1k for the AWD, another 1k for power adding parts and another 1k for me new car
brand new turbo setup capable of 500+ and some other goodies, i cant wait for October to come
brackets( carrier bearing) are there, just not in the picture. the driveshaft is from an Eclipse
Nice!Is that a 60 trim turbo?
DAMNIT! You stole my Holset ideai..... LOL Looks good
dude i would just find a good welder locally and have them weld that flange adaptor to the manifold. 2 bolt gaskets blow out and leak like its going out of style.
I tried copper, stainless, oem tial gaskets, stainless with copper spray, no copper spray, just copper rtv, tried it all. They would all leak, or the two bolts would back out, or the bolts would snap. tried different bolts, new oem, stainless, hardened, etc etc.
Solid copper was by far the best. Also the head flange on that manifold is thicker then stock, so I'd recommended new OEM studs, oem copper locknuts, and oem spring washers. Because its going to stress the studs more than stock. Also don't waste your time with stainless it will snap after a day or two of driving, has to be heat treated oem to last. New OEM turbo bolts and spring washers too.
Lol sorry to ramble, I just has such a bitch of a time with that manifold when I had one. This setup should be a blast though. Enjoy.
Very Nice MKO, My brother picked up a H1C for his GS not too long ago... Can't wait to see what else you have in store.
looking good. how's the logging coming along?
HX40? I always wanted one, they sound so cool! What hotside are you going to run on it?
Its a BEP bolt on hotside.
Thanks guys. I'll keep in mind your advice John

I found out that my curved control arms have bad ball joints after just 3 1/2 years. WTF??!! I need to buy new ones again!
Im having some 4Loko and relaxin cuz it has been a very loooong day for me.
Someone here will get my old 5 lug spindles, Drilled and slotted rotors and 2 piston calipers with pads for FREE. Yeah someone who dont even answer my calls and I havent talked to in like 5+ months, someone I call a friend.
Yeah, Im that nice!
Where are you going to get the curved control arms from?I have to do the same thing on mine.
JNZ sells tham for 260 each.....no and no. Ebay I guess, or if I see some good ones at the yard
Did you ever use the ones from ebay?I got one from ebay i dont know how good it will be though.
yes i did. thay are exactly good for 3 years. lol. But i put 10k a year on them
Ok so they arent to bad then.The price of them isnt that bad at all compared to what the dealer wants.Quote:

^^Looks like the way the 7G knuckles are made just have them sitting at an angle like that.
i thought they used jdm 8g knuckles
Brembos FTW !
Brembos look beautiful tucked in there.
Yeah, I think US 7G and JDM 8G use the same front suspension, the JDM 8G strut tower brace fits the US 7G, so I know I'm at least halfway right on that.Quote:

So the JDM ones are different than the US ones then. Didn't know, I thought they'd be the same.Quote:

Gotcha. Thanks for the info bro!
8g World spec Galants (JDM/EDM) have very identical chassis. Majority of the suspension is compatible with the UDSM 7g's, but the USDM 8g is different from the world spec 8g Galants, mostly with the front suspension.
JDM/EDM 8g Galants use multilink front suspension while the USDM use a mcpherson strut setup.
The JDM/EDM 8g Galants/Legnums that have the front knuckles that are compatible for the Brembo upgrade for USDM 7gs are the VR4, Super VR4, Viento (V6 models), some GDI models and higher end 8g Galant Diesel models in certain EDM markets.
I think I paid like 150shipped or something for my JDM 8g knuckles. Got them from a member in Austrailia though, not Japan.
What master cylinder are you running?
I need to pull my brownbo's when I garage the GS this winter and have them powdercoated. Yours look great.
i thought it was only on late model vr-4's that the knuckles have the proper spacing. I think mante had to change them on his vr-4 tooQuote:

so you're using adaptors? cool!
my vr4 being a pfl is 130mm bolt spacing, where brembos are 160mm. is it a L shaped bracket?
yeah, L-shaped bracket

I am just curious quick question can you use the brembo set up with the 6g vr4 brake rotors?The 6g rotors are bigger then the stock 7g rotors arent they.
