Laxin's Turbo Build

[seth98esT]

Really? What clutch do you have? Im rocking the $80 OEM Exedy for a 2g(Probably same p/n for a 7g) and it doesnt slip at 22psi on a 14b. Ive had this clutch since February '07 without issues.

Thats if you need a cheap fix(Think I paid $86 locally for clutch disc and pressure plate).

[laxinwarrior]

It's the stock replacement, been on the car for over 80,000 miles though.

[glantv699]

maybe if you didn't go around beating up on 8G's your clutch would show you more love

sounds like seth has a good replacement plan, just hit that up

[laxinwarrior]

Cry baby......

[kolio]

you love the way my clutch feels, time to get it yourself

[laxinwarrior]

Yeah I do. Which one is it exactly Chris? Also if my clutch gives out before I'm done building my new motor I'll probably go the route Seth did since I won't have the money for an upgraded clutch.

P.S. There might be a video or two popping up in the next week.... If George isn't too embarrassed to post them. :P

man turbo is the way to go!! and not to mention twin turbo even better!!

I'll probably get the 3.2 if I get it. The slipping isn't bad though. So far it only slips in 2nd at WOT once it hits boost, no other time. Oh well, I'll live.

[kolio]

wow i wonder what that feels like compared to mine. when i start making more power i'll change the disk

[laxinwarrior]

Ok so as a birthday present I think i'm going to go get some dyno time next week. Plus I only have one month left to make sure everything is legal for emissions.

[run1206]

im hoping after my refund comes in, i'll be able to finish up my build and go to a dyno as well.
let us know how it comes out 8)

[laxinwarrior]

Alright so if funds permit I might be going to the dyno ...

[laxinwarrior]

Next project coming up is going to be the ecu swap. Quick question, Seth how much of a pain was it to wire in the 2g CAS? The reason I ask is because I still haven't been able to find anyone that has swapped ecu's in a galant while staying SOHC. I know the 2g spyder guys have done the swap without problem so i'm sure it can be done. Either way i'll be going over the wiring diagrams and will post up anything I find and if need be do a writeup on the swap or confirm if it is the same as the swap to the DOHC CAS.

[laxinwarrior]

Ok, here's what I found so far:

4g64 from syder with CAS:



4g64 from galant with distributor:



Sorry for the big ass pic ... Don't know how to resize it.

Anyone feel like helping me brainstorm?

[WarmAndSCSI]

Hey, if the bolt pattern and the key on the end of the camshaft are the same, you're all set. I would just unbolt your distributor and find out.

[seth98esT]

Shouldnt be a problem, I think Tom here is going to try it. The 7g and 2g Spyder head should be the same. Swapping ECUs for me wasnt too bad, just follow JiPs tutorial.

[spdracr]

this is way off topic and such a noob question but is it true that the 2000 ecu is not flashable ???

thanks and sorry for my question but u guys are the experts and I just wanna know

I'll answer your question, but not before pointing out that Laxin doesn't even OWN an 8G...

The 1999-2000 ECU is indeed not flashable at this point.

[laxinwarrior]

I have absolutely no experience with the 8g ecu's but from everything i've been told the 99-00 ecu's are not able to be flashed. Not too sure on the 01 and I think the 02-03 can be. Anyone with an 8g can give you better info though.

Back on topic: ( I really hope I don't jinx myself again.) Car is getting on the dyno friday at 4:30.

And since no one has posted this up yet, i'll do it for myself:



Edit: Damn you TJ I was trying to be smart.:p
