7g turbo diesel from Poland

Hi I'm new here. I want to shere with you with my project

Plan:
- Swap from 4D68T to 4G63
- Install a turbo from EVO (don't have idea wich one first I must swap engine and than I'll thing about it)
- 4WD swap

My dad bought a 7g galant after 2 years he damaged cooling fan and after that he blow up a head cylinder... My dad parked him on a front yard and forgot about him for 3 years. 2 years ago he decided to scrap him so I decided to give him another chance and it all started

Specification:
Engine: 4D68T 2.0TD 8v, old diesel everything is mechanical 90PS, 197Nm
Transmission: 5 speed manual ( like the most of galants in europe)

My dad had a little crash with Ford Transit so he looks like this

I bought head cylinder from Mitsubishi Space Wagon and a new coolin fan.
I needed to do something with brakes because eveything fall in to rust after 3 years
So I started regeneration

next step was war with rust
All front of the car was full of holes, thresholds where rotted from half of front door to the end

Fixing this things took 2 months

And I installed new front bumper from V6 model with a little lip

And than i started to think what to do with engine he got low compression and cylinders are almost eliptic so I decided about swap there where a lot of options 3.0 V6 24v from a Mitsubishi Sigma in US called Magna, a 2.5 V6 from 7generation Galant (E88A) or 2.0 4G63 from 1g Eclipse ( 4G63T is unable to find in Poland in good condition)
I decided to swap for 4G63 6 bolt and install a turbo to him now I'm looking for one.

This is my 4D68T

Thanks for reading and sorry for my english :)

wow dude thats awesome! I had no idea there was a diesel engine in the 7g galant!

looking good complete restorations are always fun. i kinda want a diesel now to put in my 7g.

Diesel > Gas

convert to bio, the g will smell like french fries............

hehe in Poland you can buy a diesel 7g for hmmm... 900dolars? heh
14sek from 0 to 60
And it's no tunable you can do what you want with it and it will never reach 100HP heh

It's pure JDM model in my country you can find also this versions:
1.8 4 cylinder 113HP (E52A)
2.0 4 cylinder 132HP (it's 4G63 SOHC) (E55A)
2.0 V6 150HP (E54A)
2.5 V6 170HP 4x4 4ws non-turbo (E88A)
and some time's are your 2.4 4 cylinder US version

2.0 V6 Twin Turbo VR4 <-- there is probably no such a car in whole my coutry it's like myth for as

I saw that a most of 7g on this forum is US version with 4G64 or legendary for my VR4

This diesel is old construction from older galants in 6 generation this engine was 1.8 non turbo in 7g is 2.0 turbo and in 8generation it's allso 2.0 turbo diesel

You don't need to convert it to bio this engine will go on everything

Ohh and I got another interesting info my car is 1992 year heh the JDM Galant were in production from dicember 92 to latte 96

dude this is an awesome thread! thanks for sharing. you really turned that beast around into the beautiful machine it should be, good job man...

ya but a diesel will last forever and ever and ever and ever.

There is still a lot of work to do.. I need to do something with that floor and a next thing is engine swap to 6g galant GTI engine (4G63 non turbo 6bolt) I'll be probably first owner of 7g galant with 4G63 DOHC engine in central europe.

If there is any questions about JDM Galants I can try to hellp

I must say you people got in US version beautiful taillights

In my model if you look closer you see that we don't have brake ligts on the trunk we got fog lights in there...
http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/2...8630651.th.jpg

I'm thinking about change to US version taillights and install a fog light in rear bumper

allrice4g64 that's true if you don't push it to much it will ride for ages... there nothing that can broke up in this engine it's a simple construction there is no throttle body, no electic, ECU is only for glow plugs, injection pump is on timing belt...

Nice plans u got :)

haha i'm glad you think we have beautiful tailights. personally i always thought they were OK....but nothing compares to JDM tails (see my sig pic)

if you want I have a full set of USDM taillights that i would sell for cheap; i want to get rid of them. only thing is they are niteshaded:
http://socallifestyle.com/ebay/tails1.jpg

No thanks I got a lot of other stuff to do now like floor or engine... Are you got some photos of JDM lights at night? They look really nice I must think about them but it will be really hard to find the JDM lights

best i have at night

Bardzo wadne auto!! :)

Dziekuje :)

Welcome! you've done some great work!

i like that steering wheel a lot....love the accordian shift boot too lol

hehe almost everything is OEM :) only water temperature gauge is changed to auto gauge smoke series gauge and radio is a Pionier ( probably it's older than this car hehe )

My new water temp. gauge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBkt_iOkM20

wauu, i never have seen or hear about a diesel galant, take a video, i want to listen it :D


100%nice!

There're some videos in first post :)

Yeah at last new engine

I got 3 engine mounts from the 4D68T and 1 mount from timing belt side from older 6generation galant gti I hope it going to fit with this mounts

after painting :)

whoa that looks awesome. i was thinking about getting my valve cover powder coated in black, but that finish looks amazing

I was thinking about powder coated it in a same blue color that your car is but my valve cover is in poor condition so I decided to paint it only and wait for some money for new one but now I think I'll stay with silver one... I hope I'll swap this engine before new year... We'll see

Really nice 7G you got there, makes me miss my old 7G Hatchback.....

Swap is almost completed but I think that it's not what interest you people most
becouse in US a 4G63 in 7g galant it's nothing new so i upload some of my old 4D68T photos :)

90% of swap done I only must install ECU, fuel filter and alternator belt I hope the first start up will be in next week :)

Today I was fighting with hot air gun to take off the sound deadening padds on the floor...
After 3h I finished one side of a car

And I found another hole in my car ehh... this car is like cheese... Green part of floor is new because of rust... after I do something with that hole that I found today I'll repaint all floor and I'll install new sound deadening padds

Hi!

I had a lot of problems with 4G63 engine and 4D68T tranny setup

the starter did not reach the flywheel I was trying to find bigger 6 bolt flywheel but I did not find anything so I decided to drill the tranny starter holes

It was a lot of work but now everything fits perfectly now I'm trying to start the engine
today it started for about 3 sek on a fuel sprayed in to the intake so probably something is wrong with fuel system... (fuel pump is ok) tomorrow I'll try to look how injectors work

in comparson, your car's probably a myth in itself over here, I had no idea Galants came in diesel past the third or fifth generation

good to have you over here in any case, good luck with the AWD swap and evo engine swap

after 8generation they stop to put diesels in galants :)

This is a 8g turbo diesel :) EA6A :)

^^ Fap.

oakrdrs187 It was about a diesel in galant?
I can tell you that is not a good engine :)
The most of 4D68T after 150k miles have problems with compression

Engine don't like to go higher then 3000 rpm because they like to blow the headgasket if you ride like that for long time ( when you go 80mph on 5gear you got 3000rpm )

Good engine for an old man :)

It's nothing like your american diesel cars :) I know american cars with diesel engines are allmost indestructible :) But this little JDM diesel is not like them so I decided to go for 4G63 swap :)

Sorry for my English :)

I <3 turbo diesel powered cars.

No idea diesels were ever offered in 7Gs and 8Gs. Too bad they're weak by what info you're going on.

I know the diesel German cars (usually the MKIV Golfs and Jettas...or Bora for you Euros. ;) ) are a hoot to drive, and live forever. :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Wszyc?feature=mhee <--My channel you can find some of films of my 4D68T :)

as far as your starter issue, you have to make sure you have the correct starter and flywheel combination. FWD flywheel is a little larger than the AWD flywheel, but both will bolt up to the crank on your engine.

Also FWD starter will have shorter teeth than the AWD starter. soo make sure if your car is FWD you have both FWD starter and flywheel

FWD = front wheel Drive
AWD = All wheel Drive

Also, if you are using the same tranny as the 4d68t, the gear ratios will probably be the same for the 4g63. Meaning, when you get to 80, your engine will still be revving 3000k. I would suggest if you are going for power and speed go with a tranny originally matched up with a performance 4g63. Here in the US. we have Eclipses that have 4g63t's and they have different gear ratios than the Galant with 4g64's. 64's have a larger first gear, than the eclipse turbo's. Mainly so the Eclipses could spool the turbo sooner. I opted to go with the Galant 5spd. Hope this makes sense.

I got FWD flywheel, and FWD starter but have 6bolt from 6g galant GTi and 7g 4D68T tranny mayby something is different from petrol 7g tranny one thing was different: I read that the E56A, E55A engine mount will fit to 4G63 DOHC but it was to short.. But lucky to me diesel engine mount fits perfectly... diesel tranny is also bigger than AWD tranny so mayby there is more things we don't know...

About gear ratios: I know I want to make my 7g AWD so this tranny is here not for long
but first thing to do will be add a turbo to my 4G63 N/A... I know I know it's a lot of money problably more than 4G63T cost but it's really hard to find 4G63T in my country
