where be all the turbos?

**Fastgalants** · 11-09-2002, 03:38 PM

Where the hell can i find a turbo kit for a 2000 galant 2.4L? The Galant Center used to have at least 3 kits in their parts list but that's down right now. anyone got info? thanx.

oh yeah...is there a way to take out the headlights to remove the amber sidemarker peice without taking off the front bumper? i heard it was the only way...i hope not.

CliptheApex · 11-09-2002, 04:36 PM

about the corner lights....alls you have to do is pop your hood and take them out they are kind of on the side...you dont need to take off the bumper to get the headlights out either

4 banger turbo...hmmmm I believe Doug's Dyno still makes them, only source I know of now that MPH is gone.

**pinoyesv6** · 11-10-2002, 03:55 PM

nobody makes em *inset evil laugh here* many of the kits are custom made if there were for the galant. if you want the closest thing to a kit either do a serach on club 3g or on google for a turbo kit for the i4 2000+ eclipse. they share enough that u can use most of the parts without modifications

**HeadAche** · 11-11-2002, 07:33 PM

THey place that i know of that have a I-4 TC is www.visionimports.com, even though they need a test ride for prototyping they have one done.. Besides that, u could always Frankenstein one out of a 2g Eclipse or Talon..lol

**Fastgalants** · 11-11-2002, 07:46 PM

thanx for the info guys.

btw, i talked to a guy who just bought a new lancer (slow one not evo VII) and sent it to some place called sou-cal motorsports or something like that in calif. they turned it into a freaking evo VII with a 6spd. 300hp turbo 2.0L and AWD. all this for around 8grand. anyone heard of this place? wonder if they do galants...

We are working on a 4cyl SDS which should be done in a few weeks. It will feature all parts in the 6cyl kit. We are hoping for 100HP gain.

8 grand is str8 up bullshit unless u get the parts for free or something. labor alone will be 8 grand or more. then u have the motor, the turbo, the tranny and all that other good stuff to not only put power to the front wheels but also the rear...

Hmm... I'll post a picture of DJGalant's I4 turbo. He's from Vegas. I forgot to ask him where he got it done but I'm sure his post is still in this forum.

Here's his turbo:

AK1 · 11-12-2002, 11:45 PM

I'm alive !

I've never seen DJ Galant's setup till now, and it's refreshing to know that it's similar. He's using a Turbonetics Deltagate II external wg. though instead of my crappy internal and he's running a 16g turbo but that will still push some air especially for a street car. Here's my old setup just for comparisons sake, it's a bad angle but if you look closely it's very similar. Very nice Marcin! Remember, it's a very challenging but rewarding game we're playing here.

It'll be a cast tube header with my new setup, we're just trying to do more research on the turbo/wastegate flanges and flow. I could possibly be switching out my 18g again.

**Fishboy55** · 11-13-2002, 06:18 AM

Come On AK, cut it out!!! Everytime I see pics of your car I drool all over my keyboard.

She is looking mighty sweet man. Great job!!!

**Fastgalants** · 11-20-2002, 07:46 PM

thanx guys for the replys. i figured the lancer guy was full of shit. plus, he told me only his wife drove it. pleeeeaaaaase. if i had a f--king evoVII, no one would touch that thing but your's truly.

also...does anyone have any info about clipping front springs? all i want to do is drop the front of my galant a little but don't want to break the bank over some springs or coilovers. any ideas? thanx

Cant you use brackets that compress the springs down making the car lower ?????

cutting springs, heating them up, all very bad. if you want something cheap, offer a fat guy a ride to mcdonalds or something.

**Fastgalants** · 11-21-2002, 08:11 PM

so i guess the best way is to just buy some front springs, eh? figures seeing as it would be pretty easy to screw up and end up having them uneven making my car lean one way or something. thanks

I'll tell you what that exhaust manifold is off a 1g eclipse, Im doing the same project as we speak. So far I spent alittle over 500 for:

14b, bov, manifold
hks jdm elec boost controller
obx fpr with gauge
and a few other things

The hardest part is getting the oil feed/return lines I think.

Feel free to holla at me for updates
