I am NOT going to spill anything in this thread

[mrg7243]

But I will reveal what has been going on.

So as most of you know I swapped out the motor this summer. I got to thinking that "hey I got a spare block now what the hell why not. I am going to build a bad bitch" And so it began.

The first things I ordered were main studs and a balance shaft delete kit. Had to start small

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0161.jpg

I dont have a picture of the main studs, but they look like a box of bolts.

Then money was tight so I didnt order anything for abit and just worked on dis-assembly.

Then a Black Friday deal came up on extremepsi(i love that site) got my rods for 307.49 shipped to my door. They are Manley H-beams with ARP rod studs.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/IMAG0437.jpg

Those sat around for abit while I just cleaned up the block.

I was waiting anxiously for my CD to come due. As soon as that came due I got to ordering pistons. They are Wiseco 10.5:1 1800hd, they are the big boy baddest of the bad pistons IMO. Paid 543 shipped

I have other parts on order but I wont tell till they get here. Also I will not tell you any further plans till they happen.

[oakrdrs187]

I has a feeling you gonna boost...

[mko]

Those pistons would do wonders at 15 psi

[mrg7243]

yeah expect slight drop in CR with sohc head

[Blue8g]

VTEC head amirite?

[mko]

Mi V EC head amirite?

Fixed!!

[Blue8g]

Nah, he upgrading to VTEC.

[mrg7243]

VTEC head amirite?

I was thinking a LS h22 VTAK head:finger:

[underated]

yeah expect slight drop in CR with sohc head

and slghtly more of a drop with the optima/sonata head


looks good so far... in for the excitement!

[oakrdrs187]

Perhaps Single cam vtec head, With an i-vtec sticker on the sides of the car.

You are!! hahha

[IVORY_G]

N/A record still needs to be set

Underated would be the man to talk to. He's the only one I know of that has built a badass NA 4G64 motor for the 8G platform before he went turbo.
Brandon what CR were you at? 10.5:1 or something?

[carl3g]

I like where this is going!

Nope just a stock galant one. Ehhhhhhhhhhh

[mrg7243]

Dropped the block and crank off at the machine shop sunday. Waiting right now. Crank is getting cut and magged, block is getting the main studs and then girdle cut. Along with hot tanked and getting magged.

This poster is at the machine shop I love it and want to find one!

[mrg7243]

Got this in today paid 87 shipped, also on the back table is a BHM conversion harness

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0703.jpg

Working on porting it this week, along with the harness install

[Galantman03]

Nice.. Info on harness?

[Isaurio]

Nice. What tb?

[djhah]

What mani is that? Is it the sonata?

[mrg7243]

Nice.. Info on harness?

Just the stocler conversion to the eclipse/evo ecu. Though probably the last one BHM makes


Nice. What tb?
Not sure yet probably just the v6 tb to start with


What mani is that? Is it the sonata?

Evo with all sensors

[Galantman03]

Why last one?

[IVORY_G]

Why last one?

X2?

[mrg7243]

When talking with Matt (spd_frk) he said alot has been happening recently and he cant be focusing his time on these nor the forums. So BHM is pretty much done.

[spdracr]

This sucks cuz I want one for my car. Maybe since he won't be producing those anymore he could make a tutorial for people to make them on their own. I would do it.

[Isaurio]

Yes, today i verified that. NO more harness. SPD_FRK is out of the game and drama.

[spdracr]

I need to get in touch with him and see if he's willing to teach us how to make those harnesses.

[Galantman03]

Its not that hard, just have to make sure you have the correct pins placement chart. I'm more curious where he got the female side connectors.I'll have to do some searching

[mrg7243]

He takes and disassembles the auto ecu for it

[underated]

ive got 4 auto ecus here and the pinout if somebody wants them. i can disasemble the female part if you guys want and send them out. i have no use for auto ecus.

[mrg7243]

Didnt you make your own harness?

[mrg7243]

All I am going to say is

http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/yea-fuck-yea.gif

At this point Bj(boostzealot) has helped me on this build sooo much I owe him alot.

Isn't the male side is the ecu and the female is the car side??

[mrg7243]

Other way around think about it male and female humanly. Male goes inside female

[underated]

yah i made my own pretty much. i depinned the auto harness of everything i didnt need and removed the wires. then put the m/t plugs on and re wrapped it.

[spdracr]

So u modified the car's harness instead of using a conversion harness??

[spdracr]

OP do u mind taking few close up pics showing the harness. I'm gonna attempt to make my own.

[mrg7243]

Yeah I can give me a bit.

[mrg7243]

I have the pictures but have been crazy lazy in uploading and making a thread. Also got some parts in

[underated]

yah there is no need for a conversion harness unless you ever want to go back to an auto ecu... take the 3g eclipe connectors off of a wrecked car, then one by one remove the pin from your auto harness connector and put it in the eclipse connector.

[Galantman03]

Isn't there a couple wires different in the 02 03 range?

[underated]

for the transmission yes im not sure about for engine functions.

[mrg7243]

Here are the parts that came in.

Fuel rail-evo paid $38

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/IMAG0735.jpg

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/IMAG0734.jpg

Clutch, I have heard good things about the 6 puck with the upgraded pressure plate. I will see how it is. paid $187

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/IMAG0732.jpg

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/IMAG0733.jpg

I will get a stock TOB

[mrg7243]

[spdracr]

Thanks for posting the album.

[OMEGA PHX]

Hey bro can you tell us more info on that clutch setup you got? Did you buy it from aimcoclutch on ebay? Whats like the general consensus about it?

Since you said you read good things about it with the HD PP, what about the other PP(the red one) complete garbage?

[mrg7243]

Since you said you read good things about it with the HD PP, what about the other PP(the red one) complete garbage?

I got the stage 4 6 puck with the HD PP, Yes I did buy it from aimclutch. Welp really couldn't say just looking at it in the box. The dsm guys rave about this cltuch and many have had great dealings with it.

From what read though its not the disc that goes its the pressure plate as the stage 1-3 uses a oem Pressure plate and at any bigger power levels over stock they were bending fingers. If you go onto DSM tuners there are tons of reviews and somewhere there is the information I said. I just cant find it.

[spdracr]

Is it a 3g clutch or a 2g??

[mrg7243]

It's a 2g but they are the same for both.

[spdracr]

That's what I though and I looked on the ASA and it showed 2 different part numbers.

Are u using it with the 2g flywheel or the 3g flywheel??

[mrg7243]

My guess is that the stock 2g is probably more heavy duty and resistant to power since it makes more power stock. I think most aftermarket 2g gs-t and 3g gs/rs clutches are the same.

I went with the 2g as it was cheaper than the 3g counterpart. Also I believe it is slightly lighter. I don't mind spacing out the starter.

[spdracr]

I wonder of we could use the 2g clutch with the 3g flywheel.

[mrg7243]

Should be able to

[OMEGA PHX]

I wonder of we could use the 2g clutch with the 3g flywheel.

When I was at my swap I think it was qnzmostwanted that told me that 2g and 3g clutches are the same, the only thing that matters and would require spacing the starter and longer flywheel bolts is if you go with the 2g stock or any 2g/3g aftermarket flywheel.

Any 3g flywheel stock or aftermarket don't need the starter to be spaced. Only the 2g does. I wanna compare the 2g and 3g clutches and make sure before I buy one.

[mrg7243]

I can let you know when I pull the motor.

[spdracr]

U have the 3g set up on your car now and u swapping it with the 2g set up??

[mrg7243]

U have the 3g set up on your car now and u swapping it with the 2g set up??

Correct stock 3g in car right now.

[spdracr]

Sweet then ill be waiting for comparison pics soon.

[mrg7243]

Hopefully within the next day or so depending on weather and my lazy ass lol

[QnzMostWanted]

i had a 3g flywheel with a 2g clutch, its all the same, just the prices are cheaper for the 2g oddly....i never had any issues with it, just make sure u use an OEM TOB

[spdracr]

Thanks for verifying that Denver.

[mrg7243]

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0761.jpg

Got the adjustable cam gears in. Also received the oil pump, the water pipe, and sanded the VC down for paint.

Lastly I dumped another $310 on machine work

[spdracr]

how much were those cam gears?? And what brand are they??

[mrg7243]

Not sure what brand there are no brand markings on them, but I bought them off evom for $65 shipped

[Isaurio]

Nice. Moving up.

[mrg7243]

Thanks

[mrg7243]

So time for another update.

First these are the best socket holders I have ever used. The sockets dont fall off like the looped metal ones. Really handy, plus they were on sale for 12.99

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0779.jpg

So I talked to the machinst got some info and viola a box came in.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0794.jpg

Inside this box was some pink shit and the stuff I ordered. Trans fluid, ACL tri-metal bearings, Supertech valve seals, and thrust bearings.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0796.jpg

This was a nice total of $204

But the info I got from my machinist was the bearing size, my crank is cut 10/10, meaning the first step up in bearing size being .25mm since we are metric yo!!

Then I yanked the motor, it fought me tooth and nail.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0786.jpg

It even fought back and it hurt like a sombitch too.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0788.jpg

And now for some coolio pictures of random shit

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0782.jpg

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMG_20120723_165846.jpg

[Isaurio]

Good shit

[mko]

it looks very similar. Its a joy and a pain, but its all worth it at the end. keep it up, I love seeing people building Galant engines. It makes me happy and Im sure it does the same for you.

Right now I love building this car but I am extremely pissed the machnist still hasnt touched the block, nor the head.

[Isaurio]

Wtf. I smell discount.

[xd_01]

who's doing your machine work?

[mrg7243]

Wtf. I smell discount.

Yeah I would hope his ass would.


who's doing your machine work?

The Machine Shop (that is the name of his business) It is a one man shop, and it is my buddys Dad who is the one man.

Anyways got parts in and painted the VC

Upper gasket set felpro of course

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0811.jpg

This is the same brand who makes the OEM one.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0812.jpg

And painted VC

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/mrg7243/Galant/IMAG0806.jpg

I cant decided wether to clear coat and leave it, or surface the letters and polish them. Then clear coat

[spdracr]

Polish then clear.

That bearing isn't OEM. I think I have the same exact one iirc and now it makes noise. I have to check.

[mrg7243]

nsk makes the OEM bearing. I have the screen shots from ASA and the manufactures to prove it. But there are 2 types a plastic inner or a metal inner

Started prepping the awd control arms for bushings and paint. Working on the rear subframe later tonight.

[wetamup2k3g]

Oh snap!

[boosting90]

subscribe!!!!!

just the thought of s monster allmotor awd:103:

i know it will be turbo. too much weight to pull N/A

nice setup love the compression

[SilentCool]

Nice work....waiting patiently for updates

[mrg7243]

Wont be all motor. Numbers I have crunched have put the compression ratio north of 11.0. So some work will need to be done to fix this, most likely shaving the pistons down. W-2 came in so hoping to buy coilovers within the month. Will be the first to have this brand adapted to the car. Fingers crossed.

[boosting90]

u still can run boost at tht compression. but is all about timing and rich tunning and low boost. people do get scare of high compression boost. yea i know is risky but is fun and response is increible. but really hoping u figure ur setup out and reach ur specs. dont keep us in the dark. lol

[mrg7243]

So I wrecked my audi now I need a car. So the plan is dump a ton of money into this project to get bare minimal dd status.

tht sucks. Hope wasnt to bad (accident) dang It i was hoping to have another high compression boost galant. Hopefully is not to far in the future tht u get back on build. But priorities are always more important.

Engine back stayin sliver?

[mrg7243]

Negative, but like I said I dont talk till its done.
Sent some suspension measurements out and hoping to send payment by the end of the week.

New core support and mishimoto evo 5 radiator. Since there is very little aftermarket support for this car I have to adapt other model parts to it. The evo 5 radiator top outlet is 8 inches to the left which places it closer to the inlet on the head.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7592/17216843605_0d141b40b9_k.jpg

But it can't be just a bolt in affair. Not sure whether I am having the pegs moved or making new mounts on the core support.

Porting out the head. Gasket matching the intake, smoothing the ports, removing the sharp lips near the valve seat, and all that jazz.

This is only the first pass with 80 grit.

i just saw this saying that you wanna get this to a dd status. what r the plans to make it run and what is your anticipated completion date ?

[mrg7243]

Basically keep plugging along buying tons of parts. Goal is running by June. Fully driving by July.

That UICP isn't going to fit. It's short since the distance between the tb and the IC on the evo is shorter.

I regret ever removing the sound deadening. haha. Looks like youre getting some work done though!

I know, going to have it modified I picked up the whole set for 230 shipped so I couldnt turn it down.


Jigz, I am putting deadening back in.

So this is the finish 90% of the parts in the bay will have.

Took a shot in the dark and bought a Evo RS master cylinder. Wasnt sure if it would fit and it does! This has 2 incorporated proportioning valves so it cleans up the bay, also more importantly it should have the proper balance for the brembos.

prothane sells the knuckle bushings separately in a set of two so u would need to order 3 sets to cover bot sides since we need 3 per side.

BC Extreme Low with swift spring upgrade, and shock inserts to match the swift. 12k Front, 10k Rear. Hoping to tune out a little bit of understeer.

[99galantES]

So with this set you wont have that issue where the shock almost hits the axle boot?

[spdracr]

I don't think this resolves that issue.

[mrg7243]

It will do to the extreme low struts being 25mm shorter. Giving me the same ride height with .5 inch more to go I believe.

I personally cant wait engine updates. (Since im have same block setup).

Maybe i missed it. But ur galant is for road/circuit racing or street car?

My biggest fear of this build is that all the time and effort I am putting in there will be something dirty or dingy looking on the car. Because of that I have spent the extra bit of effort cleaning up the head to a better than new finish. The head and all the attached parts will be finished like this. Then protected in ceramic pro.

No he used studs for the exhaust manifold.

ahhh I see what your saying now. You know what if the nuts look like bolt heads (which Ill be honest I thought they were) the studs may be to short if there torqued down in the pic ending in 010238

Yeap ported evo 8 10.5. Hoping for 350/350 which should be doable for now. Then change it up when I awd swap.

Couple reasons. First wanted to see if it would work, second they have a built in prop valve so I don't have to do the v6 it is the perfect bias for the brembos, third once I change some things up I can move the brake lines down the drivers side of the car making the firewall cleaner.

They aren't torqued down at all. I just ran the studs I'm and did the first couple threads. They will be fine once I set them in. Reason for studs over bolts is that I hate trying to align bolts. Easiest to slide it on a stud and run a nut down. Also I like the look of the copper nuts.

Just read updates on S/W, so had to come here and give props due to me not having an account there. Hope all goes as planned for you and h20i. Every vid I see of it makes me wanna go. Don't wanna get too off topic from your build, but is h20i just mainly cruising the strip and hitting lots or is there a show? I've always wanted go for the strip. Night life looks crazy.

Anyway, nicely done on the motor, paint, and other bits. Also the score on wheels.

h2o this year was pretty much rained out. But there are tons of meets everywhere and lots of stuff to see just parked. There is a show but no one ever goes. The car did not make it due to cracking my compressor housing. So I took a bit of a break from the car.

So a little incident happened. I had my friend pop the timing cover off to get a bolt that fell in there. He got the bolt out and I asked him to check around to make sure there was nothing else. Well he missed a nut which destroyed my timing on the first crank. Couple chunks and tears are all on the belt.

Current state of the interior. Getting a dash in the coming weeks so I can put my new headunit in. Exhaust, and random rattles gets real old to drive with.

But as of now I am broke, and going into my last semster. So all of the parts I have been hoarding will be going on in the next month. Hopefully with a wrap job.

Everything is looking sick, especially the mirrors! Out of curiosity and I hope I don't offend, but is your air filter a temporary thing? It's just that I've heard bad stories of those type coming apart, and the middle piece being sucked through. But yeah man keep up the good work, I'm digging the updates.

What middle piece are you talking about?? I've had the same style filter forever no problems.

Is he using the same exact brand filter?? I'm using the Aem and that's a great quality unit. No center piece like that junk in that link.

I mean I'm not sure. I should probably clarify not all open tops are probably a risk like aem, injen,k&n, etc. I think the centers of those are molded in. It's the usually the ebay types with the chrome look. Like I said I don't intend to ruffle any feathers, but I've been following a guys r32 build lately on youtube who had the chrome type at first. People in the comments recommended he switch, and by next video he said he did. He was just finishing his single turbo conversion too. I think they felt like I do about this build, you like the car and hate to see something minor potentially cause something major you know what I mean?

Like I said it could be something he knows already or trusts the filter enough not to worry.

[spdracr]

I get what u r saying. And I don't know what he's using.

[8thLS6]

yeah I actually might be wrong about some k&n. I forgot the original filter the guy with the r32 had was k&n from when he unboxed it in a past episode https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WFTi8j7HvKs ffwd to 4:55/6ish but I know they make better ones too. But yeah he switched to aem also.

[spdracr]

I see it. I have never paid attention to those. Maybe that's an old K&N design.

Thanks for the concern the filter is just a temporary unit. So no feathers ruffled here.

[8thLS6]

Cool and no problem at all

Shaved down the control arm bushing before class today. The prothane one has a 10mm IIRC bigger diameter than stock and obviously no grooves. It is intended for the later style control arms.

That's odd. I installed prothane bushings in my front lower control arms on Monday without mods. The rear kit is going in tomorrow and/or Friday. Who makes those front STI sway bar links? Will only the early STI generation links fit?
