Alright so it has begun. I have been lurking in the shadows while piecing everything together and now its time to reveal my master plan.
My 7g will be undergoing a major transformation in the next couple of months to a year.

The Plan:
5 spd swap
rear disc swap
tokico suspension kit
cleared corner head lights
and last but not least
the installation of the turbo setup

so far:
i have the headlights and the 14b turbo
will be ordering the suspension kit very soon
all turbo parts within the next month or 2
and when that is all set im going to gather all the 5 spd parts and then when the auto shits the bed the 5 spd is ready 2 go in

im waitin to do the swap as this tranny is only 4 months old and is in great shape
ill keep you posted as i gather new parts and ill inclusde some pics along the way

yes...kill the auto!!!

**Galanttuner10** · 12-11-2008, 01:02 PM

yea brian im gonna fry the auto then swap it.. might as well get some use out of it..

turbo arrived 2day and i checked it out and everything checks out.. its in the same condition as the last time i saw it when i took it outta his car

**Galanttuner10** · 12-23-2008, 12:09 AM

alright we r moving along and the intercooler got here 2day.. its a 27x5.5x2.5 with 2 inch i got it instead of an evo 8 intercooler cuz im leaving the stock bumber and this intercooler will run right along the bottom opening

ill have 2 take some pics of everything as i have the tokico suspension kit and the sway bar and the headlights im just getting the rest of the turbo parts before i snap some picks

**Galanttuner10** · 01-06-2009, 05:24 PM

i got bored and did the headlights the other day and heres how they came out

**Galanttuner10** · 01-08-2009, 12:49 AM

im at a little bit of a cross road.. i am going 2 also be getting a 2g head and stuff. heres the choice and id like some input on this. i was thinking of just going dohc and doing the ecu swap for now.. then when i convert it 2 5 spd then make it turbo

any input is nice.. i know the auto will blow with the turbo and the added top end of the dohc can hold me till i go 5 spd

or i can go turbo on stock motor as i first planned and hope the auto holds

or ai can do it all at once

remember im not going 5spd anytime soon.. wut should i do?

**Galanttuner10** · 01-12-2009, 12:08 PM

**Galant306m** · 01-12-2009, 12:27 PM

that intercooler is tinny.

**4-G-rim** · 01-12-2009, 12:49 PM

Dude..you put you parts on the same place you sleep? Gross:smt037

**Galanttuner10** · 01-12-2009, 12:51 PM

haha 4grim i dont have them there but i had both garages full as it was snowing out lmao

and the intercooler may look tinny but its not.. its pretty solid.. i think the flash reflecting off it made it look that way

**Galanttuner10** · 01-12-2009, 01:43 PM

just recieved my 1g throttle body no pics as of right now as im cleaning it up a bit

**Galant306m** · 01-13-2009, 12:27 AM

i got a blow off valve ill sell you cheap, and no not my hks one ahahaha. i got a hks type its just like the hks but not a hks haha. Its a sequential blow off valve.

**greddy** · 01-13-2009, 12:47 AM

get an evo 9 factory bypass valve, very reliable, cheap, evo guys keep theirs for a reason, unless of course you want the noisy psh noise

**Galant306m** · 01-13-2009, 12:50 AM

Fine greddy ruin a sale hahah jk.! its all good if he doesn't want it i throw it up on ebay.

**greddy** · 01-13-2009, 12:57 AM

not trying to ruin the sale, I'm just suggesting it, a lot of DSM guys are using them as well rather than going aftermarket

**Galant306m** · 01-13-2009, 12:58 AM

lol its cool i was just letting him know that i had a extra one laying around and if he wanted it, it was his for the taking before i decide to put it up on ebay. lol

**Galanttuner10** · 01-13-2009, 02:25 PM

haha its all good.. i have a crushed 1g bov ill be using so i have no need for it

**Galanttuner10** · 02-02-2009, 12:58 AM

**Galanttuner10** · 02-22-2009, 07:12 PM
