Ok thanks that the same diagram I was looking at but couldn't find it lol. Mine is a manual already does it matter? Since you said its for the auto

your switching from a 2.4l automatic ecu to 2.0l manual ecu, for the automatic transmission to work it generates the voltage elsewhere in the car branches out and go to the speedometer and the galant ecu as an input to change gears, for the evo8 ecu its an output tach signal that goes to the speedometer cluster it does not need to tell anything to switch gears, so when boomslang wired it up they tied it to an output wire, what i did is, i cliped the tach wire from the ecu and used it for my shift light
Just a quick update
Today I switched the stock fuel pump with a walbro 255 here's a few pictures

your fuel pump is black and orange? i remember mine to be a cloudy white color
That was the old one the new one is in the second picture and that one is like black and silver

Looks good, quick question though.... is the walbro 255 fuel pump direct plug in to galant harness? i know some cars you need a harness adaptor for it to work?
It was a direct plugin with me.

good work
yea that plastic shit that holds it.... mine was cloudy white too yours is Orange? wierd
Yea wierd mine came out like that

Another quick question is when you did dohc swap you had to upgrade ecu, correct? Is that for what ever head is used, for ex. I may have to use sonata head bc i can't find evo head without paying arm and leg for it ( i can get the sonata head right now with in.mani., injectors, fuel rail, coolant pipe, etc. For under 100 bucks were is on average evo head alone is 300+) now back to original question would i have to run ecu with that head running n/a until i build turbo? Also did you ever get it dynoed n/a yet i am curious to what your hitting n/a before boosted?
Actually I just got it tuned for NA but for right now I just want to turbo it before MOD and do the interior. So if I have extra money left then I will dyno it before turbo but I doubt it. Also, I ran my car with the galant ecu for awhile until I have to pass emissions. The light for the for the automatic transmission came on so I knew that I wouldn't pass emissions that's why I went with the evo ecu.
Also do you know all the parts needed for the swap?
For the evo head or the sonata head swap? Sonata i found a tread with a parts list but not evo, but it never said anything about ecu swap that's why i was asking.
As of right now i am still auto tranny, i was thinking on swapping the head first bc i am doing head gasket right now and figured now would be good to do it. I am just saving now to get what i need while searching local jy's for 8g evo, if i don't find one ill do the sonata. In nashville area all the yards i have found sofar is nothing but one 02 lancer and it was stripped by the time i got to it, all that was left was the body lol.
What codes wre you throwing with the stock ECU? i am curious was it just the trannsmission ones?
FINALLY TURBO!!!!
After almost year its finally kinda done :)
Just wanted to update this post
More pics to come

Still needs a tune and vacuums lines to get connected other than that its done.
Good looks, congrats dude!
Looks good,lets hear it run!! How much boost are you going to run?
me likey!!!!!! Did you weld the icp to the intercooler? have you started her up yet?
Lol thanks and yea I started it up already and just now got it tuned but BIG PROBLEM the turbo won't boost its only like at 8 psi cuz of the wastegate. So have to see if there's a leak or the actual turbo is no good so too late today to find out
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
Really? evo ecu? you using ecuflash? Did you get a MBC? that should help you increase your boost even though your waste gate will see 8, if thats what its set at.
Yea I think theres a vacuum leak somewhere lol I will check tomorrow......but it is evo ecu got flashed everything on the tune looked great just it wouldn't go pass 8 psi. It has boost controller and we tried to increase and decrease it and it was always at 8 psi....
Things to do tomorrow is check the bov and wastegate then see if there's any leaks :)

Looks good man! Glad to see you got it boosted now :) I see you extended the exhaust manifold pipes to clear the starter too? LMK if I can get that OBX header from you since you wont be needing it anymore ;)
Looks good. Make sure you heat wrap that upper radiator hose where it passes the #4 runner and above the wastegate dump tube, a few heat cycles and that shit will melt and cause big problems.
In regards to your boosting problems. What spring is the in wastegate? What type of boost controller do you have? How is it hooked up? I didnt see one hooked up in the pics you posted above. Also, what are you using to determine how much boost your making, are you reading it from a gauge or from the logging software for EcuFlash? Does the boost max at 8psi in every gear??
Yea it go extended..............for a point there I thought that I was going to need a custom built one but they were able to use the one I had. Also about the headers I can sell them to you real cheap if you want and I can even deliver them since I will be in cali :).
Actually as far as the wastegate I do not know what springs it has.....boost controller is HBC boost controller and I am taking some new pictures right now to show how it is hooked up. Also as far as the boost gauge I just grab one from autozone because I was in a hurry so I will buy a better one. Also when we tested it we were tuning it so the whole time was on the 3rd gear pull. He said I might also need a throttle sensor because it was just showing that throttle was at 80 percent when i was flooring it. The turbo itself look great so don't know if the turbo is the problem there was no shaft play or anything on it. So I will start to see if the vacuum lines are right.
Take a closer pic of where your throttle cable bolts to the intake manifold? Are you using an EVO cable or an 8g cable? In order to get proper cable tension using the 8g cable, you need to modify the bracket on the cable, that will make it sorta work right, or you can just make a plate to adapt it, to make it work 100% right. The problem is the cable mounts to the manifold too close to the TB, this causes slack in the cable, so the first 25% of your pedal push is just taking up the slack, which prevents you from getting the throttle open all the way, because your pedal hits the floor before its all the way open.
If you are running the EVO cable, you might have a bad sensor, or just need to re-calibrate the sensor in the software.
You also need to know which spring your running. A manual boost controller can only provide boost to levels double of the waste gate spring pressure. So if you have a 5psi spring, your max level of boost with the boost controller all the way bottomed out is 10psi, if you consider having boost leaks too, you might only see about 8psi.
I found this hose disconnected

Had to make a custom harness for the injectors

LOVE ZIP TIES LOL Alright this happened last night when I was on the freeway I started smelling a great amount of fuel so as soon as I pulled over it shut off. So I get out and see gas spilling over my headlights. So I noticed that the fuel line came off.
Good thing I carry zip ties in my car lol

Should I put a vacuum line on top of the wastegate too?

No you "shouldn't" be running the 8g cable, you should be running the EVO cable because its "right". You can use the 8g cable though, you just need to know how to install it correctly so it functions the right way.
Great turn out bro it looks great!!! :) Videos!! Videos!! lol
Oh ya and did you fix your boost leak? I had the same problem you had on my Talon.It was the bov.
