Keith6110 1999 Reincarnated Galant

[99 galant]

Nice job on the promotion, now come grab my galant! haha jkjk, I'm sure you'll find something good close. But I'm more than willing to drive it to you!

[keith6110]

Congrats on the promotion Keith, keep us posted on the winter car and keep up the good work, stay encouraged homie!

Thanks! I'll keep you guys posted on the winter car. Hoping to find a 4 banger galant so I'm more well rounded on the platform engine-wise lol.

Lol! I would love to have it, but I'm looking for something almost Junkyard worthy. Something I could pick up on the cheap and not really care what becomes of it. Your g is still clean and well taken care of, so it's really not the car I'm looking for (unless you want to get rid of it for ~$1500). That's my max limit for the winter car. If you see an 8g galant or 1g turbo talon in your area for around that, let me know.

[Rach3T8G]

Congrats on the promotion man!! & pick up kouki's G already lol

[01ESv6]

Factoryville, just north of scranton a little.....She just might be but from sitting so long she won't pass inspection, as I've got rust thru the rear driver's wheel well trunk area from a bad fender repair and paint job done at a shop after an someone backed up into it and I let the guy off easy letting him paying cash to have it fixed......:(

[oakrdrs187]

Looks like Keith took SEP COTM. Well deserved IMO.

[keith6110]

Thanks for the Votes TGC! =)





Took my gts engine apart, just to see the damage, I'm suprised the car ran at all when I had put it back in time on the highway.

You can see where the intake valves hit off the pistons, funny the pistons seem to be in good condition still.

Just showing how clean the heads were:

I also took the 6g74 out of the diamante at the yard. 107k miles and looks like the engine was taken care of inside.

^^ your Timing belt went out on the highway?

[keith6110]

^^ your Timing belt went out on the highway?

yea, when I was leaving the TGC meet in Queens ny. I had to tow it with the gsx and leave it at Qnz's house overnight. I'll never forget how scared I was for everyone's safety while taking the timing belt off and re-adjusting it between the highway and an exit.

Pic from where we timed the car ^^^

[wetamup2k3g]

Wow those heads were silver clean, the wife's Diamante heads were clean too, but they had a golden yellow color to the casting where yours is silver/gray, damn shame about that motor. Congrats on the apparent COTM win too!

[keith6110]

Damn shame is right =/ I'm going to rebuild the heads and leave it aside for a spare I guess. Don't jynx me on the COTM lol, I've wanted it since I became a member and saw the featured cotm. Does look like a landslide win though.

[finald8ta]

lol its a car meet in the middle of the highway, thats awsome. congrats on cotm

[oakrdrs187]

^^^ I was just gonna say...LoL. Car meet after the car meet. Some one should have started BBQ'in.

Nice you had you bro's with you.

[IVORY_G]

Cool to see u opted to go with the 6G74 motor, should definitely be a nice upgrade ;)

[keith6110]

I'm pretty excited about it too! I don't think I'll feel the raw power it has to offer, I'm just going to go right ahead and put forged pistons in it and drop it in ready to boost.
I have to get a daily first before I swap it in.

Thanks for the congrats guys!


I just got coilovers delivered today so I had to put them on =)

I'll post some pics I took tomorrow sometime (or later today). It feels more like the gsx/gst now, its awesome. I tested it out on the biggest holes in the road going extremely slow to make sure my bumper makes it to the highway in the morning. I cleared the deepest hole by about 1.5in.

Hopefully I won't be posting any broken fiberglass, KNOCK ON WOOD.

[Exhaust power]

When your on coilovers you never hit a big pot hole! i never did and hope i never will!

[Blue8g]

Son you need moar low. I was lower than that on springs haha

[keith6110]

I don't think you guys understand my 3rd world country roads.

I rolled into a pot hole on my road and got out to see how far away my bumper was from the ground. ~ an inch til my fiberglass bumper breaks.
This is the lowest I'm willing to go, I inflated the tires a little up front and hardened the ride to keep from losing my bumper.

[wetamup2k3g]

That's a modest drop, and that's all I want, to even the disparity between the front and rear wheel gaps. Looking good Keith!!

I feel ya, just be careful on the road, you'll be alright. Car looks better each time I see it, get that maroon joint ip and rolling as the daily, you'll be good to go!

Agreed! 2 finger gap would look better IMO, but still keep its practicality.

[Exhaust power]

Yeah two finger gap is best of both worlds but you still have to dodge some inclines and take everything sideways for precaution(no homo).

Also you should run a slightly taller tire 225 45 18 look sick! i cant remember what member here was running them but i liked them a lot.

[Skyforger]

One of my favorites on here. Kill the wheel gap a bit more and it's perfect.

[carl3g]

No turbo, no care. Jk

Have you ever thought of a clear bra? Just to help keep rock chips and bug splatter down. It would be a shame if the paint keeps getting messed up and you redoing your work every summer or something.

[QnzMostWanted]

no roads are worse than NYC, and i daily drove slammed with a dolphin front (had about 1.5" clearance) and never hit a pothole :)

[wetamup2k3g]

Anyone been to Baltimore? Roads are complete ass. DC too. I've been to NY, they are trash too. With them potholes, you gotta know your route and dodge them shits like the Matrix lol.

No, I hate bra's and I only enjoy taking them off =P
But seriously, I bought a daily for this reason. Just have to finish getting it legal.

[oakrdrs187]

Kieth car looks awesome definetly TGC top ten. I would go a tad bit lower in front, between half inch to inch. If not raise rear that much to offset the look.

Thanks man, if you were to look at the car; the front end and rear end are almost exactly spaces the same as far as wheel gap. The rear is about stock gap where the front matches it.
I'll get some hd pics and post this weekend sometime. Maybe take her up in the mountain in an empty lot or something, hopefully get a second opinion from you guys when I show you how low the front bumper actually is.

[oakrdrs187]

Careful on your way up there. Be sure to wear your lucky underwear LoL.

[Blue8g]

Keith, get the car corner balanced once you determine the final height.

[keith6110]

Like, adjusting the camber? idk what you mean

[Blue8g]

The heights of each corner are altered to provide optimal weight distribution through each corner of the car.

[greddy]

Just buy an OEM style cf hood and paint it. The cf hoods have the jdm/Edm body lines

[keith6110]

I think I have to get the monster hood or evo style for those lines though. Iirc, stewi's car has the carbon fiber oem style and it lacks the aggressive lines. I'll look into it.

[IVORY_G]

FG Monster hood, & delete the side air intake duct. That's what I always said I would do. Would finish up your front end very nicely :)

I moved closer to work with my girlfriend last month and I paid for us to go to Jamaica for my oldest brothers wedding in may. So no updates sadly...

[spdracr]

I have a cf monster hood with some front damage from a previous accident. Some fiberglass to enforce the skeleton where the latch is and some top layer work and it should be good.

Installed Evo 9 Wheel. Sounds simple, but you have to break apart the 8g wheel and cut the welds off the evo wheel. The weld the 8g part on the evo wheel... lol.

Then I had to buff the driver side door and passenger fender, my girl friends dog decided it wanted to jump on the car to say hi... Fucker.

[Skyforger]

Looks great!

[keith6110]

Finally did the brembo upgrade and put the evo x wheels on!

[Reelax]

those evo x wheels look so much better! they make your car much cleaner and match the proportions of your car w/ kit. good work! ever tempted to color match your sideskirts and rear bumper lower section/extensions to the front chin splitter section? it would tie it together nicely.

[wetamup2k3g]

Ahh that car is dope!! I personally have a thing for gray wheels, but damn it looks good!

[M-Rod]

Very nicely done Keith! Those wheels look amazing, and the Brembos behind them... good stuff.

[carl3g]

[spdracr]

What rotors did u use and how much did they cost??

I think about doing that, but I really like how much taller the body of the car looks with the jdm skirts. I feel like I lose that if I were to color the rest of the trims grey. The only reason I did the front pieces grey was because I didn't like how wide the car appeared from the front when it was all one color.

Think I should color the wheels grey?



What rotors did u use and how much did they cost??


I was originally going to use the r1 concept rotors but didn't like the premium ones I bought previously after only 20k miles. So I gave the Brake motive ones a try because of all the good reviews online.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221007042869?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4242wt_1185

[spdracr]

I looked at those and other ones on eBay and wasn't sure which ones to get.

Ill be ordering those soon.

[Skyforger]

Superb! I'd just color match the side skirts and rear lip to match the SVR4 front splitters and folding mirrors, and perfection!

So, whatcha doing with those Eclipse wheels? Haha.

[Blue8g]

Man. You're soooo high haha

[keith6110]

Man. You're soooo high haha

lol, it's so I can still park at work.

[99galantES]

They look good funny thing is I was going to buy those this wk lol

[bgood12]

If u try a new rotor try centrics, I have the OEM ones on I had slotted brembos before that all are good I fEel pad is where the diFf is but just for me.

The lettering on the brembos are actually nothing but stickers. Unless they sell them in orange which I'm sure he could find them somewhere or get them made.

I have to agree completely. I had the same idea for a while just hadnt said it yet. Also if you add to that the JDM fender flares to help with the flow of the color (graphite grey) it would look really dope! The grey splitter in the front on its own looks out of place and needs something to tie it together like the color scheme mentioned above.

[keith6110]

lol yea, but I like how they stick out nice and red right now. Visuals are done and Brakes are done. I'm moving onto the power side now.

Why a prosport wideband? I do believe you cant log on evoscan with those.

Also are you sticking with stock bore?

Also new pumps and seals, along with a oil return to the pan

Yes stock bore 93mm pistons. I am getting the block honed out so they will fit better.

Prosport is actually just the gauge and the o2 sensor can be wired to the ecu for evoscan readings.

I have all the pumps + seals; figuring I wouldn't add it to the list as its standard for a tear apart and build.

and oil return to the pan, thank you!!! forgot to put that in my list.

[M-Rod]

Build list looks great Keith! One thing I would seriously consider is something other than the 6G74 cams, because I honestly believe you will be disappointed with the non-existent top end. I was at Justin's place last night, and his 3.6 turbo build should be road worthy this weekend. It'll be just be a matter of time to get clear results on how the powerband is shifted with the RPW Stage 2's on a Holset-boosted 74.

[keith6110]

I honestly planned on using 6g75 heads with their stock cams. But I'm having trouble sourcing them at a decent price. I'm not even sure the 6g75 heads bolt up to the 6g74 engine.

How much were the cams for his build? Keep me updated or the forums updated on this other guys build. I'm interested to know how it goes.

[deeznutz]

75 Heads fit for sure but I'd seriously dump that spec clutch!!! Lice list so far

[keith6110]

get rid of the spec clutch!? This is the same one that ripped my last transmissions differential out. I'm a spec fan for life lol as far as grabbing goes.

[beam514]

one of my buddies in socal is selling 6G75 for $200. LMK

btw I run a SPEC clutch as well. It has been fine.

[deeznutz]

I've don a ton of research on spec and it's not a really reliable clutch the problem with them is the rivits on the friction disc break, now with the power your gonna put down with this build you should really conciter upgrading to a much better clutch because i highly dout it's going to hold up! When these clutches go they also damage the flywheel just a chance not worth taking.... I will say that they do grab pretty well but your looking for something that's going to last also.

No offense beam but your running a stock 74 and I dout your accually launching you car plus IMO you've been lucky thus far...

Yes both kinds of 6g75 heads bolt up, I've test fitted both on my 6g72 when the front head was off, remember, Boostzealot is running 6g75 internals (with oversize OE rings) and fixed timing 6g75 heads in/on a 6g74 block

[QnzMostWanted]

i think boostzealot has a pair of ported 74 heads available...if needed

[keith6110]

Tj ran a spec clutch. Nuff said Lol!

[Blue8g]

I've heard some GREAT things about SPEC clutches. But hey, what do those guys know, they just track their cars all the time.

[fatal1]

there was a bad batch of spec clutches that went out a while ago....i believe it was only a problem with the stage 3 iirc, inevitably all the bad rep theyve been getting is more or less due to that....nevertheless, i had 2 stage 2 clutches and the only problem i had with them at all was the one only lasted about 20k miles....i was a nice clutch overall

[fatal1]

Also keith i just remembered i never gave you that pan with the bumpers, ill bring it to capree

[keith6110]

Hopefully my brother didn't get a crappy stage 3. Were putting it on his gsx this weekend.


Also keith i just remembered i never gave you that pan with the bumpers, ill bring it to capree

Lol, I forgot I even got that from you. I'm thinking it won't fit the 6g74. But ill try anyway. Thanks man.

[fatal1]

yea the pan fits the 74, in fact iirc thats the reason the stock manifolds etc dont fit, some of the guys who do a direct swap just switch over to the 72 pan

[keith6110]

Good to know! I was thinking the crank was too big for it or something lol. Thanks for the info. Guess I Don't need my weld on -10an fitting anymore lol.

[deeznutz]

Fact of the matter guys weather spec is a reliable clutch or not there's no way a stage 2 clutch is going to hold up to a boosted v6! Final answer!!!

[fatal1]

the stage 2 will hold a little over 300hp, its good for low boost not too much power builds but you will certainly need a stage 3 at least with your current plans....

[deeznutz]

^^^thats my point he's going to be putting down well over 300hp with this build. My spec stage2 was just fine on my 74 till I threw the 75 in and it took a hole 2 days for my 75 to tear thru it.

[djouw]

lookin good

[Isaurio]

^^^thats my point he's going to be putting down well over 300hp with this build. My spec stage2 was just fine on my 74 till I threw the 75 in and it took a hole 2 days for my 75 to tear thru it.

True i was there when that shit fucked up. We did a few pulls not even 100% tune. Just a base tune to get it started. Could not hold the raw power.

Keith- what year eclipse ecu are u using? And what year big map version? i belive the more stable one is the 01. Club 3g is having problems with other ones because they are a few noobs that dont know what they are doing and start chaging values like crazy.

[keith6110]

I'll be getting the spec stage 3 clutch. Tj's seemed to hold up fine to his 530whp.

I planned on running an 04 eclipse gts ecu.

I can't find any solid info on mafs and I'm not sure the 501 maf will be able to handle the 12psi I plan on pushing with this hx40.

So this gives me 2 options. The evo 399 maf or go with a speed density setup. For tuning purposes, I want to do a maf for now and maybe speed density later. I was able to tune my brothers car enough to get rid of the backfire based on the evoscan results. I was hoping to be able to do my car the same way.

I have a feeling I'm going to put this setup together and not get it to run right when in boost. I know, cross that bridge when we get there lol.

[Galantman03]

Speed density FTW!

[keith6110]

daamn... I have no idea what I'm doing for speed density tuning either. I'm only familiar to the maf tuning. This sucks.

[Galantman03]

Well I plan on using it just because with the new tephra mod it can adjust based on barometric pressure. But thats on the evo 8 ecu

[Isaurio]

Bro. Eclipse gts maf i think is 462 it flows same as the evo 399. 399 it flows a little more but not much. Thats is the way to go for your setup.

Not a good idea to use speed density right at the bad specially for breaking. Since you still going to change parts along the way with speed density you have to tune every time you change something on the engine. Go MAF then why is no more mod made go with SD

[keith6110]

Bad news, then some good news lol. I wish I was able to find the answers on my own, thanks for the help guys.

Eclipse gts maf is 482*

Thanks bro.

[Isaurio]

Yes 482. Thats it. Lol

[keith6110]

haha, google was pulling up a mitsubishi 462 maf.

We'll talk more at the meet up, hopefully it will clear up some of the questions I have.

[Rach3T8G]

Here's a little something to look forward to :icon_lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnV7Pl-ffOM&feature=player_embedded

[M-Rod]

^That's Justin's 3G that I was mentioning on the previous page. I rode in that thing last weekend and it was amazing, even on only 4psi :)

[Rach3T8G]

I've been following his build on C3G even though i don't post there anymore. Makes me want to go boost.

[keith6110]

That.... Is awesome! I guess someone else beat me to the hx40 on the sohc v6. I guess the only difference is I'm starting with 12psi lol. Maybe I'll contact him about his tune.

Makes me feel better though, nice post man.

[Isaurio]

Im going for 20 psi.

[Isaurio]

That.... Is awesome! I guess someone else beat me to the hx40 on the sohc v6. I guess the only difference is I'm starting with 12psi lol. Maybe I'll contact him about his tune.

Makes me feel better though, nice post man.

Start low for break in keith. 5 is good to start

[keith6110]

I forgot to bring my dslr to the garage, so cell pics will have to do for now lol.

Piston custom orders specifications
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z288/keith6110/My%20Galant%20V2/IMAG0410.jpg



If you can't see in the picture, I had gotten the 399 maf from an evo. Came with an hks adapter so I can use a 4in intake pipe lol.

The pistons are a 10:1 compression setup.
I was worried about the stock rod fitment for these piston pins. They fit perfect, I highly recommend the kit I ordered if you plan to build the 6g74. It came with all gaskets, MLS head gaskets, and engine bearings/freeze plugs.


I'm planning on giving the block a pretty aggressive hone to help with the piston clearance for when the pistons get hot and expand. From what I read, the cast pistons don't expand as much as forged pistons. If done incorrectly I guess it can cause engine damage. So this seems like a pretty important step when using stock bore pistons.

[Silvertune]

You shouldn't be touching that block by hand, it all needs to be done at a machine shop. It takes a very expensive machine to hone the cylinders to your specification (they will do it piston for piston, exactly) along with rehoning the rod journals for the ARP rod bolts (which is a guaranteed must) and rebalancing of the entire rotating assembly. There is much much more that goes into the building of the short block, it is not as easy as simply putting the pistons on the rods and running a ball in the cylinders. Technically you can go about it that way but your engine will not last long or perform very well.

really? i understand what you are saying but this summer alone i have rebuilt 2 6 bolt 4g63s that are now over 450 AWHP one with a PTE 6152 and the other with an FP3065 both over 28psi and daily beaten. the way you mention will yeild slightly better results, but i have seen machine shops mess up plenty, even the best shops. i do completely agree with having the mains cut and honed for the ARPs, but honing the cylinders yourself isnt bad with some ATF and a hone and as long as u dont touch the bearing surfaces by hand you should be ok. for my built 2.4 i honed the cylinders and decked it, u did have the crank polished and the mains cut at the shop tho

[Silvertune]

The 6g7 is not a 4g6, they make power very differently and different blocks take the machining differently. The 6g7 series motors are very sensitive to geometry and use a different alloy in the sleeves, they're put together with great factory quality and that it why they last for a long time but when you start messing with it they go south in a hurry. I myself have pulled apart a pair of 6g7's that were built with hand honed cylinders and drop in forged pistons that both ending up going up in smoke. You're dealing with 2 cylinder planes here, any amount you are off is going to cost you exponentially more.

Now, if the OP had the correct bore micrometer in hand I would have hesitated to say anything. I personlly don't believe in hand honing anything other then a daily motor you're reringing but with the right mindset and knowledge I also believe that to each his own. However, when going after large amounts of performance and spending lots of money to do it going about it properly is worth a whole lot more then the difference in price. The vibe I get here is an engine that goes from stock to built without leaving the garage and that just doesn't lead to success. The ARP mains don't typically tweak the girdle (though it's always a must to check) but the rods ALWAYS need resizing and while the pins may look like they fit the rods well they may need rebushing anyway.

I'm not calling anyone stupid but I've spent a lot of time and money in these motors and would like to see success for anyone else who chooses to do the same because contrary to popular believe there is a lot of payoff to be had.

[fatal1]

not to mention the surfaces mist be PERFECT in order to run the cometic MLS head gaskets otherwise there will be sealing issues causing hot spots and even leakage

[keith6110]

I rebuilt an excavator engine this way, but maybe its different in boost =/ what's a typical machining and balancing run? I assumed since the pistons are the only thing I'm replacing other than bolts, then the rods and crank is already balanced. What do I know lol, you're the pro.

[Galanttuner10]

not to mention the surfaces mist be PERFECT in order to run the cometic MLS head gaskets otherwise there will be sealing issues causing hot spots and even leakage

decked about 10 blocks with a cookie wheel and none have ever leaked, just have the heads done at the shop

[Galanttuner10]

if you want it all done, they will balance everything as an assembly. a good shop would probably be ballpark 700 with honing decking and cleaning, the align honing is very expensive, it was 250 for my block so maybe 1000 at a good reputable shop.

[keith6110]

Good reputable shop in starlight pa please! Lolz.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I only want to do this once and I'd hate to learn the hard way by making mistakes.

[Silvertune]

Chances are you won't have an issue with the mains (though there's always a chance...), I've had my hands in 2 built 74's and neither of the girdles tweaked with the ARPs but the rod will need to be resized guaranteed. Boring and honing at my shop was 150$, decking was something like 120$ for a minimal cut. You'll spend a grand or so on machinework if you get everything done right but it's seriously the best grand you will spend on the whole build. Take it from me, pro work is price; going into boost is a big enough adrenaline rush when you don't have to worry about your engine, let alone when you do and you're going to worry about it anyway.

Putting that engine together without balancing would spell death immediately, it would rip itself apart before it was done with break in. The factory balance job on the 74 is good for 6k on the stock internals, it spins rod bearings religiously at 7k. Change the mass of ANY crank, rod, bolt or counterweight by more then a few grams and it needs rebalancing again. That said, putting in aftermarket pistons without a rebalancing will literally eat your bearings.

Building motors IS an exact science, dimensions and parameters have to be perfect in the world of performance and it's not for the sake of gaining horsepower but for the ability to support it and for a long time. DSM guys can whine about doing it cheaply when the fact is most of those motors simply get by because they don't make much torque and can make a lot of power on stock components. You with your V6 can make a crap ton of power and torque or barely anything at all on the same shortblock but if it isn't built correctly neither level of output will make it down the block more then a few times. I am eyeing your parts list with contempt but I will now shut my mouth unless otherwise called upon.

[keith6110]

Hmm... It seems like if I were to dump a grand into machine work, then I might as well get Manley/Eagle rods and a new crank. Then it would be the best grand I'd ever spend lol.

[Corey2kG]

Geez! Reading all of this is awesome. Um yeah sorry for the random post but yeah good work Keith. Does it right the first time lol

[spdracr]

Keith if u r going that far then like u said just do it once. No sense in rushing it. If u decide to get the machine work done then save up for the pistons and rods as well. I wouldn't think it is necessary to get a new crank but I'm still new to this correct me if I'm wrong please.

As far as decking the block with a cookie wheel isn't really the way I would do it. Cleaning the surface before a new gasket is what I use a cookie wheel for but not decking.

If there is so much money going into this then a lil more won't hurt.

[keith6110]

Lol, let's just say this is becoming project 10k for just the power end of it. I think I need a 2nd job xD

I'll look around for some rods and see where I can send my block to. Like most of you know, I hate other people working on my shit. So having it even machined by someone makes me want to stare them down saying "don't fuck it up". The thing I've learned is: if you want it done right, than do it yourself. I'd like to keep it that way.

[spdracr]

Then buy the necessary machines and machine it all yourself lol

[keith6110]

lol! I contacted a guy that builds big block v8's for race cars about 3 hours from me. He's done a 455 for my dads car and a 350 for my brothers truck. Both running very strong now and these were done 3-4 years ago.

So I think I'll have him machine my block, balance the crank, and do the rods. Then cross my fingers for another successful block lol.

[fatal1]

you really dont need the crank....also, the 72 rods are plenty strong however, it isnt a bad idea at all to go and get some eagles etc....it will just further guarantee the life and performance of the engine. at this point its really just pennies on the dollar really.... not to mention if you decide to go bigger or whatever, you know the motor is capable.

[keith6110]

I don't need to balance the crank? I thought silvertune said definitely yes for this lol. I don't understand balancing the shortblock otherwise.

[Dominicano]

well i think once you attach new rods and pistons to the crank that's where you have to balance it

[fatal1]

sorry keith i meant to buy the eagle crank, you absolutely need to balance the crank.

[keith6110]

Chances are you won't have an issue with the mains (though there's always a chance...), I've had my hands in 2 built 74's and neither of the girdles tweaked with the ARPs but the rod will need to be resized guaranteed.



Rods resized for the ARP's?
I'm not sure what everyone usually orders for the build but I got all the ARP's for a 3000gt vr4 as I couldn't find anything for the sohc specific 6g74. They seem to be identical to the oem bolts.

[Silvertune]

The ARP block hardware is identical for all the 24v 6g7's, this includes the rod bolts, main studs and head studs. Now the first generation 3/s block came with 2 bolt mains as the 3g/galant did, 3sx sells a "custom" main stud kit for those who wish to build the 2 bolt motors. The second and third generation 3/s and every 6g74 and 6g75 came with 4 bolt mains.

When you torque the ARP rod bolts they stretch less then the factory rod bolts do and the rod cap deflects differently, it goes out of round. Under the stress of compression this oval will cause the bearing to contact the crank surface causing it to spin and if not it will work away at the surfaces until it does spin. The same thing can happen with the main girdle when you put the ARP's in it. The shop will machine the journals in the rods and girdle to perfect round with the ARPs.

Look at the crank shaft, see the big counter weights? The entire lower end is balanced as an ASSEMBLY. When the piston/rod go up and down the counterweights on the crank swing the opposite direction so that the force is equal and opposite (or in factory trim, close enough that the strength of the internals can withstand the deflecting force). This takes out vibration and makes the engine rotate smoothly. This balancing is sensitive down to a few grams. When an engine is out of balance there is a net force on the rod journals on the crankshaft. This force causes the bearing to sling down against the crank shaft, eating them up until they spin. When the engine is balanced it is 100% unique. Each piston/rod combo gets a single orientation on a single journal on the crank, switch them around and the balancing is gone unless the weight is perfectly matched between them, and it never is. That said, the shortblock is something the machineshop should build unless you are a pro builder yourself. By the time they've measured and machined and measured again, putting the internals together and torquing it all down is only a few more bucks and you get the warranty with it.

The cylinder bore is equally as sensitive. If the fitment is not the correct tightness the piston can twist and flex in the bore, this makes quick work on the honing and wears down the skirts. Any significant amount of play will destroy the rings very quickly, especially under boost circumstances. This was the fate of Bj's 3.6, I know this because he sold me the pistons out of that motor and the skirts were tapered beyond anything I've ever pulled out of a motor that hadn't blown.

If the bore is too tight when the piston expands under heat it creates a type of super friction. This was the fate of the two 6g72's I have torn apart that were built by Ripp Modifications with drop in pistons. The pistons expand beyond the bore and create a massive amount of friction that creates more heat, more expansion and more friction. It completely destroys the cylinder bores and eventually cracks the crown off the piston.

The same can happen if your rings aren't gapped properly, if they expand too much then you get the friction and the same destruction.


As for the integrity of the 74 internals, the crank has been a part of a few 4 digit 3000gt builds so a magnus forged crank would really be the worst thousand dollars you spent on the motor. The rods never hurt to upgrade but they don't ensure anything under detonation and the factory 74 rods are good for a properly tuned 500whp. The OP's parts list needs some intense reconsideration to hit that number. Peak numbers are not a good goal with these motors, they are not designed with that in mind and take more reengineering then it's worth to try to make them do it. What they are designed for is a broad power band and adding the displacement of the big blocks only extends that. If you do it right you can spin a big turbo quickly and still get it to breath up high and achieve more area under your torque and power curves then people with engines making hundreds more horsepower. THAT is why these cars move so well given even a moderate level of peak output.

[keith6110]

The intercooler I'm using is 3in wide and with the JDM bumper I am only left with 1.5 in of clearance. So to keep the same bumper without making major mods to its appearance, I had to turn to the extremes.



Don't mind the bug lol!

[1992Galant]

Looking good Keith . Can't wait to see it done

[keith6110]

Thanks guys!^^^ I'm hoping to have the IC and exhaust done next weekend.




Awesome work! Don't know if I wouldve had the guts to cut up my radiator support, I prob wouldve chopped up my bumper lol

Lol! I felt the same way. But I had to find the extra 1.5inches somewhere to move forward with the project and still keep the looks.

wow that looks awsome, great fab work and the whole idea to start with. it looks like you have the square tube ran all the way up to the frame rail, couldnt you remove that extra 2-3"s of rad. support that isnt doing anything to give you more IC room?.. or is the tubing actually welded to that.

the only thing i noticed, and it may just be the pic but the center support looks pretty close to the existing radiator which is fine but if you decide to upgrade to a thicker radiator later on you might not be able to just drop it in, you may have to move your lower mounting tabs back a little taking away space from other areas like in between the fan and turbo and things like that.

i know the v6 is a lil different from a 4cyl. setup interms of turbo systems so its probaly isnt an issue but if it is then you just have a little more figuring out to do later on.

but great work so far cant wait to see it done.

[keith6110]

Believe it or not. The Mishimoto aluminum evo 5 2-row radiator sits there perfect. The box steel center support does not go back far enough to go past the upper/lower radiator mounts. The picture it just a little deceiving lol.

[Isaurio]

Good job bro. I want more pics and progress. Lol. Yes a plus for the evo 567 mishimoto radiator. I got that with the dual fan shrouds. Win win.

[wetamup2k3g]

Well done there Keith, keep the progress coming!!

[keith6110]

Thanks to Brian for letting us know this fits perfect and clears jdm heads =)





Well done there Keith, keep the progress coming!!

Thanks man, I'll keep everyone updated as I keep going at it. I'm hoping it will be ready for mod, but there's no way to tell until I'm almost done.

[spdracr]

I like the idea and I basically plan on doing similar work so I won't have to hack into the JDM bumper.

No crash bar??

I haven't had one no. But I'm thinking about mocking one up now that it will go fast lol.

if you use the evo radiator youll have to reclocate the bottom pins but it shouldnt be a big deal for you since you have a welder on site.

[spdracr]

U should definitely mock one up man. I would never drive without one.

[IVORY_G]

U should definitely mock one up man. I would never drive without one.

x2, we saw what happened to Zobgel's car...

[Dominicano]

x2, we saw what happened to Zobgel's car...

and Cali car at 25 mph or less i think, messed up the steering IIRC.

[spdracr]

I meant to ask but forgot to. What did u exactly do to the crossmember?? Cut it and reweld it??

[keith6110]

I do plan on welding some more box metal up for crash support. If it weren't for the crash bumper on my old G, I don't know if the engine would have crushed my legs if the frame didn't take the shock.



I meant to ask but forgot to. What did u exactly do to the crossmember?? Cut it and reweld it??

Cut it out! Then welded in some box steel. It's so much stronger than the original metal.









Spent 5 hours mounting this. No Idea why it took so long other than aiming for perfection lol.

Super sexy with that intercooler.

I also forgot to ask why didn't u have the condenser in any of the previous pics?? Eliminating the AC??

[unclepaulie]

Please say you'll be getting black silicone?

[Stewi]

Keith everything looks great. I joked about removing the lower rad support a few years ago for some round tube but I really like the way you did it. FYI you can get a crash bar in there. Look for my older build thread, I have pics of how I cut mine. Some of you know I had a modified one in my old 8g that I got hit nearly head on at 40MPH and it held up like a champ. If I ever have to go to a 4" FMIC I will have to follow in your footsteps, because I have no bumper left to cut, LOL

[Isaurio]

^ so true. U will have to track the car without a bumper. Lol.

[keith6110]

This car never had AC since I redid it. So yes, but old news lol.




Please say you'll be getting black silicone?

For now, blue lol. Until I get some more down the road. I bought them because they were in a 10 pack on amazon. Same brand as the current ones for my cai so I know they will last.

Lol!! I didn't even know you had another g before your current. I'll have to check it out. I knew I was going to need to cut the bumper for the 3in FMIC, but I had no idea it was going to come so far out into the bumper that it would change the appearance of it.

Looking good thou wish I was there helping

[Exhaust power]

The pod lay out looks good. Funny how you have electrical tape as a band aid i do that my self and my non car friends always make fun of me for it!

[Blue8g]

The inside of your engine is all pretty and stuff.

The outside isn't. What's going on here.

Now you're going to make the outside not ugly since the inside is rad?

[99galantES]

Looks food get it all together and bring it to mod but I say you clean it up and throw on some black paint

[wetamup2k3g]

Damn dude! Fuck the nonsense, we got some serious builds going on here! Loving it!

Keith. I like dis. She's come a long way since we were scavenging CL for your replacement lol. Sniff sniff..... I'm so proud of you both lol. Hope she's up n running soon.

[Silvertune]

What's your plan for the injector clips and a resistor pack?

[keith6110]

Lol I know how hard it is to see it growing up Corey xD

Silvertune,
I'm using dsm clips and I wired in a 3000gt vr4 resistor pack.

[Corey2kG]

;p

[wetamup2k3g]

Looking good so far! I'm confident that you know what you're doing, just don't rush it homie.

[Stewi]

coming together nicely

[keith6110]

Thanks guys, I've got about 5 days until MOD, so I'm really hoping to wrap things up.

I have tuned a big maps patch with the GTS ecu (the auto to manual rewire was such a pain in the ass).
All my intercooler piping/setup welded
Exhaust manifolds welded up complete with wastegate piping
Fuel with an fittings, pump, regulator all setup
3in downpipe and full exhaust is welded
Mishimoto evo5 radiator is in with fans wired to original fan controller box
Intake piping with welded recirculating pipe is together
3kgt vr4 injector resistor pack is installed with each injector rewired
Each injector needed to be rewired with dsm injector wires, hopefully it's just a simple circuit and I have the wiring correct =/
Engine is completely torqued to spec and timed correctly

Still need to:
Weld the bov adapter to the intercooler piping near the TB
Push my "Tuned" big maps to the GTS ecu (already did a successful test write)
Tuck the wiring a bit more so it's functional and safe with the extra clutter from the turbo setup
Wire in my gauges so I can read wideband tables and monitor the engine
Find a belt that fits my ac delete (BJ's setup was too small, realized he has the 3sx pulley)
Buy another weld in o2 bung and weld it for the rear o2
Install oil pan and weld in 10an fitting (6g72 upper oil pan did not clear the crank =(
Run the an line for the oil feed
Make a bracket to hold the turbo up to prevent manifold cracking.

Pretty sure I only have another 20 man hours to do it all lol.

[Isaurio]

^ keep it up

[mrg7243]

did you start it

[keith6110]

For those who have not saw the build on GT:

Here's an update, still not running though =/ Going to finish the pinout this weekend and give it another go.


This is my new exhaust setup:

[keith6110]

Got it running finally, found that I was only running on 4 cylinders

7FGbk-8iuCw

Yes it flooded itself out lol.

No video after, but I had to change the disc within the distributor to the GTS eclipse one instead of using the 6g74 disc. Runs nice and smooth now, just have a problem with the TPS sensor reading 100% throttle when it is simply connected.

[Isaurio]

Nice. Dude. It sound like a helicopter.

A little rich on the AFR. Take a another video when is smooth.

[kolio]

Great job man!

[foxbrand]

nice job Kieth

yeah, when I had a misfire on #5, it sounded like this but with a slower tempo (still like a helicopter), but hey, your the first (to my knowledge) to have a turbo 3.5 liter in a Galant, this is great progress anyway

[Silvertune]

Hope you're planning an oil cooler.

[CHICAGO_ONE]

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n144/DOWER_ONE/carlton-dance-gif.gif

This is how your update makes me feel... Freakin' love this car

[Rach3T8G]

^ Lmaoo. Glad you finally got it running. Get another video up if you can.

[Galantman03]

Why no mandrel bent tubing at all?

[keith6110]

Lol!! Thanks guys. Love the Carlson gif.

There are some mandrel bends btw. The header setup and downpipe had some mandrel bends. The rest of the bends were just not what I needed to make it fit right.

Silvertune, I didn't install it yet but I do have a 6an 10 row oil cooler that I'm going to hook up and use.



I didn't even realize it but I had to TPS upside down. Comes up in evoscan fine and I happen to notice marks on the TB. This entire build is really stressing me out so I'm just overlooking things.
Anyway, I have fouled plugs now so I'll be doing that next and hopefully tune it from there.

XDp_lsKT8Ks

[Isaurio]

Good job bro. Not sure if is the mic of the phone. But why the rev sounds like that?

[Silvertune]

You have officially done the single worst thing you can do to a new motor next overheating it. If it's throwing black smoke you need to stop despite the novelty of having your engine running. Seriously, how can you actually put an engine together but not have read up on how to break it in?

Besides that, the lack of mandrel bends is going to give you enough back pressure to cause reversion. THERE IS SCIENCE INVOLVED holy eff. It doesn't matter how big your pipe diameter is, cutting angles like that and doing so in such great multitude is going to make your exhaust a resonance tunnel. Your EGT's will be legendary. I really hope you're planning on running E85 or better.

[mko]

I'd have gone with totally different route for the piping both cold and hot side, but as long as you're happy with it its all good. I hope you chose the shortest route for the oil drain line too and maybe fab up some heat shield for the filter

Looks awesome btw

Huh? My brother's gsx runs fine at 30psi and it ran pig rich just like mine is now when the motor was new? Is the 3.5l a glass engine? Also his exhaust is much the same and he's running pump 93. Should I redo both cars? Lol
Anyway, total running time on the engine is around 5 minutes. I've already changed the oil since it was running on 4 cylinders before when I was having problems with my spark.

I originally had it planned differently, but maybe I'll change it later.

[Galantman03]

Couldn't find a tight enough radius bend in the size you running? You could have always done the pie cut to make it tighter.

[foxbrand]

he can add them later

dude, it honestly sounds like your plugs are firing on the exhaust stroke to me, I had some weird ignition wire failure/error back in 09 and the car souned very much like that, although it wasn't smoking

what's the reading from your wideband anyway?

[mko]

I just watched the videos and i have a few suggestions.

- what injectors are you running? if you have bigger injectors how do you compensate for them.
- I'd assume you're using 74 crank trigger plate, right? IDK if it matters using 74 distributor with it.
- Double check timing marks, I hope you spun the engine by hand after installing the timing belt.
- What psi is your AFPR set to with the vac line crimped?
- Make sure the firing order at the distributor is correct.
- Make sure the injector plugs are at the correct spots and that you get +12V on all 6 outgoing wires of the resistor box.
- Connect the MAF to the throttle body, just for troubleshooting purposes, to eliminate any possible post MAS leaks causing rich conditions.

Mko,

I am running evo 560cc injectors. I have went into the rom and changed the cc's to 513 (Psiproformance had told me when we were getting my brothers car tuned that the injectors run much better at 500cc than they do when you put in 560cc)

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z288/keith6110/My%20Galant%20V2/KeithBigMapsInjector.jpg

On the left is the stock Big maps and on the right is my modified injector voltage and injector cc's. The injector voltage values were taken from a stock evo rom.

Correct I am using the 6g74 crank plate for the CPS. My distributor is now the 6g72 gts because I'm using the 6g72 cams.

I double checked, triple checked my timing marks. I have spun the engine around probably 50+ times lol, no joke. All marks are spot on.

I have my FPR set to 42 lbs. I think stock is even higher. With the Vac line crimped... I didn't even check.

I'll check the voltage coming out of the resistor pack. I assume they are 12v since the resistor pack is only supposed to change the ohm output. I'll also double check my injector grounds to make sure they are place correctly.

I'll move the maf if none of this is works out for me lol.



Thanks for chiming in, hopefully I can narrow down my problem here.

[Isaurio]

Did the ecu give you your fuel trims? Make sure you dont have to much timing on the maps from 5 to 40 load and 750 to 1000 rpm. What are your spark plugs gap?

[keith6110]

The ecu did not give me my fuel trims. Not even sure how I would accomplish that.

The timing maps are almost what the stock big maps had. I can probably change the values so they are not as advanced. I also put my MAF scaling changes in this picture. The original on the left and my values on the right (copied from an evo rom because I was originally using the evo 399 maf). I am now using the 482 MAF so I should probably change the values back.


http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z288/keith6110/My%20Galant%20V2/KeithBigMapsMafTiming.jpg

[mko]

Correct I am using the 6g74 crank plate for the CPS. My distributor is now the 6g72 gts because I'm using the 6g72 cams.

it shouldnt matter what cams you're using - I say give it a try and pop the 74 distributor in there and see what happens.



I have my FPR set to 42 lbs. I think stock is even higher. With the Vac line crimped... I didn't even check.


it should be 45-50 psi with the vac line crimped ( I usually use pliers to squeeze the line). When you let go of the line, the vacuum should pull it down to 40psi. Your fuel pressure right now proly sits at 35psi....way too low. It doesnt matter that its boosted now, the stock ECU still wants to see 45-50psi.


I'll check the voltage coming out of the resistor pack. I assume they are 12v since the resistor pack is only supposed to change the ohm output. I'll also double check my injector grounds to make sure they are place correctly.

Ok, injectors dont have grounds. One wire comes from the resistor pack which supplies constant +12V and the other wire is the control wire from the ECU. It goes 0V and 12V - zero volts open the injector and 12V close the injector.

ahh okay. I had thought the ecu "activates" the ground for each injector which would then give a reading of 0v.

I will try the crimping the vacuum line to see where the needle goes and see where it drops back down to and adjust accordingly.

Silvertune had given me advice to use the 6g72 distributor because of the way the key lines up with the cam. He had said the distributor would be off 60 degree's unless I used the 6g74 cams. Makes sense to me that I would have to use whichever distributor that was designed for whichever cam mark. I can try this if all else fails though.

he can add them later

dude, it honestly sounds like your plugs are firing on the exhaust stroke to me, I had some weird ignition wire failure/error back in 09 and the car souned very much like that, although it wasn't smoking

what's the reading from your wideband anyway?


My wideband sits in the 12's at idle. I haven't checked it since I fixed the TPS problem, so it could be different. I haven't been home since last Sunday so I would have to ask my brother to see what it says.

What was your fix for the firing on the exhaust stroke?

Did you disconnect the battery after making changes to the ROM. I dont think the ECU recognizes these 560cc.
