I'm finally proud to show the engine bay off!
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps704cbee5.jpg
Finally got the stupid exhaust fixed. Chopped the can off and welded on a 2.5" to 4" tip making the exhaust a 2.5" straight TBE. no resonators, no mufflers, no cats, no bullshit.
Love the sound it makes when it starts up.
Excuse the iphone quality videos. Was too lazy to mount and upload gopro footage.
Cold start

Free rev to 3.5k once it was warmed up

Cruising with my buddys 240. Tries to do a flyby at about 11psi at half throttle but thee wind kinda ruined it. Doesnt do it justice, my buddy too it off of his iphone5 then sent it to my iphone4. The sound is a little distorted. Going to take a flyby video with the go pro once the rain goes away.

tone is nice, a little loud for my taste but I guess you don't DD her so it's not a big deal. Love the way it looks
it's really not that loud. 60mph in 5th gear and you barely hear it in the cabin. It's louder from outside than anything. It's totally daily driveable for me but then again, I grew up around loud exhausts and such.
I feel ya, I guess the video doesn't translate it that well. shoot any flames yet? :D
Yeah I can't wait to get the go pro on it. I popped flame from time to time with the muffler I have yet to see it out of this setup.
Oh man I can only imagine what this sounds like outside of the car. It sounds damn good to me. I know I've listened to videos after you text them to someone and it just doesnt sound the same. Sounds DD'able to me. My current setup is too quiet for me and there is only one resonator -___-. this sounds a peep louder than mine
Flames. Umm. Did you at one point retard timing to be able to do that. Or it just does it.
Careful if you did not mess with timing. Flames mean unburn fuel and it pops at the tip of the muffler. Meaning to much fuel going in the cylinder.
Flames makes the car mean. Lol. Looks good keep it up.
My past tune, the flames popped but they weren't huge flames only happened after a good pull and I let of at redline.
The new tune is a little more aggressive. Devin had to pull a little bit of timing in The low end to battle the knock. After 2k its all good though. Pulls awesome and its at 100 mph before you know it. Though, once I put some 100 octane in it it should run a little better. The car doesn't like pump gas =/
^ i see. nice. Knock!! double check fuel before pulling timing. Make sure is on point at a given rpm. tooooo much fuel or to lean will also cause knock. pump gas should be fine as long you fine tune the fuel mixture. evos are managing to put out 400+WHP on pump gas off course with a smooth tune. keep up the good work, i like what i see.
Thanks. Yeah I go back the 18th so we can tweak it some more on the dyno.
Hi Jigzy!
Hey Davey!!
Well folks, unfortunately BabyG's run for this season may have come to an end. A few buddies and I went to Byron dragway in byron, IL this past weekend and sadly the diff took a dump. I manage to make 3 passes but only one was a solid run.
First pass, first run of the day on the track so the strip was a little cold. Has the tires at 40 psi and no burnout. I pull up to the line and hit the pre-stage lights, pull up some more, and I trip the second set of staging bulbs. I bring the revs up to about 3.2K and as the amber went out I dump the clutch. Spin MASSIVELY through first, misshift into second (stupid Ralco) and SPIN some more once I got it into gear. Go into third I finally catch some traction and she's moving. I let off a little before the flag and manged to pull a 16.11 @ 96.7 mph. I saw the trapspeed and knew she had 13's in her.
Seond pass. Pissed off about the first pass, I hotlap it back to the staging lanes and calm myself. I pull up to the tree and stage. Ambers went out and I baby it out, hit 3k in first gear, mashed it and spun all the way through, slam it into 2nd, still spinning, hit third and I am finally getting some grip. I went through the gates at 96.6 MPH and clocked a 14.6 1/4 mile and a pathetic 2.5" 60'.
At this point, I know I can break into the 13's if I get the holeshot down.
Third pass, I pull up to the line, left lane this time. Staged, ambers and I BLANK! Got the revs up to about 3.5k, I panic and I DUMP the clutch. SPIN THE SHIT out of first gear and slam second. I am in a Panic, second gear is just as useless and is now bouncing off the rev limiter. I shift into third and miss it! All i can think off is you stupid mutherf****** piece of crap short throw shifter! I get it into gear and just drive down the track. I am not even going to mention the time because I didnt even bother to try and pick it up after that.
At this point I know I have to let her cool down for a few minutes. Parked it, popped the hood, and grabbed something to eat. Talking with a few of my buddies, we decide maybe we should drop the tire pressure and heat the tires up in the box. Now I am thinking to myself, I dont think the axles will be able to handle the rubber in the burnout box. I proceeded to drop the pressure to 30 psi and get my ass to the staging lanes. I pull up to the burn out box and my heart is PALPUTATING!!!! Nervous as all hell. I rev it up to about 2.5k and I dump the clutch. Spun it and slowly let off as I got out of the water and the steering wheel jerks to the right. Weird. I pull up to stage and as I slipped the clutch the steering wheel is violently going left and right. so I let off and pull off to the side of the track. As i pull it back into the staging lanes I noticed dripping from under the car. That cant be good. I immediately pop the hood and saw that the motor was okay and its not the motor leaking. It was gear lube. I look under the car and there it is. The axle straigh sheared the splines off and is now stuck in the trans. Great.
5 hours later we finally got the truck and dolly so we can tow her back to the shop. We left her there for the night and prayed to the LORD that all it needs is an axle.
Got into work this morning and got a phone call from my buddies girlfriend saying the axle is in and I can pick it up. Skipped lunch at work so I can get out early to pick up the new axle. bring it back to the shop and get BabyG up on a lift as soon as I could.
We got the splines out by pushing it through from the other side and got her back together. I re-aligned it and took her out for a drive. As I was turning the wheel the steering wheel was making the same jerking motion it was doing when the axle broke and especially on turns.
Put it back up on the lift and spund the driver wheel. The first thing I noticed was the passenger wheel was going the same direction as the drivers wheel meaning the diff was locked. No good. Open diff. I kept spinning it until they completely stopped and became hard to turn. Diff is toast.
At the moment, I am evaluating what I NEED to do and WANT to do. I just recently bought a home so the Galant was going to take a backseat anyhow but I wanted to be able to drive it. Guess not.
I am at the point of either parting the turbo set-up out and leave her with no powertrain until I can figure out how to fund the build and drop a 63T in it and go standalone when I bring her back. OR gobble up as much sidework and extra cash to put another WEAK ASS trans in it.
LSD would be astronomically out of the budget. I would love to just order a Quaiffe and call it a day but I have other priorities in front of the car. BabyG is the most IMPORTANT but not the first priority. Especially with a home and wanting to start a family.
I havent been this upset in a LONG time. I feel like my beloved pet was just diagnosed with an uncurable disease.
I have the diff in the blown trans at my parents house so I might pull that out and drop it into the trans in the car. I am just not sure if there is any other damage besides the diff in the current trans.
Well, enough of my rambling. I'll figure something out and once that happens I will update you all. Thank you Galant family. I might be gone for a while, but know that, when I come back whether its with a new trans, or a completely new build I will be back with a vengeance!
I got excited for a moment reading about the drag strip, but its a sad day in the Galant world :(
Damn that really there's like 3 trans in my area only if you was close
Damn, that's an unfortunate turn of events. Cruel Summer won't be the same without BabyG.
Sucks to hear this. Since you have that extra differential laying around, I would just pick a day and throw it in. Worst case scenario is that you spend a few hours doing that and still have a trans problem, but it doesn't cost anything other than gear oil and rtv.
Hang in there Jigz!
Sorry to hear about this... But come back bigger and better! Your car has become an inspiration for mine... Good luck!

Thank you for all of your support. It means a lot to see the impact my little blue rocket has on people.
I woke up this morning and thought to myself, there is NO WAY I am going to let this beat me and ruin my cruel summer. I have a good diff in a blown trans and a bad diff in a good trans. I am going to Frankenstein two transmissions to make one and BabyG will be back in action!
thats the spirit jigz. god speed bro.
That's what I'm talking about! People take note, this is how winners do it, never giving up!
Good luck Jigz, not that you need it 'cause you got this.
Im going to just leave this here.

*sinister laugh*

I was wondering when this would surface... love the way this will be going
looking good Jigz... what turbo is that?

Last time you guys saw BabyG, she was on her deathbed. If you follow sosickmotorpsorts on instagram you've seen this pictures.

I was supposed to buy this, but the owner flaked right after I told him I am ready to come up with a truck and trailer to take it off his hands.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psa24982c9.jpg
Oh well, his loss.
I was pretty lost after that. Started looking at 2G Eclipses but had no desire to build one.
I bought a set of wheels for my daily so I drowned my sorrows in the "stance game" for a few weeks.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psd7abaef0.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps11517cce.jpg
I soon realized how fuckin' boring the "stance game" is. People can only stand around in a parking lot, and drive around doing 0-60 in 12 seconds for so long.
Safe to say something in me snapped, and after a few conversations with underated, Greddy, and Ivory8g I was back in the Galant mentality of things.
I ended up going to the junkyard and hounding some of my buddies for parts and ended up with this stack of parts in the garage that my wife is currently yelling at me for.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps38d0ffdb.jpg
Next thing you know, I was spending my wifes money buying cams and shit.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psd8d84e15.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps60f9501b.jpg
AAAANNNN THENNNNN I got to meet this guy and ride in this car. It was over after that.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps9da5b289.jpg
Then, I took my motor apart.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...pse610bf1a.jpg
Probably could have gotten away using the stock bottom end, but then I would be stock around 15psi of boost and we dont want that. We wanted MOARRRR BOOOSSSTTTT
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...pseae45631.jpg
So I bought Pistons and rods
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psb38f9070.jpg
As far as the body goes, I couldnt let her go so I fixed the firewall, straightened the frame and learned how to weld. Core support is removeable now.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps4baa99c7.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps06c01be6.jpg
This was my first take on the patch, hated it so I cut it back out. Did a second try and hated it even more. Im saying third time is a charm.. Whenever I get to it.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psd402cfa6.jpg
Started welding shit up. Dont tell anyone but yes, I cut a perfectly good ETS UICP so I can weld a TiAL flange on it. Also made a battery tray for my baby battery and mocked a patch with cardboard (second try, hated it too).
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psec07270c.jpg
Then it got cold, so since I was stuck inside I figured I'd buy parts.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psee1c0722.jpg
parts
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps53029b42.jpg
and more parts
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps1dafb36c.jpg
then, BabyG said she wanted to be like a Honda. So I learned how to weld some more.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps09a8bd22.jpg
I took every piece of interior out besides the dash and the seat, still contemplating on the door panels. Probably going to gut the rear doors as well.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...pscf80fd72.jpg
But then it got EVEN COLDER.
So she sits like this ATM. Oh yeah, those are JDM heads.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps1bf28157.jpg
So now, I'm waiting to get just a tad warmer and my engine back from the machine shop and progress will commence. I apologize for the Instapics as well, I didnt have a decent computer until now. So expect some GT/TGC exclusive pictures on the DSLR on the progress to come.

Got a couple things more to buy with our tax returns but the biggest thing is the LSD. I am shooting to be ready and tuned by June. My cruel summer was ruined last year. I am not going to let it get ruined this year.
Yus! Me likey, thanks for the galant porn!
Looking forward to the updates!
You'll get there! Keep it up man, love the restoration.
Jigz my man, remember when you do the LSD to get the speedo drive gear and fresh bearings. And test fit your axles in it before installing it in your trans.
Love the progress, I need proper photos though to see the madness. You going FF?
Nice work so far, youve been pretty busy!
Thanks guys.
Yes, Martin I will make sure to do all of that. Was planning on getting all the necessary OEM bearings and gears anyway. As of now, I am not going FF but maybe down the road I will which is why I opted for the half radiator. I will run the 60-1 for now but dont count me out as I see a bigger turbo in the works for the future. No AWD though. sadly.
xd_01, are you still FWD?
Good stuff man! Glad to see underated is still doing big things!
Good luck Jigz, though I know you don't need it, you got this.
