Okay, I just took my car to a SMOG place down in Mission Viejo. Threw the stock air filter housing on there, made all the extra vacuum lines look like they actually went somewhere, and there were no questions asked. Passed with flying colors. Oh and all for $49.50 haha
take a pic of how it looks like..!!!Quote:

How's the 74 so far? Any videos yet?
haha no, no videos yet. I just got my new laptop so I finally cleared up the memory on my camera, so now I have 31 minutes worth of recording space on there, so I'll get something soon. Maybe some driveby's, some in car shots, and I was actually thinking of filming the entire drive down Decker Canyon Road (supppperrrr windy.. and about 20 minutes)
Today was the first time I heard my car revving even a little bit from outside the car (at the SMOG place). Even with the stock filter housing, it sounds sooo nice :)
Thats not fair. Stop teasing and get those videos already. Your too slow for my liking. :orangelaugh:Quote:

okay well I took some videos and destroyed my camera in the process (literally) but I'm uploading them to the computer right now. I still have to edit them but I'll upload them to youtube after I'm done with that
edit: nevermind. These videos are terrible. You can barely even hear the car b/c it was so windy outside
excuses...excuses. lol j/k bro. What happened to the camera?
the camera tipped over during an in-car run. it still works fine, its just the automatic lens cover broke off. :( I made a compilation video anyway and I'll post that on youtube within the next hour
and here you go:

nice video... so we can see that u car run perfect without any problem...
but last time I drove a v6 galant that damn... I just pushed that gas... and easily start to bournout... its wasnt a big bournout.... but it was nice just pushing the gas pedal...!!!
so I was hoping to see something like that well should be more crazy wth the 6g74 engine huh...!!!
haha if i'm sitting and launch then I get some wheel spin
there u go thats what I was talking about...!!!
sorry for my english..!! ;(
haha its okay, you're improving a lot it seems
It sounds really good. Damn do these v6 projects make me wanna get a v6 and use my 4 cylinder as a daily. How much did you get the 74 for? (if you dont mind saying)
I picked it up for $450 which included:
-long block
-Intake manifolds, throttle body
-Exhaust manifolds and cats
-power steering, alternator, and AC brackets
-full thermostat and housing
-clipped engine harness (saved my ass on the TB)
I paid about $60-$80 in gas just to drive to the place and back, and luckily my friend didn't charge me to drive me in his truck
That sounds like a really good deal. I don't see myself doing anything rather huge for my 4 cylinder galant anytime soon and by that I mean boost. So i think a v6 with a 74 would be more than enough for now. What difference do you feel from the 72?
Might I add that I am looking for a v6 but looking for a cheap one where I don't spend too much on it. Kinda of like what Spd_frk got his for. One maybe with a engine problem or whatever where I can get it cheap and just get a 74 to drop in.
Some wheel spin? You should get A LOT if you launch hard enough. Ive spun threw the first 2 gears and chirp the tires in third in my Eclipse. Then again i have auto-stick.Quote:
