Galant306m's turbo build

[Silvertune]

Permacool sandwiches are back in stock at summit Mitch. That's what I ended up buying.

Fix yer shit so we can cruise this summer!

[Galant306m]

working on it fasty, and I will check summit out! What was the size you bought for your car?

[Silvertune]

PRM-182 I am fairly certain... It's the 2.5", none of that thermostat bullshit. Just make sure you get it with an M20 adapter unless you already have one. Mine came with an M18 so I reused the one from my prosport sandwich that I had almost three years ago.

[Galant306m]

Thats what i needed is the m20 or was it m22 haha ill order one on friday and maybe start the car next week

[Silvertune]

M20

Bought a oil filter sandwich from summit racing but it seems to large for my ofh, decided to use the eBay one but the adapter was larger the the hole. Here was my fix.

More cursed actions from the galant, got my oiling system all setup, so I started swaping out the rod bolts. Not an easy task so say the least, put them in the freezer over night to make them shrink tap the old ones out, the drop a new one in line it up and use the nut to pull it through. Get through that and start putting the acl's in, looks like they sent me undersized bearing instead of oversized so there is way to much clearance. Set back but going to get my wiring all fixed up in the meantime while I wait for the new set.

So there is no direct fit sandwich available? Looks like you have gone through a few and went to great extremes to fit. I need one but don't want to go through all that.

[Galant306m]

Just couldn't get them to send me the right thread so in found one and modified the other one. Actually It only took me about 9 mins to make that hole bigger and that was waiting for my machine to boot up. Just did it on my lunch Friday.

Why use a samich in first place?

[Galant306m]

Because our ofh drops oil off when under load it diverts to the filter this way I keep ample power. Look at the design of the thing it's not meant for a turbo

ISK Mitch, I've never seen any drops of pressure on my gauge when under load.

[Galant306m]

What gasket are you using? There are a couple different styles. One blocks two holes (that's the one i have) and the other has no holes blocked. This was my main issue and having the sandwich eliminates this from happening. I will know more once my new bearings come in tomorrow and i get to try out the new setup. Hoping for the best and that I don't have to rip this engine out again to see what was making the noise I had after the turbo blew up.

[Galant306m]

Welp new bearings came in today, plastigage says my clearance is. 0035" so I threw the oil pan back on got my o2 housing and exhaust put back up, oil drain for the turbo is back on. Just need to check my timing once again, adjust my balance shaft timing cause it's off 180°. Button it back up and start it we will see what happens!

Finally! :)

[Galanttuner10]

still surprised you never deleted the balance shafts. Good luck with it

[Galant306m]

i was just talking about this tonight with a friend and they might be coming out. Something is up with my oil pump its making some noise so im going to probably have to replace it and that means ill most likely do the delete at the same time. I'm wondering if some of the turbo pieces that i found in the oil got in there and messed it up or what, but that is going to come out and im going to do a water pump while im at it because for some reason i didnt do the water pump when i had the engine out and now its seeping out of the weep hole.

[Galant306m]

Well if my bike ever sells I can take this off of being on hold from being laid off.

Tired of looking at this stupid thing just sitting around
going to do the balance shaft delete for sure now and probably a new oil pump

Or part most of it out and go to an evo i have yet to decide ha

[Ivory8g]

Oh if you go evo you will still miss the galant I bet. It will be like that lurking thing that you never got to finish!
