thats a magnaflow muffler right? 3"?
yea magnaflow with a 4" tip. we put my brian and crower sticker up there just for the hell of it.
It says "Keep your exhaust smelling fresh"
haha funny sticker! is it 3" from turbo back? good god 4" tip
i like the muffler itll look nice tucked up in there
yea she is hanging cause the down pipe is off and the mounting bracked that i had on there broke. Well my welds where good but it ripped the steel on top so i have to weld it back on or come up with a better mounting system. Sounded really nice on the N/A i wonder how it will sound with the new motor.
Like a beast that's how! You're gonna hear the turbo for sure at idle. Like it has asthma. :)
haha cant wait to show you guys what ive planed out. I hate this car its never going to end cause i keep coming up with ideas.
The only one to blame here is yourself .... ;)
i got to figure out what i want to blow my tax return on, rims and tires, coil overs, or paint?
do coilovers!!!
i could possibly do all three depending on how much i get back this year.
You can buy yourself a nice corded light.. The one youre using now has to be a bitch to use.. I couldnt tell u how many bulbs i blew in the one i had within the first 2 hours. Then i broke down and bought me a nice one from walley world..
i have three corded ones lol. My galant lights the fuck up
U need a tube light man..... Those ones are bullshit and get too damn hot for me haha.
i got a tube light its florecent haha.
so i did some things yesterday but its hard to take pictures of what we did. i have a few that its hard to see. so i will explain it. In the throttle body from the galant there are a lot of obstructions with raised holes and sharp corners so we used a dremal tool to smooth it out, then while we had the butterfly out i cleaned it up and polished it, used two different bits and put a sharp edge all the way around it to help the air flow past the butterfly easier, because it wont be hitting a flat edge. On the intake manifold we matched the throttle body hole to the throttle body so the air wont have a lip to hit and mess with air flow. On the runners for the intake mani they are smaller then on the head so we opened them up to match the gasket like the guy who did my head work did on my intake and exhaust side. Ill get better pics of the work but that's what i worked on to make the air flow a little better to the engine.
yea buddy
10.5 to 1 compression ratio galant, with out spark plugs in the car I turned it over and forgot that there was duct tape over the plug wells, pop pop pop pop later they are floating in the air. MOTHER FUCKER MAKES COMPRESSION LIKE CRAZY
Get it running!!!!!
i has no money to make it run.
Let's see how much we can get done today
10.5:1 compression that's more than a lot of NA engines!! LOL
Yea.. Why are you running 10.5:1 compression?
Just means he has to run lower boost to make the same power a higher boosted/lower comp motor and watch tuning a lot more closely.
Or if you can get ethanol that would be a great choice as well
i can get 105 from my cousin too he sell race gas. i got sources lol,
Something smell like a track car.!!!
Isn't an expensive option??? 105oct????
would running a thicker head gasket lower your comp.
yea it would lower compression but i dont want to do that anyways i want to run a high compression turbo motor cause if i have a turbo pipe pop off i can drive home lol. No this isnt going to be a track car im just trying out different things that most people wont attempt, I have confidence in my engine and my build to run it like that and make good power doing it.
my plans for next winter will make brix be shat!
finished up playing around with shaving my throttle body here are some pics of the work.

Not trying to tell you bud and I haven't read the whole thread, but if you run that high of compression you will blow it up!!! Look at the GTS 3Gs. they run 10:1 compression and hate all SDS and Turbo set ups. Case and Point.... Crow and Ron (duhh001). Get that fucker down to 8:1. ;)
I believe those were 8g's which could be a little different.... I've been reading up on something like this and this fella dosen't look to have had a problem...

It seems if he tunes it correctly and uses the appropriate fuel it will be ok...
Like Seth said I can run high compression and lower boost and make the same power. Im currently looking into somethings to make it work right and e85 is becoming an option, just have to look at some flow chats and figure out how much fuel i will need. So this may turn into me running two 255 walbro fuel pumps on 1200 cc injectors, which would allow me to run e85.
105 octane is also an option but much more expensive in the long run, and i will not be able to drive the car on long trips because no one sells that high of octane, and since e85 is cheap its a good option I just need to educate myself on whats needed to run it.
10.5:1 compression ratio isn't a really high number for a boost application you will start running into more problems when you are reaching 12:1 or higher is where i see people running into a lot of problems with knocking.

and this may be my other option just looking up the positives and negatives of both and deciding from there.
there are a few ea5 stations by my house. but those are the options that im going through.
tuning has to be more on point with higher compression, it should hold
