Swimmerboy2112's Build Thread

[Swimmerboy2112]

Well here goes nothing...

Hey guys, my name's Brian, i'm 20, i fix welders and plasma cutters for a living, and i've had vehicle experience with everything from a custom turbo'd Hyundai Tiburon GT to a 450whp Camaro Z28 to a restored 1986 Toyota 4Runner.

I had been daily driving my 1986 4Runner (with 275K on it) and decided i wanted something that gets better mileage. Near my mom's house I saw a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant in a guys driveway and decided i'd go find out what he was asking.

It had 262K on it, it's a 4cyl, and wasn't in the best of shape. We cut a deal and $1000 lighter, she was mine.

At first, to the joy of my girlfriend I vowed that i wasn't going to modify it in any way.

Unfortunately for her, last week i found TGC, that night I bought a set of 17" Kosei K1 wheels...

The mod bug had bit me once again...

So here are my plans, laid out in a linear fashion so you guys can see what i plan on doing/what I have done.

First things first, the list!

1.1 Appearance

-Paint (bright red)
-JDM tail lights
-JDM head lights
-CF hood (painted to match body)
-New grille
-JDM front bumper
-Some sort of lip (maybe)

1.2 Suspension

-Kosei K1 17x7.5 (got em)
-Tein lowering springs
-Anti-sway bars (are there any for the Galant?)
-Strut bar(s)
-Hankook Ventus V2 Concept tires 225/45-17

1.3 Performance

-Turbo and all that goes with it (wether that be a kit or a custom job)
-Sonata 5spd swap
-Megan Racing Drift Spec exhaust (or ebay equivalent, i heard its the same)

That's all I can think of (for now)! Stay tuned guys!

[Swimmerboy2112]

Here is how the Galant sits now... sigh...

There are anti sway bars for the galant,there is addco and some others.I would use an eclipse transmission instead of the sonata.The sonata is still kind of an experiment.

Eclipse, hmm that will be even easier to find. I didn't know that the Sonata was still a project in the making. I need to do more homework.

Do you have a 4 cylinder or a v6?I am not sure if anyone used it on a 4 cylinder but i only know of one guy on here who has it on a v6.

Oops left that part out, that's pretty important lol it's the 4cyl

The 3g eclipse transmissions are a little easier to find.Did you decide if you are going to go with a 2g clutch set up or 3g?

[Swimmerboy2112]

The 3g eclipse transmissions are a little easier to find.Did you decide if you are going to go with a 2g clutch set up or 3g?

To be honest i haven't looked into it that far yet. What are the benefits of using one over the other?

[galantlvr34]

The 2g set up is lighter if you plan to use a stock flywheel,if you use this set up you will have to use a 2g manual starter.If you use the 3g the flywheel it is a little heavier but you would still need to change your starter to a 3g manual.So the lighter the flywheel the faster the engine will pick up.You could use a fidanza flywheel or act flywheel if you wanted to also.

Ah i see, i ran a Fidanza 9lb flywheel on my Tiburon, to be honest, i didn't like the way it felt, hard to shift smoothly at low RPM's. If it's going to be like that then i will go 3g, otherwise i'd go 2g.

[galantlvr34]

yeah the fidanzas are really light that is why,the stock ones arent like that.The weight difference isnt much between the two,it is whatever you decide both will work.

Alright, appreciate all the help.

Eclipse transmission is a straight swap and your best options . Im the only one running the sonata transmission and im done with experimenting.

Appreciate the help man, would you mind giving me a hand with the trans swap? I've never done one before and it'd be nice to have someone who's done it before helping. I can throw some cash your way, no problem.

No problem if we got all the right tools i can have that thing swap in less then 5 hours! lol probably going to the junk yard friday ill let you know if theres 5 speed parts to grab.

Wow that would be awesome! Let's plan to get this thing done ASAP!

[Exhaust power]

Might as well check out joes you pull it Its like a couple minutes from you. Finding a transmission intact at harrys is hard people pull them on the same day the arrive. Ill pm you

I was at Harry's yesterday there were a few second gen Eclipses there. I've been to Joe's once. I can get a trans from Hanas (they pull it for you) if worse comes to worse.

[Exhaust power]

Thats cool i was going to go to harrys today but got lazy after changing my rotors etc lol
Never heard of hannas but ive been to Deez and dnaples up in scranton
two junk yards with a u-pull it and they pull it.

Just toe correct some misinformation here. you CAN use the stock auto galant starter, thats what i have

[galantlvr34]

correct 2g starter with 2g flywheel, galant starter with 3g lywheel

[Blue8g]

Did the wheels come in yet? I need to add some more pics to my thread lol

[Swimmerboy2112]

Changed the front rotors and pads today and the wheels came in! Pics to come!!

Yum! Will be hawt.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Yes!! much better than hubcaps lol

[galantlvr34]

Yes!! much better than hubcaps lol

Hell yeah lol.What size tires are you going to run on the wheels?

My thoughts about turbo;

I'm debating wether or not I should piece the turbo stuff together or just try to find a kit. I know that piecing stuff together allows you to customize exactly what you want. But it's often a challenge getting the necessary piping and other parts. What do you guys think? Are there even kits available? Should I get a basic kit and swap parts at my liberty?

Thanks guys

[Blue8g]

I forget, is your car a six or an i4?

[galantlvr34]

I forget, is your car a six or an i4?

His car is a 4 cylinder.

[Blue8g]

He can use a good bit of DSM or EVO VIII/IX stuff iirc

[Swimmerboy2112]

He can use a good bit of DSM or EVO VIII/IX stuff iirc

That's what i figured since they use the 4G64 motor

[galantlvr34]

what about something like this?

[Swimmerboy2112]

Yeah i saw stuff like that and that's what prompted me to post asking about the turbo stuff.

[galantlvr34]

Yeah i saw stuff like that and that's what prompted me to post asking about the turbo stuff.

Yeah thats a pretty good price i am just not sure if it would work on an 8g.I have a 7g so some stuff i am not to sure about for the 8g.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Yeah if anyone wants to chime in about the turbo stuff fitting on an 8G feel free lol

[Swimmerboy2112]

Just noticed it's for the 4G63 not the 4G64 not sure about compatibility?

[galantlvr34]

Just noticed it's for the 4G63 not the 4G64 not sure about compatibility?

4g63 and 4g64 are basically the same thing just the displacement is different.

[Swimmerboy2112]

4g63 and 4g64 are basically the same thing just the displacement is different.

I didn't know that lol, so the flange is the same?

[galantlvr34]

I didn't know that lol, so the flange is the same?

Are you talking about for the exhaust?

[Swimmerboy2112]

Are you talking about for the exhaust?

Yeah, well... in this case the turbo manifold.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Will this fit my Galant? God i need to do some more research lol

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/pts/2411850567.html

[OMEGA PHX]

Do a search for turbo and go to club3g.com create a account and research there the majority of the info on turbo is there. You can use dsm exhaust manifold, evo 8/9 aftermarket exhaust manifolds with 2 1/2 inch spacers, or go custom

[Galantman03]

I have a dsm manifold fits ok.... lol the only issue is the o2 housing, the o2 sensor is like a finger width away from a/c compressor so yea.... There are no kits. evo 8 ICP fits, I am using that, but the LICP will need to be modified no matter what. as far as the intercooler itself... I'm using an evo 8, BUT i removed my front crash bar. As far as exhaust, you will have to have a custom down pipe made.

I might just use the DSM manifold then, it will be easy to find and as long as the 02 sensor stays away from rubbing on the A/C compressor then i'm happy.

As far as ICP, i assume you mean the injection control pressure sensor? What do you mean by LICP?

I'm not worried about the intercooler, that will be easy enough to grab. Same goes for the down pipe, i have a friend who owes me a favor.

The ICP is intercooler pipe and LICP is lower intercooler pipe.

[Swimmerboy2112]

That makes more sense now lol.

[galantlvr34]

That makes more sense now lol.

lol did you decide on what turbo you are going to use?There is a 14b,small 16g,big 16g,and a 20g

[Swimmerboy2112]

lol did you decide on what turbo you are going to use?There is a 14b,small 16g,big 16g,and a 20g

No, i haven't gotten that far yet, i am going to try and compile a list of stuff i need first then move on to the specifics. I'll take any help i can get with compiling that list lol

[Galantman03]

^ I think starting out, getting a stock evo 8 turbo set up would work. you can find them at evom pretty decent. Just a heads up though for a turbo, your going to need...
New injectors
Bigger Fuel rail
255lph fuel pump(for an evo 8)

and then alot of other stuff lol
but Ill let you find the rest :)

Appreciate the help, i'm going back over through my Tiburon notes and seeing what all i used for that turbo build.

[Galantman03]

most of the stuff is going to be different... example
You can either use evo 8 injectors or wrx injectors.
Evo 8 injectors need a resistor box to work because they are low impedance.
I used blue wrx injectors rated to 565cc, plug and play because they are HIGH impedance BUT on stock ecu they flood the engine out at 4000 rpm

How did you get past the flooding issue? Reflashed ECU? Or a tuner like the GReddy E-Manage?

[Galantman03]

LOL haven't yet.... I'm using an evo 8 ecu, and made my own harness to connect it to our harness but... The car will not start at all, I think the pinout is wrong like 2 or 3 pins mixed up... idk for sure. But yes, I will reflash the evo ecu to stop the flooding issue hopfully in the next week we will figure out the harness issue...

That's not good... You might have been better off getting a standalone although it's considerably more expensive

[Galantman03]

nah Ill figure it out sooner or later.... hopefully SOONER than later, but if its later I got 7 months to think about it lol

[Swimmerboy2112]

nah Ill figure it out sooner or later.... hopefully SOONER than later, but if its later I got 7 months to think about it lol

That's like me, i have PLENTY of time to have the Galant down, i have a second vehicle I can rely on.

[Galantman03]

This is me daily driver. Its just getting stored while I'm gone

[Swimmerboy2112]

I hated only having 1 vehicle, you're stuck if it breaks down.

[Galantman03]

Roxie has never broken down on me yet, but thats because I take care of her lol

[Swimmerboy2112]

That's good lol

[Swimmerboy2112]

Picked up the good ol Haynes manual yesterday. Gonna change my plugs and wires later today.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Got plugs and wires changed, thermostat changed, battery tray cleaned up, battery terminals cleaned up, fixed fog lights (although when i got back home the pass side isn't working again), and removed the license plate holder from the front bumper, (no front plate in PA)

[Swimmerboy2112]

Here's me changing the thermostat lol

They're getting powdercoated!!

[Swimmerboy2112]

JDM grille came in yesterday, and i ordered my JDM headlights so i can fit everything lol.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Hit up the junkyard over the weekend looking for a few things, I found the following;

-Turn signal and windshield wiper levers (my wiper lever is broken, needed a new one and didn't feel like paying $43 at the stealership)
-Cruise control (why not, I only paid $1 and it was already pulled from the car hah i just had to unscrew it from the wheel)
-Spare valve cover (to powdercoat)
-Fuel door (the hinge on mine is broken)
I was also looking for a 5 spd trans (which i did find from a 7G galant but if i'm not mistaken, it won't work because the trans is on the opposite side from the 8G, right?) Also no luck finding a V6 throttle body or Outlander intake manifold... oh well

P.S. pulled the mirrors off a 97' Honda Accord for the mirror swap but when i held them up to the mirror spot on one of the junked 8G's they didn't appear to fit at all... the curvature that the 8G mirrors have wasn't there on the Accord mirrors so I didn't take em...

[Swimmerboy2112]

Got my Evo steering wheel on the way!!


Come on people! COMMENT!

[Blue8g]

Needs moar tyre!

So excited for the wheels, also nice choice on the EVO wheel, but I would've just gotten a Nardi or Personal wheel :fap:

Ahh the tires will be a few weeks at the very least to come in :( There are none in stock right now...

As for the "Evo" wheel, you'll have to pardon that, I meant to say Momo wheel. Getting Zobgel's old one! :orangebiggrin:

[Blue8g]

Still has airbag, thus not quite as epic

That it does, BUT! It will be beneficial in case my head decides it wants to smash through the windshield in an accident.

[Blue8g]

Truth.

Truth.

Hope that never happens though.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Snagged a passenger fender in my color to replace the smashed one that is currently on there, also grabbed 2 V6 throttle bodies.

Doesn't fit huh? Fascinating....

I'm just curious on how you're going to fit jdm heads/grille without modifying to fit. Just saying.

[Swimmerboy2112]

I'm just curious on how you're going to fit jdm heads/grille without modifying to fit. Just saying.

I was talking about the contour of the mirrors, I know you have to drill to get the studs to line up.

And yes i have already started the cutting necessary for the JDM stuff.

[oakrdrs187]

Pete didn't you say the mirrors were supposed to be from 98-02 accord?

[Exhaust power]

Lets see some pics! hope you get that idle fixed.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Pete didn't you say the mirrors were supposed to be from 98-02 accord?

The DIY says 94'-97' and the ones I pulled were off a car made in 97' so i wasn't sure if it was a 97' model year or a 98'


Lets see some pics! hope you get that idle fixed.

I'll take some today, I seemed to have it got it driveable now.

[Swimmerboy2112]

Here are a few items I got at the junkyard!

Gauge cluster, not sure what the overlay is? Anyone know?

[Exhaust power]

Did you get the gauges from harrys?

[wetamup2k3g]

That looks like a real CF overlay similar to what Prophet was selling a couple months back. Nice find!

Yeah i know its carbon fiber but the gauges themselves are different.
I'm not 100% sure what the big turbo is but it's made by Schweitzer.


Did you get the gauges from harrys?

Yeah i got lucky lol

[beam514]

the gauges would be the AC Technic inverted (or whatever it's called gauges) from YEARS ago. Hell I can't even remember the exact name of the brand, but they don't make those anymore. Some Ebay brands have pretty much come out with the same product though. These gauges were the first available gauges of this type for the Galant I believe, and I know the OG's had something to do with getting the product made.

[Swimmerboy2112]

I could NEVER run that massive turbo on the Galant haha I just couldn't pass it up because the price was right.

Wow that's pretty interesting. Guess I'm even luckier than I thought to grab it then!

yeah they were all gone! :( I need to find a trans SOON!

[IVORY_G]

Those gauges are AC AutoTechnic S7 Gauges. I have a set also that I bought in '07-08. I have a feeling those gauges mightve came off of a TGC members/lurkers car. Because they cleared the needles too, which is something that was popular for alot of the members on here. (We have a tutorial on it as well.)

Thanks for providing the name, i was curious lol. It definitely could have been a member from here although I do believe that the car they came out of was otherwise 100% stock.

Do you have any pics of yours at night?

Compound setup man...Do it. A guy on the Fit forums could probably give you some advice. He knows his DSM's.

What do you mean compound?

In a sense.

From the guy on Fitfreak:

Where on the exhaust side the small turbo gets fed first and then the wastegate and turbine discharge are both routed into the big turbo and then to the tail pipe. And on the intake side the big turbo is feeding into the small turbo.

This produces insane spool and torque with huge top end. It's also incredibly efficient. So the small turbo will be in the traditional position on the back of the block by the firewall, and the big turbo will be mounted in the factory battery location over the transmission.

For reference on the turbos I am discussing the 14B (35lbs/min max or ~320whp) is considerably bigger then the GT25R (28lbs/min or 240whp) 90% of the turbo fit's on this forum are running. I am considering running a 14B and an HX35.

Hope that explains it...I know I can't even dream of explaining it lol
