Scott's Galant bout time i made one of these
mmkay so sadly i don't have many in progress pics but ill dig up the ones i have soon for now ill just do a quick runthrough of what I've done, what i want to do and what I'm currently doing.
Got the G back in 2009 right as I moved to mass. did the first few things everyone does CAI, coilovers, subs, headunit, roof mount tv,.......underbody neons, 17" excel rims, and a few other small mods. But there just wasn't enough get up and go in this car for me so i started researching what i could do and how...and luckily have a family garage that does aftermarket performance on cars.
so the next step was to turbo it spent about 3months gathering parts while busting my ass at work. and in january of 2010 started the project took me approx 1-1/2 weeks to finish turboing it then another week to get it right. But it just wasn't enough and i had issues cause i didn't use any engine management and stock ecu+boost=epic fail. so summer 2010d while patrolling the j/y i found a 99 4cyl sonata with a missing valve cover and the head full of water......jackpot....got the head and i/m w/ tb and everything for 100$ even cleaned up the head checked for leaks nothing. just win. so i started putting it on. then when i attempted to use the sonata coilpacks with my ecu my ecu got fried. went to the j/y pulled another galant ecu and what do you know that ones fried already. So fed up i bought an evo8 ecu and started wiring it...couldn't afford boomslang.
finally finish setting it up dual ecu style and lookit that it works i actually got the frikin wiring right i was amazed. Then when i was adding knock sensor and a few other thing a couple pin on the stock ecu got pulled out and now my shifting is starting to go all crazy on me and my maf dies. Picked up a evo 8 maf for 50$ another good deal that fixed half my problems but still shifted like crap not to mention the auto just cant handle the boost i was putting down so it was time for 5-speed, so late 2010 picked up a tranny for keith on tgc with multiple swap parts grab the other few things i needed and got started on that swap took me about 10days to do this swap because of some complications and doing it outside in the freezing rain but finished it and the car was back up and running this time with minimal problems...but about a month later and considerable amounts of boost i started to notice some major oil burning going on whenever i cold started my car damnit.
so i started buying up parts to rebuild the head. pulled it early 2011 fully rebuilt it with all new stuff and studs and put it back on the car...and lookit that burning just as much oil as ever...piston rings *facepalms*. so i took a short break from trying to fix the engine. bought a cyber gt body kit and some new rims about 2weeks ago.
