1G 60mm TB Swap Success!!
Man, it has been a while since I have posted on here. Been too busy with college and work.
Anyway, now that I have more time, I did some research and did the 52 mm(2G) to 60 mm (1G) TB swap and I am very pleased with the results. If you buy a TB from a 1G, get the one that is nonturbo so that the Galant's black elbow will mate right up to it. Car has a lot more "pick up" to it and accelerates harder at higher RPMs while still being swift on the lower RPMs.
Everything bolted right up to the Galant but I had to reuse my Galants TPS and IAC on the 1G TB. I also had to buy the gasket TB to intake manifold gasket for the 1G and some RTV sealer so that I could "fill" in half of the coolant channel on the IAC(this prevents it from leaking in to the engine). I also cut some thin strips of metal to help support this "filled in" part to make sure I have no leaks.
Anyway, this is a great mod and takes about 2 hours to do. The only lengthy parts are letting the RTV dry(overnight) and porting out the intake manifold to 60mm(which I still need to finish, I only did part of it).
