I have this chillin in my garage waiting to be installed.
EVO8 16G
EVO8 IC piping
2.5" FMIC
EVO8 BOV
HKS SSQV BOV
Ebay tubular manifold
4G63 exhaust manifold flanges to act as spacers x2
M8x60x1.25 allen head bolts x7
M10x60x1.25 flange head bolts x2
AEM UEGO wideband
Prosport Boost gauge
Prosport Oil pressure gauge
Glowshift dual gauge gauge pod
EVO fuel rail and regulator
Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump (already installed)
WRX 440cc injectors
-4AN SS braided line for oil feed
-10AN Nylon braided line for return
BLOX Oil filer housing adapter
Greddy E-manage Blue w/Boomslang harness (courtesy of Ivory8g)
Golden Eagle Vacuum manifold
12" Slim fan (push set-up)
Waiting on my guys exhaust guy to get an estimate for a custom DP/TBE
I want to run about 10-12 psi, on my own personal tune. No one else is going to touch this car except for whoever is fabricating the exhaust.
It's about to get real.
yea!
Dope! I would've done this as well if CA smog wasnt so strict ;[
With Isaurio's knowhow, any CEL's should be solved.Quote:

First day, I mounted the intercooler to the crash bar and removed the manifold along with the fuel rail and injectors. I also installed the EVO rail, FPR, and WRX 440's.

Next day I got to work on it was a wednesday, by this time, I had the oilpan installed and was now prepping the car to get the manifold and spacers on.

spacers worked like a charm. also wrapped the starter in heat reflective tape.

The next day was a Friday, this is when the clearance issues for the water lines popped its ugly head out. I had bought -8 AN fittings with push-lock adapters, just to find out they were too long and hit the starter. I was pretty de-motivated but a click away on FP's site got me back up and working. We also removed the PS pump, the AC, and the condenser that night.

The next day was Saturday, we worked from 11PM to 4AM and got the fan installed the turbo mounted and the pillar ready for gauges. we also got the oil feed and return lines mocked for when the turbo is ready to be permanently installed.

Theres a ton more pictures my wife took but this is about all the pics relevant to the thread.
I got the evo ignition coils today, i will swap the Galant boots and wires to them and install them tomorrow. I also have to replace the line going to the turbo because it started to seep oil from being too kinked. I got an extra 6" line an AN union and another 2 ft. of braided line to replace the leaky one. going to finish up the wiring on the fan and clean her up and it's photoshoot time.
She sits like this, being driven everyday like I intended too. Gosh, did I miss her. Feels like a TOTALLY DIFFERENT animal.

Good stuff man!
Awesome Jigs

Looks amazing!
Nice work Jigz. I know you know already, but its an amazing feeling putting it all together.
Great work man, looks good! Is it the pic or is that upper radiator hose a lil too close to that exhaust mani?
Fresh coat of paint and some low offset wheels and you're money :)
It's a good inch away from the mani actually. I also wrapped it in heat reflective tape for extra measure. I've been daily driving it and it hasnt been an issue.Quote:

Read up on the turbo install. Awesome work.
Fap x3, or whatever you typically post! ;)
Looks great, amazing job on boosting the ride. Congrats! Enjoy it!
Thanks =)
Oh ok, do you plan to upgrade your radiator at some point to a koyo or evo radiator?Quote:

I will eventually go to the Koyo. Or Maybe a C&R half radiator. Though I would love to retain the stock fan.
Wow Jigz awesome work on your G, I so want to see this beast!
i say go for it, it would fit your car really well.Quote:

Lookn fresh
I'd love to see that dude. I'm thinking either Grids, or RB's.Quote:

Tweaked the E-manage a little bit at idle and partial throttle. Despite deciding to park it, the VERY NEXT DAY I couldnt leave her there in the cold so I messed with the E-manage more to be able to drive her back and forth to work.
I got the AFR's to oscillate between 16-17:1 at idle with a slight stumble to 17 and to 15ish at times but most of the time she idles around 16.5ish.
At partial throttle she oscillates between 14.3-15.5:1 with a slight stumble to 16.1 and 13.9 at times. It doesnt stumble that far often.
Also clamped the anti-stall at 35 hz.
She's been driving smooth for the most part, havent really got into it. drove her an hour south for a doctors appointment and she was fine the whole time on the highway. actually had the AFR's oscillate at 13.9-15.1 at 80 mph in 5th gear at around 3k.
The only bad news is I've had this wierd occurence of the car going COMPLETELY RICH at idle. it started about a week ago when it started to get cold. The wideband goes to 10:1 and stays there for several seconds and it hunts for an idle. The smell from the exhaust is RAW fuel. lol. I guess better to smell fuel than burned pistons right? I have yet to pull the plugs though I havent felt it break up since tweaking the E-manage. I'm not too worried about it though.
Because it's EVO ECU time courtesy of BHM Motors! Matt's hooking me up with a conversion harness, ECU, and a base map. As soon as I get that in the mail and plugged in, I am hoping the drivability issues will finally go away. Then it's tune time.
Another change to the set-up. Just bought a set of EVO 560's from laidback8g. Funny I came across his FS thread for them on evom only to find out he's a fellow 8g owner! lol.
Also spoke to a local DSM/EVO tuner here and advised me to go bigger with the injectors. we are currently figuring out a time for me to use the dyno while tuning along with his help or just having him tune it all together. though I would rather tune it myself.
id suggest going bigger as well better to buy larger injectors and not need them then to go smaller and max them out. thats what i ran into with the 440's im using now.
yeah, I just need a picture of how the resistor box is wired.
I need the clips for the injectors right? the EVO injectors dont fit on the Galant pigtails?
yah you need the clips. dsm's use the same style if im not mistaken. just go cut some off of a 7g at the yard.
here is the wiring for the resister pack you can use the evo, dsm or honda for sure there might be other cars out the with resister packs but those 3 i know will work without problems.
wire colors might be off but that is how you wire them up.
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...sconnectpl.jpg
go to the junkyard and get yourself 7gb injector clips. 7ga ones also fit, but the 7gb have the quick release.
this is what the quick release look like

Got the injectors, EVO ECU, and the BHM harness in the mail today! Just waiting on a resistor box and pigtails. Can't wait to get all of it set-up. I'm getting sick of the E-manage's temper tantrums.
dam how much i envy you guys with the silver galants lol makes me want to paint mine over and get it silver lol.. props on the car..
