Now I know Leicoolya is turboed, but I'm curious how many other 8g galant's in the USA that are on this board, GF, Or GS are turboed right now, so that I can have a count.
Clay is, and I think one more is, but i dont remember his name
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/224725 just foudn this guys homepage on cardomain, maybe thats who you were thinking of because I've never seen him around here. My guess is he hangs at GS most of the time. Any more that anyone know about?
Wow I didnt know Ak1 was turbocharged. He needs to update his pics https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif
Last time I talked to AK1 he had sold his Galant...
Do you know if he had taken apart the turbo kit before he sold the g? Just curious so I can get an accurate count of who's turboed.
well i hope he didnt sell it cuz sumone had it at nopi last fall showin it.....i couldnt buy a car already built...but thas just me....his engine bay is sick in person btw
me too. I hope he didnt sell it. I havent talk to him for a long time now.
So That we know of there are three turboed galants from the 8th generation. AK1, Leicoolya, and Clay. Damn thats some mighty rare company that I hope to join someday as I'm sure 8ggalant does as well. Damn ain't that a trip 3 turboed usdm galants that we know of in America. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif
Do you want to count clay? His car is sick, obviously, but it's got an Evo motor, not the 6g72 or the 4g64

So far the only kits available that I have heard of are:
AAI (I4 only, V6 possible)
API (in development?)
XTech (Out of business)
Horsepower House (sent them an e-mail inquring about their setup)

[/quote :x :? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...fault/ohmy.gif How many times do you have to ask? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ult/tongue.gif I thought you read pretty much all the threads out here. Well I guess you must had missed them. Yes that has been my car since 2000 Why dont you ask my team members :!: :roll: Do I look like one of them Honda owners? no offense I wouldn't just stick them on for extra hp https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif c'mon now. If there is a part that I dont have anymore that will be the bottle ( nitrous ) c'uz I've been saving up for my project. Pretty much everything else is still intact.
Now, with my rims. This is what I roll most of the time = for pickin up the honeys :twisted: I have another set of rims anyways (J-Spec) when I use to go to the illegals & couple of times at the strip. Dont be fooled w/ them chrome rims though, Eventhough they weigh a ton, on our trip to Laughlin last year I was able to hang w/ my team members turbod I4, V6 Galants & a newer prelude 8) They will be able to prove it to you...
Pm me if you have any other questions!
Does Doug's Dyno only build custom turbo kits? Is anybody considering him? I've heard he uses T3/4 turbos, but it seems to me that if you were going to run twins on a v6 (which would be nice) that keeping it small would be the best way to go on stock internals, maybe see if he'll do something with like a t25 or maybe a small 16g...
DJ Galant parted out his setup last time I heard...
Dj Galant did too? wow anybody confirm that. Fast you live over near him, you ever talk to him? Also who's turboed I4 are you talking about that you rolled with to Laughlin?
He didnt part the kit but he's running bone stock now again c'uz he said if nobody's interested , he will just keep it for his next project car!
Wolfman, I am talking bout the same guy Dj Galant.
Thanks Fast.
So we have at the present moment in the USA,
Those Turboed on Original USDM 4G64 or 6G72 motor :

For your information, here is the email I got back from Horsepower house:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Andrew Kung <[email protected]>
I apologize but we do not have a kit for the V6 models. And for the 4 Cylinder versions we only do in-house installation and fabrication on the turbo kits.
The 4 cylinder kit that we use consists of:
- Cast Turbo Manifold (Mits. flange)
- TD05 16G Turbo (Internal wastegate)
- Custom downpipe & 02 Housing
- Spearco intercooler & Custom Piping
- Oil feed & return lines
- BOV
- Walbro 255 lph Fuel Pump
- Adjustable FPR
- 550cc Injectors
- Custom turbo intake pipe & filter
- Autronic Standalone EMS & Boost Control Valve
- Boost Gauge
*Custom fabrication needed for installation of 02 Housing & Downpipe clearance.
*Recommend complete build of engine (forged pistons & rods) and installation of aftermarket transmission bulletproof kit & torque converter
Thanks.</div>
Add me to the list of "Planning to Turbo in the near Future", however this is not my first mod i'm currently working with the guys at Intercrew in Plano, Tx. on Pricing and Plans for the V6 Auto - Manual tranny swap. i'm think'n round 2500 for that.
I Read a little while ago (months ago), that some australian co. was working on a Twin Turbo kit? is this true? if so for the V6?

I Read a little while ago (months ago), that some australian co. was working on a Twin Turbo kit? is this true? if so for the V6?</div> Twin Turbo kit for The USDm Galants or JDM galants? Twisted was thinking about a twin turbo but didn't because of many different reasons for which he'll have to explain. 2500 is alot of money I am sure you can do it for cheaper. Pretty sure its a breeze liek Vtec Killers was with the I4 but hey more power to ya to get it done right and if you can get a warranty even more power to ya.
one big reason for the cost is the fact that no one has ever heard of this kind of swap before at any of the local shops. So it's a one of a kind thing as far as they are concerned. I trust these guys the most because they did a great job on my buddies JDM B16A2 Engine-Tranny Swap, and his Rev-Hard Stage 3 Turbo Kit.

If so thats probably pretty good, It is really simple on paper. Because you just grab the Tranny/components from a stock Eclipse GT v6 or GTS V6 and the ECU. Everything should line up okay. Good luck with it.
yeah, RPW wanted to get a twin turbo kit out, and thats what i was building my motor for. they were in contact with me and the shop last summer. their plan was to ship us 2 TT kits for the Mitsu Magna over in australia, and we were going to custom fab both kits to work on the USDM galants. i would send one kit back, so they could produce it, and i would keep one. only problem was they wanted to charge me full price for the kit, even though i would be custom fabbing both kits to fit on USDM galants. and, i would only have a month or so, cuz they wanted me at the NOPI Nats last sept. so it was kinda bogus. i'm sure they will think up something and get a kit released soon. the kit will only be to the intercooler. all other piping will hafta be made by a local shop during install.
Gotta keep in mind there are many Galant owners who don't even know TGC exists. I talked with a 7G owner at a car show who had a nice turbo setup, he said he had it awhile. Told him to come to the site, but never did see him join.
