its totally an ebay one. mine looks just like it!
ebay one that i re welded and polished the ports at work. i had it sent though penetration which shows any problems with the welds under a black light with some green die crap lol and then welded the spots that where week or would leak.Quote:

Ive yet to adjust it because she doesnt drive the car much and if she does drive it she cant push it past 3k rpm without the stock POS intake pipes blowing off. Were waiting on her to save up for a FMIC and piping. Youll want to look out for that and adjust in small increments.
No magnafluxing is where you take a fine powder and magnetize a piece of steal, the powder will stick to any cracks. Penatrent uses a die that is green and will seep through any bad welds or any voids in the steal.Quote:

Dual JDM intarfooler setup FTW!
even says jdm
JDM = "Just Damn Macho"
Last pic, right next to the dip stick - theres a bolt that proly will snap later on. You needz a mitsu bolt right there
its a grade 8 metric bolt shouldnt have a problem with it.Quote:

Also just a heads up, the with the extreme heat and vibration of our engines, its not just the welds that fail on thin tubular manifolds. The piping itself can develop cracks and fail. Just make sure your downpipe is secured to the block in the OEM mounting point. there are very few manifolds out there that can handle the weight of a turbo, o2 housing, and downpipe.... as well as the exhaust system swinging around, and the engine torquing against it.
secure the downpipe to the block, and use all polyurethane exhaust hangers(to keep exhaust motion and vibration to a minimum).
Also doesn't hurt to use prothane motor mounts for a million reasons.

Its the highest grade metric bolt (grade 12 for metric) I doubt that i will have a problem with the damn bolt. I can see and under stand your point with the manifold, but the bolt is under little strain and im pretty sure that it is made out A2 tool steel which most high grad bolts are and if you look up the uses from that type of steel you will see that they use if for stuff that takes more abuse then a bolt mounting a 02 housing on a turbo.
more parts came today, I got my clutch, brake, and gas pedal, 1g cas, 2g coil ignition, and my 2g water pipe.

What muffler is that?
Nice build, Can't wait to hear how this all turns out...
I cut a ton of shit off that bumper. to make that FMIC fit, and the grill is staying out.
My muffler is a magnaflow. I can get the part number for you, if you want cause it really does sound good on the galant. I would show you but yea lol car has starting issues right now :( .
Thanks phizz. I can't wait for it to start up again.
Where are you stuck at? Lets get this pig running.
not stuck, added the wires for my ignition coil yesterday and the wire's for my knock sensor. my friend has a two 2g fuel rails for me to use. Got to mount the ignition on my manifold swap fuel pumps this week, put my front end suspension stuff on and get a differant slave cylinder because it is missing the little push arm somehow and i didnt notice it. get some lines for the cluch and do my pedals.Quote:

Yeah thats mine 7'' round x 18'' long body magnaflow resonator. I havent installed it yet
