Congrats, I want a video or two.
It's getting there. I've had my fair share of video-worthy moments, but haven't had my GoPro on board. Things will hopefully change within the next few weeks as I have a couple of adjustments on the way to make the car more competitive for anything other than a 40 roll.
Might as well get up to speed with how things are going this year. New front wheels and tires to stick power to the ground. 17x9 +24 Cobra reps with 275/40/17 Mickey Thompson E/T Streets. MSD 6AL-2 ignition box with MSD Blaster SS coil, since I had maxed out the stock ignitions capabilities on a mere 8psi. AEM TruBoost EBC. Scramble boost setting for 9psi in 1st and 2nd gear. 16psi for 3rd through 5th gear.

This past weekend I got around to hitting the rollers at MAP for a breast cancer fundraiser, Boost for a Cure!

First run was the result of wheel spin due to the operator attempting the pull in 3rd gear. The second run resulted in 488whp/461wtq. The third run was a solid repeat at 487whp/464wtq.

It feels good to finally approach the 500whp mark. I will say, I was very temped to turn the boost controller up a hair just to reach the 500whp milestone, but I'll enjoy it as-is for now and maybe go back in a few months on a little more boost and go beyond the magical 531whp mark that stands on top of the V6 Galant pyramid ;)
You know Im glad your still at it, not many are nowadays or just dont have the time to. How does the trans hold up, have you had to rebuild at all? I can imagine the reactions from people at the fund raiser lol.
Great stuff man , thanks for the update!
Pretty amazing power output Matt! Too bad it is still slower than mine!
Like I said on FB man, this is awesome!! I love seeing this high horsepower Galants. I cant wait to get back to mine and hopefully one day we can have a galant vs galant showdown!
Nice thats crazy power! too bad the pics arent working wanted to see the 275s on it.
Same, I thought it was just my computer but I guess not haha.Quote:

Thanks guys!
Bryant, the transmission is untouched other than adding the Wavetrac LSD. The F5M51 is pretty tough and can take one hell of a beating.
Jigz, I can think of just the right event for that! Check out Powercruise. They host one in the U.S. and it's here in MN. Definitely the best weekend of the year.
I decided to throw a video of the dyno on youtube since photobucket is deemed worthless now. Enjoy!

Nice job Matt!
And yes, Photobucket is worthless now...
Thanks Dave!
This photobucket thing is a real bummer. R.I.P. every build thread on all forums.
I don't curse a lot, but I'm just going to call them photo_uck_t from now on.
Your Galant is progressing nicely, can't wait to see it get to the top like you said. You deserve it. I wish all this 6g7x action was around when I lived in MN, makes me want to go back for a visit :)
Mission accomplished. 552whp/562wtq. Stock-block 6G74.
I figured it was worthy of it's own thread. The embedded video is located there.
what are the ring gaps? Stock ECU?
Stock ring gaps. The short-block is untouched with around 100k on it.
The ECU is from a 2003 Eclipse V6 M/T flashed with the big map rom.
im about to start building a manifold for the 3g. Im hoping I can get some power out of it. Do you know if there are big maps for 02 eclipse M/T?
The big maps rom will work as long as the ecu has the newer processor. The square underhood fuse box is typically a good indicator of that.
The ROM itself is actually an 01 cali-spec ROM from what I've been told, but it only works on the updated ecu.
