Really? Even though the evolved is dohc? I assume that custom exhaust manifold is prime, but what about the intake manni? Been toying with evolved or the outlander with larger throttle body. But it will be a bit before I get to this point. Just looking to start making a shopping list for when I start hitting the jy.

Oh what you went speed density?

Yep, omni 4 bar and gm IAT . Dragon, you can used a stock evo manifold with spacers.
Very nice! Sd alone can net you 20-30 whp and more area under the curve. I'm sure it drives like butter.

Yeah that was the reason I did it, love the way it drives.
Congrats on the gains
Thanks dude, Im really pleased with the way the car is now.
Congrats on the numbers. I can't wait to get mine running and get a dyno.
Hey can u snap some pics of where you mounted your IAT sensor?? I'm considering going with speed density too.

Its in a bung welded into the upper intercooler pipe about 6 inches from the throttle body, I used the IAT and bung from diyautotune.com.

Did a track day, car was great with only a few minor issues, ran a personal best time and vanquished a supercharged nsx.

How did the new power level feel, any torque steer?? What club did u run with?
No issues with torque steer with the retune, the way the power comes in is much more linear rather than the massive spike in torque in the lower RPM range, my biggest issue was I turned the boost down for reliability but once in 4th gear the car was still creeping up to 21-22 psi so once it started to creep I would go part throttle and hold the car at 15 psi manually, was still topping out 4th easily. I was running with Alfa Club of Oregon, they do two events a year, a spring and a fall, it was a good shakedown. Wasnt really planning on taking the galant since I was excited to try out the miata with all the changes I did this winter but alas that did not work out. Ill have some go pro footage up soon.

Not my best laps but there it is, car has so much left in it, wish I had the gopro running when Josh and I played with the nsx.
Dope vid! Love seeing her move thru those corners at speed like its nothing.
Nice shakedown! Ive been to much of wimp to heel/toe but looks like you got down. Are you jump to r-comps this year?
Nice driving, the car looks like its very well behaved in the corners.
One bit of advice, watch your brake release, I had a hard time with that in autocross, but your release should be just as smooth as your application. What would happen to me is I'd have the weight transferred with the brakes, and when I'd release and turn in the weight would transfer backwards just as I completed my turn in and cause the car to push.
I can certainly tell we have different driving styles, though its hard to tell with how open a road course is vs. how tight autocross is.
I doubt I will go to R comps, with the huge RS3s that I currently run on the car I dont thing I will want R comps, I currently am about 2 seconds off the time set by a stock E92 M3 on BFG R1s and am just under a second off the Spec Miata track record, which was set on Hoosier SM6s(R6 basically). Its kind of a big deal to chase down spec miata times because they have an incredible amount of speed in the corners and every track we go to that is the goal. I think that once the car is consistently below spec miata speeds I will buy some r comp takeoffs like I do for my miata and go from there.
Its hard to get this car out there since I have the miata now and we have a large group of guys who track miatas and we have a NW miata challenge that is pretty active so the galant only makes it out every once in a while. I do still rely on it for daily transportation os there is that.
The car will be out again in about a month or so, Ill b e doing an instructor school that will certify me to instruct students at HPDEs and will lower my cost.
Heel toe is fantastic, for whatever reason it is easier in this car than in the miata, I love it, really reduces the strain on the drivetrain.

Here is a little bit more, nothing super exciting.
Drove it like you stole it lol, car sounds mean
Nice vids
I got 99 problems and my torque is one :P
Love it dude
Great build thread. Makes me miss my car even more!
yeah, the torque is nice, I drive carefully especially with the rs3s on so Im not straining the drivetrain too hard, I dont like breaking things and the idea of actually launching a car constantly scares me, hence why I do track days rather than drag racing, although once the weather improves I will take the galant down on the street tires to do a couple of non launch passes to see what she will do.
Thanks for stopping by aisianz, been a while since Ive seen you on here. You still rolling in the LS?
http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps146d3d35.jpgsnapped yet another axle, although this is quite special, snapped the axle shaft and not one of the joints, axle was 2 weeks old.
The good thing about the lifetime warranties at parts stores is that replacements are free, haha!
damn!! was that the inboard side?
That's the drivers side axle, best part is the one I replaced before I snapped the joint. Passenger side axle has been going strong for 5 years.
I mean is that the tranny side of the axle? If what was you must have hard time getting it out.
Yep tranny side, it wasn't too pad, popped the other side out and just bunched it through
Gonna need some DSS axles pretty soon.

meh, probably not, the key with axles most of the time is repacking them with good grease and putting on new boots, because its usually the joints where they break, in this case, there was really nothing I could have done about it.
Gonne need spares in that case, would suck to have it end your track day early on the few times the Galant gets to see the track.

I just saw an article in a track magazine about cheap tools to keep with you at the track an one of them was a heavy duty magnet to pull the splined in out off the diff in case in snapped off. Im pretty sure it was an intermediate shaft that had no C clip on the end so this wouldnt work for your situation obviously. Did this happen at the track?
No, this happened on a 2-3 shift and then going about 25% throttle. At my last track day I managed to destroy an axle but it was at one of the joints, I have spare axles so its not a huge deal and I understand with the power that Im making and the grip of the tires and how hard I drive the car when it sees the track that axles will break, just not in this manner.
Good place to get heavy magnets is from the hospital. They use a magnet to wipe the memory from a pacemaker so they can reprogram it. After they are done with the magnets they get tossed, the hospital local to me gave me a dozen of them.
Won't pull a circlip axle out though, still handy.
Just make sure to have a spare and leave it as the weak point.
The nice thing is atleast you have an LSD. If you snapped an axle like that with an open diff, best believe the diff will destroy itself. lol Trust me I know. This is the reason why I have Autozone axles. I can replace them unlimitedly (is that a word?)
^^^ This. Except the one time you end up getting the asshole of the yaer behind the counter and gives you crap that abuse isn't covered by the warranty. Then you have to waste time going to another store to swap it.
