im trying to turbo my galant so i found someone thats parting out a 1997 gst eclipse and hes selling the turbo ,manifold intercooler ,hard pipe with bov, and the rest of the turbo piping for 200 ,would you guy say thats a good deal and what else would i need to get or do to turbo to run 7lbs on an auto trans galant ?
the side mount intercooler not gonna be enough intercooler. Also the pipes are backwards on the gst compared to the 8g
so the intercooler wont be able to boost 7lbs? so im not understanding the not enough intercooler ?but i can get pipes made no big deal
You could use the side mount for 5-7ish lbs, but honestly its better to just go with a fmic, your GOING to want change it out later. Boost is like crack once you have some you want more and you will quckly out grow that side nount
oh ok but i also found some 390cc injectors for 40 bucks with the fuel rail would that do for m\y setup and do i have to change my head gasket etc before turbo?
and any suggestions on a tuning method and someone to tune it for me ?
there are PLENTY of people here who has gone turbo. There are also PLENTY of threads concerning boost. Even a WHOLE SUBFORUM for turbo/supercharger/etc.
Grab a drink, maybe a snack, and sit down. You have a lot of reading to do.
BTW 390cc injectors are not near big enough to run 7psi safely.
SAFC or MAFT (or both) is good for starters. You need 450cc to start with and then move on to bigger as the addiction takes place
450cc it is any ideas how i can run my oil lines for the turbo ?
and thanks for all the help ive read alot of the posts but alot of those things dont help when its not specific
I think the 8g has the oil fitting on the head or some like this, if not that you can always split the oil pressure sensor with a T and run the oil feed from there. Its a 1/8 npt thread
i think the 7g and 8g have the same motor setup except the 8g is dis but the other parts might be the same
The 7g and 8g block is the same, just the heads are mirrored
sorry for sounding ignorant but whats mirrored and where can i get the rest of the parts i need for a reasonable price ?
I run the oil feed off of my OFH via adapter plate. I also have my Oil PSI sender coming from there.
ofh is oil filter housing right
and where can i get the adapter from?
would this work for the setup

It will work, but I dont trust it. Ive seen one of these kits and parts quality crappy.
do you know anywhere where i can get a good quality kit and something to tune the car with
i guess no one knows where they got their stuff from
Most everyone that has turboed their G doesnt have a kit. They piece it together. Search here and on club3g there is a ton of info. Good luck to you.
You can do the piggy-back controllers as MAFT and SAFC or you can swap to Evo8 ECU or have Isaurio flash you a new rom
i think you hav to source out your own kit for upgrades
thats alot of options for the tune but the biggest issue is figuring out which one is the easiest to tune
easiest in my opinion would be evo 8 ecu with ecu flash since theres so many evos its easier to find a local tuner that tunes evos. you would need a conversion harness from BHM: http://blackheartmotors.net/store/in...&products_id=4Quote:

Although if you get Isaurio to flash your oem ecu maybe you can tune for boost and save some money
Let me fix your question. Which one is easiest to setup. "hardware" ? A tune is a tune no matter what ECU or ROM you are using, a pro tuner will use the same skills in all platform. Is all up to you how you want to setup your system.Quote:

2. Eclipse ECU with Evo ROM. You still need a conv harness.
since you staying with the AUTO trani. You will need a dual ECU/PCM conversion harness them.
eclipse manual ECU you could find them cheap, you just need a evo rom with a immob delete to get you rolling.
this option should be your last thing on the list.
Get all the turbo parts, every single bolt. do some research on how much HP and goals you want to accomplish. Them after you get all the turbo parts. Think about the ECU and tune. hint hint.
thanks for all the great advice the hardest thing for me is that im the only one in jacksonville doing this to a galant since most of the people doing this are in orlando :( but hopefully i will get to meet some of you guys when the next meet is close to me
but first step im getting ready for is a full engine rebuild as my engine has 115k on it so ill rebuild it then break it in for about 10-15k miles and then turbo
