Well my galant finally ended up with a broken intake manifold, right behind the throttle body it broke clean off.
So now im in the process of either seeing if my buddy (who is I suppose some world class welder? Idk.) Can fix my intake manifold or I'll just have to buy a new one.
Yes I know of the outlander intake swap I mean who doesn't given 2 seconds of research. But I'm not doing it.
Something has me thinking. I was reading 2g modifications to the 4g64 and apparently because of which way the engine faces the g63 exhaust manifold actually bolts right on for better breathing than the stock g64s. Which got me looking deeper into engine specs and what I've found was the g64 compared to the g63 is the g64 is high tq lower hp and vice versa for the g63. Kinda like the difference between a 4g93 and a 4g94. Seeing how the 4g64 has some spare tq numbers to lose Its got me dabbling into the idea of custom making my intake manifold. cutting the g64s flange off and welding it to the g63 intake manifold so it'll all bolt up. The g63 intake manifold has shorter runners which explains why the lower tq and higher hp so why couldn't I do the same?
He's a good friend so non of this would cost me anything but a new manifold which I'd have to pull from a yard anyways and while the manifold is off which ever I should choose to use I could get some port work in anyways.
