Yep, we're both gonna be at Factory MOD.
tim wanna go to back to normal?
Depends... we'll talk on it.
by then we should both have reliable fully built cars. time to tape them up again for another road trip
man this motor look nice and clean
ahhh i got to start saving money
shit my car might as well be sponsored by greddy!
just ordered:
greddy oil catch can
greddy radiator overflow tank
and ive already got:
greddy emanage blue
greddy Ti-C exhaust
greddy counterweight shift knob
oh and just got notified that the clutch, flywheel, and my fuel rails just arrived! thanks again tim and cant wait to see the pics
nice cant wait till your back up and running you got in on the 3g buy for the fuel rails right? they were really nice looking if they are still selling them i may have to pick them up when i finish everything going on now
if im not mistaken i was told they stopped selling them but you never know. they have a website and you may be able to custom order a set but im sure that you wont get them for the GB price and if you do then awesome for you. tim got them in yesterday and he said that they look absolute! so they were worth the money to me. i enjoy quality with a price ya know.
Hey did they ever fix them K-sport coilovers and add the hole for the sway bar link?
it looks like it but i cant be sure without actually seeing them. im still in iraq and wont be home until at least the spring time. but from the looks of it they fixed them. i hope i didnt pay almost a grand on something that isnt fully complete and if i did then im prepared to have them fixed. i know way too many fabricators who can help out in that department.
a little update:
cams, greddy catch can and rad overflow tank, injector clips, short shifter, valve springs, as well as the clutch and flywheel are all in and waiting for me to get home for their installs but the pistons are going to take 6weeks to get made from CP and then i still have to figure out what else i want to do within the realm of not spending all my deployment money.
update +2: i wont be able to get the car painted fully because i will be buying a house when i return from my deployment. so i will be staying silver for a little longer but at least the car will look like i want it to and have a built motor to go with the face she will have.
im kind of bummed about not being able to get the car painted but at least i will have the power i want.
thanks man, im just really ready for the old style vr4 bumper as it looks more aggressive and will provide a way for me to duct air to the brakes when im on the road course.
Combine the parts from his build along with my build under the same roof (I'm hoarding his parts until they go in the car) and you literally have a little kid in a candy store :D
Currently, there is a full front JDM conversion, RPW cams and springs, SPEC clutch, Fidanza flywheel, these crazy-ass fuel rails, Megan short shifter, Carbing STB, GReddy rice, spare CP pistons, hotside turbo piping for a 6G72, D3 Designs CSK, CSF radiator, HKS SSQV, and a MSD 6A box and coil sitting on the middle level of my house :lol: I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff. But yeah, somebody would make out very well by raiding my house right now. If they own a 6G72 Eclipse or Galant, that is :lol:
BJ, may I keep these cams?
lol no dammit!!!
since you have such a good repor with CP why dont you get my pistons quicker than 6 weeks. man thats such bullshit, you know they are going to sit somewhere for a damn week.
Shit, now I've got to pull them out of my heads. Fucking eh, man!
I have no ties to CP... just Race Engineering (the guys who are ordering them for you). And that's an accurate lead time. CP is SWAMPED during the winter. They told me about the same...
Or Fed Ex will lose them.
please tim do not curse me.
tj man thanks for the pics i ll have to post them tonight when i get off work!! that was the nut ive been waiting to get for the last couple of weeks
hey guys i was thinking of using this as my new sig. its a picture that tj sent me of my cams and springs but i played with it a little on paint for a few minutes because it was begging for some more attention. let me know what you think.
Hah thats sexy Boostz but wouldn't that be hard to read as a sig?
That's what I told him :lol:
i know it will be but i was thinking about how epic it looks when you look at it fully. man i like the way it pans out you know. i just wish i could get it to be more clear. TJ if you want to play with it please by all means do so to see what you come up with. ive enjoyed your creative side before so have at it.
I has no creative side.
LOL @ epic.
lol considering how this pic makes me feel and the magnitude of this build to me, yeah i think epic would be the term
Do you want me to post the photos?
why yes if you could, im at work so my computer owns me right now=(

Now thats an epic pic ^.^
lol, macro mode on my camera is epic fail.
haha what camera do you have?
It's like a Fuji 3.2 MP I won several years back at a raffle at ISEF. Free is good, but I need a better camera.
Meh, it gets the point across.
slight new update, if some of you dont know the last numbers the car posted were 225whp @5300 and 235wtq @4350. there have been some improvements over the last few months that have made changes in the butt dyno but all of you know that i dont go by that. so one more will be done while im on the east coast and on 93 octane fuel at virtually sea level. hoping for some great numbers this time. i just bought an evo x so some of the attention will be getting shifted but i tell you what, my galant is one hell of a daily driver. i got 29.1mpg on the last road trip i got running on shell 92/93 octane fuel
What is your total gain over stock whp?
my first dyno netted me only 158whp and 164wtq but that was in SC on a mustang dyno at only 50ft above sea level. after the swap, rebuild, 5spd swap, and tune im sitting at 225whp and 235wtq so quite a gain ill say for the money spent and that was in utah at nearly 4600ft above sea level. not to mention with me being NA ive seriously spent as much as someone going with a SDS stage 1 or a revised turbo kit and am making more power in some cases. i have to say though, it comes from researching a picking a good combo of parts. also the last time i was dyno'd i was on a dynojet as opposed to the dynamite dyno that i made that 158. if i was to go back to the original dyno i would probably be close to 230whp and 240wtq. so definatively a 67whp gain and a 71wtq gain over stock and ive dropped about 300lbs of weight as well. surely makes for a hell of a quick galant.
damn man im going to try and get stationed with you so i can get some help with my G lol
