna dyno it?

[Stewi]

Nice work man, welcome to the EVO swap club

[azgalant]

Nice work man, welcome to the EVO swap club

Thanks Stewi I just hope that my car will make 369.9whp in the future like yours lol or at least 300 lol and yes my plans is having it dyno with being NA and then with turbo to see the difference lol

[Galantfan88]

Imma do that same after getting the new motor in, Im going to keep the motor thats in the car right now and build this one up and put an Evo head on it. Love the workk

[Galantfan88]

Thanks Stewi I just hope that my car will make 369.9whp in the future like yours lol or at least 300 lol and yes my plans is having it dyno with being NA and then with turbo to see the difference lol

I believe you'll surely make around 360 + with the modifications you have going on there.

[Stewi]

Yeah my dyno run in the garage is from 2005. If all goes well I will be on a dyno in the next 3-4 weeks time shooting for 500+whp.

[azgalant]

Yeah my dyno run in the garage is from 2005. If all goes well I will be on a dyno in the next 3-4 weeks time shooting for 500+whp.

Wow that's good with me I will be happy with 300 after turbo lol and also because I have no idea how much hp my head will be able to withstand with just being stock except for the cams so don't really want to push until I know how much it will stand before messing up my engine lol

[azgalant]

Hey just wanted to let everybody know that my car is finally running BUT my engine light is on don't know how to get rid of it still using my stock ecu heard something that i need like an ecu from a 99 galant can anybody help me lol and also that as long as i have just motor that it will stay on until i get turbo?

[beam514]

you're getting the transmission solenoid codes?

[azgalant]

Yea think that's all I have because I went to manual I even got the evo ecu but it didn't fit thought that was all i needed lol need to check what code it was though lol

[4g63lover]

You're using the stock ECU on your headswapped 4G64?

What do you mean the EVO ECU didn't fit?

[Boosted]

^ X2 The Evo ECU should fit and operate fine with the headswap.

[azgalant]

Well I am using my stock 4g64 ecu the thing is that I am not sure if i need the whole evo ecu harness to make it fit cuz the ecu itself won't unless i'm seeing something wrong lol

[4g63lover]

what do you mean the ECU wont fit? like position wise? or wiring wise? You might need to do some wiring but people have proven the EVO ECU works on the I4's even with the SOHC. I would think the EVO harness would fit with minimal wiring with the EVO head swap.

As far as position wise, you can mount the ECU wherever you want in the car. As long as it's in the cabin.

Have you gotten the codes read? I bet it's because the ECU doesnt like the head swap.

Idk i'll have to check it again lol and let you guys know lol but thanks and when the codes came out they told me it was the transmission one but its running great now no problems just that the light is still on lol

[mrg7243]

in order to make the EVO fit you need to get an adapter harness from boomslang since the galant-evo pinouts and connectors are different

[4g63lover]

why dont you run the EVO harness with the EVO ECU?

[beam514]

Changing the entire harness to the Evo harness would be a PITA. Unless you're already planning to do a wire tuck or something, I would just go with the boomslang harness

[azgalant]

in order to make the EVO fit you need to get an adapter harness from boomslang since the galant-evo pinouts and connectors are different

Thanks dude didn't know what i had to do lol thought it was just me that was missing something so yea i'll try to get the boomslang thing lol

[4g63lover]

The thing about boomslang is, it's either a hit or miss. I think it was Run1206 who had to de-pin and re-pin his boomslang harness. I'd rather re-do the whole harness than deal with having to pay someone to do something then just re-do it myself again. swapping the hwhole harness would be more cost efficient and less risky IMO.

[mrg7243]

heres some quick info on the boomslang https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=37847&highlight=evo+8

[azgalant]

Its been awhile since I have updated this post so decided I would let you guys know how its going and also i ran into a small problem hoping you guys can help me.............my car has been running for awhile but just last night I got it tuned for NA with the evo ecu and he told me it would run much faster with the knock sensor. So reading up I saw that the 2.4 doesn't have Knock sensor.
Also I saw duh2150 build and he had the same problem but I am still confused on how he fixed it.
1. I need the evo 8 knock sensor right?
2. My rev meter is at 0 until I shift then it goes to where its suppose to be and as soon as I shift it goes back to 0.......so how would I be able to fix that?
3. How would I wire the knock sensor into the ECU?

[qnz]

you should buy the evo knock sensor. theyre about $80. You wire it up by running the line straight to the Ecu.

if your rev limiter is at 0, that means you are bouncing off the limiter at idle?

[azgalant]

Yea that what I thought just wanted to clarify so thanks............just need to find where to put the knock sensor

About the rev...... the limiter was at 7200 so the person that tuned it put it down to 6200. The car is drivable i just have to go by the sound of the car so I know when to shift........I would rather see it in my gauge but what it does is that when I gas it the rev meter goes down to zero but when i let out the gauge works so its like working backwards lol ANY IDEAS?

[beam514]

were you 5 speed at MOD? I can't remember

[azgalant]

were you 5 speed at MOD? I can't remember

Lol yea i had it but with the long trip my car was dirty and so i just had my car closed that's why

[qnz]

oh, a backwards rev limiter. i dont know what to say about that?

there are 2 spots on the back of the block that you can screw in the knock sensor. One is toward the middle of the block. the other is closer to the passenger side of the block. I would first chase the holes with a bolt of the same pitch + thread to clean out any debris in there. The knock sensor is made of some soft metal (aluminum?) and i had the misfortune of messing up the thread on it because there was some debris/rust in the hole

[Stewi]

its supposed to go here!

[azgalant]

ok thanks i'll try to do it today so if i run into a problem i'll let you guys know

[Da_Prodigy]

I was wondering what ever happened to your car since you never updated if u completed the swap, good to know you did. You should post some pics.

[azgalant]

I was wondering what ever happened to your car since you never updated if u completed the swap, good to know you did. You should post some pics.

Yea its completed its actually been done since like last july. Also, I had to pass emissions so it was parked for awhile, so as soon as it passed I took it to get tuned and that's when I found out I needed a knock sensor.

[azgalant]

Well I just wanted to update on the progress of my car.........I put a new knock sensor in and wired it straight to the ecu. The code came off for the knock sensor so i am guessing that it worked. There are other codes but i'll deal with them later lol.

There you can see where I drilled the whole for the wire
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac71/2001azgalant/IMG_0169.jpg

This shows where I messed up and cut the wrong wire......was reading the ecu diagram backwards. Also shows where I had to solder the pin to the wire because I broke with my finger. I guess I bent too much.

very nice. keep it up

[azgalant]

Thanks hopefully by the end of the month I can install all of it.........but i am debating if I should dyno it before I put turbo just to see how much hp I have now lol

[mko]

you can always run it w/o the IC piping. Just put the MAS on there

[azgalant]

True lol but i'll see I just can't wait to put it on lol

[beam514]

nice! can't wait to see how this turns out

[Galantfan88]

Ahaaaaa the beauty of a Precision Turbo
Had one myself but seals where done on it and had to be rebuilt and not only that but I think it was maybe alil to big and I would of had alot of turbo lag there so got my self a nice Turbonetics Turbo but Im loving what you got there man, keep up the good work.

[Isaurio]

Yeah dyno before and after. See how much hp you gain from mods. Dyno with DOHC first them turbo

I have other tubing and that's it for now.

[dGALANTc]

looks good man thumbs up

[Galantfan88]

I would say the only thing that confuses me is that you have the knock sensor coming through the fire wall and than into the connector that connected to the ECU but its not connected to the engine wiring harness itself. Is this correct? Im just trying to figure out where you got that extra green wire or where did you pull that out from. All of mine are connected...so what I am trying to figure out; should I just tap that red knock sensor wire into Pin 78 green wire even though its connected to the engine wiring harness?

Lol what I did was just kinda guessing because I couldn't find anything about how to connect the knock sensor.............I might be doing it the wrong way so if somebody knows a better way to do it let me know.

What I did was cut the green wire that goes from the stock wiring harness to the ecu.......I just checked that the wire I was cutting was from slot 78 coming from the ecu. From there the green wire that was coming from the ecu I just connected the wire from the knock sensor. The other green wire that is loose is coming from the wiring harness that the car has but I believe that I checked it that slot and it was empty. So now I ran through the code thing and the knock sensor code if off. So either I did I did it right or something else is happening lol.

I do have other codes on but they relate to the egr, fuel and i think the turbo solenoid.

[Gtorque]

Wow great build man!! Props to you.. Nice choice on all the performance parts your going with and great work all around!

I installed my knock sensor with my evo ecu acouple weeks ago. I put the knock sensor in the location of the pic that Stewi posted earlier and grounded it to one of the spots on the block(Made sure this was clean). Then traveled the red wire through the firewall into the correct pin on the ecu.

So it sounds like I did the same thing just the red wire was too short for me thats why I extended it with a black wire.............that's why in the picture it looks like I ran the black wire through the firewall but it was just the red........i'll post some pictures on where exactly it is in the firewall.

Also another update my oil lines came in today and I just ordered the 1000cc injectors the brand is injectors dynamics hope those are good :)

[Gtorque]

^ Same injectors im running.. If i get my g up and going before you ill let you know how they are. Later on im gonna do a double pump system with bigger injectors.

Cool cool well they should arrive this week with my new Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump that I just ordered so hopefully by the end of next month i'll have everything ready for the turbo to be put on but if you beat me let me know lol


Yeah deff thanx for the pix man

No problem

[Gtorque]

^Lol Will do.. Great job man

[azgalant]

Look what just arrived..............think I am done getting parts for the turbo just need to install everything hopefully by the end of the month.

[duh2150]

cut the rpm wire that goes to the ecu problem solved, the evo8 ecu tach is an output signal, on the galant ecu its an input (pretty sure) so you have 2 outputs on 1 wire how I figured it

evo8 ecu tach Output >>-----------------<<galant speedometer tach output

let me know if this works for you,

Thanks but still confused lol was looking at the wiring diagram and couldn't figure which one to cut any help?

[duh2150]

Pin 58 from the ecu (Tach Signal (Output)) and I'm pretty sure the 8g reads the tach signal as an input to switch gears for the auto transmission

Ok thanks that the same diagram I was looking at but couldn't find it lol. Mine is a manual already does it matter? Since you said its for the auto

[duh2150]

your switching from a 2.4l automatic ecu to 2.0l manual ecu, for the automatic transmission to work it generates the voltage elsewhere in the car branches out and go to the speedometer and the galant ecu as an input to change gears, for the evo8 ecu its an output tach signal that goes to the speedometer cluster it does not need to tell anything to switch gears, so when boomslang wired it up they tied it to an output wire, what i did is, i cliped the tach wire from the ecu and used it for my shift light

Another quick question is when you did dohc swap you had to upgrade ecu, correct? Is that for what ever head is used, for ex. I may have to use sonata head bc i can't find evo head without paying arm and leg for it ( i can get the sonata head right now with in.mani., injectors, fuel rail, coolant pipe, etc. For under 100 bucks were is on average evo head alone is 300+) now back to original question would i have to run ecu with that head running n/a until i build turbo? Also did you ever get it dynoed n/a yet i am curious to what your hitting n/a before boosted?

Actually I just got it tuned for NA but for right now I just want to turbo it before MOD and do the interior. So if I have extra money left then I will dyno it before turbo but I doubt it. Also, I ran my car with the galant ecu for awhile until I have to pass emissions. The light for the for the automatic transmission came on so I knew that I wouldn't pass emissions that's why I went with the evo ecu.

Also do you know all the parts needed for the swap?

[djhah]

For the evo head or the sonata head swap? Sonata i found a tread with a parts list but not evo, but it never said anything about ecu swap that's why i was asking.

As of right now i am still auto tranny, i was thinking on swapping the head first bc i am doing head gasket right now and figured now would be good to do it. I am just saving now to get what i need while searching local jy's for 8g evo, if i don't find one ill do the sonata. In nashville area all the yards i have found sofar is nothing but one 02 lancer and it was stripped by the time i got to it, all that was left was the body lol.

Thanks and yea putting the id 1000 now and getting it tuned so after I will do a video and I am going to run low boost until I get money for an evo tranny :)

Lol thanks and yea I started it up already and just now got it tuned but BIG PROBLEM the turbo won't boost its only like at 8 psi cuz of the wastegate. So have to see if there's a leak or the actual turbo is no good so too late today to find out

Really? evo ecu? you using ecuflash? Did you get a MBC? that should help you increase your boost even though your waste gate will see 8, if thats what its set at.

Yea I think theres a vacuum leak somewhere lol I will check tomorrow......but it is evo ecu got flashed everything on the tune looked great just it wouldn't go pass 8 psi. It has boost controller and we tried to increase and decrease it and it was always at 8 psi....
Things to do tomorrow is check the bov and wastegate then see if there's any leaks :)

Looks good man! Glad to see you got it boosted now :) I see you extended the exhaust manifold pipes to clear the starter too? LMK if I can get that OBX header from you since you wont be needing it anymore ;)

[Stewi]

Looks good. Make sure you heat wrap that upper radiator hose where it passes the #4 runner and above the wastegate dump tube, a few heat cycles and that shit will melt and cause big problems.

In regards to your boosting problems. What spring is the in wastegate? What type of boost controller do you have? How is it hooked up? I didnt see one hooked up in the pics you posted above. Also, what are you using to determine how much boost your making, are you reading it from a gauge or from the logging software for EcuFlash? Does the boost max at 8psi in every gear??

Yea it go extended..............for a point there I thought that I was going to need a custom built one but they were able to use the one I had. Also about the headers I can sell them to you real cheap if you want and I can even deliver them since I will be in cali :).

Actually as far as the wastegate I do not know what springs it has.....boost controller is HBC boost controller and I am taking some new pictures right now to show how it is hooked up. Also as far as the boost gauge I just grab one from autozone because I was in a hurry so I will buy a better one. Also when we tested it we were tuning it so the whole time was on the 3rd gear pull. He said I might also need a throttle sensor because it was just showing that throttle was at 80 percent when i was flooring it. The turbo itself look great so don't know if the turbo is the problem there was no shaft play or anything on it. So I will start to see if the vacuum lines are right.

[Stewi]

Take a closer pic of where your throttle cable bolts to the intake manifold? Are you using an EVO cable or an 8g cable? In order to get proper cable tension using the 8g cable, you need to modify the bracket on the cable, that will make it sorta work right, or you can just make a plate to adapt it, to make it work 100% right. The problem is the cable mounts to the manifold too close to the TB, this causes slack in the cable, so the first 25% of your pedal push is just taking up the slack, which prevents you from getting the throttle open all the way, because your pedal hits the floor before its all the way open.

If you are running the EVO cable, you might have a bad sensor, or just need to re-calibrate the sensor in the software.

You also need to know which spring your running. A manual boost controller can only provide boost to levels double of the waste gate spring pressure. So if you have a 5psi spring, your max level of boost with the boost controller all the way bottomed out is 10psi, if you consider having boost leaks too, you might only see about 8psi.

I found this hose disconnected

Had to make a custom harness for the injectors

LOVE ZIP TIES LOL Alright this happened last night when I was on the freeway I started smelling a great amount of fuel so as soon as I pulled over it shut off. So I get out and see gas spilling over my headlights. So I noticed that the fuel line came off.
Good thing I carry zip ties in my car lol

Should I put a vacuum line on top of the wastegate too?

Ok I will try to take a closer picture and yes I should be running 8g cable
Also I will check on the spring and yes I have considered a boost leak which if nothing works then I will have to check for a boost leak.

No you "shouldn't" be running the 8g cable, you should be running the EVO cable because its "right". You can use the 8g cable though, you just need to know how to install it correctly so it functions the right way.

Thanks stewi I will buy that as soon as I can

Great turn out bro it looks great!!! :) Videos!! Videos!! lol

Oh ya and did you fix your boost leak? I had the same problem you had on my Talon.It was the bov.

[4g63lover]

Youre going to solder and heatshrink the new wires to the injectors right?

[IVORY_G]

Yea it got extended..............for a point there I thought that I was going to need a custom built one but they were able to use the one I had. Also about the headers I can sell them to you real cheap if you want and I can even deliver them since I will be in cali :)

Yeah remember I had told you they should be able to like how Gtorque did his? Glad it all worked out!
Yeah txt me with the details and lmk, u still have my #?

[Gtorque]

^ correct exactly how mines was done.he came out great too!!

That what some of my friends were thinking too but we will see

And don't worry I will do some videos just haven't had time lately with work

Alright another update......i fixed all my leaks and it started boosting but it never went over 11psi but it seemed that my tuner didn't tune right or something at normal driving it lost power so I parked it and today I drove and it started knocking hope its just the valves......really would be pissed if I spun a bearing at 11psi so yea its parked for now

[IVORY_G]

Dang, sorry to hear. Hope you figure things out...

[foxbrand]

spun bearing, knocking, I agree, I also hope for your sake that it is just a valve

[Gtorque]

No bueno bro. Don't stress it. It'll get done
