Scott's Galant bout time i made one of these

[reiketsutsukigami]

mmkay so sadly i don't have many in progress pics but ill dig up the ones i have soon for now ill just do a quick runthrough of what I've done, what i want to do and what I'm currently doing.

Got the G back in 2009 right as I moved to mass. did the first few things everyone does CAI, coilovers, subs, headunit, roof mount tv,.......underbody neons, 17" excel rims, and a few other small mods. But there just wasn't enough get up and go in this car for me so i started researching what i could do and how...and luckily have a family garage that does aftermarket performance on cars.
so the next step was to turbo it spent about 3months gathering parts while busting my ass at work. and in january of 2010 started the project took me approx 1-1/2 weeks to finish turboing it then another week to get it right. But it just wasn't enough and i had issues cause i didn't use any engine management and stock ecu+boost=epic fail. so summer 2010d while patrolling the j/y i found a 99 4cyl sonata with a missing valve cover and the head full of water......jackpot....got the head and i/m w/ tb and everything for 100$ even cleaned up the head checked for leaks nothing. just win. so i started putting it on. then when i attempted to use the sonata coilpacks with my ecu my ecu got fried. went to the j/y pulled another galant ecu and what do you know that ones fried already. So fed up i bought an evo8 ecu and started wiring it...couldn't afford boomslang.
finally finish setting it up dual ecu style and lookit that it works i actually got the frikin wiring right i was amazed. Then when i was adding knock sensor and a few other thing a couple pin on the stock ecu got pulled out and now my shifting is starting to go all crazy on me and my maf dies. Picked up a evo 8 maf for 50$ another good deal that fixed half my problems but still shifted like crap not to mention the auto just cant handle the boost i was putting down so it was time for 5-speed, so late 2010 picked up a tranny for keith on tgc with multiple swap parts grab the other few things i needed and got started on that swap took me about 10days to do this swap because of some complications and doing it outside in the freezing rain but finished it and the car was back up and running this time with minimal problems...but about a month later and considerable amounts of boost i started to notice some major oil burning going on whenever i cold started my car damnit.
so i started buying up parts to rebuild the head. pulled it early 2011 fully rebuilt it with all new stuff and studs and put it back on the car...and lookit that burning just as much oil as ever...piston rings *facepalms*. so i took a short break from trying to fix the engine. bought a cyber gt body kit and some new rims about 2weeks ago.

this is how im recirculating my bov for now still looking for a better way to do it.

[reiketsutsukigami]

if you notice those wheel gaps, yea im getting much bigger rims very soon just waitin on tires.

[Boosted]

Yes, please change the wheels. Other than that, nice whip.

[reiketsutsukigami]

thnx i went a lot more go>show starting to hit up the show now though.

[Gtorque]

Great progress man!!

[4g64turbo]

Got any new pics in color?

[mko]

why are you running 100 psi fuel pressure?

[reiketsutsukigami]

i did some injector calculations at rc engineering and it bumped the cc's up not sure if it really works but it seems like it does. oh yea and i got the new rims and tires new clutch and lightweight flywheel all installed and done still working on the custom exhaust and just about done welding all the intercooler piping now just an update on what ive done lately lol.

[reiketsutsukigami]

ill go take some color pics tmrw got a new phone so i might as well test it out droid ftw

[mko]

this is a little trick used on cars with pressure sensor( hondas). We have MAFs and the AFRs are alternated from the airflow signal.

[reiketsutsukigami]

mm oh well i already had it turned back down a while back i didnt like having the psi that high. thanks for the info though helps to know this stuff.

straight side shot of the new rims their pretty dirty from sittin but they still look nice.

[midnight]

looking sexy scott :biggrin:

[IVORY_G]

Nice work, alot of progress; but rims dont do the car justice. Im assuming you want to go fast since you have a turbo, but those chrome rims are really slowing you down...

[Corey2kG]

No Scott!!!! The original rims you had look better... I have a set of 17's you can have like just take them no charge just need to get them powdercoated. Text me

[keith6110]

sweet pics man, you've got a lot of toys behind your car lol

[Blue8g]

Both wheels are god awful lol

[reiketsutsukigami]

sweet pics man, you've got a lot of toys behind your car lol

lol u dont know the half of it XD just around my car is 3 jet skis a yz80 3 blasters a mini chopper a 929rr a yamaha 600 an 04 escalade a ktm 50 couple 110 dirt bikes and a few other toys i gotta work around all that crap to make any progress drives me nuts. and man everyones hating on the chrome rims ouch.

[Blue8g]

Its not hate. Its fact.

[reiketsutsukigami]

damn if tgcs wheel man says so >.> i still kinda like em though.

[4g64turbo]

Stupid question, do you still have a/c?

[IVORY_G]

Chrome rims and bodykits together are played out. Thats the Ricer / Fast & Furious look (i.e. TYC Tails, Neon Glow kits, etc) It was cool about 7-10 years ago... No offense.

[reiketsutsukigami]

Stupid question, do you still have a/c?

yea havent gotten rid of my ac its still dd at this point so comfort is important.

[midnight]

just get a jdm front and it would look great :thumb:

[Galantman03]

FROM ME! lol new style that is

[99 galant]

do you still need that center console?

nice work so far, keep it up

[reiketsutsukigami]

not so much i just used a diff screw with newer teeth and it worked fine sry.

[99 galant]

no worries, glad something worked for you

[2002BlackDragon]

Hey man, just kinda wanted to throw this out there so that you dont think everyone on here is hating on you. There are alot of "strong" opinions on the site, and most will tell you that they dont like your car and tell you what it is you should do. But remember that it is your car in the end and you got to do what makes you happy and what is your taste. IO think your doing an awsome job and keep up the good work.

And just to play the bad guy roll for a minute.... if you wanted to argue about the kit being played out and the jdm not, look at all the people that have jdm bumpers and heads and tails. Im just saying. Personally, im going down both routes. JDM and USDM.

Gotta do what you like and take the opinions just as that, thier opinion.

[Corey2kG]

Look at all the people that have jdm bumpers and heads and tails. Im just saying. Personally, I'm going down both routes. JDM and USDM.



Usdm,Jdm FTW!!!! lol

[2002BlackDragon]

Im not trying to step on any toes, but some of the people on here get a little pushy with thier opinions. Its cool to voice them, but no reason to bring people down cause thier vision is differ. So no hard feelings to anyone. Just keep it up.

[reiketsutsukigami]

lols im not worried about it black i dont have any intention of going jdm with this build my dd galant will be all jdm but this ones getting the aftermarket special XD.
