Can a galant be a 10 second car with the v6 dohc engine thats in it?
As of yet, I dont think anyone has gone ten seconds yet in a USDM 8G. Better take it to Toretto's shop maybe he can hook it up.

^you got that from the fast and the furious https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif
But, I've said it before and i'll say it again "If you have the time and money anything could be done"
hold on. whoa there. what are you doing with a factory dohc motor in an 8g. tell us more about your non usdm galant since the usdm 8g's only came with a sohc motor.

Love the mind of a noob. That should be the greatest TGC question of 2006.

If you can't find what your looking for using the Search menu Mr. Elk River. You Dont belong in a galant. 10 Seconds and still street legal is pushing it. Like stated above anything's possible with time and money.
it also depends on how loosely you use the term "street legal". do you mean racing tires? Alot of the fast 3g guys are using big 17 or 18" rims with drag radials, their cars arent much lighter then ours. I would say to make an 8g run a 10 sec pass, any 10 sec pass, 10.999 you would probably need a nice set of DOT drag radials (if thats what you call street legal) and about 550-650whp. this is assuming, ballpark with a car and driver that weighs about 3350-3400lbs. the rule of thumb is every 100lbs of weight equals .1 sec on your 1/4 mile ET.

all that and ONE GLORIOUS PASS, under the most ideal track conditions, air temp, altitude, etc...
You could make a Galant run ten seconds but you are going to need the cash as stated above. Whenever you want to get together and rob tractor trailers let me know. Lets look for ones that have Rodgers on the side. Those ones are filled with DVD players.
are you the going to slide under the trailer or you going into the cab with the tranq darts?

with the money required to build the motor and tranny, you could definitely build the V6 into 10 seconds

Somebody photoshop galants into those two pictures....It'll be hilarious!!!!
I was more asking if anyone on these forums has a galant thatfast and a "10second car" doesnt just come from fast and the furious. But anyways.....
but anyways...tell us more about your v6 dohc motor...

Is your goal to have a 10sec 8g Galant? Which motor are you using? People wanting 10sec cars comes from the fast and the furious, bunch of ricers.
12s is more realistic. You dont see very many street legal FWD 10second cars driving around.
Well theres that money factor again, you said your 16 so im assuming you dont have much money. To get a 10 sec. car is gonna take (and this is a quess) about 8-10k in just performance parts and your galant is not worth that much.But your car can be fast wihout being a "10 sec car" Ask the people who did the 4g63t swap
OK so ya im a complete noob to cars but hey i chose a galant didn't I? so that must count for something with you guys. But you were all noobs at first to im sure but anyway another "noob" quistion. What is faster twin turbo or supercharger. and can you put twin turbos on our engine?
You can twin turbo a riding lawn mower if you heart desired. Its all about money and knowledge my friend, money and knowledge...
I dont think anyone has put a twin in the USDM Galant. But in the Galants mother land, thats how the VR4s Galants come.

God Im crap at photo editing !
Oh well - kinda funny though. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif (Sorry DANJ - hope you dont mind your car being used)
If you have about $7K, RPW has a twin turbo kit for the 6G72 motor. I believe Twisted was supposed to be the prototype, but that fell through.
I think they were also experimenting with a roots type blower also?
Yeah, RPW was also doing a Roots blower similar to the Alpina one on the Tiburon - that too, apparently has stalled.Quote:

you have a V6 SoHC, thats good enough. I mean why would you spent more money than your car already worth, just go by a eclispe or something. I dont think Twin Turbo a Grocery getter is a very good idea.
Galant = a family sedan. drive it stock, thats what i do. :wink:
Dont listen to this guy^ :roll:Quote:

lol the kid is 16. its better to tell him to save his money than to keep dreaming about twin turboing his car.
its a Galant. we're already at a disadvantage compared to other midsized family sedans. sure you can make it fast, but for your age, unless you gets an allowance of $2k a month, you cant make your car a 10 sec car.
at 16, you probably have a part time job that brings in $300 a month, so you can rice out your car like all the other 16 yr olds. $100 intake from ebay. $200 spoiler from ebay. $400 body kit from ebay. $100 muffler. $50 strut bar. $600 rims. that should keep you busy for a year

A 2g awd is heavier then a 7g and it might even be heavier then an 8g, if not its close. an evo is heavier then 7g's and 8g's. granted they have awd, but if you were running slicks and a lsd, it wouldnt be that huge of a disadvantage, maybe .3 secs.Quote:

I honestly think that if you built the car right, maybe 500whp motor, 5 speed, LSD, good suspension, and slicks. and..im not done yet, and if you got rid of all the unecessary things like your spare tire, the 10 speakers and 4 amps in your trunk, tv's in your headrest, etc. get rid of it all, and if your a good driver, you could run a 10 sec pass, a 10.99 is still a "10 sec pass"...ohhh and wait...this is all contingent on the track conditions being right, you having the right octane fuel, the wind at the right mph and direction and the air in your tires at the right pressure. hmm but yes, it COULD be done.....ohh and i forgot to mention.. these are mitsu trannies, you might need a few extra to complete your quest.
Thing is i bought the car for 12k and i have around 7k in the bank, im thinking i might do twin turbo if i can get it cheap from my dads work they were saying 4k for it then body kit 1k then catback exhaust 750 then rims like 1k. thats what im thinking of doing and thats all including instalation from his company. As far as eclipses go if i wanted an eclipse i would buy one but they arent any faster except manauls and they look gay. galants are imo one of the best looking cars once you get a body kit on it.
dude, honestly, do with it what you wish. My car was only $5,000 that why I invested soo much in performance parts, if my car was $12,000 I wouldnt have bought it.
here's the problem with your money spending problem.
lets say you do get all of this. it's running great, you're going down the highway and boom! there goes a cylinder, altenator, or your clutch. Now, since you spent all of your money, what do you use to fix it? Besides that, you didn't take into account the money for the paint on that stupid body kit. Or not that I want it to happen, but what if you get into an accident? It's all gone. No money. You have to leave yourself money if something happens so you can get it fixed.
Save you money for a car that is better, or do all of that ebay stuff quoted that QNZ said.
Steve
What kind of car do you think is better than? IMO i would rather buy a car for say 22k then put 15k of performance parts or so into it rather than buying a 45k mercedes. the 22k car with 15k put into it would more than likely be faster
3000gt vr4
there's something about taking a $900 car (KBB value for my car) and having it outrun 6spd G35s......
6g Galant VR4!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(seth98esT)</div><div class='quotemain'>6g Galant VR4!</div>
I agree, especially since they can be found around my area for $3000-5000
Besides, what fool would slap a turbo on a family car :twisted:

Idk, youd have to be pretty darn retarded to do so
:TGC:
Kind of goes back to what we were talking about before it doesnt matter what kind of car you have anything can be fast. whether its a minivan or a toyota supra
